Those look great but aren't they too big for most airlines ?
It says 48 x 36 x 33cm but for example BA carry on limit is 40 x 30 x 15cm and EasyJet 56 x 45 x 25cm. I know this as I've been looking for a similar bag 
I know BA don't always check but they have been getting stricter.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Rusco, ? BA is also 56 x 45 x 25 , the smaller dimensions you give are for the handbag/laptop carrier.

Yes you're right thanks for correcting - cut 'n' past error on my part.

I'm not a big fan of dedicated bags for stuff like that.
I use a standard kit bag - the 50L RAB one fits hard boots & a helmet and is Maximum Legal Carry-On, but is flexible enough for use year round with other sports.

I get that too... but my bootpack does for instance have a tarp lined boot compartment, which is waterproof for putting boots in which still have bits of snow stuck on, and is also really hard wearing
I think a lot of backpacks would get torn up on the sharp edges of my boot soles

Get a 30 to 40l "square" rucksack. Easy to get 2 boots in. Biner the helmet to the straps outside. Job done.

Dakine DLX Cargo Pack 55l if they still make them . . .
Was reticent at first as the naked weight of this bag plus my boots is over the bog standard 7kg threshold . . .however wearing it 'straps on rucksack style' no one has ever noticed it so its never been weighed. You can carry your ski boots and enough gear for a short trip with this - the dedicated waterproof compartment, additional compartments and compression straps make it a compact option. Its got a helmet pocket however I've never used this and it would make the overall stealth look way less stealthy . . .

@mooney058, Absolute-snow have a 10% early bird discount on the fall line. Their site says that they expect delivery in October.
