 Poster: A snowHead
|
It seems luggage allowances, hand baggage, boots in the cabin, ski carriage are among Snowheads perennials! So apologies for another luggage thread...
I'm looking for a ski/snowboard bag that will take everything I need for a week. Found this at Decathlon which is just about perfect:

However (and inevitably) they're out of stock.
Does anyone know of anything similar and where I might get one. Thanks, in advance.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I use a Dakine Fall Line Double Wheelie Ski Bag. Looks similar and can be had for about the same price if you look around.

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

Sport Conrad do a similar bag too, very good quality and slightly cheaper.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Bag arrived today; perfect so thanks @john w, for the suggestion.
And hats off to Simply Piste, not a company I'd ever come across before. Ordered Sunday afternoon, delivered this afternoon. Excellent service.

@colinstone, I've got that Mandi bag, albeit with a different brand name on it. The bag has been OK for the last ten or so trips, only the shoulder strap connector has broken. Need to replace it now as it's too short for my new skis. I'm going to spend a bit extra, probably on a Dakine or a Douchebag as I think they might be a bit roomier and a bit harder wearing.

We've 2 of the decathlon bags and can't fault them and they've survived over 30 flights. We have to use the extension bit for my husband and sons 187cm skis but still robust and can get lots of other stuff in as well. Also have a Dakine concourse but can't fit as much extra kit in and its slightly heavier.

@Valkyrie, @muppet,
Thanks for your excellent input. Had narrowed choice down to those 2 and now gone for the Decathlon.

@mattiwilkin, The Cox swain look interesting but seem to finish at 175cm.
