After noticing that a growing number of people are interested in duffle bags on a regular basis, I also am planning on getting one. From what I've seen from forum members, the general trend is either buying a Newbery GT 335 or a Gray Nicolls Pro Performance. I was wondering which one is better and why.

Many Thanks

i found the newbery gt duffle too small. couldnt even get my bat, pads, gloves and helmet in the main pocket :/ the puma one i had was very good

GN Bag is poor quality in my opinion and looks awful.

I've got a chase duffle bag and the quality and space is brilliant - two external spaces for bats too.

I have a GT duffle, the shoe part is a must, its has a bat sleeve inside. But sometimes it can be a bit small, fitting 2 bats, 1 pair of pads,  1 pair of gloves, strippers, helmet, skyer boom bat can be a bit of a squeeze. This also effect the sizes of the 2 outer pockets.

I have a gt duffle to fit a load of bats in, does great job but when bats go it wont be needed!

I find the GN pro performance great as the bottom section is for boots but it still stands up on its own (if that makes sense) and then there are 3 separate pockets of different sizes which gives you added flexibility deciding what to take with you. Then there is a bat pocket on the outside and inside so all in all a very cleverly designed bag

I'm picking my GN Duffle up later so will let you know what i think, but have heard its a top bag, if you want one be quick as it took me ages to locate my one

[Canners]

will do mate

I have a GT duffle, which is decent but haven't tried to use it for normal kit yet.
I was impressed with the GN PP Duggle at the trade show, but haven't tested it for quality, but looks perfect assuming the quality os decent.

picked my GN pro performance up on friday and am very pleased with it fits all my kit in and theres room for a couple of bats at least

[Wills]

any pics?
i haven't seen one in the flesh, so numbers are a bit misleading.

[Canners]

I hope the ayrtek duffle has some sort of padded cover for bats like the wheelie.
