This is the go to correct?  Getting pretty tired of my Wilson

That's the one I'm told the MiLB and NCAA umpires use.  The 29" eBags Motherlode.

Great customer service for me! If any issues come up they’ve always replaced my bag free of charge. 

[Umpire43]

@eagle_12 that is the one. I use the etech version but that has been discontinued.

I swear by these, the Fūl Workhorse models, because they are cavernous inside, have a hard-plastic tub bottom chassis, and are half the cost of the Wilson, Force3, and eBags rolling duffles.

I’ve used mine as primary gear bag for 2 (now 6!) straight indie-pro League summer tours, soon to be a 3rd (now 7th!).

I’m now hesitant to buy one if I will have a cramp all my equipment like that in to it! Rather buy a Wilson or force 3 if they are bigger and have more room. I like to be organized and that will probably not work for me then.

Everything fits fine. No offense to catsbackr, but there are much better ways to pack that bag

LOL, if @The Ripper doesn't think he's going to have to cram his gear in....

, 

I've never had a bag I didn't have to pack it pretty tight.  Whatever, to each their own, this is the bottom part of my ebag.  The top is full of uniforms and such.  It works for me.  This is the way it came out of the back of my truck after a JUCO weekend.

My Wilson is pretty good, I have never really had to cram anything in and I pack the same things you probably do. So… No I never had to cram anything in and all my gear looks brand new because of it.

I pack mine to opposite.  Plate gear and shoes in the top. Base shoes and uniforms in the bottom.   Game day essentials in the top. Side picked hold misc stuff.  I really like the ebag

RIP ebags 

[johnnyg08]

It was a good run. I regret not grabbing one during one of their crazy sales.

[The Man in Blue]

Damn glad I got one just a few months ago . . .  I am loving it.  Far superior to any of the bags I have had.

Online speculation that Samsonite is just shutting the brand down and rolling product into their name, but those also go hand in hand with lots of complaining about how much eBags went downhill after Samsonite bought them.

RIP Ebags. My black Motherlode got a hole in it, They sent me a replacement one no cost. Glad I got the exchange when I did!

[Baseballer]

I have an Ebag Motherlode and love it. It's probably 6 years old and it holds up. Sad to see them go out of business. 

[wolfe_man]

Interestingly enough, I ordered two of the ML's during their $75 sale and I got two different sizes delivered.  I got the normal 32" one which was all I thought that they offered, but I also got a 36" too.  I'll use the shorter one when I air travel and will put the other one to work in my trunk where I can have extra gear/spares with me and space is not at a premium. 

Very nice bags and hope they last a long time.  I'm curious to see how/what happens if/when there's any warranty issues.  Will they replace these with Samsonite rollng duffel bags now since eBags brand is done?
