How do you pack your duffle?
« on: April 07, 2016, 05:16:14 PM »

This is what I have found works best for both the Supernova, as well as last year's Kook Pro Players duffle.

The logic I use is that when I pad up to bat, I should be able to do so without taking everything out of the bag first. And so this is what I ended up doing in the main compartment:

Helmet at the very bottom, straddled by my batting pads (I only have one pair). I also slide down my chest guard (not used in games) and have it "hug" one of the batting pads.
Elbow guard, gloves piled on to the helmet.
Next come the thigh guards....resting on the two top hats of the batting pads.
Box on top of thigh guards.

So, when I pad up, I just open the top flap, and go about it (box first, then thigh pads, etc, etc, helmet at the very end).

Everything else goes around this basic concept. One side pocket is the dedicated "infrequent use" pocket, and has spare stretto fox straps, medical stuff, etc.

All other stuff (whites, socks, shades, balls, etc) gets distributed in the other pockets and shoe tunnel (I also stuff a few balls in the shoe tunnel).

Two helmets at the bottom, followed by batting and keeping pads; strippers go next to them and then batting and keeping gloves go at the top.

Yet to find a place for my spikes, may have to find a bag for them!!

Down the bottom. Not needed shoes yet as I've only used it indoors but there's a pair of trainers in there (not moved since I first packed the bag) and the helmet section is empty. My lid goes in the main compartment.

Assuming you have to put them both in before the rest of your kit?

The shoes? Can chuck them in the shoe tunnel whenever
The bag has enough room I can pack all the crap I could ever need for a game, plus some extra, and I don't have to manoeuvre stuff in

Both them and the helmet was thinking about getting one as my GM bag is massive but doesnt really hold alot so it seems, do you reckon you could get 2 pairs of boots in the boot pocket? Or 1 pair in the shoe and 1 in the helmet pocket and just put the helmet in the main compartment

You could probably get 3 pairs in the boot tunnel if you really wanted to mate, my one pair probably feel a bit lost
