Hi all,

I'd appreciate any advice on selecting a backpack for a heavy dogi, hakama, belt and a few additional small articles (a laptop sleeve would be a big plus :-) ). I've been using a regular duffel-type gym bag, but it's not really commuter-friendly.

A question for folks that own Bujin's Dogi Pack - do you think this pack can hold a heavy dogi? My biggest concern is the volume necessary for the jacket - I use Tozando's double-layered ones, and they're pretty sizable and won't fold more than in half without some persuasion :-)

Thanks in advance!
Daniel
I have the Traveling Samurai, which is essentially a Dogi Pack with a weapons case built in. This pack carries two of my heavy weight Judo gi's no problem. There are two separate compartments, so I guess you could put a laptop in one of them, it would certainly fit, but wouldn't have all that much padding around it.
