A M north face or the 60L BD would probably be good

if i was buying again i'd probably get the BD, looks like a super nice bag

NorthFace Duffel bags are the shit. A bit pricey ish, lifetime warrenty and pretty much being bombproof makes up for it.

Does anyone know a cheap bag that would allow for me to carry both skis and a snowboard with boots? would be super helpful.

For skis, the dakine double is awesome. I can fit two pairs of skis, a pair of boots, an almost all my outerwear in it. It's really not that big and is only $110ish. For packs, osprey is top of the line. The Kode 30 is PERFECT for 1-2 day trips. For weekenders take a look at the Kode 45 or ospreys 60L pack. All extremely well made and look pretty sweet

Real quick question about a bag. Now that i have my own ski boots i need to travel with them when i go on ski vacations. Question is i dont wanna pay extra for the bag when on flights, could i pack the boots in a big bag(the ones with wheels) and still have space for casual clothes and ski gear? (jackets,pants and so on)

thx

If your already checking your skis most airlines count ski bag and boot bag as 1 checked bag. If your not checking them, you can just carry them on with you. I have done both without any problems.

Never ever ever check your ski boots.


Lost skis - demo and be almost fine, minus some crappy rental bindings.

Lost boots - agonizing pain and miserable rental boots.


Check your skis, carry on your boots.

As far as duffel's these onsight ones are amazing:
http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Packs/DuffleBags/PRD~5015-941/onsight-epo-tarmac-duffle-bag.jsp

They're a super thick, durable material that I can't imagine ever tearing. Plus it won't let water in so you don't have to worry about tossing your bag in the snow/on the ground if you're waiting for the bus or need to get something out of it.

I guess I should rephrase slightly. It isn't waterproof per say - seams and zippers aren't taped so it will let water in eventually - but snow and light rain have never been a problem.

Bump. Looking to get a TNF duffel but its way too expensive. Any other duffels that are cheaper?

Yeahhhh. North face duffels are fucking amazing. They won't hold skis but all of your other gear they will. They'll take crampons without tearing even. I've seen people use them for 10 plus years without a single problem. They are so overly beefy you can't go wrong. I'd pay twice as much for that bag if they charged it. It's that good

I have this: http://www.luggagefactory.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=S271-7830 I love it. I go to the hill just almost every weekend. I've had it for 2 years now (I think) and its held up just fine. Unlike their bindings.
