What is a good racquet bag for international travel?

[onehandbh]

Any recommendations on a good racquet bag for international travel? It would also serve as my regular racquet bag for local tennis.. Just needs to hold 3 racquets max as I never bring more than 3 racquets when I play tennis.

Things that are important:

• one that has some padding to protect racquets (will be checked in)
• I would probably just bring 1 or 2 racquets.
  
• has heat/thermal protection? (does this even make a difference?)
  
• Not too heavy or bulky because I may have luggaget limits and also other non-tennis bags to carry with me

Finally looking to replace my old, beat up Wilson bag.

I am also looking for a single racquet tennis case for when I want to travel light.

I am also considering using a rifle case, but I don't to get gunned down by a trigger-happy 5-oh or gun-toting American.

Maybe if I put some Hello Kitty stickers or patches on it, it might make it safer to use.

Just got my wife an adidas tennis backpack. Padded for 2 racquets to carry on. Shoe pocket etc.

That sounds pretty good, but I need something that I can check in and covers and protects the whole racquet.

My carry on is already a backpack filled with stuff I can't checkin.

I found this post to be useful when doing a bit of research on the same topic:

The Yonex backpack?

Violin case?

Maybe a little bigger but you could check out the new Tecnifibre bag. It’s modular inside so you could also create little compartments to pack in some additional items. There’s also a video on the web from technifibre that shows some of the functionality

My carry-on is a non-tennis backpack. I can't count on carrying on my racquet because some international flights do not allow tennis racquets as carryon.
