> 3 day2022 Update: I just bought my 4th bag. The previous 3 purchases were my sons, mine and 1 for my wife. All have performed excellent. Im replacing the same bag that lasted 12 years and frankly that one is still serviceable except for a couple small holes at the seams at the bottom of the boot storage area which I could probably easily fix and Ill give it to my daughter. The new bag does have a chemical smell and Ill return the bag if it doesnt resolve in a few days. We bought this for my teenage son for carrying his ski boots, helmet, ski pants and ski clothing etc. The bag is perfectly sized for this. For anyone familiar with Transpack bags, this Athalon bag is very similar, and although slightly different shape, it seems to have the same capacity. I would say this Athalon bag is a step up in quality from Transpack and even my teenage son noticed the high quality. I would highly recommend this bag and I might even buy one for myself :) 2/5/11 EDIT: I was so pleased with the quality and capacity of my sons Athalon Everything Boot bag, I got one for myself. Without problem it holds ski boots, ski pants, long underwear, sweat pants, two shirts, sweat shirt, ski sox, a pair of shoes and my helmet. There are extra pockets to hold more. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and there is padding between your back and pack. 1/22/13 EDIT: Ive lugged this bag to and from the mountain close to 50 times and the bag is still in excellent condition. Very pleased with my purchase.

> 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 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 got this bag just before going on a ski trip that included both flights and drives. It worked well as checked luggage, holding boots, helmet, and lots of ski clothing; it also worked well during the trip to hold everything I needed for the day (except of course for skis and poles). Its great that it has backpack straps that can easily be zipped away for the flight. The bag offers a surprising large amount of storage space. The bag appears to be quite durable, but Ive only used it for one trip so I dont have enough history with it to say for sure.

> 3 dayThis is my daughter’s ski bag. Best bag ever. Holds so much. Boots and all. I have bought 5 of these bags. One we had for about 2 Ski seasons when it’s split on the same. My son-in-law contacted the company They gave him instructions on what to do and replace the bag without any issues. This is an amazing company these bags have a five year warranty and they honor it. I would buy anything from them

> 3 dayI 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?”
