Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

My boyfriend bought this bag for me and I absolutely LOVE it. As others have mentioned you can put so MUCH in it! I love that you can wear it as a backpack freeing you hands up to carry your ski bag and suitcase. I have used it several times now and only have one recommendation to make. To preserve the bag I put my ski boots inside a heavy duty plastic bag and then place inside the boot bag. This also comes in handy if you are leaving the slopes and your boots are wet you probably dont want to put wet boots in the boot bag. I just ordered one for my son-in-law for his birthday (he just bought his first pair of skis and boots). I hope he enjoys it as much as I have. I would imagine that there are other uses for the bag other than a boot bag. I can see using this for trips in the summer; the compartments are great for segregating your stuff so you can find things more readily.

I gave this to my sweetheart, who is a ski instructor, and he is SO happy with it! Its easy to get your boots in the side compartments and there is loads of room in the center section for taking extra layers of clothing for changes in weather or for when you need another set of clothes to change into after work - coat included! The whole center top zips open, so it is easy to pack too. The handles on the top and front are sturdy and a good size that you can grab easily with gloves on. The back pack straps are padded and easy to slip on when you are alone. This bag also sits upright when empty, which makes it easier to load the middle without boots than some other bags.

I purchased this after seeing it rated as a top ski boot bag in a skiing mag article. It delivers! It’s a lightweight bag (until you fill It) and the backpack straps make it so easy to carry all of your gear and still have a free hand. I stowed my boots, helmet, googles, gloves, jacket, ski pants, and an extra change of clothes, wallet, keys and I still had some room in the crevasses of this bag!!!!

Center storage area is huge. I was worried that helmet and gloves might be a tight fit. I have Helmet, goggles, 3 pair of gloves and plenty of room to spare.

We purchased 3 of these for the family for Christmas. They hold everything we need, including our ski pants and extra socks, and the separate compartment for goggles is great. I love the fact that the back carry straps can be tucked away when transporting in the car. Makes carrying our gear easy, and feels much lighter than trying to carry things apart. It also helps keep everyones gear tidy, ready to go, and together in the car. Now we just grab our bag and skis and load up the car. My only complaint was that I had to purchase these through amazon.com instead of amazon.ca.

Purchased this for flying and hauling from car to lodge and back. First true test of the bag was just a day of skiing, and boots, helmet, gloves, lunch and a water bottle fit with ease. Plenty of space left over! Second test was a flight from NY to Jackson Hole, WY, where this bad boy flew as checked baggage - and I was able to fit not only my downhill boots, the afore mentioned gloves, helmet and goggles, but also found space for my XC boots and a couple other odds and ends. Cool feature: Back Pack straps are designed to unclip from bottom loops and tuck into their own zippered pocket. Once tucked and zipped, they are safe from getting snagged and damaged by airport baggage handling machinery. Once we arrived and were traveling to and from the hill every day, I was able to carry boots, two helmets, gloves, a couple of extra clothing layers plus lunch, etc., with no problem and all zippers closed with ease. This is one spacious bag! Its well-designed and very solidly built with quality zips and good padding, which makes it quite comfortable to carry on ones back. It is not designed to fit in an airline overhead compartment. It is designed to carry a whole lot of stuff and, apparently, to take a beating. Im quite pleased. Only wish Id purchased it sooner!

We went from a double boot bag that we loved. It had boot pockets on both ends so we carried both pair of boots and a large center pocked in the middle this was a wheeled duffel and we loved it. Couldnt find anything like it anywhere (We used it for over 15 years). We found these EVERYTHING BOOT BAG/BACKPACK on Amazon an the reviews looked good so we gave it a shot. Have used them this season and really like them. We are spoiled and dont have to walk far to or from the lodge so we really didnt need the wheeled duffel any longer and it was finally worn out. These were a good choice. I carry extra gloves, socks, lighter shirt helmet and goggles and still have room for more. the boot compartments are vented so the boots dry nicely overnight without having to take them out of the bag. I would definitely recommend and buy this bag again.

I purchased this bag four years ago and it’s held up to weekly use during ski season. The only signs of wear and tear I see are the gromits on the drain holes for the boot compartments are a bit rusty, but that’s on me for throwing in ski boots that still have ice and snow on them and not doing anything other than hanging the bag on my gear wall to dry. The bag easily holds my boots, ski helmet, goggles in their hard case, multiple pairs of gloves and mittens, neck warmers, hats, extra socks, hand warmers… all the extras you might wish for to adjust to changing conditions and maximize your enjoyment of a day on the slopes can be packed into this bag. It’s not a great backpack but it gets the job done if you have to haul it from the parking lot to baggage check and from baggage claim to your rental car or other transit. Mine is holding up to my abuse and neglect well and I will likely buy another if my current one ever needs to be replaced. I even took it along when chaperoning a week long school environmental camp in November and other parents commented “that is an awesome winter gear bag. Where do I get one?”

WOW, what a boot bag! Lets see - my helmet with a pair of goggles inside of it, one pair of ski pants, one neck gator, a hat, a Buff, a Seirus face mask, a long john top and bottom, two quarter zip pull overs, a boot in each pocket, two pair of socks, an extra pair of gloves and the outer shell to my ski jacket. All of this stuff fits inside! Theres even room for a few protein bars and a sammich! Its built well so time will tell on durability. But based on the other reviews, and, what Ive now personally experienced, that should be the least of my issues with this bag. Oh yea, one internal pocket on the inside of the flap, one on the outside of the flap, an outside pocket on each side of each boot pocket plus, four internal key hooks - so far. Im sure theres another one hidden somewhere. Its certainly a big bag but not cumbersome by any stretch. The straps are comfortable and stow away nicely and the back padding is also a plus on those extended treks into the lodge from BFE parking. So far so good!

After taking a few years off to start our family, my wife and I are back on the slopes and teaching our kids to ski. With not only our own gear, but also the stuff the kids cant carry themselves, good bags make all the difference! The quality is top notch, and I got great points for the color and pattern choice. The ONLY reason for not giving 5-starts... I would have liked some kind of mesh or net on top of the bag to hold a helmet. Placing the helmet inside the bag with the boots (and the socks, and the gloves, and the goggles, and... and... and...) just seems like a bad idea.
