So with the ever-increasing amount of gear that goes with me to games I am in need of a holdall bag that can accommodate my Belt set up, Plate carrier as well as my helmet + all the other bits and bobs that go along with me for the day, Doesn't need to hold a weapon as they travel in their own bags. 

Thanks

 
Mental the amount of stuff some people bring to sites.

I used to lob everything in a peli case but that was a waste of cash, I now manage with a backpack.

However, would recommend a “Plano” box, very tough, inexpensive and have wheels…can cover them in slaps too!

 
This fits all my gear plate carrier belt rig holster and gas and bbs and the like perfectly and they will embriod your name and that aswell free. Also can be carried on your back.

I used to have a very similar Protec bag, had a little boot caddy in one end if I remember rightly. The problem with ANY holdall though is a lack of organisation, if there's one big carrying space shit just disappears!

I now have a First Tactical range bag which is smaller so I don't end up carrying as much shit I don't actually need and it has loads of organisers to keep things where I put them.

I've got a 5.11 range bag which carries all my hand guns,mags,radios and stuff like eyepro and tools. It also came with smaller tote bag which holds batteries,bbs and chrono etc. 

 
I use a Kombat Saxon 100L holdall. Lots of pockets and huge main comparment. The main compartment fits my boots, helmet, webbing/rig, magazines, lunch & spare clothes with room to spare. You can get a smaller 50L version if you don't need one that big.

If it's this one https://tactree.co.uk/511-range-ready-bag?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CjwKCAiA7IGcBhA8EiwAFfUDsW4lFf11B8tuHeN0zD1h_17rraW6Eub6N-ABd4xk1-4D9mYCNeQzsxoChRMQAvD_BwE then it's pretty much identical to the FT one I have! They're great!

In fact - this is the one I have https://www.military1st.co.uk/180000-060-first-tactical-recoil-range-bag-coyote.html

 
If you're looking for a cheaper option, I picked up one of the issue deployment bags off Ebay for next to nothing and it's great for carrying kit in (as you might expect). Boots, helmet, belt rig, etc.
Seconded. I liberated a couple from work and have never even come close to filling mine, even when carrying a second set of webbing for a mate

 
I don't know of a better value than an issue black holdall, assuming they're still made half decently since mine's really old.  Best things is unlike almost all other surplus 99.9% of people who've not been in won't know that it's military kit.  Nice advantage for any car parks in sight of a public road or those who don't drive.  The backpack straps aren't amazing compared to an actual backpack in terms of staying where you want them but they are really thoroughly padded which is surprising; did me well when travelling there and back on deployment when it was stuffed to bursting.

I used to fit my life into one of these when employed on Her Majesty’s Grey Funnel Line. Great bits of kit! 

 
I've used one of these for a couple of months:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264729488116?var=564547443320

Bloody rubbish really.  Thin material and weak zips that you have to be very careful with.  Probably too small for you anyhow.  Does the job for now then and extremely cheap.

Anyone any recommendations on make for a decent bag?  Sports type bag would be best.   I've a feeling that I'll need a new one soonish.

 
Solognac waterproof game bag 100L

These are actually blood proof for hauling deer carcasses/dead hookers. I keep a couple in the car boot. Along with duct tape and cable ties.

Simple, zip fastening with shoulder strap and give your kit reasonable weather protection for £20.

Or a large ALICE…… ??
