We have two Jimmy Hoffa bags. They are great starter bags; lots of room for ALL of your stuff, rugged enough to last several seasons. Reasonably priced. We graduate our fencers from that to an SKB or the BG knockoff of the Ulhmann jumbo roller bag.

They are big enough to carry 10 weapons I suspect, not 20. You wouldn't get much in them besides the weapons. For a single fencer, they really do handle 3 or 4 weapons, mask, shoes, cord, full uniform, tool box, water bottle and a few personal items.

A drum trap case or hardware case would work. Some music stores may even have some used ones, as shipping would probably keep them off ebay. Just check the length. Some will be long enough for weapons and some won't.

The only time fencing has ever made me feel 'old' was when a prospective student (high school aged) heard someone mention my husband's 'Jimmy Hoffa Bag' and said, 'Who's Jimmy Hoffa?'

Worlds biggest bag.

The pictures don't really give a sense of scale. Read the dimensions to get an appreciation for its size.
