In need of a good gear bag. Recommendations?

desertcoyote19

I train only in taekwondo and presently, my gear includes a dobak and cloth sparring gear for legs/feet and hands. Doesn't take up too much space. However, I will be moving to a new dojang soon, and it looks like I'll have to switch to the foam style protection, plus a helmet. Any recommendations for a good bag that breathes well would be great.

I will post a link to mine later. It has a mesh top so the gear can dry

I have a zip top leather bag I picked up in Mexico 20 years ago - but I do have to wipe down my gear after user, before stuffing it in, or the smell could gag a pig.

It's large, it's sturdy as all get out, and it was cheap.. and it has held up incredibly well, looks basically the same as it did 20 years ago.

Here's one pretty much identical to mine.

I can't compare it to a vented bag, as I've never owned one - but if you're going for retro, and want something that will basically last forever, this will do it.

Fits my ALL of my gear with a little bit of room to spare for belt/uniform if need be. (We use ITF style gear so it takes up a lot of room, even though we spar WTF style).

I'm happy with it. The top can be zipped to be either full coverage, or just the rubber mesh, which I find invaluable because my gear stiiiiinks fierce if it doesn't breath and dry out.
