 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone have this bag, and what is their experience?
Looking for a bag to hold 2-3 ski's plus at least one pair of ski boots. We've flown before and I've been taking two ski bags for kit for three people. Ski boots also fit in carry on luggage, but still trying to optimize luggage situation. Especially handy when flying an airline that charge 50 or so per checked in bag, but can get airfare for 30 roundtrip.
Other bags I'm looking at are the Dakine fall line and snokart.
cheers

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

great tip @macgyver!
How much do you put in it? Do you manage your boots in there as well? The description doesn't mention if it is meant to be a double or single ski bag, says 10 inches wide and 9 inches deep.... what do you think since you have the bag?

@HeidiAmsterdam, just be wary of weight limits. Typically 23kgs allowed per bag. The bag itself empty 4-5kgs, skis and bindings 1 pr 3-5kgs...
Looking at it, 175x36x24 I wouldn't get my 177s in, and certainly not boots as well.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have Nordica Hells Belles that are 170 cm, so they would fit. They other two ski's are for my tween kids, and boots fit in the carry ons... but a bit bigger would be better to pack in some fleece, socks and what-nots.

@macgyver, what are the dimensions and are there any internal compartments or straps?

Thinking maybe the Dakine double wheeled bag. It's 190 cm, gives me extra room - provided I don't go over on the weight..

In the end, I went for what was likely the most expensive option. I got the douchebag, and the accompanying 30L carry-on boot bag.
The thing is, purchasing these things is such a pain, and I this gives me all flexibility that I want, and looks to be something that will last me quite some years. That, and I'm rather tired of buying things that fall apart after using it 3 times.
So if anyone else is considering purchasing douchebag, I will soon be the proud owner and can tell prospective buyers all about it.

Hi everyone sorry I replied so late. I will get more info of the bag tonight with some pics.
Can definitely fit my boots and skis (171cm) in it though.
