Cost of goalie equipment

The goalie is not running so no air flow and chances are they will be on turf and that can run 10 or 15 degrees warmer than the outside temperature and black helmets hold the heat. All black helmets look awesome but can kind of suck on turf and in the direct sun light.

As goalie Dad I did a lot of research on black vs white helmets. I can tell you, the black helmet is not in any way more dangerous or "hotter" than a white helmet. They do not "hold the heat". These helmets are designed for air flow.

Any recommendations for a good bag to hold all this stuff--preferably something a younger girl can handle easily on her own?
