Ski Boot Bags

[Nick]

I just replaced my ski boot bag that I literally got for my 10th birthday. I had a hideous neon green bag that was awesome back in 1990.

Anyway it served me well, but the boots were in the same place with everything else, and it also bugged me that I couldn't really fit everythign into it. I could get boots, pants and goggles but that was about it. Also I wanted something with a separate boot compartment to keep all my clothes from getting grungy and wet.

Just picked up this Transpack XT1 in blue:

Haven't taken it to the mt yet but I can already tell it's going to be much better. Has backpack straps which are a nice touch (my last one just had a shoulder strap). Also has separate pockets for boots and plenty of space to fit pants and even a helmet, which I definitely wouldn't have been able to fit on my last set.

What are you guys using to carry stuff too / from the mountain?

Every person in the family has a Transpack...have worked out really well.

Same bag, same color. Love it.

I just bought my wife a new XT1 for Christmas. One of her zippers broke and it was starting to wear a bit in the boot pocket.

Got one of these in red: http://www.amazon.com/TEAM-PACK-SKI-BOOT-BAG/dp/B000WZYRNO

Going on my 4th year with it. Pretty bomb proof and made locally out in western MA.

All four of us have a transpack. They are pretty ergonomic, but I think they could be a bit more durable...at least if you want it to last 22 years, Nick.

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

That thing is hardcore... looks like a great travel bag as well.

I'll take a picture of my old bag when I get back home. You guys will probably shit your pants when you see it.

Interesting side note: my sister (SkiStef) has the same old bag, but in pink. We both got them for christmas :lol:

Nick I bought the exact same bag yesterday too, the same color too!
Altrec had it for $59.95 with free shipping.

I bought one for my wife too. She wanted the checked one but it was $20 more so we ended up getting the solid color ones.

I hate Transpacks. IMO, they're ridiculously lame and dumb looking. Almost as lame as that boot tree (I can't believe people still have those).

But, too each his own. Personal Preference.

You keep your skis in a rack to make sure they don't loose camber too?

They do look pretty dorky, I'll give you that. But I find mine to be extremely functional.

 

[o3jeff]

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

I don't think they are that dorky. Let me find a pic of what I had before. THAT was dorky!
