Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

I purchased this bag four years ago and it’s held up to weekly use during ski season. The only signs of wear and tear I see are the gromits on the drain holes for the boot compartments are a bit rusty, but that’s on me for throwing in ski boots that still have ice and snow on them and not doing anything other than hanging the bag on my gear wall to dry. The bag easily holds my boots, ski helmet, goggles in their hard case, multiple pairs of gloves and mittens, neck warmers, hats, extra socks, hand warmers… all the extras you might wish for to adjust to changing conditions and maximize your enjoyment of a day on the slopes can be packed into this bag. It’s not a great backpack but it gets the job done if you have to haul it from the parking lot to baggage check and from baggage claim to your rental car or other transit. Mine is holding up to my abuse and neglect well and I will likely buy another if my current one ever needs to be replaced. I even took it along when chaperoning a week long school environmental camp in November and other parents commented “that is an awesome winter gear bag. Where do I get one?”

Great bag. Have purchased 4 for my family.

I have been using this for one year. It is well constructed, has ample space to fit all my gear and the price for what you get is very reasonable in my opinion.

I love this boot bag. First it has a ton of room and can fit two pairs of adult men’s ski boots. Second, it is perfectly ergonomically designed. Even when it’s stuffed it is super comfortable due to the padding on the back and well designed shoulder straps. Makes it easy to carry your stuff to the lodge. Third, great design. It has the perfect number, location, and design of pockets. It also has a spot where you can put the shoulder straps in when you put the bag on the plane. Lots of color options- my pro tip is to get some unusual colors so it is easy to pick your bag out on at baggage claim or at a resort boot bag room. Also very durable, great zippers and size, and overall simple clean look. If you are going to fly to ski, treat yourself to a good bag.

I honestly dont know why I didnt buy one of these sooner. This boot bag is perfect! I looked at several designs and this one fit my needs exactly. Everything I bring to the ski hill fits great with room to spare. It is so much easier to carry than my old system. I would highly recommend this product!

LOVE this bag! Talk about holding everything but the kitchen sink!! This boot bag holds both ski boots, helmet, goggles, 2 pairs of gloves, ski pants, 2 ski jackets, socks, face mask, and MUCH MORE. I wear a 25.5 boot and there is plenty of room to put more stuff in the boot compartments. There are drainage holes for the boots and the boots are separated from the middle compartment so all your other items stay dry. I bought 2, one for me and one for my husband, so we can carry our gear on our flight. As some people mentioned it did arrive with a strong smell from being in plastic, but I let it air out a day and it was fine. I LOVE the 2 hardy straps to carry as a backpack and it has a comfy rubber handle you can carry it with too. I highly recommend this bag!! If you way over stuff it I dont know if it will fit in overhead compartment on a plane. I will let you know. Im going to over stuff mine and put very little in my husbands just in case. Check out my photos, everything you see is in the bag zipped up and there is still room for MORE!

Seriously so in love with this bag. I have always used a duffel bag but at the end of the day it was so heavy on my shoulders and really bulky. I have finally upgraded to this bag this year and I couldnt be happier! I feel like a turtle walking around with it on my back but it fits everything I would ever need! Both ski boots on either side, my ski jacket, ski pants, helmet, gloves, and there is still room if I need anything else. It has so many extra pockets in addition to the boot pockets on the sides as well as inside. If youre a skier or rider this is a perfect bag for you!

Purchased this for flying and hauling from car to lodge and back. First true test of the bag was just a day of skiing, and boots, helmet, gloves, lunch and a water bottle fit with ease. Plenty of space left over! Second test was a flight from NY to Jackson Hole, WY, where this bad boy flew as checked baggage - and I was able to fit not only my downhill boots, the afore mentioned gloves, helmet and goggles, but also found space for my XC boots and a couple other odds and ends. Cool feature: Back Pack straps are designed to unclip from bottom loops and tuck into their own zippered pocket. Once tucked and zipped, they are safe from getting snagged and damaged by airport baggage handling machinery. Once we arrived and were traveling to and from the hill every day, I was able to carry boots, two helmets, gloves, a couple of extra clothing layers plus lunch, etc., with no problem and all zippers closed with ease. This is one spacious bag! Its well-designed and very solidly built with quality zips and good padding, which makes it quite comfortable to carry on ones back. It is not designed to fit in an airline overhead compartment. It is designed to carry a whole lot of stuff and, apparently, to take a beating. Im quite pleased. Only wish Id purchased it sooner!

Really sturdy and well made. Fit all my ski gear with no problems (and a little room left): boots (26.5), helmet, goggles, gloves, pants, XC skiing pants/shirt/hat/gloves and base layer. I like the that shoulder straps can be hidden inside.

This bag is great for people who own their own ski gear and have to do a lot of traveling. I havent had any problems with the handles breaking like some of the other reviewers have mentioned. Its really handy that the shoulder straps can be tucked away when you arent carrying it. Although I wrap my skis with my ski pants and jacket for additional padding, I was able to test out packing all my gear into this bag. Gear includes: -- ski pants, jacket, sweatshirt, two sweatpants, long underwear, gloves, helmet, goggles, and ski boots. I even had some room left over. Also if you want to use a locker at a ski resort, this bag is durable enough to fold up and shove into a tiny locker which is convenient.
