Leave it to Boston fans to be assholes whenever they get the chance.

I’m glad I went to do something productive instead of watch that garbage pile of a hockey game. Ended up walking five miles instead. Got home just after it ended. Perfect timing.

Jersey is back in the closet, and flag has been taken down. Another year, another disappointment.

I use a $3 mat from IKEA

Definitely. I love features on a bag. The best bag I've ever used was from Mammoth. Totally worth it. I can't stand the bags that are just one big open space.

It was more of a common sense statement than anything.

I can imagine it might be tough to put in a warranty claim on a machine that wasn’t transported in their case. Not trying to suggest I have reason to think they would do that but they certainly COULD make a case that if it wasn’t properly protected then it’s not their problem. And again I’ll reiterate, I’m not suggesting they would or will do so. I don’t want to start a debate about it. Just something to consider.

Or depending on the fabric, pantskinz.

Just so many better options. I don’t think somebody who has been as big of a part of this site as him really needs to worry about his post count

If you actually travel with it, yeah. I don't so at this point I have a small pelican case that contains just the accessories tray.

This is kind of amusing. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/2019/04/18/lightnings-ouster-forces-nhl-to-adjust-playoff-bracket-challenge/

Yea I could see that. £600 for Sparx vs around £369 for a pelican with foam may be more than many people could stomach. But in the US it's definitely worth it (again unless you can find one used for cheap).

Yuck.

Sorry I meant the generic pelican foam isn’t cheap. I wasn’t referring to the Sparx foam. I only mentioned it because Leif specified the price of a case with no foam which could be misleading for anyone else reading this thread who doesn’t realize how much the foam itself costs. If you can get a used case and foam for decently cheap then I’m all for it. My overall point was that with what a new case with stock foam costs ($300) or a new case with custom foam costs ($500), the Sparx case at 400 isn’t that unreasonable. Just to try to put some context into it when people get the sticker shock.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. The foam inserts alone are very expensive. You have to compare it to a case with foam.
