Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm going away in a couple of weeks for the first trip of the season and need a new bag that will carry a board, ski's (sorry) and all my gear.
I borrowed a LOKKER one from my brother last year and fancy getting the Dakine High Roller in a 180.
What is the biggest bag out there as I want to pack everything into it?
Cheers

Watch your weight limits. Was at the snow show this year looking for a new board bag and one of the exhibitors had a really nice whole luggage system which all zipped together into a big coffin, but it weighed in at 7 kilos so thats about a 3rd of your allowance on an average budget euro flight.

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

I can fit myself in a DaKine High Roller 180 and do up the zip. Could be a cheap way of taking the wife along.

I get board and skis plus all boots, bindings and a week's clothes in my Burton wheelie locker. Either one of these or the Dakine High Roller will be fine. The max for a single bag, with ski/board transport is normally 32kg.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

A tad over the baggage allowance?

You'll need to Register first of course.

Boredsurfing, er, just under twice what you're allowed for a board bag, in fact. So much for that plan then.

A triple ski bag is one of the biggest. I have taken three boards and a pair of skis in one. It is only when I saw people busting the straps and their backs that I realised it wasn't such a good idea...

Thanks for all the advice - a 180 it is then!

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Jumping Jack Flash, unless you need to take long skis too, I'd get a bag closer to the length of your board. Your board becomes the spine of the bag and a longer one may have a foot of sag at end if its too long. I put a 159 board in a 164 bag and that works fine.

bar shaker, I bought a snowboard bag in Jackson Hole a couple of years ago. It had a zipped up extension (about a foot). Extended it's just about big enough for my 175cm Swoard. My point being that length adjustable bags exist to avoid that 'flappy' bit.
