I do not know what it is called - I just made my own 8'x4' bag out of 4oz nylon with a side handle and a tie neck... it doubles as a flotation/storage/body bag...

I use an Osprey Airporter. Never had any problem, but others use a cheap holdall and ditch it either end. As Martin Says, airports will cling film it for you too. :)

If you can't sew your own, get some 4oz Nylon and a zip and take it to an alterations place. They'll have it done in minutes for you. Also add webbing loop for luggage tags. I had a bright orange one for a long time which was really scuffed from various airports but didn't rip. Unfortunately it got impounded at customs once in Ukraine because it was the same colour as lots of something else they had on the plane, so I'd recommend lime green or bright purple as a more unusual stand out colour.
