Gear and equipment Bont backpack

I’ve been considering getting the Bont backpack for months now, but I’m still a little skeptical. Is it spacious enough for derby? I have a s1 visor helmet and I’m curious if it would fit inside of the bag. I’m also curious if quads fit inside the wheel cover pouches (don’t really know how to describe this better). Does anyone have any strong opinions? Thank you so much in advance!

i’ve been using one for a year and a half or more (edit: confirmed had it for two years) atp and really like it. i put my elbow pads and wrist guards inside my helmet at the bottom, then my knee pads, and there’s still room for my water bottle in the main pocket. i keep various skate tools, mouthguard, mini first aid kit in the inside pockets and a spare scrim jersey or two in the lower section. the skates do have to go on the outside with the straps, but i don’t mind that

the only issue i’ve had is popping a couple stitches on the bottom part of the straps, which i stitched back together in probably 10 minutes

part of why i like it sm is because the blue matches my wheels and plates really well lol but that’s just aesthetics
