Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

The bag is huge and seems well constructed except for the handle. With ski/snowboard gears are quick heavy, especially ski boots, a bag packed full will snapped the carry handle on the top as it is only sewed lightly at the top. So if you dont rely on the top handle, you will be fine. Just hold the back strap or the entire bag.

I 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.

This perfect bag to carry ski equipment.. Easy to wear light back pack

I just received this bag today and, unfortunately, the zipper isnt actually stitched into the bag all the way around on the main compartment. I was hoping to use it this weekend, but instead I will wait for a replacement from Amazon. I got two of this bag (different colors) and the other is fine. This bag holds a TON of stuff, its easy to fit in a pair of womans boots and two helmets. I guess time will tell if it holds up or if this I come to regret buying--and bothering to go through the process of exchanging--this bag. Update: the replacement bag arrived with the zipper completely unstitched in the same part of the bag (and barely attached all the way around the main compartment) so Amazon must have a bad batch of this White out color. The Batik color I also purchased is stitched well in the zippers. That bag is currently holding womens boots and helmet and an additional 2 youth helmets with ease--it has great capacity and is comfortable to carry. Update 2: the replacement for the replacement arrived. The zipper is just barely stitched the whole way around the bag. I tugged on the zipper to try to get an idea of whether it is going to fail catastrophically right away, and it seems mostly okay, so Im going to keep it. The Batik color bag I also purchased from Amazon has held up through several ski trips and the White out bag has done OK so far over 7-8 ski trips. I use one to carry womens boots, helmet/goggles, snowpants, sweatshirt, hats, mittens and the other to carry 2 youth boots, 2 youth helmet/goggles, and snowpants, hats, mittens for the pair. They are really handy for lugging all the pieces around, especially with kids.

Ive got big feet. My ski boots are big and heavy. I was suspicious about a bag that could really make a difference but after reading the reviews and wanting to protect my boots on a trip I made the leap. This bag is great. Takes my size 13 ski boots without issue and there is still room in the middle compartment for my helmet (big head too), gloves, goggles and the rest of my skiing accessories. This is now my ski bag - its where I keep all my stuff so I can get dressed, grab my bag and skis and head out the door. Added bonus are the shoulder straps - I thought the bag would be too long to really wear as a backpack but it works well. After a long day of skiing its really nice to pack the bag and throw it over my shoulder and go. The bag is well constructed and is holding up well after a ski season of use. When its time to buy another one Ill be right back here.

My son loved the a Christmas Gift! Had a bunch of room!

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.

For the money, this is a great option for carrying your boots and gear. its roomy enough for size 12 boots, helmet, goggles, jacket, pants, long underwear, 2 pairs of gloves and more. its ideal for day/weekend trips via the car and occassional plane trips. if youre a heavy destination traveler via plane, i might look at different options from transpack since they have wider straps and beefier handles which will withstand checked bagging better. i have both packs and prefer the athlon for local trips. it has better back padding and is more comfortable in general. Transpack is more rugged and optimum for plane travel but much more expensive.

Have had this boot bag for three years now and travelled with it a number of times in those years. Great bag. The material is solid. Lots of room - I wear a size 12 boot and still get my helmet and a bunch of other stuff in the middle compartment. Would buy it again.
