The Gannaway is a cowhide bag with an airtight zipper and pre-cut stock holes. It's still tied in the traditional way, but the holes are already cut for you, and the current version has fixed the earlier zipper-attachment problems with sewing, glue, and iron-on tape.
Any hide bag, Gannaway or sheepskin, needs regular moisture and occasional seasoning to stay airtight. The leather has to stay a little damp to seal properly, so it's not a good choice if you're an occasional player or live somewhere very dry.
Sheepskin is the traditional, zipperless option, prized for how breathable it is. It leaks air and needs regular playing to stay conditioned, but its big pores let it breathe well, which is why it's long been favored for keeping drones dry.
