About the product
The equipment bag in black from Shinka Combat is built for kit that should NOT be shut in. Both sides are mesh, so the air passes right through the bag - and that is the whole point: gloves, shin guards and headgear packed damp into a closed bag smell after a few days, while the same kit in an open bag dries on the way. The bag is cylindrical, 67 centimetres high and 29 centimetres in diameter, and closes with a drawstring at the top. There are three zip pockets - two on the front for valuables and one at the bottom, intended for the wet towel - plus a mesh pocket on the side for the water bottle. The strap is adjustable and worn across the body. The material is hard-wearing nylon.

Questions and answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Why should a bag be open at the sides?
Because martial arts kit gets wet inside, and wet foam in a closed bag starts to smell within a few days. Mesh lets the air through, so gloves, shin guards and headgear dry while you drive home instead of fermenting in the dark. On the other hand the bag does not protect against rain - that is a deliberate trade-off. If the kit needs to be kept dry from the outside, use an ordinary bag and hang the kit up to air at home instead.
-
What is it good for besides transport?
It is made to take into the training hall and stand next to the mat, so the kit is right at hand instead of lying in the changing room. It is tall and narrow - 67 centimetres high and 29 in diameter - so it takes up little floor space and stands upright. Many also use it as the bag the kit simply lives in between sessions, precisely because it gets air while it stands there.
-
Can the bag be embroidered or printed with a name or club logo?
Yes, we embroider and print in our own workshop. Allow 5 to 7 working days on top of the normal delivery time, and up to 10 to 14 working days in the busy weeks around the start of the season. A club logo requires that the club has approved it and that we have the logo as an embroidery file - check under add-ons whether your club is already set up, and otherwise ask the club's coach. Note one condition: a bag with your name on it cannot be exchanged or returned, as it cannot be resold. If, on the other hand, something is wrong with the embroidery or the bag itself, that is a warranty claim - so call us.

How do I keep the bag from smelling?
Smell comes from wet clothes left lying, not from the bag itself. Take the wet clothes out the same day, and leave the bag open until it is dry inside. If it has happened, most polyester bags can be wiped inside with a cloth and a little mild soapy water and then aired - they should not go in the washing machine, as that ruins both the coating and the seams. A few sheets of newspaper overnight draw out the rest of the moisture.
