Thoughts on the Slazenger V360 Holdall bag? http://www.slazenger.com/cricket-luggage/v360-holdall.html. Looks nice but never seen one in the flesh.

Love my M&H CK22 duffle.

Fits all my kits in it (inc. WK gear) with masses of room to spare!

Do you use the bag for matches? Does it take all your whites, spikes, towel, food etc or do you need to take another small bag for clothes?

I have one. Works very well. With all your kit in it does get very full, and I wouldn't recommend it if you are carrying wk gear.

I carry two bats, pads, two pairs of gloves, helmet, box, aero p2s, boots, trousers, shirt, jumper, boxers and socks, travel towel, two or three balls plus a few other bits and pieces in one.

Also have M&H CK duffle, fit everything in easily.
Pads, Aero p1 and a bag of 2 x gloves, inners, 2 caps and other bits in one side pocket.
Towels wash stuff etc in the 2nd side pocket (and dirty kit after the match)
2 x spikes in the boot compartment in the bottom
2 bats, hoody, training kit, 2 jumpers, and all cricket whites plus helmet in the central compartment with loads to spare.
I use it for matches and training it's massive and stands up with all kit in or out.

I wish we have all these bags available in US, shipping cost just kills it

I have the old woodworm red duffle which is great for match days! Fits pads, gloves, helmet, whites and two pairs of spikes and room for some sundries!

Woodworm here too, I assume we are talking about the large duffle with the two shoulder straps.

 Duffles are not so popular in oz yet, so I got mine off ebay cheap. Two padded bat pockets is handy and the two side pockets are great for pads.  The lack of internal pockets is a minor letdown, but the fact I can pack another bag inside and a small cooler is a huge bonus. The thing is the size of my old kooka wheelie, but I appreciate not hitting everyone and thing I pass by carrying the wheelie.

That's basically the Ton duffle that Vitas sell but in red.

Wow, same basic design ton colour scheme is not as loud and probably more appealing to the eye. Must say the woodworm is a bit top heavy if you have enough gear to fill it, maybe the ton being more rectangular is more stable free standing. Still both bags are a great idea. It would easily take a set of pads in each side pocket, so if I was a keeper that would be great for organising my gear. The top pocket is lockable too.

Edit: I just watched the ICJ review and it's the same bag, but the TON has more padding on the back and the name tag. Agree with Paul I wish the front pocket allowed me to store a helmet. I brought a separate woodworm shoe bag...so I guess I now have two.

What's the thoughts on an External front pocket on duffle bags? Alot of duffle bags have these large flat zipped pockets on the front which when the bag is full one can't really put anything in other than a thin phone etc despite the pockets size.

Are shoe pockets important in a duffle bag and if so is the bottom of the bag the best place?

Just ordered the affinity phantom duffle bag from Vitas. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Looks sweet in the pics.

I bought a cheap adidas football boot bag from sports direct - does the job - keeps dirty spikes off other stuff

Agree. Find this the best way.

I've been using the GN duffle - I know they are really hard to get hold of, but mine has taken over as my main match bag!
Takes 2 pairs of boots, helmet, 2 bats, pads, 2 pairs of gloves, thigh pads, caps, whites, box, inners, shades, sun lotion, etc.
Has two slots for the bats, shoe section in the bottom, a separate zipped top for whites, and three external additional zipped pockets so well planned out!
Stands up well too and comfy to carry as the straps and back are well padded.
Is it the best? Not sure how it measures up to the MH, TON and other similar high quality duffles. But it's certainly up there with the best IF you can get hold of one!!
