 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm struggling here! For space-anyone know of a double ski bag that also has capacity for boots? Heading out to Banff for the season and the 23kg baggage limint is proving restrictive and boots in the ski bag would be pefect!
Thanks in advance.

Rossfra8, do they weigh less if you have them in a different bag?

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

Air Canada Baggage restrictions are 2 bags of no more than 23 kg- this would allow me to fill my clothes suitcase with clothes and things-and my ski bag with skis and boots-and maybe some salopettes/jackets etc depending on room! I have to make a connecting flight with BA and this is when teh ski bag would come as "sporting equipment" if that makes sense to you..

Rossfra8, You may be better with a board bag to put it all in.

Snow & Rock's big wheelie ski bag has enough room for a boots and 2 pairs of skis (up to about 180cm, I reckon) plus poles and other odds and sods. Fully padded, plenty of straps & handles too. Got one to get around air canadas restrictions for my own banff trip. I'll check the size later on to ensure I'm not talking out of my backside.

Rossfra8, The only problem with a board bag may be the length.
Dakine used to do a 180cm board bag which we've got and used it last season for my skis and poles amd Mr m's 2 boards ( ones a libtech doughboy at 178 - huge thing) his bindings and his board boots and our ski pants and jackets plus a few fleeces.
AsCunners, has said there are some big wheelie bags out there that should be long enough, there was lasy year when I was looking. Check ebay. Hope that helps.

Right - It's not quite as long as it looks (about 210), but I can easily fit 1 pair 180 skis and a pair of boots plus 1 pair 150 skis in the S&R bag with room to spare for poles and other junk. Ellis Brigham do one too so I presume its a generic design. Ze Germans on ebay stores probably do one for about 50€, if you know German for "wheelie bag", which I don't.

Rossfra8, EB's wheeled ski bag will take two pairs of skis and two pairs of boots . . . mind, my boots weigh 6Kg and Skis 7.5Kg. . . . add to that my board, flow bindings, poles and clothing for padding and it weighed 33Kg at GVA
Most bags weigh about 5Kg on their own
