I need to replace my outer talit bag - the one that most people have as a brittle, transparent, zippered bag with gold piping ([e.g.](http://www.a-zara.com/pe--35-3500-5234.htm)). I am tired of having these bags break on me, and I don't have a designer inner bag to display, so transparency is unnecessary for me.

Can you recommend an alternative? It doesn't necessarily have to have been designed to be a talit bag.

Requirements:

* Tear-resistant
* Waterproof
* When wet on the outside, easy to extract contents without getting them wet
* Lightweight (ideally, I could fold it up empty and put it in my pocket)
* Space for a talit, tefilin, and a couple of books
* Not too ugly to carry into the synagogue on Shabbat

Optional:

* Special compartments for talit, tefilin, books, etc.
* Nice-looking Jewish design on the outside, or the ability to add one
* Shoulder strap, or at least the hooks for one

### Update:

On further reflection, and after considering Aaron's answer, I'm thinking that what I'm looking for is like a "[stuff sack](http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26rs%3D3375251%26ref_%3Dsr%255Fso%255F9%26keywords%3D%2526%252334%253Bstuff%2520sack%2526%252334%253B%26qid%3D1262098982%26rh%3Dn%253A3375251%252Cn%253A%25213375301%252Ck%253A%2526%252334%253Bstuff%2520sack%2526%252334%253B%252Cp%255F4%253AOutdoor%2520Research%26page%3D1&tag=miyodeya-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957),"but preferably with more in the way of internal compartmentalization and external strappage, and looking less like a gym bag.
