Equipment Bag Question

The equipment bag I use for non-baseball sports I do is getting old and worn out. Also, I wear size 15 wide shoes, so I have a hard time finding bags to fit my shoes and sweaty gear in after games.

What do you guys use as a bag to carry your equipment and uniforms in? Do you have a favorite? Where did you get it?

Also, since I do multiple sports, I have multiple rule books and materials. Anyone have a good case to carry them in that they would recommend?

While this may seem trivial to some on the forum, I just would like to make my life easier, and my uniforms looking better at games.

Thanks!

Well...I suppose I'll answer this (see previous threads for the on-going inside joke)...

I use a rolling suit case. Fits everything very nicely. I got mine from an online store (www.luggagebase.com). I've used this site twice and they are pretty good and have decent prices. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend, etc. as far as what kind of bag you get.

Here's a picture of Tanner carrying his equipment bag to a game:


Most of the rest of us pick up something at Target, Wal Mart, or the like. For me, I like the rolling carry-on size suitcase. It's a pain to roll it over a gravel parking lot, but it's great on sidewalks and hallways. I've seen others use the over-the-shoulder gym bags. I guess it's just a matter of preference, and how much stuff you need to bring with you.

I used a rolling suitcase for a while. Then I moved here, and virtually everyone uses an over-the-shoulder gym bag. As the new guy, I wasn't interested in standing out too much, so I started using my bag instead.

That must really eat up the game fees, Tanner.

Here's what I use. Kind of hard to fit in a locker, though.

I got mine from Eastbay. Here's the link to what I use: http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/produ...032102/size--/
Oh yeah...I have size 14 feet...so I'm at least close. My shoes fit in just great with room to spare.

This is the one I use (in black of course). http://www.sportsauthority.com/sm-un...i-1807244.html

It has plenty of space.

I got this 4-piece set at BJ's Wholesale and use the 21" expandable bag for my games.

I just picked up a black rolling suitcase from Wal-mart. It works for me in football, basketball, and track. I get razzed by my football crew because I'm the only one with a rolling case, but it's got a lot of space and I usually have more than I need in it.

When I see the rolling suitcase I figure the guy got kicked out of the house.
