To follow up to the previous review, the Hockey Shop contacted me and have resolved the issue by exchanging for another bag. (Vaughn VE8 Wheeled goalie bag).
The review for the Bauer bag still stands - avoid.
Great service from the hockey shop though.
V happy with the new Vaughn bag.
I purchased this to replace a perfectly good player bag as it was big enough to hold all gear including pads.
It's first outing was to a 3 day tournament. After the second day a tear appeared in the side. This wasn't from skates as these, complete with skate guard adjournment were in the end pocket designed for skates away from where the tear occurred.
On the 3rd day another 2 holes appeared.
The PVC coated bottom section of this bag and zipped opening are incredibly thin and does tear easily.
The description mentions "Dura Hex ripstop polyester fabric with heavy duty polyester accents; HD
weatherproof, scratch-resistant and PVC-coated bottom"
Well "ripstop" does not work.
The "Heavy Duty Polyester Accents" are not remotely "Heavy Duty"
It does appear to be weatherproof - will it would be if there weren't hole in it already.
"Scratch resistant and PVC coated bottom" - This is pretty scratched up already.
I'm disappointed Bauer, who's other goalie gear and player gear we have, put their name to such a shoddy product.
Also disappointed not to have had a response from The Hockey Shop who are normally great at customer service.
Fast shipping. Easy returns. Expert advice.
Hockey's best. Delivered to your door.
