From a catcher's dad:  those back-pack bags are cool, son had a catcher design when he was smaller that fit all his equipment and the 2 bats.  Now that he is a full size kid, his equipment probably would not fit, his school provides the big wilson roller bag for catchers. 

 

I did see the Georgia College and State University team a couple weeks ago had the back-pack versions.

 

If it was me, I would just wait until the first practice and see what the majority of other kids had.  I do think it is a cool look with the backpack and the bats sticking out though.

While on the travel team (11U - 16U) , my son was the primary catcher so we always bought the biggest duffle type bags we could find.  They never seemed to last more than a couple of seasons no matter which one I bought.  The last year he played catcher was his sophomore year - 1st year he made varsity.

 

Subsequent years coach moved him to 3B (Junior yr) and then 1B (Senior yr) so he really didn't need all the catcher gear.  He still took it "just in case" as he was the backup catcher - actually had a better arm than the kid that coach put in as catcher, but my son had excellent fielding skills as well so coach asked him to move to the infield.

 

Anyway, he's now at a DII JUCO playing 1B.  Told me he'd like the backpack type bag since really all he needed to carry was his glove(s), bats and other assorted stuff.  Doesn't need a big bag anymore.  Except for when he plays legion one more time - legion coach likes him at catcher.

 

I think it really depends on what gear the player needs to carry.  Catcher's will always need the big bags to carry all the required gear.   Any other position player doesn't really need the big bags and it comes down to a matter of personal preference.  FWIW - about 1/3 to 1/2 of his HS team had the backpack type bags.

Must be a team thing. All the boys on my sons HS team carry small duffle bags except the catchers.

Son uses a roller bag.  Even though he's not a catcher, he has lot's of stuff.  3 bats, 4 gloves (primary glove, back-up glove, 1st base, catcher's mitt), helmet, shoes, couple pairs of batting gloves, etc.  Make sure you buy a bag with quality zippers.  They are the first to go.  He has a Rawlings now.  Probably the best bag he's had.

No experience with this brand.  We're also looking for a new bag for my 2018.  Son really beats them up.

Looking at the website:  I like the extra room compartments, tank like wheels and heavy duty zippers.  They look solid.  Sorry unable to assist but please let me know how they work out.

Does anyone know if the No Errors baseball bat bags are a good pick I bought one they seem really good but need about 12 more...  Just seeing if anyone has used them in the past before I buy a dozen!! ..  Here is their website noerrors.com.  

My son had one, it held up well.  The other three people that we knew that had them had major trouble with the zippers breaking.

Son didn't like it because it was SOOOO huge he could fit in it himself which meant he kept loosing things because it was just SOOO huge!  Has since went to a small Duffel he could carry and a bat-pack.

For the VERY high price my vote would be no, do not order a dozen. If you are talking about older kids go with the duffel/bat pack option.  If you are talking younger kids the Boombah catchers bag and Mizzuno Samurai have a good amount of space for less than 1/2 the price of the No Errors bag. .

The no errors can carry all the gaer and then some but it has some design flaws especially at the list price, I bought one at closeout for $100 so it was worth it. If you use the side pouch for the leg guards, you must balance the weight in the opposite pouches otherwise the bag will drag on the leg guard side. The bat compartment zipper tore at the seam, but my kid carries 5 bats (he also plays a wood bat only league). The fence hook broke off too. The good news we got a replacement after a half season use and the bat compartment zipper also tore at the seam after 2 weeks on the replacement.  My kid carries the following in the bag:

Helmet, 3 gloves, catchers set, cleats, turf shoes, 5 bats, all the evoshield accessories, towel, 2 batting gloves, rosin, sunglasses.

Cool thanks...  Yes the kids are in that crossover stage of going from backpacks to wheeled bat bags.  Some of the kids had the bat bag backpacks in the past and the vote is split....Ughh A few of them said  Boombah only held up barely 2 seasons.  Im going to beat this bag up a bit and put it to the test the next few weeks.  Also, some parents are not interested in Mizuno cuz its an Asian product.  Baseball was easier when i was a kid!!  I'll report bag how it stands up.  Thanks so much for your thoughts this helps!!

Expecting any youth bag to hold up more than 2 seasons is dreaming.  They are rained on, stepped on, drug through gravel, dirt, and other questionable areas. The no Errors bag only held up 2 seasons and that I considered to be good.  Teams change, team colors change...etc. Get the Boombah bags for the catcher...but those HUGE boombah bat packs are WAY over the top, they look more like campers gear!  A normal Demarini bag does fairly well for bat-packs.

All the boys in my family (including my husband) play golf.  Including the baseball playing son.  I hit the obligatory bucket of balls about once a year.  How I can sit and watch baseball for ~4 hours sometime 5x/week but get board with golf on about the 8th hole is beyond me.

Boombah makes a great regular duffle that comes in 3 sizes.  The biggest size is only around $25 and is huge.  They have a ton of colors and cheap enough to get a couple if you are on different teams. My sons haven't worn them out in a couple of years of use, they usually wreck bag zippers. My guys don't play C but they carry the biggest Boombah duffle and it it plenty of room for their, helmet, gloves for various positions, and a few bats.

Side Note: I really dislike the look of backpacks and rolling bags.

Thanks,  I im going over there today because there so close and bringing the No errors bag with to compare

If you want to compare why don't you BUY a Boombah bag and compare at home, then return the one you don't like.  Isn't it kind of rude to bring a competitors product into their headquarters to "compare"?

Also, might want to set guidelines before you start comparing.  One bag is literally twice as much as the other, if the no-errors bag is only 25% better in certain areas that should count too.
