I was also looking for a light weight, strong bag for the kg reason and bought the large nylon sports bag from Ketut for only 70,000 Rp. You dont have to worry about tape and superglue and we just bought a padlock from a market stall. Originally I was going to go for the material Bali bag, but someone on here said to be careful about the handles ripping out and I dont think any amount of tape will stop that happening. We used ours for clothing only and packed chocker block it only weighed 9kg and the suitcase had the rest which ended up weighing 30kg. You just have to be careful you don't go above the weight limit for the suitcase, which is in the thirties maybe thirty two, but Im sure someone on here will know. Have fun!
