Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

I 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.

Fits boots, helmet and a lot of clothes. When it’s full it’s heavy and bulky. I wouldn’t want to carry it for long

We bought this for my daughter to carry her ski gear in on ski trips. This bag is huge. She can fit her boots, helmet, gloves, ski pants, coat, hand warmers, and still have room. The bottom has feet and drain holes on the boot sections. It seems well made and we used it all season, going at least 20 times. Im getting one for me next!

Excellent bag. Fits boots, helmet and clothes. Plenty of room. Survived round trip airline flight no problem. Use it for day trips as well. Very pleased with the bag; it makes lugging boots, etc. much easier, and everything stays organized. Good quality. I would buy it again (I also bought one for my wife and she thinks it’s the greatest). Plenty of padding and zipper access and compartments. Very well designed and constructed. I considered the transpac bag, but I think this one has a bit more room.

I needed a bag that could carry a pair of size 28.5 ski boots, plus helmet and miscellaneous gear like gloves, balaclavas, and assorted bits of ski accessories. Yet not a huge duffle which would be hard to carry around. This bag met all of my requirements, and seems to be well made and sturdy. I did notice however that the upper carry handle attachment to the bag was a bit flimsy. After a week of daily trips to the ski area however, it seems to be holding up. Also, even though equipped with sturdy back straps, I find that the bulky bag is difficult to use as a back pack when fully loaded. I usually put it over one shoulder which is OK for a short walk from the lodge to my car, but not for a longer trudge to a more distant parking area or through a busy airport.

I was pleasantly surprised that this bag carries my ski boots, gloves, pants, helmet, googles second layer fleece or puffy jacket, water bottle and a few snacks with ease. A very important feature is the strap that connects across the chest. This takes some of the weight off your shoulders. To put it in perspective for you, I have a hurt shoulder (may require surgery) and the design was able to distribute the weight across my back in a way the did not aggravate my shoulder. This is the first ski season that I’ve used the bag. Hopefully, it will last.

We 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).

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?”

For the money, this is a great option for carrying your boots and gear. its roomy enough for size 12 boots, helmet, goggles, jacket, pants, long underwear, 2 pairs of gloves and more. its ideal for day/weekend trips via the car and occassional plane trips. if youre a heavy destination traveler via plane, i might look at different options from transpack since they have wider straps and beefier handles which will withstand checked bagging better. i have both packs and prefer the athlon for local trips. it has better back padding and is more comfortable in general. Transpack is more rugged and optimum for plane travel but much more expensive.
