How about these? Each is 8' long, so no matter the size of the parent, or amount of hot air dispensed... ;)

And they look kinda funny too! :shock:

I really liked the Boombah bag but it was a bit snug for the all the catchers gear. Bag wore well but we did have a seperation from the bag and the stitching of the main zipper due to overstuffing. Otherwise, the rest of the bag is in great shape. We didn't have any issues with the wheels ourselves.

This season we purchased a bunch of OGIO Cruisers for the catchers. Waste of good cash. The bags tilt, wobble and on one, the zipper broke within a few weeks. It has lots of room but you have to pack it in a certain way to make sure it doesn't sag to one side and start dragging. We had also purchased a Line Drive bag. Cheap, rolls well, has a telescope handle and no issue's with wheels or wear. That's the bag we should have purchased for all the catchers.

I too believe am starting to believe you have to purchase a new bag for every season. At least one of these honkers for the catchers. We did purchase the Boombah back packs for the rest of the team and they are "way kewl". Kids had an easier time carrying (sp) them than the regular slings. You did have to master how to pack it but once you had it figured out, no problem. They also hold 4 bats.

We had the anderson bag the last couple of seasons. They did the job. they lasted about one season (100-120 games, 4 flights-baggage check-ins) each time.
A little small for catchers. They fit all the catchers gear, but the bags ended up ripping.
The others had some interior rips and small holes where they drag them.

We are switching to Worth bags this season. :mrgreen:
Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

Arto, if the Anderson bag was such a great success, then why switch to the Worth bags? Stick with what works for you!!!!

You're gonna laugh at my rec ball choice, but the best catcher bag that's held up for us so far is the E2 bags, I think from Gear Guard?

Love the monster wheels, holds everything, and does not have a single loose thread. It's always the bag she goes to when the other ones break, or have to be turned in ;)

Bugs,

There's no such thing as a problem parent. These are opportunities to help you grow and develop those interpersonal skills that are so critical in life.

Then again...we all have monkeys on our backs that we need to get rid of.

Best........

Ice
