Not sure I agree with that. I actually bought a duffle so it's easy to commute on public transport which actually requires a bit more walking. So a proper waist strap would be very nice to have. Add a couple of wheels on the bottom in case you feel like wheeling it around. And I reckon that would be a really sweet duffle! So who's gonna make it?  :D

Oh if you're using Public Transport then by all means it makes sense to take the load off. But outside of London, I highly doubt more than 10% of cricketers get the Bus / Train to Cricket.

Also, I believe the BB Duffle has wheels on it? Sure one of the guys can confirm.

It looks like a all thought out duffle with s few pockets rather then one big one which seems to be a common comment.

I seem to remember the bb duffle having wheels

Out of interest has anyone seen both this and the new kookaburra duffle.

From what I've seen the kookaburra may allow you to organise your kit better with more compartments which is my only issue with duffles at the moment.

The Kookaburra duffle is the best of all in my opinion. It has 2 internal bat compartments unlike the GM, with which the bats are on the outside.

Having done a 100km walk with a rucksack, a chest/waist strap is essential. Amazing how much load it takes from your shoulders and back...

Blank Bats produced a duffle (pretty compact but big enough) which has wheels which is a bit of a USP. Must admit though, they didn't get much use from me as I found the top strap a bit short to pull the bag easily. However, the bag is very easy to carry, even slung over one shoulder on short journeys, and has a wealth of pockets. I can get a full kit in mine, including helmet, plus two bats, and it's compact enough to fit in the boot of my late middle youth (No Swearing Please) car.
