 Poster: A snowHead

Hi All,
I am after a large board /ski bag that I can pack boots, clothes and 177 skis into, I don't want to take any other checked luggage. Any recommendations please.
Ta.

Try Thule, they make some good ones, large too.

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

There are plenty of options from Dakine, Burton, etc. I've actually found that you run out of weight allowance before you run out of space.

I'm awaiting a Dakine Fall Line Double - 175 (although I understand it will take slightly longer skis). They also do a Fall Line 190 bag. Should arrive by the end of the week, will let you know what it's like.

@hammerite, I'm disappointed by my Fall Line as it doesn't have internal or external straps. It is a poor omission.

Thanks Guys, have seen offerings from Snocart (sp) but not sure airlines would accept the items zipped together?

Watch your overall weight limit - normally around 32kg total - easy to sail over when you've got a big pack to stuff.

@Gaza, my bag arrived today, and I see what you mean. We got a single wheeled bag from Decathlon a few months back and it had straps in. I guess I'll just have to make sure I pack the bag fairly tightly with stuff.
Otherwise I'm quite impressed with the bag. It was big enough for me to get in and zip up past my waist - couldn't resist trying. Very reasonably priced too.

@Dirty Gibson, that's very similar to our other bag, although ours doesn't have the bits to hold boots.

Last year I had 3 sets of skis (170, 153, 128, all piste skis, narrow and quite light), 3 sets of poles, a pair of boots and various bits of clothing to pad it all out, in my Fall Line double 175. Came in under 23kg, though I can't remember how much below. The lack of straps didn't seem to matter.
