Expert Review and  Insights

This Mitre bag is the definition of 'does what it says on the tin'. It's not a high-tech marvel, but a brilliantly simple and  effective solution for any team manager. Its sheer volume is its biggest asset, easily handling a full squad's kit. For pub teams or school clubs who need a practical way to manage gear without a hefty price tag, it's an absolute must-have.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The bag’s massive capacity is fantastic for storing bulky items like kits and  balls.
  • Con: The polythene build isn't designed for carrying sharp or very heavy training gear.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Railway Arms FC, a pub team based in Cardiff, was constantly struggling with kit management. Their gear was stored in a mix of bin bags and  old boxes in the pub's damp cellar, leading to lost items and  frantic searches before every match. They needed a simple, uniform solution to professionalise their setup.

"Honestly, it’s such a simple bit of kit but it has made my life as manager so much easier. We bought three – one for home kits, one for away, and  one for balls and  training gear. Everything is now clean, dry, and  in one place. No more missing socks on a Sunday morning!"

Robert Green – Team Manager, The Railway Arms FC

Since implementing the bags, the club has reduced its pre-match prep time by over 20% and  has not lost a single piece of kit all season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting It Ready

  • Unfold the bag fully upon arrival to let it air out.
  • Run the zip back and  forth once to ensure it moves freely.
  • Use a permanent marker to label the bag with your team name or kit type for easy identification.
  • Avoid storing sharp objects like metal studs or track spikes directly inside without protection.

Keeping It Going

  • To clean, simply wipe the inside and  outside with a damp cloth and  mild soap.
  • Ensure the bag is completely dry before folding and  storing it to prevent mildew.
  • Don’t overstuff the bag to the point of straining the zip.
  • Store away from direct sunlight for long periods to maintain the material's integrity.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Equipment Bag

Not sure which bag is right for your crew? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match for your needs.

Consider Capacity

How much gear do you really have? Tally up your kits, balls, and  bibs. It's always better to have a little extra room than not enough.

Material Matters

Where will you store it? For damp cellars or sheds, a water-resistant material like polythene is ideal. For heavy-duty travel, you might need tougher canvas.

Closure System

A full-length zip, like the one on the GT888, offers the best protection and  ensures nothing falls out during transit, which is a big plus over simple drawstring bags.

Portability

Think about who will be carrying the bag. A lightweight design with a simple handle is perfect for quickly moving gear from the car to the changing rooms.

Easy Identification

If you have multiple kits (home, away, training), choose a bag that’s either see-through or easy to label. It saves a huge amount of time on match day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many full adult football kits can this bag hold?

A: The Mitre Essentials GT888 is designed as a large duffle bag for sports teams and  can comfortably hold around 15-16 full outfield player kits (shirts, shorts, socks).

Q: Is the bag fully waterproof?

A: It is highly water-resistant. The polythene material and  zip will protect contents from rain showers and  damp surfaces, but it is not designed to be fully submerged in water.

Q: Can I use it to store footballs or other bulky equipment?

A: Absolutely. It's an extra large equipment holdall, making it perfect for storing training balls, cones, and  bibs alongside your kits.

Q: Is the material transparent enough to see the contents?

A: The white polythene is translucent, meaning you can easily distinguish the colour of the kit inside without having to open the bag.

Q: Can I write my team's name on the bag?

A: Yes, using a permanent marker pen on the polythene surface works very well for labelling.

Q: How strong is the rope handle?

A: The handle is designed to comfortably support the weight of a full load of team kits. We advise against loading it with excessively heavy items like gym weights.

Q: Are there any internal pockets or dividers?

A: No, this team kit storage bag features one large main compartment to maximise the usable space for bulky items.

Q: How should I clean the bag if it gets muddy?

A: A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is all that's needed. The polythene surface is non-absorbent and  very easy to clean.

Why Polythene Makes for Smarter Storage

You might see 'polythene' and  think of a simple plastic bag, but for kit storage, it’s a deliberate and  clever choice. Unlike heavy canvas or nylon, polythene is incredibly lightweight, so you're only carrying the weight of your gear, not the bag itself. More importantly, it's non-porous, creating a brilliant barrier against the two things that ruin sports kits: dust and  damp.

Think of it like a purpose-built dry-bag for your team's gear. While a canvas bag might get damp and  musty in a cold changing room or car boot, this Mitre GT888 bulk kit bag keeps moisture out, ensuring your kit is always fresh, dry, and  ready for the whistle. It’s the practical choice for the realities of grassroots sport.
