Goalie Bag - Need suggestions

[DangerIsGo 0]

Im in need of a hockey goalie bag. Here are the requirements:

Inexpensive (around <$80)

Able to hold 32" leg pads with all equipment

Rollers would be nice

Decent build quality

I currently have a Bauer bag made for player equipment that I got for Christmas many, many years ago and the bottom is starting to tear. I know one day its fully going to give out but Id like to be that happen AFTER I get a new bag, hopefully for this Christmas. So any suggestions? Thanks.

i can fit all my equipment and more in it and it has wheels - if thats too expensive then maybe someone else on here can point you in the right direction.

Eagle goalie bags, may not have wheels but will only cost you $70 bucks, I got 36" pads, jerseys, and sweatsuit easily in there. really durable too, have had mine for two seasons on a province wide travelling team, no holes or anything.

The McKenney 852 (I think) bags are re-branded versions of the SMI Monster Wheel Bag, which is bar-none the best wheel bag ever made. Easily holds 38" pads and XXL NHL-sized gear, and the construction is better than anything else around. Look for the letters "SMI" on the rivet-heads, and you'll know you have a winner.

the Vaughn one is a little too expensive, I'm already getting a 360 for Christmas so it can't be that much, preferably under $80. Could I also get links to the actual store's item? Thanks again.

wow people really try to fit there pads in their bags, that makes me sad :(

Why does that make you sad? I've carried all my gear in a single bag for some time now.

Me too. It's quite convenient having everything in one bag.

Then they're pretty stupid girls, if they can't notice the Goalie sticks

I know a couple guys that had problems with them. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole.

I went through 2 of those vaughn roller bags in one year, they suck, on both of them the zippers fell off and the stiching is very cheap and poorly done.

So besides the vaughn bag, any good, inexpensive bag?

Alls I would look for is a big, roomy bag, with no special compartments (many one or two small ones for misc stuff, clothes, etc), because it saves a lot of space this way (or rather, doesn't have unnecessary space).

I know of a goalie who uses the TPS R8 bag, and I'd recommend it. http://www.hockeygiant.com/tpsr8tmglbg.html

Will that be enough to hold all of my stuff including 32" leg pads? Thanks.

[OhMyGodImOnFire 0]

yeah, without a doubt. the teammate who uses them just throws them in there (in a sensible, organized mess of course) and it looks like it fits in comfortably. I also think he uses 32" pads too.

[Gummer12 134]

Keep us posted, I too am looking into a new bag. Will it be big enough for the pillows too? Any estimates on a time frame for launch?

[Gummer12 134]

Sounds Great.. Can't wait to see it.

I just got a bag for christmas, Bauer Vapor wheeled bag. What do you guys think?

It doesn't say VAPOR on the sides, but just the nike logo and Bauer like on the left side in that picture, but everything else is identical.

I can't believe this! I got the bag for christmas and I was so happy about it. Everything was working great, until recently. I just noticed that the bottom lining where the side meets the base, right under the bottom handle, is ripped! What do I do? My mom threw out the receipt for Consignment Sports (for those Central, NJ people) so what do I do? Do I go back to the store? Do I contact Nike Bauer? If so, how? Its barely 2 months old. Thanks.

dude hockey giant tps r8 goalie bag with wheels look up my forum with the bag its huge ull fit 3 people in it great price

[DangerIsGo 0]

Thanks for your reply, but I'm still wondering how do I get this fixed. Do I contact bauer? Do I goback to the store w/out the receipt?

[Law Goalie 147]

I'd suggest having your mother (since they may remember her) take the bag back with her credit card statement (in lieu of receipt) to the store, and at least get an exchange or a credit against a better bag.

However, my advice would be to spend the store credit on something else, and wait for Marcelo's bag - it's going to be spectacular.

Marcelos Bag?
