Merrick 0 #26 October 3, 2002 Quote"I just got a sports bag from town - £15 and it holds my rig, my ff suit, 2 helmets (including a z1) with side pockets for log book etc. and it's made out of cordura " Yup, I did the same thing, went to wal-mart and got the biggest most durrable bag they had (which is also codura). My rig (packed or unpacked), two jumpsuits, change of clothes, shoes, Z1, Log book & a bunch of other junk will all fit in it.

Zipper bag on each end and a large zipper bag on front. Comes with carry handles and two well padded shoulder straps. Best part is, it holds 2 rigs, 2 Jumpsuits and plenlty of spare "stuff". I am very happy with it.

It's just big enough to hold it all snug and I don't think it could offer better protection. I throw it in the trunk on the way out to the DZ, it Water Proof!, puncture proof etc. A friend of mine gave me the idea and straps could easily be attached to lug it around on your back. I can't quite get the helmet in but that's okay 'cause i wear it on my head :-) My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dterrick 0 #36 October 4, 2002 Samsonite makes a cool "gear bag" which is really intended to be a Backpack/carryon. The label says "COC126" "310" (circled) and "898 Samsonite Sports" if any of those numbers helps at your local luggagery. The bag is black cordura and has a 16 x 20 footprint, just big enough for my Racer. Two large pockets (10 x 15 x 5"deep) hold all the ancilleries including spare clothes and gear. $50 C$ ($30 US) shouldn't cost that many quid. BTW, the coolest thing is the backpack function - you can wear your gear like gear, even when it's "just gear" the Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RevJim 0 #37 October 4, 2002 Quotetell someone that you're fix'n to go Yep, he's a Texican, all right.
