Been using Datsusara for about 15 years now. Only bags I use. I have a duffle and a couple backpacks. First one I got 15 years ago is still going strong

Datsusara is the answer. Bombproof

The datsusara backpack is a classic for a reason. I got one a few months ago and absolutely love it.

For a long time I had a datsusara bag that I was quite fond of. Seems like it'd work in your circumstance. https://www.dsgear.com/collections/backpacks

+1 for Eosin Panther. If you like the faded look, Datsuara is a good choice.

Favorite gi is the Isami double weave, I have like 4-5 of them. Runner up would be the older Koral MKM. I also like my older Shoyorolls, Atama Mundial 5 and 9, and datsusara hemp gis.

I'm still a student on a budget so all the gis I got are second hand, except for one a black datsusara that I was gifted from a training partner when I was visiting my cousin in the US and dropping in at a gym in her town. It's the most expensive piece of clothing I own and I like it a lot. It is an A1 and most of what I wear is A2 so the datsusara is an inch too short at the sleeves but otherwise very comfortable. When I'm not a student anymore and have some money I'll plan to buy an A2 probably a white one.

I've had gis from Datsusara, Moya, Hayabusa, Fuji, Origin, Atama. Favorite is Datsusara's hemp gi. Looks great, feels great, fit great, durable. Followed by Atama Mundial 10

Really thin gis may not last you very long. I've not tried Gold but if I ever can train again I may - I qualify for their 35% discount and I'm only just over the height / weight chart on their A3H; if the legs actually fit right they'll be the first. Anyway, Fuji Suparaito / Submit Everyone A5 top and A6 leggings was what I wore to my first tournament and it served me pretty well. Thinnest I have currently would be a tie between a company called Performance Fight Gear (ebay seller) top or Tatami Original v2 top. Durability is about average - starting to wear out even though I mainly only used them when it was extremely hot. Feel-wise, so far I'd say a gold weave from Inverted Gear, or Datsusara hemp. I only wear the tops because they only sell up to size A5, but they're probably the most comfortable I've found so far.
