About cricket kit bags

Cricket kit bags carry bats, pads, helmets, gloves and clothing. Academies, school teams and sports stores order them in duffle, wheelie and backpack formats, often with team branding.

Academies usually order ahead of the season; confirm junior and senior size split.

About swimming bags

Swimming bags separate wet costumes and towels from dry clothes. Mesh panels let damp kit breathe, and waterproof linings stop water reaching the rest of the bag. Swim clubs and schools order them in club colours.

Swim clubs and schools usually order before summer coaching camps.
