> 3 dayLove this bag. Shouldve gotten years sooner. I planned to take aboard aircraft as carry-on (it WILL fit in most U.S. airline overheads, though you may need to lay on side), but ended up checking instead (Im an airline pilot so its free either way) due to convenience. This bag is really all you need for a solo weekend skiing trip, though itll easily fit one pair of boots, two helmets, two goggles, two pairs of gloves, two sets of skiing accessories...if youre traveling with spouse/buddy. Yes, you could fit two pairs of boots, though you wouldnt have room for helmets, etc. Wonderful bag.

> 3 dayMy Ski buddies are changing to this bag after seeing mine! We like to change at the mountain base and this bag is great for that. I was very impressed with how comfortable this bag is to carry as a backpack. Fits my 10 1/2 size boots, helmet, ski pants, sweater and all the other gear I may need for the day, including lunch!. Even with all that weight, it feels like a feather on my back due to the great design. Put it on my back and walk 1/4 mile from the parking lot or condo to the slope to gear up. Not having to lug a heavy bag in one hand and my skis in the other is wonderful. The quality gives this bag 5 stars, it is VERY well made! But it also gets 5 stars for the great design ideas. The backpack straps can be stored in their own zippered section for flying or if you dont want to use them at some time.

> 3 dayPurchased two different bags for my kids - my son wanted an rust/orange on and this bag fit the bill. I have to say that compared to another brand of boot bag that shall remain nameless (starts and ends with a T) this is a GREAT bag. Plenty big and the handles are reinforced. I can see my son being able to carry a days plus worth of gear and his helmet in the pocket of this bag. I was very surprised how much could be put into this bag. Time will tell if it holds up but all indications are that this will serve him well for years to come. I am ordering one for myself today.

> 3 dayI have two of these. The first one worked so well I ordered a second. I did have a problem after the first trip with the top strap ripping but I sent it back and they swapped it for another with out a problem. Great bag and great service.

> 3 dayNice bag,good price, the only small problem...you have to put your boots in first and then load the middle compartment, no big deal

> 3 dayIt arrived on time an it’s just like it looks in the picture. I bought this for my tween daughter to use when she goes skiing. It is great quality. It’s large, especially for her age, and I bought a adult size bag so she could use it when she was older. It has so much room, enough to fit her junior size ski boots, size small helmet, and still have a lot of room left over. There are several small pockets to organize stuff, which I really appreciate. She loves this bag and is so excited to use it for this ski season and many ski seasons to come. Overall amazing purchase, would buy again for my older daughter.

> 3 dayI love this boot bag. First it has a ton of room and can fit two pairs of adult men’s ski boots. Second, it is perfectly ergonomically designed. Even when it’s stuffed it is super comfortable due to the padding on the back and well designed shoulder straps. Makes it easy to carry your stuff to the lodge. Third, great design. It has the perfect number, location, and design of pockets. It also has a spot where you can put the shoulder straps in when you put the bag on the plane. Lots of color options- my pro tip is to get some unusual colors so it is easy to pick your bag out on at baggage claim or at a resort boot bag room. Also very durable, great zippers and size, and overall simple clean look. If you are going to fly to ski, treat yourself to a good bag.

> 3 dayFirst impressions, I am very excited to use this bag. After 20 years of lugging my boots around my neck and all of my gear in a duffle bag with my helmet popped on my head, I can finally store everything in one bag and actually not look like a first timer. I’ve been too cheap in the past to buy myself a new bag. But I’m so happy I did. Packed it up last night for my first trip of the season and I am so excited. Fits everything I need. Got one for me and one for my boyfriend as well!

Greater than one weekI was super stoked when I first opened up the bag. Love the plaid print, it’s a big bag with left and right compartments for boots separate from the center compartment (which is huge). It’s big. Lots of compartments. My helmet fits in the middle with tons of space to spare for more stuff, though I left it mostly empty for this trip. Zipper pulls are nice. Zipper itself is mediocre. Disliked the metal hardware compared to the nicer ABS hardware on my eBags backpack. Big problem is the carry handle ripped off this thing the first time I used it. I have all fairly lightweight gear, Atomic Hawx boots, Oakley mod 3 helmet, Oakley goggles. A pair of DaKine spring gloves. Bag was picked up normally and carried maybe 250 feet with the handle, and it ripped loose like a tear away tag, like it was designed to. It’s a bad design. The padded grab handle on the front Is well-designed, sturdy and works well, but the top carry handle and stowable backpack strap hardware are deal-breakers. I’m going to be asking for a return on this bag.
