Swix Road Trip Convertible Ski Bag
Swix Road Trip Convertible Single Ski Bag—protect your planks from clumsy baggage handlers
As someone who is frequently hauling my skis between two places (the Cascades and the Rockies mostly), finding a good ski bag that will protect my skis and accommodate my other gear is of utmost importance. For skiers and die-hard powder lovers, packing up your skis and hitting the road chasing the next big storm and finding the sickest terrain is just part of the ski lifestyle.
Traveling with skis does pose a problem. They’re long, they’re awkward and they are not exactly conducive to fitting in a normal suitcase or bag you already have sitting around the house. Skis are also expensive pieces of equipment you’ll definitely want to keep safe whether you are tossing them in the trunk or back of a truck or taking them on the airplane and trusting them to the baggage handlers.
The Swix Road Trip Convertible ski bag will do just that. Thanks to an expandable 20-cm section at the end of the bag, this bag can also accommodate skis of all lengths (up to 180 cm). The bag is also padded, with extra padding around the binding area to make sure you bindings stay protected no matter what. There is also an inside padded sleeve that runs the length of the bag to keep you skis extra safe. There are also textured PVC wear panels.
