    Bannatyne hybrid bag

    Does anyone play one of these. I just bought one and was wondering what pipers here might have to say.

    Then again, maybe I shoulda asked the question before I hit "submit payment" on PayPal...

    Anyway, any thoughts?

    I've seen them, but don't own one. It's a nice sturdy bag. If this is your first replacement bag, make sure you're ordering based on the dimensions and not what the manufacture calls size. Size is what a manufacturer calls it and is not standardized.

    I had one on a set of Kintails I bought. It was the large size, and I found it too big to be comfortable. I also had a problem with air efficiency with the pipes, turned out that the bag had partially delaminated, and was leaking through the skin. Not horribly, but enough to have an effect. I don't know how old the bag was, or whether or not that's a common problem with the hybrid bags, just my experience. I replaced it with a Gannaway, and have been well pleased.
    All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.

    I too enjoy Gannaway's. They're on all my pipes. I've found all their advertising to be descriptions of their product, particularly ease of installation.
