Maybe a bit less controversial this time, but hopefully no less interesting!  :)

Good read Paul.  Will you be doing a review of the Supernova duffle when you get them in stock?  I really like the look of it and want to make sure i'll be able to get everything in there although looking at the inital pics I'm sure that won't be a problem!  :)

Amazing % figure of your total bag sales which as noted must be heavily influenced by your location. Nobody at my club has one and I can't remember seeing anyone using one down in my neck of the woods.

Not very common out in the wilds where I'm from either, I live in a pretty rural area (The Lake District) and there is a distinct lack of public transport available to get to some of the small towns and villages that form most clubs regular fixtures, I've always put the lack of duffle bags in my area down to this.

Yes.  Looking forward to that one as it's possibly my favourite new duffle for 2016! Expect to see it late November/early December on our channel.

I was the first to get one a few years back now.

Last season there was atleast 6 in our first team, and a few more in the club.


Not many at other clubs though, the wheelie still rules elsewhere.

Definitely down to location, I'd say a good 75% of bags I see around the London teams are duffle's now

Would you say the GN duffle is miles better than the CK22?

Better, but I wouldn't say "miles better".  It's a bit more organised, stands up better and I think it looks a bit nicer.  Crazily, the CK22 duffle looks a bit dated now for me.  Guess it shows how quickly the market has moved on!

As it says I think it depends on location, but also maybe things like age? I imagine younger players will find it more comfortable than seniors having a fair bit of weight on their backs.

Great, will keep an eye out for it on YouTube then.  I've used the Prestige bag this year and although it did the job really well I'd like a bit more separation of kit / keeping kit / bats etc (OCD I know!) as I ended up having to take and a holdall to matches, so if it could all get in a duffle I'm sold!  :D

I have a duffle btw but I'm the only one in the club to have one though :)

I have 3. i also have 2 wheelie bags. I find duffle bags much easier to cart around. I also find I am more selective over what I put in them so I don't carry more than I need to. I find many wheelie bags don't wheel very well, particularly over slightly rough ground. Someone should put little pump up wheels on them.

Iv been using a duffle bag or the newer back pack style duffle for the last 2 years. Used the TON one that I got from Vitas. I would never go back to the wheelie bag as the duffle are so compact fits batting + keeping kit 2 bats, whites, spikes and lid in compartment and shower kit in side holders or front pocket. Got the B&S one or the CK22 for next year.

Also got most of the players at my club using them so when we go to away games can fit 5 people plus 5 of these in my boot where as before always had to lay seats back to fit the large wheelie bags in and most players only have single bat softs and whites so a waste of space.
Finally value for money the duffles cost about £35-40 compared to £70+ for large wheelie bags
