BAG that won't turn my white gear yellow?

Here's the problem. I was using an Itech X-Factor 4.8 bag in black because the wheel bag I was using was so heavy when I wasn't wheeling it I thought I'd go back to a barebones bag. The thing is, I noticed some of my all-white gear had some yellowing starting on the edges of the leather (it is near brand new gear), and I wondered, wtf is this, and sure enough, when I rubbed the gear on the inside of the bag, it turned yellow. We're not talking SportGold here, just a light yellow.

Anyway, needless to say I'm not eager for this to be happening to my expensive equipment. Can you guys suggest bags that you know don't do this, or reasons you think it might be happening?

I know that some goalies put their gloves into separate draw cord bags/pouches to keep this from happening and to help dry them out quicker. Use a bag that is absorbent and breathable like cotton or terry cloth - you can prob make some yourself for a true custom feel. Or, get a new gear bag without the cheap yellowing waterproofing inside. I agree - yellowing white gear is like smokers teeth on a supermodel!

It was actually the nacho cheese...

...however, if it wasn't, I'd be wondering if anyone knew if there were any decent bags still made out of vinyl on the market? Lord_of_the_cage recommended an Eagle bag but I can't seem to figure out where to find one online. Anyone have any other ideas? Brian's used to make one right?
