Backpack cover?

Hi,

I am looking for a cover for my backpack. The cover is made from a similar material to the rain cover but has a zip and a handle on it. People use them when putting the backpack on the aeroplane. They do this to protect the straps from being ripped off/damanged when they are in the aeroplanes and when the luggage handlers throw them on the carousel.

My girlfriend already has one for her bag, thats why i can describe it so well. Im now looking for one for my backpack but i have no idea what its called. Weve tried looking for the same cover as my girlfriends but we cant find it.

Its for a big 70-80 liter backpack. May one of you please help me by telling me what they are called?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I just used a large duffle bag.

I took my Osprey backpack on a flight to Atlanta fully loaded (without stove and fuel) and placed inside a large duffle bage that had a zipper.

The duffle bag was an inexpensive one I picked up from Academy.


Ooops, I just realize you were from UK and were asking what the bag is called. As Food said, here we refer to it as a duffle bag.

It's also called a pack duffel:

Hope the links help.

If these answers don't work for you, why not post a picture of the bag thing that your girl friend has?

It might be something that would have wide appeal.

Somebody might recognize it and let you know what it is called. A picture is worth 1,000 words, more or less.

Hey you can check out Bergman Luggage for more details. Since they provide wide range of options in luggage sets, backpacks and many other travel packing accessories, I hope you can get your stuff at Bergman Luggage

In 1980 I flew from Pennsylvania to California to work as a professional trail builder on the initial construction of the Pacific Crest Trail. I had a carry on bag and a check-through backpack B/C I would be camping when working.

To cover the backpack I just used a white canvas laundry bag with my name & address on it in permenant marker. Worked fine. A military surplus duffle bag would be good too.

smells like a spammer....

I have used a standard Army dufel bag to protect my large backpack (circa 7500 cu in) when flying. Worked like a charm. They can be had very cheaply in thrift stores.

Why, because they only posted once and it was to promote a product?
