I am looking for ideas on a duffel bag to carry my helmet, gloves, chipping hammer, welpers, etc. I get the opportunity to go to various vendors and customers facilities and would like a good universal bag to carry my stuff in. What I do not want is a Miller or Lincoln branded bag. I will be going to Lincoln next week and do not want to carry a Miller bag in. And I deal with Miller and do not want a Lincoln bag. Does anyone have suggestions or can get pictures up of what you use? Keep in mind I want a professional look, no 5 gallon buckets :lol:

Look at soft-side coolers. Well padded, so good protection for your hood, and most have external pouches in varying sizes for small tools. A good detachable padded shoulder strap is a plus.

Wal-mart and Target will have them, but you'll get a better selection from Cabela's, Bass Pro, Academy, etc.

You can get a craftsman tool bag for under 20 bucks from sears. Thats what I use, more than enough room for everything but my jacket.
Signature? Who needs a F***ing signature?

I have a Lincoln duffel bag from when I went to school there and a plain black duffel that is similar. If I was in the market though this is what I would be going with

For a neutral duffel this might work

Edit: link fixed had them both going to the same place

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

Thanks for everyones help on this one. I looked into all those options. I will say there were a few bags I never considered. I looked at the cooler bags and liked them. I decided on cheap and clean on this one. This bag was from Wal-Mart and was only $15. I have two helmets in there, one with the headgear off of it. I have everything I will need to go to my demos nest week. Thanks again everyone.

It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!

That's almost funny except you guys voted for the dimwit ! - lucky no one told him there was a " red button" thingy he was allowed to play with ! I don't follow politics much - but I guess your regretting voting for a " what's the proper word here " - we never had one of them for prime minister - but we've had a woman in charge - hard to say which was worse !
