Traditional leather bags sound great but come with a real moisture tradeoff. A sheepskin bag is breathable and resonant, but a wet blower or a dry climate can cause real problems, and you're limited to a tube rather than a full canister system.
Synthetic Gore-Tex bags solve the moisture and storage problems but feel floppy on their own. That's why hybrid bags exist — leather on the outside for feel, synthetic on the inside for airtightness, with no seasoning and no drying-out risk.
The newest twist is the inverted hybrid: leather on the inside, synthetic on the outside. The idea is that the leather surface facing into the bag mimics more of the acoustic resonance of a true hide bag, while the outer synthetic layer still gives you airtightness.
