 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone any experience or thoughts on the Thule Round Trip Double Ski Roller or Round Trip Boot Backpack?
For info both items, as well as other models, are available on SportsPursuit at what appears to be a very reasonable price.
Any reviews or comments welcome as considering a purchase.

Anything I have read has been positive, I'll take a read the links too. The price is excellent but my biggest fear is the size.
The last 3 years we have been DIY when it has come to our trips. Flying in & renting a car for the transfer. My fear is that we may have to be selective about the rental car, making sure it has a ski flap from boot through to back seats. Even at that the bag appears fairly big & I wonder would it fit.
If we travelled & used coaches for transfer this may not be an issue.

Hmm, good point re. the size for cars...
I haven't found any at a better price that could fit my biggest skis (185cm) so may not have an option, but I'm expecting to be on coaches/transfers now more than cars (boo).

We generally end up taking skis out of a ski bag to get them in the hire car. Even if the bag is full of boots , clothes etc you can generally get it in more easily with the skis separate.
Another good option is to travel with a handirack www.handiworld.com/HandiRack. I bought one after a recommendation on here and they are brilliant.

I went on ahead & ordered the Thule luggage last night. Price seemed too good to miss & I kind of reached the same conclusion - skis out of the bag if it doesn't fit. But the Handirack seems like an awesome bit of kit. Thanks jedster, I'll definitely look into that a bit more.
Cheers

Do boots fit in the same bag? Or does it require a separate bag?
I've been thinking about the Dakine Fall Line double (which will take boots) or this one.

Not sure. Certainly look like there is plenty of room but not 100%.
I ordered the double ski bag & boot back pack.

I know it is an old thread, but I've also just ordered the Thule double ski bag and boot pack from SportsPursuit. I had to get a new ski bag anyway, as I bought some longer skis (urck, gets pricey), but I had the Dakine Fall Line double previously. The Dakine bag is pretty well made, but I was never quite happy putting boots in the pockets, as the material looked like it was slightly thin, plus would need a load of clothes around to pad anyway.
