Arriba bags vs Cobra bags

[Corabar Entertainment]

Has anybody used the Cobra padded bags? (Seen them on terralec (http://www.terralec.co.uk/flight_cases/padded_bags_and_covers/236_0c.html) when I was looking for arriba bags)

They're cheaper than the arriba, so I was wondering how the quality compared.

Saw them mysself I already use arriba for my pars . They look the same is it not just a rebranding?

Just found this info from terralec:-


November 2009 Sees the Launch of the New Cobra Range

Terralec are proud to announce the launch of the new Cobra Brand.

During the last year, the technical and buying teams at Terralec have commissioned a new range of products, designed specifically with their customers’ needs in mind, taking into account quality, ease of use and price.

The Cobra Brand is divided into three separate categories:

Cobra Case is a collection of flight cases and padded bags, some of which replace existing Terralec products, but there are also many new designs and improvements to provide useful solutions for entertainers on the move! Much attention to detail has been applied. The padded bags are thoughtfully designed, with internal straps, good quality zips and comfortable shoulder straps being just some of their outstanding features.

So it looks like they're pretty new and quite possibly exclusive to terralec (since they commissioned them).

Thinking we might give them a go...... :D

Practically identical. I used Arriba bags and ordered what I thought were Arriba from Terralec. When they came they were the Cobra bags but TBH are same quality etc. Would have no hesitation in purchasing again.

:thumbsup: Thanks for the confirmation!

(If they're more or less the same, it's really a no brainer as to which to buy! :D )

Yeah I like bags myself they are easier to transport and can be wedged in placed you couldnt get a case. Also of course when empty they can all be stored inside each other.

Nice one Angela - I use arriba, but after scanning the thread and your link I know where I'm going in the future - That's a huge difference price wise for practically the same product :D

I would buy one of each, Angela ... and have a play

They do look similar though

Have you bought some new lights? :p

I have all my lighting gear in the arriba bags and have not had any issues... looks a bit more pro when loading in and out!
