Any advise on decent rope bags? The hubby has this on his Xmas pressie list.So far he's made do with a friends hand me down but its seen better days.

IKEA bags are good if your on a budget

Blue ones 50p

Yellow ones free (apart for the criminal record if your caught nicking it)

Hi, I've used both Beal Folio and DMM Super Slacker ropebags. The prices out of a Snow + Rock catalogue are 25 quid and 30 quid respectivly (can't seem to find a pound button my keyboard, actually vanished) but prob less if you look around on t'inernet. Both are good and feel pretty tough, the Slacker can be used like a rope bucket and the Folio folds out into a mat type thing.

Cheers Ali I'll do some Froogling for best prices. It was a mat type thing he was after.

BTW IKEA bags make great boot bags & keep the car boot cleaner.

Cheers for the idea Annie

Looks like another trip to the Swedish giant soon as i'm feed up of hoovering the boot.

super slacker is black diamond and unzips big enough for a tarp too, other good one is metolius, but loads to choose from
for best prices dmm do a basic one with tarp at around 25 quid

I've got a millet (french millet not crappy high-street brand!) one (cant remember the model sorry) that folds out into a mat type but folds up into a rucksack with straps pluss enough room for your stickies and rack....great for summer evening cragging!

I use a £3.99 from the market type tool bag with rope handles, easily holds a 50 or 60 metre rope, rack, stickies and helmet

rope bag, I need a rope first.

B and Q do a "boot bag" that unzips into a decent sized tarp (a bit big, if anything), for a fiver...

Rope bag should include a tarp. DMM and Outdoor Designs bags I've seen looked reasonable.

I use a piece of proofed nylon, fastend with a couple of straps. Not so good for carrying, but cheap. And makes a good shelter when it rains...
