Re: Dogi backpack
This whole thing has got me to thinking more on this topic....curse you Daniel!
At a recent seminar, someone arrived with one of those small, MLC (maximum legal carry-on) rolling suitcases; normally, I think those things are, to be polite and oversimplify, silly for urban use, and even in their intended environments (airports, hotels, etc) transitioning to and from escalators, stairs, loading and unloading areas and vehicles they tend to get very clumsy. I am talking about the smaller, lighter bags, clearly wheels for larger & heavier bags rule.
However, seeing how well it worked for him in the changing room, I was impressed; rigid sides, a whole side that zips open and folds away, and the contents are easily accessible.
If I could find one without those silly wheels and only had the pack straps, I would get one of those.
Also to note, and maybe it is just me, but whenever I transport my hakama in a backpack, sandwiched in there tightly with the gi, it inevitably ends up getting mushed as everything settles to the bottom. Not sure there is a way around that....
