This. I use my old parachute gear bag. Its thin, but very tough material with a long zip that makes getting the backpack in quite easy...the handles are part of two webbing loops stitched around the bag and thus will never 'tear off"... It folds up very small and is light to boot. I'm sure there are many duffle bags that are similar..
