When you only have two hands |
| Rating: |  |
| I bought my wife a pair of skis, boots and poles. The first time we went skiing carrying the equipment from the parking lot to the lodge was awkward but not having hands free to guide the children was difficult. I ordered this boot bag and the High Sierra Ski Bag - Single Expandable for her. We were able to store my wife's boots and my 5 year old's boots in the bag as well as both of their skiis. I wish it had a large storage area for googles, gloves and hat but it clearly stated the size. The backpack style made carrying the boots, skis and other items much easier. If you are looking for a free hand and easy transporting of your boots this is a must. The holes in the bottom allow for excess snow melt to escape too. |

This is a great bag |

| This bag is great because it has enough storage capacity for ski boots and helmet. Mittens, gaitors, etc can also fit. All this can be carried on your back leaving your hands free for skis and poles. The only improvement I would make is to add more pockets or compartments to separate items like gloves, socks, and smaller things. I bought bags for my sons and a friend. They are sturdy enough to check as baggage on an airplane -- remember a ski bag plus boot bag count as only one item -- yet light enough to easily carry from the car to the slopes. As a Special Olympics ski coach I sometimes have to carry two sets of skis, so a backpack boot bag is a must. |

Awesome purchase! |

| This bag holds a LOT more than just my boots! I actually can't believe how much it holds, and no matter how much I over-stuff it, it doesn't look like I'm carrying around everything I own...very deceiving (maybe black is slimming for bags, too??). It's great to have a boot bag that's a back pack, rather than having a strap across my chest...choking me as I walk to the lodge. I actually bought the bag for an upcoming trip to Jackson Hole (I read a review that's it's great for carry-on) but I just used it for a trip (via car) up to Vermont, and it was so convenient for lugging gear in and out of the hotel, to the lodge, etc. |

fantastic ski-carpool hold-all |

| Great bag for holding all the little bits - makes carpooling to the resort easy! The 3 pockets are good: one on front for gloves, hats, etc; one in lid for goggles, bananas and other non-squashable items; one slim easy-access pocket in lid for wallet, ski ticket etc. Main portion easily holds my boots and jacket. Convenient top-mounted grab-handle. Not sure about the side-mounted elastic webbing - but if it's a pain it can be removed. Also, I think the bag will be good for use as a carry-on for shorter airline trips. |

Great Product at a Great Price |

| I wanted a ski boot bag for day trips to the local ski hill. This little bag is perfect and well made. I can easily carry my boots and many other items if needed. It is so impressive, I plan to use it on a non skiing vacation as a carry on. It will be a perfect size for under the seat and I can wear it as a backpack when I need free hands to pick up my checked luggage and wheel it through the airport. |

My boot bag just arrived today and it's |

| This boot bag exceeded my expectations! After reading all the reviews I wasn't sure if it would fit my size 12 ski boots, but they fit with no problem. Bag size is great and the shoulder straps are comfortable. It has a handle on the top for easy carrying and can also double as an overnight bag or mid-sized hiking pack. This is a great deal. If you're in the market for a sturdy ski-boot bag this is it and more. I highly recommend it. |

Great bag for each person in the family |

| We wanted boot bags that had the design and capacity to allow everyone in the family to carry all there own equipment. This bag seems to meet that challenge at a very attractive price as compared to the ski store bags. We're not sure how they will hold up yet but at this price a couple of years will still be a good value. It would be nice if there was a choice of colors so we can tell them apart. |

Bag me UP! |

| The bag is a great bag for the price, I can fit all my daily ski stuff in here, and wear my jacket and I am ready to go. The straps are not the most comfortable but they work fine for carrying your stuff to the ski hill and home again. Like I said before it holds all my stuff for a day on the slopes, but would not be big enough for an extended trip. |

Great boot bag |

| This is a great backpack bag for your ski boots and accessories. My husband can fit his giant ski boots and our son's helmet and gloves etc. The best part is that it keeps his hands free to carry all the other stuff Dads need to carry for the wife and kid. It's also a great looking bag, so he looks good carrying all that stuff, too. |

Great Bag |
| Rating: |  |
| This is a really great bag. It is the third one that I bought: one for me, two for gifts. Great size, durable, attractive look. The back pack style is great when my hands are full with skis and poles. One strap only doesn't seem to keep the bag on my shoulder so I have to go with both straps. I prefer the blue/black color. |
