Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

Absolutely fantastic. Fits both my ski boots, and my helmet. I keep my gloves, goggles, and a few other small things inside the helmet and it works great! It also fits my camelbak! I was unsure if I liked the one strap until I saw someone with the same bag and they had their ski poles pressed against their chest held by.the one strap! Had skis In one hand, everything in bag, and poles across chest almost like and archer lol. Just make sure you put the strap over your head and across your chest. Leaves me with one free hand which is crucial UPDATE!!!! .... I found the second strap haha. Was in a pocket I didnt see. I still like the one strap method I mentioned tho haha. Fantastic bag

Have had this boot bag for three years now and travelled with it a number of times in those years. Great bag. The material is solid. Lots of room - I wear a size 12 boot and still get my helmet and a bunch of other stuff in the middle compartment. Would buy it again.

After taking a few years off to start our family, my wife and I are back on the slopes and teaching our kids to ski. With not only our own gear, but also the stuff the kids cant carry themselves, good bags make all the difference! The quality is top notch, and I got great points for the color and pattern choice. The ONLY reason for not giving 5-starts... I would have liked some kind of mesh or net on top of the bag to hold a helmet. Placing the helmet inside the bag with the boots (and the socks, and the gloves, and the goggles, and... and... and...) just seems like a bad idea.

This is the best bag! I can fit everything in on spot. Ski boots on the side and in the middle: heavy jacket, 2 heavy pants, 4 base layers, helmet, goggles, gloves, and socks. Love this bag!

WOW, what a boot bag! Lets see - my helmet with a pair of goggles inside of it, one pair of ski pants, one neck gator, a hat, a Buff, a Seirus face mask, a long john top and bottom, two quarter zip pull overs, a boot in each pocket, two pair of socks, an extra pair of gloves and the outer shell to my ski jacket. All of this stuff fits inside! Theres even room for a few protein bars and a sammich! Its built well so time will tell on durability. But based on the other reviews, and, what Ive now personally experienced, that should be the least of my issues with this bag. Oh yea, one internal pocket on the inside of the flap, one on the outside of the flap, an outside pocket on each side of each boot pocket plus, four internal key hooks - so far. Im sure theres another one hidden somewhere. Its certainly a big bag but not cumbersome by any stretch. The straps are comfortable and stow away nicely and the back padding is also a plus on those extended treks into the lodge from BFE parking. So far so good!

2022 Update: I just bought my 4th bag. The previous 3 purchases were my sons, mine and 1 for my wife. All have performed excellent. Im replacing the same bag that lasted 12 years and frankly that one is still serviceable except for a couple small holes at the seams at the bottom of the boot storage area which I could probably easily fix and Ill give it to my daughter. The new bag does have a chemical smell and Ill return the bag if it doesnt resolve in a few days. We bought this for my teenage son for carrying his ski boots, helmet, ski pants and ski clothing etc. The bag is perfectly sized for this. For anyone familiar with Transpack bags, this Athalon bag is very similar, and although slightly different shape, it seems to have the same capacity. I would say this Athalon bag is a step up in quality from Transpack and even my teenage son noticed the high quality. I would highly recommend this bag and I might even buy one for myself :) 2/5/11 EDIT: I was so pleased with the quality and capacity of my sons Athalon Everything Boot bag, I got one for myself. Without problem it holds ski boots, ski pants, long underwear, sweat pants, two shirts, sweat shirt, ski sox, a pair of shoes and my helmet. There are extra pockets to hold more. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and there is padding between your back and pack. 1/22/13 EDIT: Ive lugged this bag to and from the mountain close to 50 times and the bag is still in excellent condition. Very pleased with my purchase.

We bought this for my daughter to carry her ski gear in on ski trips. This bag is huge. She can fit her boots, helmet, gloves, ski pants, coat, hand warmers, and still have room. The bottom has feet and drain holes on the boot sections. It seems well made and we used it all season, going at least 20 times. Im getting one for me next!

My sons and I ski & snowboard. Getting a 12 & 15 year old and their gear to the slopes is tough enough. Nevermind having everything organized. I love these bags. I have everything they need for a ski trip stored in their bag: Boots, helmet, goggles, two pairs of mittens/gloves; snow pants:, ski jacket; gators, etc. Theres still room for more! It takes the stress off of packing to go up north (from Boston area). The backpack style is so convenient because they still have their hands free to carry skis or snowboard. Im so glad I bought these!

Love the bag. I have room for boots, helmet, extra clothes, everything. It really makes getting from the car to the lodge so much easier.

My boyfriend bought this bag for me and I absolutely LOVE it. As others have mentioned you can put so MUCH in it! I love that you can wear it as a backpack freeing you hands up to carry your ski bag and suitcase. I have used it several times now and only have one recommendation to make. To preserve the bag I put my ski boots inside a heavy duty plastic bag and then place inside the boot bag. This also comes in handy if you are leaving the slopes and your boots are wet you probably dont want to put wet boots in the boot bag. I just ordered one for my son-in-law for his birthday (he just bought his first pair of skis and boots). I hope he enjoys it as much as I have. I would imagine that there are other uses for the bag other than a boot bag. I can see using this for trips in the summer; the compartments are great for segregating your stuff so you can find things more readily.
