B3 sell their own bags though, CB don't.

They don't need to make bags... They make other products under the CBF logo

Typically if you use a logo on an item like this it is polite to at least ask to use it.
The forum would rather promote its sponsors than banned members.

I don't think either of those things are unreasonable.

now if people want some CBF bags - hummm we could give it some thought (although they would need to be at least as good as the ones currently offered in the market and that feels like a load of work!! Lets face it the SS, Salix, GM, Newbery, Blank Bats, Affinity, Red Ink etc bags are all very good)

You could call it CustomBags

I can see why they wouldn't be happy, but I do still see it as a forum with a shop tacked on rather than a business, maybe the owners see differently.

no idea, youd have to ask b3.


i was gonna have b3 put on my strettons, as to match my kit at the time, but went with another design. i wouldnt have ask them though. well because there my thigh pads and i wouldnt plan on selling them.

Im glad someone sees my method of thinking. It is a private use and i still thought I could show my support for the forum.

$250 and you still need to make modifications to it?!

Clearly you have deeper pockets than me haha!

Modifications aren't costing anything more as the walls i am making are just the hard casing in the base of my old bags, the velcro is already sown in the bag, just need to stick on velcro to the old base's. The wheel/s  i am adding are also off my old bag and wont take me that long to fit.

$250 and a few alterations and i see no reason my bag wont last at least 5 years

Who made it btw? It seems like the bag is one big compartment, so apart from the custom printing.. isn't 250 dollars bit too much for something like this?

I sourced my custom bag through an agent

Ok mate, I am a bit intrigued because I have seen very similar bags being sold as just bags [not cricket specific], more like luggage bags in India.

What is the custom bit here apart from the logos?

Did you design color scheme or picked from a range of options.

What annoys me about really big bags is the bit where you have to overhaul the whole thing while looking for something. This is very I quite liked the Aero Tour but it was a bit too big, stiff and cumbersome.

Hi palmist, sorry for delay, mixture of pre season trial games, my old mans 50th birthday party as well as fathers day here in AUS.

This bag has been purpose built, the pockets on the bags were modeled on a bag from a well known cricket brand. The colour scheme was brought about by working with the agent and had a range of options but was in essence my idea.

This bag has some flaws as the manufacturer forgot the walls that would hold the sides up and give stability, They were meant to just be attached by velcro. The velcro is sewn in, just minus the walls, so i am making my own.

I am making them out  of old plastic liners from previous cricket bags and attaching stick on velcro to them.
I have also added 2 extra wheels to the bag as it lacked a bit of stability and dragged a little but after putting them on this afternoon it has solved that problem.
Those pics are coming shortly

To answer your question about overhauling the bag to find what you need, I pack my bag meticulously so i know exactly where everything is. there is enough room in the bag to search without throwing items out of the bag and placing them back in the bag.

Hope that helps mate

Pics of the wheels being added, so simple and has now solved my dragging dilemma which you can see even after 1 use it was dragging

[The Palmist]

Top job there mate

[Fearless Fly]

Thanks mate, walls are my next project. Will make the bag last more than 5 season i reckon. only ever got 2 seasons out of a wheelie so anything over that is good

[Neon Cricket]

I still can't get over how you're happy to pay $250 for a bag that stills needs work doing to it?! Surely if the manufacturer didn't make it right in the first place you'd get a refund or a replacement?

[Fearless Fly]

I am happy mate as the modifications i have made will make it last a long time, the walls were a mistake on his behalf and simply forgot to put them in the box to pack. The Wheels was a design flaw as i assumed it would be a minimum 3 wheel bag due to its size and honestly i am happier it is a 4 now. $250USD including dhl cargo for a bag that is 110/55/48 is crazy cheap for a custom designed bag. Quote from some companies were in excess of $300 before shipping and were not using dhl
