Gear Bag?

Be4life182 · 07-11-2008, 07:48 PM

I was wondering what everyone here used for a gearbag? Id love to buy a nice one like a body bag or a nice roller, but cant justify spending that much. I was using a duffle bag but want something with more rigidity and compartments to make things easier, plus the zipper broke. So what have you come up with?

WHAT?

Take a trip to home depot and you may be able to find a nice tot (I think that's how it's spelt) They should have wheels and be around $40 I'm not all that positive but They are hard plastic and I believe a member here went to home depot to get one.

You could then use your own compartments.

You could...if you want to get really cheap...

Use the clear plastic one's that you'd get at wal-mart but then again just remember you get what you pay for....

I just use "cheep" duffle bags. You can get decent 36 inch wheeled ones on sale for $30. I've also split my load into a couple of smaller bags just to be easier to carry. A lot of bags are on sale now for back to school specials.

I never saw the point in expensive gear bags. I have been using a freebie gym bag for years. Granted I have to clip my mask and freak kit on the outside, but it has worked great. I keep a tupperware container on the inside for tools and parts, and put the other bits in the outside pockets.

I have an Eclipse bag. My wife gave it to me as a birthday present 3 years ago. Wow 3 years ago geez. What happens to time? I used to use a backpack.

I picked up an NXE rolling gear back at the NPPL event. I really do like it.

I really need to get a "real" gear bag. I have stuff stuck into two gym bags and still have tons left over.

AV has some nice ones.

the great big one is really huge and costs around 12 bucks. (no joke) i got one, and its just as nice as my friends NXE ones. really is a great gear bag.

I've been using a dye navigator i think is what its called. its pretty big. I have 4 marker setups in there. thats tanks, barrels, pods, packs, 2 masks, and two sets of paintball clothes, and all my tools. thing ways a ton. I need to actually downsize. its a good bag but pricey. you can do better with plastic bins and hard cases with foam. its way cheaper too.
