Favorite Gear Bag

What is your favorite gear bag? I’m looking for something that can take my shoes, helmet, any pads, and maybe some tools. Any recommendations?

Albek SKYTRAIL 51 DUFFEL 

Always have it packed ready to go, can’t fault it. 

Also take a Fox Clothing Utility Changing Mat to change on and put any wet clothes in.

I'm still using a basic canvas tote bag for everyday use. It is sometimes not quite big enough and I wind up grabbing a second tote/grocery bag  A pal has been very happy with Thule Round Trip bag and I have come close to buying one several times. It looks well thought out and of decent quality.

My family live out of our Cat 5 bags. Yes it's designed more for road / tri but there's enough space for mountain bike gear with some judicious packing.  Easy to visually check you have all of the vitals every time.

And when you have 3 of them they stack nicely in the trunk / truck bed....

I have the new 70l Thule bag, real good! Highly recommend. Motocross gear bags are worth looking into as well. They tend to be cheaper and bigger, but always cater for a fullface better than most mtb stuff.

I'm using a milk crate currently but I've always eyeballed this.  Looks like a pretty good bag for the money.  They also run sells pretty often.

I just throw clothes in an appropriately sized duffel, and use a clear, snap-latch Sterilite bin for bike parts / gear.  Clear is nice so you can see where to find stuff.  If I'm going to ride somewhere I expect mud, I might bring a second bag for stripping off dirty clothes into, and/or a couple of towels to protect the seats of my truck.

My regular bag is just a laundry bag.  It’s ventilated.  Unless it’s a wet day I literally just take off my pads throw em in the bag and take em out of the bag next time I ride.  Been using it for sports equipment for 20 years.

For air travel I have a sensus backpack and like it.  Can get all my gear plus some nicnacs in there and been able to carry it on.  (I actually pack the laundry bag so I can use the backpack for regular use once I land).

I've been really happy with the Thule round trip bike gear bag. Space for all of my stuff and then some. I was using a tote bin, but this is easier to keep organized.
