New bag advice
« on: December 15, 2014, 07:19:03 PM »
Hi all.  Advice and recommendations required please.

My brother has asked me for a new cricket bag for Christmas, (leaving it quite late I know)!

Requirements:

- Medium size - He has specifically asked for not too big.  Enough space for bat/s, batting pads, batting gloves, helmet, spikes and whites.
- £50 budget - Give or take a small amount.
- Wheelie or Duffle would be fine.
- Any brand - He doesn't use a specific brand, just a mixture of gear.
- Would like the full length of the bag to open, like on a wheelie bag.  Doesn't like the idea of just the end of the bag opening, like on some/most/all stand-up bags.  Not sure if this rules the duffles out or not?

Advice, recommendations etc are invited from forum members and sponsors.

Thanks in advance.

GM 2015 Original Duffle should fit the requirements, not that anybody has seen one yet!

Don't think it opens fully. I was going to say GN or GM duffle until I saw that.

I've just ordered the Salix Pod Pro which I think meets most of your requirements

Cost me £52 inc postage

By all accounts pretty decent

Just brought a Salix Pod One tri-wheel - quality is the best on the market in my opinion.

Think the B&S is a great deal and I've seen the Salix bags and must agree the quality and sturdiness of material used seems second to none.

On the GM Original Duffle, does anyone know if the biggest zip/section with GM and Original written on opens into the main bag compartment or is sort of a separate pocket on the bag?  On my Old GM Original Wheelie the big zip on the top of a bag is a separate shallow compartment that I keep paperwork, scorebook, whites, deodorant in etc.

Narrowed it down to the GM Original Duffle and the Salix Pod Pro.  Decisions decisions? Time to start searching the net for best price!

GM duffle has arrived in stock to us today. Full length opening on the front gives access to the main compartment. Great bag.

I'd be looking at the Kookaburra Pro Players duffle. Bat pockets are internal rather than external, so no chance of rain, etc getting onto the handles or sneaking through the zipped pocket, heaps of room for all kit plus clothing/accessories. Looks a good one to me and I'm seriously looking at one...
