> 3 dayWe purchased 2 bags for middle school ski club trips. About 1/2 full (used to carry goggles, boots and lunch) - 10 mins btwn parking lot and slopes and 5 minutes from house to driveway on 3 trips. Will try to get replacement bag of same type and update review. Pros: Graffiti print very stylish; easy to find in a ski club of 400+ kids with mainly all black baqs. Returned and Got Same One: 2nd one has held up well for 2 years (about 15 trips total).

Greater than one weekReally sturdy and well made. Fit all my ski gear with no problems (and a little room left): boots (26.5), helmet, goggles, gloves, pants, XC skiing pants/shirt/hat/gloves and base layer. I like the that shoulder straps can be hidden inside.

> 3 dayThis is my daughter’s ski bag. Best bag ever. Holds so much. Boots and all. I have bought 5 of these bags. One we had for about 2 Ski seasons when it’s split on the same. My son-in-law contacted the company They gave him instructions on what to do and replace the bag without any issues. This is an amazing company these bags have a five year warranty and they honor it. I would buy anything from them

> 3 dayLove the bag. I have room for boots, helmet, extra clothes, everything. It really makes getting from the car to the lodge so much easier.

> 3 dayLoved this boot bag, and I really wanted to keep it, however it didnt fit in the overhead compartment of the plane. Also, I found it to be a bit too big. Yes, it held ALL of my wearable ski gear (coat, pants, helmet, gloves and extras), but was very uncomfortable to wear as a backpack since the weight distribution was off. I looked at the measurements and found that it was basically 17-18 inches square (back and bottom) thus too wide to get through the opening of the airplane storage space above me, and would not fit under the seat in front of me either (I ended up taking one of the boots out in order to flatten it enough to slide through the storage opening. If you are not planning on flying with this (or plan to check it in), then its an awesome bag, well made, with plenty of room and nice extra storage features and clips. Since I am only 52, this bag is just too big to carry comfortably.

> 3 dayAfter 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.

> 3 dayI got this bag just before going on a ski trip that included both flights and drives. It worked well as checked luggage, holding boots, helmet, and lots of ski clothing; it also worked well during the trip to hold everything I needed for the day (except of course for skis and poles). Its great that it has backpack straps that can easily be zipped away for the flight. The bag offers a surprising large amount of storage space. The bag appears to be quite durable, but Ive only used it for one trip so I dont have enough history with it to say for sure.

> 3 dayI have this bag in green and have used it almost every weekend during ski season for the past 7 years and it’s still in great shape. I bought this as a gift for a family member because I love mine so much. This pattern is beautiful, bag appears to be as well made as my 7 yo bag and it is super functional for hauling and organizing your ski gear.

20-12-2024The bag is huge and seems well constructed except for the handle. With ski/snowboard gears are quick heavy, especially ski boots, a bag packed full will snapped the carry handle on the top as it is only sewed lightly at the top. So if you dont rely on the top handle, you will be fine. Just hold the back strap or the entire bag.
