Travel bag to replace kite bag recommendations

I normally use my 8 or 9m kite bag for non-kite travel. It's big enough, comfortable, etc. It's also dirty and sandy. Anyone have any good alternative recommendations? Ideally, in backpack form. Maybe something like a patagonia blackhole? (I'm guessing my Cabrinha 8 or 9m bag is roughly 100L)
Thanks for any recommendations!

Your kite bag isn't 100L, probably closer to 60-70. But any of the beefy duffle bags from TNF, Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, etc will work and hold up better than any kite bag could.

You can also use those vacuum storage bags to significantly reduce the volume of your kites for Travel. They have a one way valve after you seal the Zip-loc style opening. You can get them at bed bath and beyond type stores super cheap.

use caution with compressing kites too much.
lots of hard plastic parts rubbing against fabric and bladders

if you compress them enough you actually minimize rubbing.
