What's the name of this "back pack"
With all the talk about travel bags and backpacks, I have a question.
I just noticed more and more of a very light cloth back that a lot of urban youths are using now. It's a simple cloth bag with a couple of ropes that serve as straps. It's very light, kind of like a small pillow case. You wear it like a backpack. It's perfect for a light day pack and can be folded and packed lightly into you regular bag. Is there a name for this kind of bag? I see a lot of sports companies with their names on them, such as Nike and Adidas. |

Is there a name for this kind of bag? I don't know the name for them, but I made myself one out of canvas (waterproofed with tent spray) after using a very poor quality one given away as a promotional item for a brand of potato crisps (it disintegrated in a few months). I made two changes: I put a zip in the top, and added a fabric tube down the side, which contains a strong cardboard tube. This serves two functions: it stops the thing from folding itself in half on my back, and it holds my electronic bagpipe chanter. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

I don't like it much, it feels like a laundry bag and provides no structure or support. Any item with a corner, I am going to feel it in my back. miguel -- Photos from 40 countries on 5 continents: http://travel.u.nu Latest photos: Malaysia; Thailand; Singapore; Spain; Morocco Airports of the world: http://airport.u.nu |

It's good for keeping a light jacket or a rain coat or a small umbrella. What I like is that it's easy to pack it up. miguel -- Photos from 40 countries on 5 continents: http://travel.u.nu Latest photos: Malaysia; Thailand; Singapore; Spain; Morocco Airports of the world: http://airport.u.nu |
