You can use a soft Golf Travel Bag when taking your bogu with you on a trip.

In the past, the people at the check in counter were pretty cool about checking in the shinai bag without penalty.

However, Recently the airlines count the shinai bag as one piece of luggage. So on a recent business trip, I wanted to check in my roll-on, shinai case, and bogu bag, the airline wanted to charge me an extra $100. No Way. How the hell am I going to justify that on my expense report?

I now use a PING Travel Golf Bag. Mine is large enough to put in my bogu, keikogi and Hakama, and my bogu bag folded up. I then put the shinai case on top and zip the entire bag up. When I get to the destination, I take everything out and use the bogu bag.

The cool thing about the new versions is that some have compartments and storage areas to put other kendo or non-kendo items. Also, they have wheels so transporting your bogu is relatively easy.

Unfortunately, Mine is an old bag so I doesn't have wheels. So I have to lug that damn thing until I get to the hotel or destination.
