One year when I got home I made a list of the things I took with me and never used. It didn't help.
Yeah. You didn't use it on THAT trip but maybe you will the next trip. In the bag it goes!

Every system has flaws. That one wouldn’t fit into the car, so got left in the garage. The car served as the bag. Worked well.Did you check the shopping cart? Or carry it on the plane with you?
f you can, I recommend going with a bag made of 1680 denier ballistic nylon and not one made of rip stop polyester
Transpack Pro Series Ski Vault Doublesuch as??
Anyone tried the evo branded roller?

Im looking at that bag, the thule roundtrip and the Kulkea.
I need to fit 2 pairs of skis193x106 waist current max(doubt I would ever go longer). Im not concerned about weight. I want something I can lash down to a flatbed truck or toss into a pickup bed and keep my skis cozy.
DURABILITY is critical, Id rather buy once so Im not terribly concerned about the price difference in the bags.
That tube is pretty solid. It kind of makes me wonder if your skis would have survived the abuse if they had been in a soft bag.Back in May 2022 we booked a ski trip to Mount Hood and had our two kids signed up for slalom race camp. This was our first plane travel with skis and the availability of ski bags/carriers was pretty limited. I ended up getting two Series 2 Sportube Ski Cases. In hindsight I would say it was a mistake, as on that first trip the plastic case got badly dented at the end, and it was a pain to push the dent out as the tube is too long to reach in to the end. They are also more fiddly to use compared to the softer style bags and not so easy to pack other items in with the skids. They did their job in protecting the skis which was part of my thinking of going for the harder style case, but they are far less practical overall.
I'll probably replace them with the softer style bags that are being discussed on this thread, but thought I would share my experience with the Sportube Ski Cases.

I’ve had the kulkea double roller for a few years. Haven’t flown with it yet but it has lived in the back of my pickup and hasn’t been babied. It has held up great.Anyone tried the evo branded roller?

I just got back from my first ski-flight with using the DB roller bag.
Really happy with it.
People in the know: do you put the tips at the bottom or the tails?
I've put the tails at the bottom (where the wheels are) but think it might be better the other way around?
