pashnak Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hehe , I have a helmet back and will be getting a skibag for my DLT-19. My armor is a one piece chest and butt plate combo so I will be getting hold of a large size expandable suitcase and lining it with foam or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 If you're interested, I have on open thread in the Project Orders for a backpack cover. I use mine at events to avoid odd stares from people before I suit up. http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=10474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 For transport of armor I use a white marine cooler with wheels. Here's the reasons why.... 1. Fits a full TD set of armor and all accessories 2. Temp controlled so in the summer it won't warp and the winter won't crack. 3. It's on wheels so transport is simple...even stairs. 4. It's all white and with a couple decals looks like imperial issue. 5. Makes a perfect seat 6. Keeps food and beverages cool on non event days or while your gear is being worn. 7. Price point about $100 8. Wheels are removable and small lid opens to provide access to specific area. Available at Walmart, Benny's and marine stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The wheels flip from the shown position to an extended position. They are rubber and all terrain. Target $99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 you can also use a large tote and add wheels to it. i bought a large tote about $25.00 added some lawn mower wheels from the hardware store...$15 and painted it with camo paint...

nick.black Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I got myself a Kooga rugby team kit bag but also looked for a hockey goalie kit bag. It's like 90 or 100 litres I think and only cost me around £30 and I can get all my kit, helmet and repair kit in there. I then have a ski bag for my weapons, because I don't want to raise any suspicion, and also have a desert camo rucksack cover for my pack.
