So heres the thing... Stand up wheelies are becoming more of a comkon thing now with people wanted to save space in the changing room but also have alot of kit in them! But what would be your best bag if you could have it your way?

I found that the dividing shelf always collapses and everything falls in to the lower section which is a pain because you never want to be pulling your whole bag out to get to something! Maybe securing all 4 sides a bit like the aero bag so it doesnt collapse might be an option?

I love the idea of having a shoe tunnel as quite frankly my shoes stink! So this is a must for both of my boots

The GM I have doesnt allow you to have the divider high enough to get your pads in the same section, so this is also a must.

If im honest i would probably have a H4L tempo but with some zips on the side so you can get to each section individually as well as open the whole front instead of the 2 large pockets on the side.

And an all important valuables pocket inside, i know IJC would love that!!

What are your thoughts?

My perfect stand up wheelie.


Top opening,
3 protective bat covers.
Seperate white pocket.
Seperate shoe tunnel.
2side pockets.
Valuable pockets.

Big padded carry straps.
No wheels.......


So basically a duffle.

Unless you have to, due to transport, why carry all that weight on your shoulders Chris?

Never had a wheelie that's lasted a season, they rip and scuff on the floor as there dragged along.

They bang the back of your legs. if slightly loaded to one side they twist and fall over.

They take up far too much room.




Duffle, never had an issue with weight(car park to changing rooms isn't really that far is it?), can fit so so much gear in, and after a full season my kook still looks brand new.
Plus my team mates love me as I take up sod all room in the changing room.

Anything that can easily sit in my car. Big duffle bag does, wheelie bag does not.

Damn you duffle lovers

CK22 Duffle for me. Like Chris has said, a trip from the car to the changing room isn't that far. Two straps and you get on with it. Nothing worse than having to drag a bag along the floor. Also they take up far too much room. Duffle you can just put on the bench where you change and take it down when you need to sit down

Also wheeling through muddy puddles, water gets into the metal that holds the wheels on, wheels start squeaking
And not to mention the trail behind you of mud

Sorry guys....not convinced. I've got an Aero stand up and they take up bugger all room. I'd recommend anyone to get one. I can't see how a 1xmetre long standup wheely takes up any more room than a big duffle. I have absolutely no interest in lugging 15kgs or so on my back and my Aero has no damage from the season.

Add in a helmet pocket and it's there - plus 3 wheels for stability. From the bottom upwards:-

Front:-
Front pocket - shoes
Pocket above for helmet
A bigger zipped area for access to pads/gear and a hidden padded valuables pocket

Side Pockets - 2 one side and a ;arge whites pocket the other

Top pocket for gloves/light stuff
3 Padded bat caves
3 Wheels on the bottom

You want it to primarily function as an upright bag but without having to carry it.

Exactly with the option of using it as a standard double decker?

I need to do some drawings, basically might be able to create a bag that is a mixture of the all stand up bags!

[Woodyspin]

Although thinking about it with a shoe tunnel, helmet pocket, pads pocket and a pocket for light stuff all stacked on top of eachother it starts getting quite tall and impractical for car boots

[Mel Jessop]

Shoe tunnel/helmet, in the same space, a double decker compartment, saving the length of the bag?

Yeah could do that i do actually like having my pads seperate in my GN bag but the front pocket isnt quite big enough for the OSM pads so its a bit of a squeeze

Like the kook pro duffle, have 2 top zips. One opens a top section and the one below opens in the area behind the shoe and helmet pockets. Alternatively, do away with the side smaller pockets and create 1 large "pad pocket" on either side. Create a 3rd small pocket between the helmet pocket /top section for what would of been in the side pockets.
