Zuca bags

Hello everyone...My skating duffel is now stuffed to the gills and is seriously starting to hurt my shoulder so I was looking into Zuca bags. Does anyone have them? What do you like or dislike about them? Are they worth the money?

Thanks

I have one! I love it! It's really quiet and it's so cute! And, last week the rink was really, really crowded, so I just sat right on my zuca bag to put my skates on. The down side is that it really does not have a huge amount of space, and, if it's raining, the stuff in the outside pouches gets wet. I do like all of the little zippered pouches, though, and it has a nice net in the top to keep your towel and stuff. I hope this helps you make a decision!

I have one. It's nice, but it can be heavy to lift into the car trunk. I can put a lot of stuff in it, but it's all a matter of personal preference. I could probably put about the same amount of stuff in my old skating bag (a roll-aboard suitcase) but it died of old age, so I bought the Zuca bag "just because"

I have a Zuca bag, and am extremely pleased with it. It holds a lot of stuff, and I can sit on it if I need to. I also use it for non-skating vacations, it is very versatile.

Hi,
I bought mine just before I went to a competition in France. It was great in that whatever the lockerroom situation - or airport for that matter, there's always a place to sit. I carried mine aboard al the way to Paris, and it fit in the overhead. On the smaller planes it dosen't fit and has to be checked. this was a slight problem as the frame is on the outside and got scratched. Now however the sac is designed so the frame is covered, so this won't be a problem. There are also covers to fit over them for travel (I call them cozys). You can also get or make a cushion for the top. They are great in the rinks and their size means I don't over stuff them. A nice feature is that for $25-$35 you can order a new sac and have a different look.
