I think the DB is the best on the market right now. Mine is clearly showing signs of wear and tear after approx 25ish flights, but its still going. The functionality is best in the class IMHO and if I'm honest with my self, all the other bags I'm hauling around are showing wear and tear as well.Quote:

anyone found a roller that can accommodate two pair of (up to) 190cm and two pair of kid skis (130cm)? Poles too........
The Dakine Fall Line Double would work for that. Depends on how much other gear you're trying to stuff in the bag.Quote:

BTW, for our Euro trip we just did, the agents didn’t weigh our bags, (2 loaded ski bags, but 6 different flights). All just tagged them, then sent us off to the oversized area, and those guys just grabbed them or told us to put them on the belt. Alaska at Seattle, BA in Munich, BA in Lyon, BA in Heathrow, Alaska in San Diego, Icelandic in Reykjavik.
PMGear was the bomb. Mine is finally wearing out.
Dakine zippers keep blowing out.
Bought dynastar 2-3 pair bag last year.
Loved it so much I just bought another for 140 with the eBay coupon.

I'll see if I can find one. They seem to be sold out. A good testament.

It looks like it got caught up in a belt or something and would've put a hole in nearly anything. 3 pairs of touring skis and poles was almost exactly 50 lbs. Between the scale and the oversized bag drop we snuck our boots in the bag too and it was happy to swallow everything up. Highly recommended.Quote:

Also it's pretty low height so less room to play Tetris with multiple pairs. And because of the height , after repeatedly putting in two pairs , avy gear, pack ,etc the zippers blew from being over stretched
The Fall line is way flimsier but way higher and between weight and size can accommodate a ton of stuff. That's my go to now

I also wish it had gear loops on the outside to strap on a bag, but honestly anyone with a bit of sewing skills could do that.
I'd like to try the Patagonia Snow Roller sometime. My buddy has it and it looks like an awesome bag, but not sure on durability yet. It is also super lightweight.
The 190cm model is unobtanium if seeking new...
The ladies version seems readily available.

I mentioned in another ski bag thread that I once hauled ten pair of bros into vancouver airport in my pmg bag paying only aQuote:

Has anyone tried these? Pugski seems to like Kulkea heated boot bags.

Thanks for this info -- was looking at this bag. $15 cheaper than the Dakine counterpart. And have an Evo store just down the street if I have any trouble. Certainly overkill for a trip with 1 set of touring skis and one set of boots, but what the hell.Quote:

Pro tip right there. The new evo bag is even better than last year's, it has molded semi-hardshell protection at the tips and tails and the 195 size is huge. Replacing my Dakine Concourse Double this season.Quote:

I hate you!!! You told me to get last year's, (last year). It went Seattle-Amsterdam-Lyon, Lyon-Heathrow-Reykjavik-Seattle loaded to 50 pounds with nary a scratch. Highly recommend.Quote:

That’s the Evo Deluxe roller bag. They still sell the regular bag for $134.Quote:
