Andythejock, I've done a fair amount of travelling about solo and wheels are essential for me, they make life a lot easier going between terminals or getting on and off trains etc. If your OH is getting skis too you want something along the lines of the Dakine Concourse Double which is available in the 185cm length. I have the Fall line double (wheeled) and it has been great.

Ray Zorro, good price but I don't think I would have the energy to carry it about after a long flight/journey especially if it had everything in it.

Personally I'd got for an unpadded single bag.
The advantage is that they can normally still be put on car ski holders or fitted into bus ski holders, etc.
Got a cheapy Tresspass one. Got it for about £10 in a sale.

Get the biggest one you can find, then you can stuff it full with clothes etc to make your luggage alowances go further. Other than that, get the cheapest.

Well, I already have a Dakine split roller 100 litre bag, so I don't need lots of clothes space in the ski bag.
So is the consenus "pro wheels"?

You know it makes sense.

Hi Andythejock, I have a brand new one of these if you want it? £15 delivered?
It's navy blue rather than the royal blue shown in the pic and is padded around the binding area. Just tried my Head Supershape 177s in there and they fit well, I think a second pair would be a squeeze but maybe possible with carefull packing......

I bought a Volkl double wheeled bag a couple of years ago and have been really pleased with it, it wasn't very expensive either. A least once a year I travel by plane and train with my daughter and there is no way I'd manage my general luggage plus skis (2 pairs) without a wheeled bag.

I've got a Lokker www.lokker.co.uk it's a really well made bag, but looking at the website specs for the one I've got I wonder if it still long enough for my new set of skis - I think I need to go and have a measure up!

Have you looked at the weight of the wheeled bags? By the time you add the skis and boots, there's no weight allowance left for anything else. Go for the lightweight non wheeled, and pack it full of your week's kit, so you don't have to pay for an extra bag on Easy Jet

Chamcham, I've got a double HEAD wheeled ski bag, it's probably the lightest ski bag I've ever had.

Went with Roger's White Rock bag for !5 quid. Can spend more at a later date but I can't afford much more before the trip to Tignes in February!
Cheers for all the responses.
