Default Kitbags!

(I'm not exactly where to plonk this, so it's here. Mods, if it's in the wrong place please shimmy it elsewhere.)

Well hey everyone, few weeks no see! Nice to be back.

So very recently I have found myself being thrown at a rate of knots into the world of motorcycle racing, at the moment as a Race Mechanic (AKA Pit Bitch) for a friend of mine, but with a view to actually racing in a year or so.
However, when I have been to race meets I've found that my current holdall is... well pretty useless. It's basically a shopping bag with ideas above it's station, a single big compartment into which everything is thrown and thus lost. Which means when I want something I have to go digging around, normally in the back of a dark van in the wee small hours looking for my combi tool and gloves.

So what I'm wondering is if anyone has any suggestions for small-to-medium sized holdalls with extra pockets on the outside/inside that would be suitable for a weekend's worth of clothes/gear/booze etc. Extra points go to those with working examples.



PS: Anyone at Snetterton on 3-5th Sept, don't be shy!

there quite pricey but I'm loving my dakine split roller. it's maybe a bit big for what your looking for but it cones in smaller sizes. it's great cos it splits in half and has lots of zipped off compartments etc...

Do a google search on "Tool Totes" , get some really nice bits of kit come up on that , click on images and have a nosey at whatever fits the bill and refine the search afterwards .

The one with a built in seat looked handy

i have a great Clavin Klein holdall, not for the name but cos its nade of super tought ripstop nylon stuff, is very light and has a few compartment s as well as 2 huge outside pockets.

Sadly ive had it a good few years so i dont know if you can even find it now. But when it comes to luggage there is so much choice, i personally find the big names to be the best quality as they last ages.
