Backpack / duffel bag suggestions

[Bermanator98]

Right now carrying all of my stuff to and from games is quite a hassle, since I have my gun box (just bought a gun bag), my PC, boots, and a big plastic bag filled with BBs, my pistol, and other random stuff. I want to minimize this to one or two bags at most. I'm looking for something that can hold all of that stuff (PC, pistol, BBs, goggles, face mask, and have room for expansion. I don't need anything super-sized, I managed to fit all that stuff in a random duffel bag from home, but it barely fit, so I want something designed for it. I don't plan on using it as a backpack for MILSIMs, just basic carrying equipment to and from the field.

I also don't want to spend a whole lot, $100 at max. Amazon Prime would be nice, but not a requirement. I found this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01...F2DOT7PL&psc=1 but for the price, I think it may be too good to be true. Reviews seem okay, but not sure if I want to take the chance. Duffel bag style is preferred over a backpack, but if it's a good price and good functionality then I may consider it. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks,


Michael

For $100 or under and have it be big enough and of quality, go to a surplus shop and pick up a barrel bag.

Anyone have experience with the Condor Centurion?

A hockey bag would work. I know its a hockey bag, but it is a lot more discrete and more affordable.

Not sure if Kutter or EOD Steve just didn't say anything, or if something got messed up, but I see nothing.


How much would I have to spend to get a decent duffel bag capable of being rough-handled and fit all of my gear, with some room for expansion?

^ that would be a good start.. then go from there.

Unless you spend a ton of money and even then hockey bags still tear.. their zippers and stitching are garbage.

Actually that statement is true. If you can a decent bag, or a budget backpacking backpack will do.

condor makes masssive gearbags for around $100

Do yourself a favour and don't get an "airsoft" bag (eg: condor)

Pick up a surplus Force Protector Gear USMC deployment bag. Yes, USMC as in the US Marines. I have had mine for 4 years and dragged it all over the globe. Nothing has broken.

definitely look at surplus military bags, not condor... especially if you are going to spend 100$ on a condor bag, a used military bag will be better quality. Condor gun bags always have zippers or handles tear or break. If their double gun bags have issues holding 2 rifles as designed, then their gear bags will almost definitely have the same issues with improperly sewn/reinforced handles and zipper seams.
