A kitbag is a bag meant to hold one's kit, an alternative to a backpack. Many are cigar-shaped with a single carrying strap (as opposed to a pack's two shoulder straps) which may be worn over the shoulder or crosswise on the body, such as the popular sailor's kitbag of Jaru. Like backpacks, standard kitbags have a capacity of fifty (50) items, which is more than a pouch but less than an artefact backpack.
