Bag advice
« on: July 24, 2015, 08:45:15 AM »
Hi everyone,

I've been using the B3 big bag for a couple of seasons but have only just realised it is too big for the amount of equipment I have and it takes up a lot of space in the dressing room both at home and away matches.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a smaller wheelie bag? I tried a Gn1000 duffle at the start if the season but split within 2 weeks of purchase so not keen on the duffles.

Have a look at the red ink sale mate, I've got one of their duffles and love it. There's a nice stand up wheelie in there too, and the value for money is hard to beat.

I invested in the B&S wheelie bag whilst it was on offer for £25 on their website (it still maybe). Good size not too big or small, fits everything in for a Saturday including whites and towel without room for much more. It is about 100cm x 35cm x 35cm. Fits in the back of most cars comfortably including my clio.

Can't go wrong with the Salix Pod Pro bag. It's a small to medium size bag, has a bat cave for two bats and the metrial is incredibly sturdy.

Bit put off duffles after my gn1000 experience but that one looks really well designed. What can you fit inside it?

Off the top of my head:
Shoes, 6 bats, a pair of pads, 2 pairs of batting gloves, a helmet, Aero strippers, a box, an arm guard, clothing for a game, a wash kit, 4 balls, spare grips, fielding gloves & a grip cone.
also a 1st aid kit, various support things and lots of tape!
All that plus room to spare  :D

I have the GN1000 but no real problems. Did you get your money back?

Bag was sent back in the post but Royal Mail lost it. Have made a claim for compensation but still waiting to hear back from them

Should definitely be able to keep all my stuff in there. I only have 2 bats!

Mine stands up fine in the changing room and doesn't annoy anyone by taking up too much space

You could definitely get another bat in the bat pockets and an extra lid on top of the kit, come on! ;) Great bag though, have had a whole bundle of gear in mine without feeling like I'm overfilling it.
