No Errors NO E2 Catcher’s Bag Review
CatchersHome may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through the links on this page, at no extra cost to you. We only recommend gear we would put behind our own plate.
The No Errors NO E2 is the most-bought catcher’s bag in the sport, and the only one that warranties its wheels for three years. It is also bigger than most catchers expect, and that is a real trade rather than a rounding error. This review is built from No Errors’ published specifications and from what owners report, and we say plainly where the numbers disagree. Buy it if you are tired of replacing a smaller bag. If you are looking for a small to medium sized bag, please read about and purchase one of the other bags we’ve reviewed.

The problem this bag was built for
Ask any catcher what part of their bag failed first and you will get the same answer, every time, in every league. The wheels.
It goes in a predictable sequence. One wheel picks up a flat spot from sitting loaded in the garage all week. Then the axle starts to wander. Soon you are dragging a sixty-pound bag across a gravel lot on one working wheel and a corner of fabric. By the third tournament, there is a hole worn through the bottom panel where the bag has been scraping.
Nobody warranties that. Manufacturers cover stitching and zippers for a year. But wheels are usually excluded outright, because wheels are the part everybody knows will die.
No Errors built the NO E2 around that specific failure, and then did the thing nobody else would: put a three-year term on it in writing.
What you actually get
The NO E2 is a rolling duffel, and it is shaped unlike the other bags in the category. The Bownet Commander is 17 inches wide. The All-Star S7 Elite Roller is 17 by 14. But the NO E2 is a narrow 12 by 12 across a full 36 inches of length. In short, it gives up girth for length.
That geometry drives everything else about the bag. The expandable shin-guard pockets are the headline feature. The NO E2 features three side pockets, each running the entire 36-inch length of the bag. Each side pocket is 4 inches deep, and crucially, they widen — from 5 inches to 12 — so a pair of adult leg guards goes in with the knee savers still attached. Anybody who has spent five minutes in a parking lot unstrapping knee savers to make guards fit a pocket understands why that matters.
Nine pockets, and three of them are ventilated. Wet gear is the enemy of every catcher’s bag. After all, mildew works from inside the seams, where you can’no’t see it. Ventilated compartments only help if you open them at home. Still, a bag that gives you the option is ahead of one that does not.
An internal shelving system keeps the main compartment stacked. Otherwise everything settles into a single mass at the bottom. That is what makes 85 liters behave like more.
Heavy PVC on the base panel. This is the second thing that kills bags, and the NO E2 armors it.
FatBoy wheels is No Errors’ name for oversized wheels built to run on any surface, not only on smooth pavement. The name is marketing. The size is not. In practice, it is the difference between rolling through a gravel lot and lifting through one.

One spec conflict, stated plainly. No Errors lists three 34-inch bats. At least one retailer listing claims the bag takes four 36-inch bats. So we are printing the manufacturer’s number. A bag that fits four when you were promised three is a pleasant surprise. A bag that fits three when you were promised four ruins a Saturday. Assume three, and treat a fourth as a bonus.
Ten colorways, one bag
Teams have colors, and gear that clashes with the uniform bothers players more than anyone admits. The NO E2 comes in ten: Black, Graphite, Green, Light Blue, Maroon, Navy, Orange, Purple, Red, and Royal. Every bag in the row is the same bag — same pockets, same wheels, same warranty — so pick the one that matches the jersey.
What owners say
The NO E2 has been in the field long enough to have a real reputation rather than a launch-week one.
Rating: 4.7 stars on average. Volume: No Errors reports selling more than 100,000 of them. That is the company’s own figure rather than an independent audit. 100,000 sales puts this bag in more dugouts than anything else in the comparison.
What owners consistently praise:
- It holds far more than its narrow profile suggests, which is the shelving doing its job.
- The wheels roll smoothly on rough ground, and they keep rolling.
- Customer service replaces broken components, and owners report this happening even past the warranty window. That is worth more than a spec.
What owners consistently complain about:
- It is big. Not heavy necessarily, but long and visually larger than a typical catcher’s bag. Several owners were surprised on unboxing.
- It can go lopsided. One owner reports the bag leaning once leg guards with knee savers fill the expanded side pouch. In other words, the pocket that makes the bag special is the same pocket that unbalances it. AKA, Load one side and not the other, and it leans.
That second complaint has an easy fix, and it is worth saying out loud: split the load across two side pockets. There are three of them. Using one is a habit, not a requirement.
The objections, head-on
“It costs as much as a set of gear.”
It costs a band running from the low $200s to about $300, and that is real money. Here is the comparison that actually matters, though, and it is not bag-versus-gear.
A budget rolling bag runs a fraction of that and lasts a season, sometimes two. Replace it three times and you have spent NO E2 money without ever owning an NO E2. Meanwhile the gear inside is worth several hundred dollars. A chest protector, leg guards, a mask, a mitt — all of it spent those seasons riding in a bag with a worn-through bottom panel.
The bag is not competing with your gear budget. It is protecting it.
“Three years on the wheels is just marketing.”
It is marketing. It is also a manufacturing obligation, which is something marketing usually avoids.
Every brand in this category knows wheels fail. Bownet covers the Commander with a one-year limited warranty. All-Star, Mizuno, and Rawlings publish nothing wheel-specific at all. So No Errors is alone in writing a wheel guarantee. And companies do not write down terms on parts they expect to replace constantly.
“It’s too big.”
This one is fair, and it is the reason this review does not call the NO E2 the best bag for everybody.
The bag is 36 inches long. It stands tall, it takes dugout floor space, and a smaller catcher will find it unwieldy. So if your player is under about twelve, buy the Rawlings Gold Collection Wheeled instead. At 74 liters and 25 inches, it is the better fit, and it is not close.
“I want more room than 85 liters.”
You have options. Three bags in this category hold more. The All-Star S7 Elite Roller carries 140 liters, the Mizuno MX Equipment G2 carries 133, and the Bownet Commander carries 127.
The NO E2 is not the biggest bag. It is the most durable one with the best-organized side storage, and those are different claims.
Who should not buy the NO E2
Bus-travel players. A rigid 36-inch rolling bag is a poor traveling companion when the trip involves an overhead rack. An Easton E610CBP backpack solves that at 61 liters.
Catchers who haul team bats. Three bats is the ceiling here. If you carry six, the All-Star S7 Elite Roller exists for exactly that.
Youth catchers under about twelve. Buy a bag they can move alone. A bag a parent carries is a duffel with extra steps.
Anyone who wants fourteen pockets. The NO E2 gives you nine and does them well. But the Commander gives you fourteen, including a molded helmet case. If compartmentalizing is how your brain works, you will be happier there.
NO E2 vs Bownet Commander: the head-to-head
These two are the premium catcher’s bags people actually cross-shop, so here is the direct comparison.
| Spec | No Errors NO E2 | Bownet Commander |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 36 × 12 × 12 in. | 38 × 17 × 12 in. |
| Volume | 85 L | 127 L |
| Empty weight | Not published | 15 lb (published) |
| Pockets | 9, three ventilated | 14 |
| Helmet storage | Main compartment | Molded semi-hard case |
| Leg guards | Expandable pocket, fits knee savers | Dedicated side pocket |
| Bats | 3 × 34 in. | 3 |
| Interior | Shelving system | Removable shelving |
| Base | Heavy PVC panel | Molded case doubles as structure |
| Wheels | FatBoy, all-surface | Big Trax rubber tread |
| Warranty | 1 yr bag / 3 yr wheels | 1 yr limited |
| Track record | 100,000+ sold, 4.7 stars | Strong, smaller sample |
Buy the NO E2 if your leg guards live with knee savers attached, or if you have already replaced a set of wheels once. It also has the longest field record in the category.
Buy the Commander if you need 42 more liters and a molded case protecting your helmet. In short, if you would rather have fourteen assigned places than nine flexible ones.

Buy neither if the budget is tight and the season is short. A Rawlings Covert Duffel at 72 liters carries a full set for a fraction of the price. It has no wheels, no shelving, and no vented cleat compartment. Still, for one practice and one game a week, it is honestly enough.
Frequently asked questions
Does the NO E2 hold a full gear set?
Yes. The 85-liter main compartment and its shelving system take a chest protector, mask, helmet, and mitt. Then the three full-length side pockets handle leg guards and long items. Where it runs out is bats. Three 34-inch bats is the manufacturer’s figure, so a catcher hauling team lumber will want something larger.
Does it have a cleat compartment and wet-gear storage?
It has nine pockets, three of them ventilated specifically so damp items can dry rather than sour. Use one of the vented compartments for cleats, keep it unzipped at home, and the chest protector stops smelling like the outfield.
Are catcher’s bags waterproof?
Almost none are, and the NO E2 is no exception. It uses a moisture-wicking shell and a heavy PVC base panel. That handles wet grass, a rained-out lot, and a drive home with the bag in the truck bed. But sustained rain will eventually get in. A bag left open in a downpour fills with water regardless of the brand on the side.
How should I pack it so nothing gets damaged?
Helmet, mask, and cleats go lowest, closest to the wheels. That keeps the center of gravity down and stops the bag from fishtailing. Next, leg guards go in the side pockets, split across two of them rather than stacked in one. Stacking is what causes the lopsided lean owners report. Finally, open every zipper when you get home.
What is the No Errors NO E2 catcher’s bag?
The NO E2 is No Errors Sports’ flagship wheeled catcher’s equipment bag: a 36-inch rolling duffel with nine pockets, internal shelving, expandable full-length shin-guard pockets, oversized all-surface wheels, and a three-year wheel warranty. No Errors reports it as the best-selling catcher’s bag in baseball and softball.
How long does it last?
Owners report multiple seasons of tournament use. The company also replaces failed components readily, sometimes past the warranty term. The bottom panel and the wheels are the two parts that decide a rolling bag’s life. Both are the parts No Errors reinforced.
The final word
There is a particular kind of respect in a piece of equipment that is honest about what it is for. The NO E2 is not the largest catcher’s bag you can buy, and this review is not going to pretend otherwise. Three bags hold more.

What it is: the bag that solved the problem catchers actually complain about. The wheels are oversized and warrantied. The bottom is armored. The leg-guard pockets swallow knee savers without an argument. Over 100,000 catchers have already voted for it, and the ones who broke something report the company fixing it.
Buy it if you are tired of replacing bags. Buy the Commander if you need the volume and the compartments. Buy the Covert if the season is short and the budget is real.
Then load it, split the leg guards across two pockets, and go do the hardest job on the field.
Sweat the gear and never fear.
