I am looking for a large gear bag. Approx 36x14x14". Pockets at each end that can hold boots. Center area big enough for helmet, jacket, bibs, and extras. I really don't care if it has wheels. Most of what I am seeing out there is either cheap or to small. I want a bag big enough that "all" of someone's gear will fit in it. Like maybe the Wife's!!!! Any leads are appreciated!!
Large gear bag!!!

Get a big plastic tote. That's what I use. Everything stays dry. Lid locks on. I also run some duct tape around it just in case.
doo,
I have a BRP Ski Doo brand, but all mfr's sell them. I would think there are non-brand specifics out there too. Mine is as you describe, boots go in one end, helmet in the other, bibs, gloves, jacket in the middle section.
Probably the only drawback is with all that gear it's kind of clumsy and heavy to handle through doorways, stairs, etc.
Should also mention they're convenient at the end of the season once everything is washed and cleaned. I store all the gear in this bag, out of sight and all together in the same place.
It's very durable, I've had it for a few years now and use it on every trip. Not sure what it cost as it was a gift from my wife.

Ditto everything that Gary in Neenah said with respect to their use, except that I use the Klim bag http://www.klimusa.com/product/Team-Gear-Bag,255,17.htm
Very happy with it.

I've been using this for 2 years and love it. Has removable dividers, tons of pockets and is super tough. It's made two trips to Colorado and soon a trip to Idaho and it has withstood the airlines.

I've always used a large hockey equipment bag. They work great. Mine has an extendable handle on one end with wheels on the other end, so you can pull it around like regular luggage.
Go to your local sports store, and pick up a hockey bag. I use my ITEC bag from my playing days. Side pockets on each end with a few other storage spots aside from the main compartment. It fits all my clothes. Base, mid and outer layers, street clothes, boots, gear, etc. Only leaves me with my helment bag, and tools!
Missed that post!! haha. X2
Klim has a couple here http://www.klimusa.com/catalog/Bags,17.htm .
I bought one (Team Gear bag)two years ago at Haydays, it holds all my gear plus my clothes for the week. I do pack light and bring just the essentials. My old bag was a Poalris gera bag, that too was large enough to pack all my gear and clothes.

I got a gear bag from Gander Mountain a couple years ago for $20! It holds all my stuff, boots, helmet, bibs, etc and I am not a small person. I think I have even fit regular clothes in it for short weekend trips. It is not as heavy duty as some of the pricey ones but I haven't had any problems with it. If I do, I got several years use out of it and it cost $20. It has a main area, two end pockets that will fit boots, and a small zippered pocket on the outside for maps, etc.

I also have a couple of the Gander Mountain bags also...they have held up well to several years of abuse.

I agree - hockey equipment bags are a logical choice - and they are relatively cheap.
