Ski Boot Bags

[jack97]

i use a strap, it's long enough to sling it over my shoulders. They sell these things at most ski shops. Never got into the big bag of stuff, imo..... what ever floats you boat.

I used to just use the velcro uppers from each boot together

Back before I got a booster strap with a buckle I just velcro-ed the two straps together and slung them over my shoulder.

Used one for years with no issues. Extremely practical. Well, it's actually L.L. Bean but it's obviously the same thing that Beans just slapped their name onto.

daugher and ex spouse never got the hang of using the velcro, it would slip apart b/c the velcro was still dirty. I got several of the straps and we all got hooked.

What do you use.?

Normal backpack, boot straps together and slung over top. This without the skis:

Like I said, no offense to anyone who likes the functionality of the Transpack, I just think they look dumb jutting out from your back a ridiculous amount.

yeah I wouldn't take this bag on a hike up to Tucks or anything... it's for brining crap to a lodge and probably a sandwhich also

I have a Transpack too cause they look cool and are functional.

Extremely functional but I disagree about the looks. I relunctently got one because I saw the value of its functionalness. Used to sling the velcro straps together over the shoulders. Definitely easier just grabbing one pack with everything... but I definitely lost some style points. Worth it for the functionality, though.

I sell tons of transpacks. I dont like the enclosed boots personally, so I dont have one. I have a Rossi bag like this with the boots on the outside.

But I have had it around 6 years, and it could use replacing. I will most likely get a Transpack because they are so functional, but I hate the look of them.

Need to pick up some of the Jr versions for my kids. Have a hard time dishing out what they are asking for them.

Poor kids can't even get a nice boot bag for their gear. Did you have a hard time "dishing out" for a new larger jacket for yourself since you "dished IN" all the food over the summer and your stuff doesn't fit? I see the two little ones won't even have a place to eat their meals since you are also selling the kitchen table on them, probably to pay for this stuff....http://forums.alpinezone.com/showpost.php?p=672514&postcount=3 :wink:

Wow, you're being kind of a dick. Even with the wink.

Boredom, slow time of year at work.

got the jr for my daughter a few years ago and had similar thoughts on the $$, especially thinking it would not last long as she grew to larger boots. she got it as a Christmas gift from us so it came out of that "budget". I also factored in the effect HER having a boot bag would have on ME.

Most of the one's I had seen were close to $50 for the kids pack. Altrec had some for $32 so I went ahead and got them. Yes, them being able to carry their own boots and gear factored heavily into my decision to buy!

I have a high sierra bag that I got a few years ago. It's big enough for my boots, helmet, goggle box, ski pants, gloves, and coat. Now with the coat in it, its a tight fit. I am really happy with it. I think I only paid $40 for it. It has back pack straps which is a must.
