Using this boot bag is a breeze. First, unzip the wide double - zip top opening with the Velcro closure. Put your boots, whistle, socks, and any other rugby gear inside. The net end on one side allows air to move through, so your items don't get smelly. When you're done using it, just wipe it clean to keep it in good condition. Remember, since it's made of 100% polyester, it's quite durable, but try not to over - stuff it to avoid damaging the straps or the structure. Keep it in a dry place when not in use, and it'll serve you well for many rugby games.
