Weekend Warrior

Best ski boot/travel bag ever! No worries about helmet damage or boots lost in air travel. I am an instructor who travels frequently, I can deal with lost skis, but boots…..no way! Also…the larger size Weekend Warrior holds more than just a weekends worth of clothes with “creative” packing. I’ll say it again, best ski boot/travel bag ever!

I haven’t tested it for a weekend away yet, but everything I need fits in nicely, and the quality appears to be good. I appreciate all the compartments and pockets. The only issue I’ve encountered so far is that the bag I received was not the colour I ordered (I ordered Twilight Blue and received Ice Blue), so I’ve taken one star off for that. Shipping was quick and painless.

It would have been better if there were a divider in the boot storage compartment. A flexible divider would help keep the boots separated and prevent them from rubbing against each other, which could cause scratches or scuffing. I also think the helmet storage compartment being on the outside of the bag is not ideal. It doesn’t provide much protection for the helmet, especially when the bag is placed in an airplane’s overhead compartment and other passengers’ luggage may be placed on top of or pushed against it. A more protected, padded helmet compartment inside the main bag would be a better design. The main reason I bought this bag was because I need to take my laptop with me all the time. I use the outside pocket to store my laptop because it is easy to access during airport security checks, and in that respect, the design worked very well for me.
