Leon Paul Roll Bag Opinions

[Skach29]

Hi all

I've been looking for a new bag to carry gear and at most 4-5 epees. I had a bg bag but it had no wheels and the handles tore. Please tell me what you think of this bag. Its on this url: http://www.leonpaulusa.com/fencing/a..._Cases_44.html

and the title is this:

Wheelie bag 512WS with aluminium base, wheels and handle

Thanks in advance!

Wheelie bag 512WS with aluminium base

I have this bag, and it is really sturdy: the cloth is thick, zippers are industrial strength, the inner aluminum bottom plate gives a solid rectangular base, and there is an outer plate on the wheel side so you can go up curbs, ramps and stairs without scuffing the corners. There is a larger compartment for mask and uniforms, and a narrower one with an inside zip pouch for weapons and body cords. I think three or four epees fit well, but know that French grips go snug against the sides. There are three flat zipped compartments on the outside, but I tend not to use them at all, except at tournaments for keys, cards, and registration, and the LP flat rectangular tool kit. It transports with a nice balance, and the pull handle has a friendly feel. I actually got the one with the strip bag, but, except for Nationals, I ended up using that for storage for extra weapons.

Hope this helps. I had two different cheapie carry bags before this one, and I still use those for simple practice nights. But if you have long buildings, or big parking lots to cross, I believe you will like this bag. Good luck.

Thanks, Meteoric Iron

I use pistol grip so i should be ok for the fit, and i already have a strip bag. I thought of one other question though. does it tend to tip over when being rolled? I read reviews of some other bags that do. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: let this one die. I bought the bag
