Do you guys with transpacks have the Transpack Ice or the larger one intended for rollerblades and larger skates?
I have an Ice, along with a lot of kids at my rink. It's beginning to rival Zuca in popularity. But I don't find it to be particularly roomy. Mine currently has my skates, my jacket, 3 pairs of knit gloves, a hand towel for drying my skates, two pairs of soakers, one pair hard guards, arm warmers, leg warmers and then my music, band-aids and other odds and ends in the small inside pocket.
Now that I write all that out, it seems like quite a bit, but that feels like the bare minimum I'd want to carry around on a regular basis.
I often change clothes at the rink or at work before leaving for the rink, but I have to use a separate duffel for that. My duffel is one I was given at a competition, and I also use it as my gym bag.
I used to use my Jansport backpack from college for skating, but I wanted something I could fit my skates into without feeling like I was stuffing them in there (and potentially breaking them down a little faster.) I also wanted to protect them from rain, especially since my rink doesn't have a parking lot and I often walk a block or more to get there.
