> 3 dayWe have 4 kids who all love to ski. They each needed a bag to store their gear. I bought one of these years ago. We tried a couple other brands and sent them all back. This is the ONLY ski bag we will use. Its big!! They can hold all of their gear. I really like the inside zipper pocket for them store their food money and anything else small so it doesnt get lost. I cant say enough about the great quality of this bag.

> 3 dayUsed this bag on a recent heli trip where they limited the amount of luggage we could bring. I fit my boots, helmet and a good amount of clothes in here. You can easily get away with packing this and a ski bag for a weekend trip. Boots have a separate compartment which is ideal for the end of the day when they are wet; i believe they have grommets to let out the water but double check me on that. I found the same if not more features on this bag than the more expensive name brands if you are OK with not having brands define you. The material is very durable and well sealed. Case in point, my nasty cat peed on the bag one day along with everything else in my house and thankfully it didnt penetrate the material, I just hosed it off...bad cat, good bag.

> 3 dayAwesome bag! Totally worth it ($45). Great build, durable, and can hold a ton of stuff. I was able to pack my ski boots on either side and my helmet with my ski gear in the middle compartment (gloves, goggles, beanie, neck wrap, thermals, balaclava mask, ski boot holder, ski boot warmers, ski holder, Camelbak, etc). The total weight was 22lbs. The backpack straps can be zipped up into a compartment, making checking this bag in a breeze (the bag can be checked in with another bag (my ski bag) as sports equipment and the total weight of both items must be under 50lbs (Delta airlines policy). The bag didnt seem too bulky and was easy to carry. The only small issue is that the sides of the bag didnt seem too sturdy/padded so I wrapped my boots in fleece pullovers just to be safe. It probably woudve been fine. But, I just wanted to be safe. I purchased the Select Sportbags wheeled double ski bag ($95) and with one pair of skis, ski poles, ski jacket (wrapping the skis) and ski pants (wrapping the poles), snow boots, and sandals, the ski bag only weighed 25lbs. Overall, this bag is a great buy, worth the money, and I would definitely recommend it. I would even say I would buy it again. But, I dont see this bag breaking anytime soon.

> 3 daythis bag is awesome! there are two really sturdy handles on the outside and it holds everything I need for the day on the slopes like my pants, jackets, coats, extra shoes, snacks and so much more and the separate compartments for the boots are perfect and very roomy (i have size 240 ski boots and have a bit of room left)! there are tons of little zipper pockets all over the bag and even a compartment to put the back pack straps away if you arent going to use them! the back pack feature is what i really like most though, it makes carrying my skis and poles so much easier with two hands. I definitely recommend this bag! the only complaint i have is that its a pretty big bag and some of the ski places i go to have cubbies to put your stuff in and the bag is kinda hard to shove in but its definitly worth it!

> 3 dayAfter taking a few years off to start our family, my wife and I are back on the slopes and teaching our kids to ski. With not only our own gear, but also the stuff the kids cant carry themselves, good bags make all the difference! The quality is top notch, and I got great points for the color and pattern choice. The ONLY reason for not giving 5-starts... I would have liked some kind of mesh or net on top of the bag to hold a helmet. Placing the helmet inside the bag with the boots (and the socks, and the gloves, and the goggles, and... and... and...) just seems like a bad idea.

> 3 dayFabulous bag especially for the price! I saw a similar bag in a ski shop close to my home that was $99! I have to say this bag is WAAAAYYYY better! And with Prime I got it in two days, which was perfect for my upcoming ski trip to Colorado. This bag has a great color, which means you wont mistake it for the countless other black ski bags out there. Plus so many pockets for stashing lots of stuff. It holds boots, helmet, gloves, pants, socks, protein bars, key clips... I cant say enough good things about this bag. It is also made really well, which means you can take it on many a ski trip. Thank you, Athalon!!!

> 3 dayI have this bag in green and have used it almost every weekend during ski season for the past 7 years and it’s still in great shape. I bought this as a gift for a family member because I love mine so much. This pattern is beautiful, bag appears to be as well made as my 7 yo bag and it is super functional for hauling and organizing your ski gear.
