Dry-Lo Bags

[Astrosdawg07]

Is there a recommended setting for washing the Dry-Lo ball bags? I couldn't find anything on the tags. I'm tempted to wash them in cold water.

I was in cold water and dry on med high heat. Zero problems.

I use cold water and hang them to dry.

Are these bags better than Ump-Attire's Ultimates? How so? Thanks.

I have owned both. I used the ultimate ball bag all of last year during the spring and I liked them a lot. Great quality, the zipper pocket on the back is a great idea and was a wonder to have. I always was able to have a spare indicatior, keep a coin in there for those tournament games that needed a flip, and to put keys. The i had tried the Dry-lo's and Fell in love instantly, I was lucky enough to meet the umpire who first had them made, (the first dry-lo's were actully hand made by his grandmother) the one thing that the dry lo's have over the ulitimates is that they are bigger and easier to get your hand in and out of. The ultimate took some time to loosen up. Also the intiruer pockets are much bigger and deeper that the ultimate ball bags, and are able to hold many more balls, which makes it nice if you just want to go with one.

I agree. Cordova's thoughts mirror mine when it comes to these two brands of ball bags.

On the back of my new dry-los it says:

"100% Polyester Outer and Lining

Machine wash on warm - Do Not Bleach

Tumble Dry Medium - Do Not Ring

Iron Low and Front Only - Fry Cleaning Permitted"

I got them at Jimmy's school, $30 for a pair so I jumped on them.

I think Pete Reiser did a review on them on his blog and preferred the ultimates.

There are two generations of them. The first generation, Pete wasn't thrilled about. But they came out with the second generation a few months ago and Pete liked them a lot better.
