Athalon Everything Boot Bag/Backpack - Ski - Snowboard

I got this for my 9-year-old daughters ski things. It holds her boots, helmet, goggles, hats, gloves, etc. and her ski clothes - snow pants and jacket, and there is still room for more. It is a bit big for her, but she can still carry it pretty comfortably. When emptied, it fits in the larger-sized lockers at the ski hills. It is a nice, durable bag.

Holds everything I need, looks well made....

We went from a double boot bag that we loved. It had boot pockets on both ends so we carried both pair of boots and a large center pocked in the middle this was a wheeled duffel and we loved it. Couldnt find anything like it anywhere (We used it for over 15 years). We found these EVERYTHING BOOT BAG/BACKPACK on Amazon an the reviews looked good so we gave it a shot. Have used them this season and really like them. We are spoiled and dont have to walk far to or from the lodge so we really didnt need the wheeled duffel any longer and it was finally worn out. These were a good choice. I carry extra gloves, socks, lighter shirt helmet and goggles and still have room for more. the boot compartments are vented so the boots dry nicely overnight without having to take them out of the bag. I would definitely recommend and buy this bag again.

Great bag. Have purchased 4 for my family.

I love this bag! The bag is really spacious and even when I have it packed full, the weight is distributed really well so it doesnt feel heavy at all. It has really nice cushion support on the back; its extremely comfortable to wear. I love that the boots have their own separate compartments so you dont have to worry about getting snow/dirt/wet on the other stuff in your bag. I can fit my boots, my helmet AND my daughters helmet, plus both of our mittens, goggles, hats, masks, etc. Then there is still room for a few additional pieces of clothing. The top has a zippered pocket on the outside and inside for smaller items that you want to keep handy. Plus there are little hooks throughout if you want to attached keys or something else for handy access. There are two pockets on the outside that I feel dont make a lot of sense. They are on each side of the boots. I was excited when I read about them, but when your boots are in there, its really a very tight squeeze to put anything in those side pockets. You certainly cant put anything hard (like goggles), but you could squeeze something fabric in there. (Maybe face masks or something.) But there is so much space inside the bag that I dont feel like those outside side pockets are even necessary. I have seen reviews about the top handle breaking/tearing. Ive only had mine for a week, but I will say the handle on the front (not the top) is extremely solid. So I might just avoid that top handle and use the front one for quick lifting. But mostly Ill be wearing it as a backpack anyway. This is a really great bag. Im very happy with my decision and highly recommend it!

Purchased two different bags for my kids - my son wanted an rust/orange on and this bag fit the bill. I have to say that compared to another brand of boot bag that shall remain nameless (starts and ends with a T) this is a GREAT bag. Plenty big and the handles are reinforced. I can see my son being able to carry a days plus worth of gear and his helmet in the pocket of this bag. I was very surprised how much could be put into this bag. Time will tell if it holds up but all indications are that this will serve him well for years to come. I am ordering one for myself today.

It does not stand up well enough on its own to make it easy to load and unload. You have to hold it up/open to do anything. Once youve got some stuff inside it then makes it annoying to put the boots in and out. Since the bag doesnt really hold its own structure, more contents make it distort and then pockets and zipper become misshapen and harder to use. I went with a Kulkea which costs more but is a lot nicer, tougher, sturdier, and easier to use.

My goal was to utilize this as a backpack-bag for my ski boots. They fit in nice and easily. I put in my gloves, vest, facemask, hat, and other lightweight ski accessories on top of the boots and in the side pockets. The material is nice, as are the front and top handles. For anyone who has ever traveled by air to a ski destination, youll be able to sympathize with me for what happens next: I used this bag for the very first time this past weekend. I was flying out for two days with some friends to go skiing. Had my carry on in one hand, ski bag in another, and this on my back (utilizing its back-straps). After having it on for 15 minutes at the airport, I heard a snap, and this bag came crashing down. The plastic buckle piece on the strap had broken! I wasnt running, I wasnt jumping. When this happened I was merely standing in line to check in the ski and boot bags. Needless to say, for the rest of the trip, whenever I had to carry this along with the ski bag and my carry-on, I cursed Athalons name. Luckily my purchase was still within the Amazon return policy window; will be returning this and purchasing another boot bag. Preferably one that has sturdier buckles for the backpack straps.

The boot bag is made with heavy duty material and zippers. Boots go in the side pockets and are vented to help with moisture. Outer gear such as helmet, shin guards, goggles, ski pants, gloves, etc. all fit in the large center compartment. There is also a center pocket on top for smaller items such as cell phones, keys, etc. There is also a small zipper compartment on the outside of each boot compartment. The backpack straps can be tucked away into a zipper compartment on the back for airline travel. I also purchased the Marker Everything Boot Bag for my son. It turns out that the Marker bag is actually made by Athalon so these bags are very similar in features and construction (nearly identical). He is on a ski team so the bag gets used 4-5 days a week. The bag is holding up well.

Excellent bag. Fits boots, helmet and clothes. Plenty of room. Survived round trip airline flight no problem. Use it for day trips as well. Very pleased with the bag; it makes lugging boots, etc. much easier, and everything stays organized. Good quality. I would buy it again (I also bought one for my wife and she thinks it’s the greatest). Plenty of padding and zipper access and compartments. Very well designed and constructed. I considered the transpac bag, but I think this one has a bit more room.
