I am still on the search for the ultimate gear bag, and since my Calrucci cannot fit inside Mr. Finnerty's bucket, I'm still looking. I thought that I would take a peak at EBag's Mother Lode Wheeled Duffel, and color me impressed. On EBag's site they have a video on the features (try http://www.ebags.com...productid=70818 for more info, including a video). A lot of officals use this, there are several Hockey official's evaluations on the site, and a previous thread on bags said some MiLB umpires are using it. Frankly, the bag is much like a Force 3 Bag, with somewhat better material, and a better stiffening for the walls of the upper compartment than the Force 3 Bag has. They rate the bag as 29" x 17.25" x 15.5". the main advantage it has over the Force 3 bag is the inside pockets are much easier to use on the EBags item than the Force 3. The problems with the bag are one: It's not long or wide enough. If you have a hardshell protector, it more than likely won't fit in the bag. The telescoping handle is as nice as the new Diamond bag, It rolls very well, and the inside mesh pockets abound. the loaded bag also stands up on its own unlike any other bag I have used. The unique inside og ther bag material is interesting: unlike Black, the inside ofthe bag is the color of the outside panels, in my case I got the orange panels. they look great (in the photo below, the inside panels would be the blue color on the outside). the open bag is what mine looks like. I can get almost all my gesr in it, and in comparison to the Wilson, there is no contest, the Mother Lode is better. The Diamond and Force 3 bags, due to their extra size (at least length) is probabluy the better item FO rmost of us, and sadly is for me because of the size of the my equipment (big feet, long shins, hard shell protector. If you carry smaller sized equipment and limit the number of items you take to a game sight (or put spares in an extra bag) I would recommend it highly. In many ways this is a true piece of luggage more than an umpire's equipment bag. It's smaller size and better materials in construction make it an appealing bag for the right official. The cost is tricky: I got the bag for $125 with free shipping. today as I write the review the price its $144. Worth taking a look at! Other info: Weight:12 lbs Capacity:7691 cu. in.
