penguinpelts 7 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 Happy Holidays everyone. Have a quick question about hockey bags. My trustee old, basic Bauer bag is finally splitting, and the zipper keeps coming off the track. Since I started searching for hockey bags, I'm getting all of the ads for Conway & Banks, and similar bags that look to have a lot of bells and whistles. Does anyone actually have one of these? Are there other brands that you've found to be very durable? Are the C&B bags really just a bunch of a fluff or are they worth it? How about Pacific Rink? Please let me know your thoughts, and thank you in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Westside 218 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I’ve been using a pacific rink varsity bag for the last 4 or 5 years. It’s held up great! I didn’t need all the bells and whistles of the player bag, and honestly found the dividers to be more of a pain to use. I sewed some PR skate sleeves into the varsity bag and it has been absolutely perfect for me Edited December 28, 2022 by Westside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstartxtodayx 340 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 I've never used the Conway & Banks but they seem way too overpriced for what they are to me. I've heard that the JRZ bags are the best you can get, they're simple and built to last and I'm pretty sure they make most of the bags for the pros and higher levels of hockey (there was one other brand I've heard as well but can't think of it, both are made in North America though). I picked up a Mix Hockey backpack style bag earlier this year and have been really happy so far since I like the backpack style, price wise they're not bad but only time will tell if it's really worth it.

Buzz_LightBeer 961 Report post Posted December 28, 2022 https://jrzglobalsports.com/hockey-bags/jrz-hockey-bag-h-851-bwb-h-851-bwb JRZ has in-stock bags that are great. Giant duffels, i believe with interior skate dividers on the ends. I think the pricing is in CDN which makes them about $76 USD. Well worth it IMO 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2082 Report post Posted January 21, 2023 The C&B look great but I haven't used one. I did have a Mammoth bag (I seem to recall I backed them on kickstarter?) and it was the best bag I've ever used. I just checked their website and they don't look even remotely as nice as they used to. What a shame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
