Rucksack Gig-Bags
Thursday, April 8, 2010
Dubbed the musician’s briefcase, these unique cases are a cross between a rucksack and a hardshell case.
Looking not unlike a small submarine, the Gig-Bag sports a fully zippered main compartment with EVA foam moulding (laminated layers with a styrofoam core), which benefits from being lightweight while at the same time offering excellent protection. To the front face, there is an accessory pocket with a couple of internal pocketed pouches that will hold anything from mouthpieces, to reeds, to straps. To the back of the bag, there is another large pocket that is ideal for storing music, name and address contact sleeve, a carrying handle and an adjustable rucksack harness with vulcanised non-slip shoulder grip pads and red reflectors. One problem – the zips aren’t waterproof!
