Boot + helmet bag recommendations?

I ride more than one place so I keep my boots and helmet with me. I’d really like to consolidate them into one bag, ideally with a little extra space for gloves/crop/backup sunblock /small odds and ends, that can easily go from house to car to barn.

I’ve looked at the big sites like Dover but there’s probably a lot more out there I don’t know about.

I’m sure you could find an equestrian bag for this that will cost $$. But you could also go to REI (or a similiar sporting goods store) and get a small to mid-size duffel. If you then put your boots in a sturdy trash bag before putting them in the duffel, everything will stay clean.

The LeMieux ProSport bag (if you can find it - seems to be out of stock a lot of places) is awesome. Fits a wide brim and tall boots with some extra space. Not sure about other pockets or straps as I don’t personally have it but a barn mate does. It seems to be durable!

I think you just need to buy a second helmet and pair of boots. Leave it at the barn. And come ride more often. Easy solution. LOL.

I schlepp boots, helmet, air vest and saddle between barns.

Helmet, air vest in fabric bag from store, purse, and miscellaneous items go in a Nobel Equestrian backpack that I also use at shows. Boots go in connected boot bags. Backpack goes on back, boots go over shoulder, and I carry saddle. Sometimes hat and vest both end up in the vest’s bag and I carry that separately as the backpack goes with me almost always when I leave the house.

Depends how tall/fancy your boots are, but I put everything in a backpack with a helmet/ball compartment in the front.

The LeMieux bag mentioned is one of the few I’ve seen that has separate compartments for a helmet and long boots (with a divider between the boots). It also has a side pocket that can carry a whip. I put my gloves in the helmet compartment.
