Tote Bag

[Frankybaby66]

Hi fellow wanderers,
I always put my backpack into hold luggage on the flight out (I have poles, and fly Ryan Air!). To protect the backpack I always put it, and my poles into a tote bag. The tote bag is lightweight and after the flight, packs into itself to something the size of an orange, so easy to stow in my backpack for the Camino itself.
Having survived 5 Caminos, the carrying strap stitching finally gave way on the way to the airport in Santiago earlier this year. I can't seem to source an exact replica, so wondered if anyone out there in Camino-Land had any recommendations as a replacement.
It must take a 44litre backpack ( I know, I know), and pack down small for the Camino itself.
Starting to plan next year's adventure . . .!
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Some forum Members have used these huge blue bags from Ikea and were happy with them for the purpose you are looking for. I see a few styles of them online, but have no first hand knowledge. They are inexpensive.

I've used cheap cloth laundry bags bought at a dollar store. You could reuse one to help prevent bedbugs from getting into your pack or, if you don't want to carry it, leave it in a laundromat and buy a new one in SdC at a china shop.

Have you considered having the strap repaired?
