Element Equipment Deluxe Padded Ski Bag Single - Premium High End Travel Bag

To start off I've been skiing for 49 years and average 3 or 4 airline trips a season. This is the second bag I've order in two weeks. I ordered the first one in red in advance of a recent trip. I needed it to replace a ski sleeve that had it's zipper broken by the airline. The photos looked good, but I was a bit skeptical because of the inexpensive price. When the first one arrived I was super impressed by the quality. Heavy duty zipper, durable material, and just the right amount of padding. I would expect 5 - 10 years of use at 3 -4 trips per season unless the airline baggage handlers do something crazy. The bag is basically a rectangular soft sided "tube" that looks exactly like the photos in the listing even when empty. It does fold to 16X12X6 inches for storage. The length in the listing, in my case 190cm, is the length of the bag so plan accordingly. My 180 cm Bonafide skis fit perfectly. Could maybe fit 185 cm skis but that's about the limit. There is plenty of room to pack clothing in the bag along with the skis and poles, which obviously adds extra padding and, like most skiers know, is an efficient way to transport your gear. Between this ski bag and my Transpack carry on boot bag I was able to pack all of my gear and clothing for a 5 day ski trip. OK, so why is this my second bag in two weeks? My 26 year old son was on the recent trip to Vail with me and when he saw the bag he had to have one before our second trip of the season. The difference was that he wanted his in blue rather than the red bag that I ordered. The two of us will we taking that 2nd 5 day trip and we'll only need to check our ski bags. We normally fly Southwest so we don't need to worry about bag fees, but if you are flying any other airline the savings on the checked bag fees will be a nice bonus. If you are willing to spend $200 on a ski bag you have some good options. But for about 50 bucks I don't think you can beat this bag. Order with confidence.

Great padded bag, high quality materials and workmanship, looks great. Just big enough for my 166 skis.

Works well and at a great price! Purchased for a ski trip to Utah and had zero issues with the ski bag. I put a set of wide 174 Black Crows along with poles and everything fit perfectly in the 190cm bag with a little extra room to spare. Quality appears to be good with a tough outer fabric, big zipper, and solid padding. Skies made the trip there and back without issue.

Very sturdy and protected

Have used ski bag once - materials, zippers, and general construction are very good vs cost. I like when companies use good zippers and Element does. Element ski bag is not overly heavy or bulky and even balances on top of a larger roller board suit case (slip ski bag handle over the extended roller board handle). I have 177 cm (length) x 90 mm (wide) skis and purchased the Element 190 cm length ski bag. There is just enough room for skis, poles, and all my soft outerwear (jacket, pants, gloves, ect), so recommend sizing up if between bag sizes. I have not tested if two pairs of skis and poles will fit, but thinking its possible especially if skis/poles are different sizes and medium wide. This ski bag will NOT fit helmets or boots.

Purchased one bag, then purchased a second. Both bags were designated as accommodating up to 190 cm. My skis are 173 and 180 and both pairs fit comfortably in these bags (one pair plus poles per bag.) These bags have the most padding I have ever had, more than in any of my previous ski bags, several of which got ruined this year. The Element One bags seem sturdy and were easier to load than some of my previous bags.

This bag is awesome! Fit everything! I was worried about skies and helmet, but it was just wide enough. Sturdy and easy to handle. I'm going to add the boot bag.

I ordered a different bag that was $10 cheaper on Amazon and returned it. Then I ordered this ski bag and it is really high quality. I would highly recommend. It has durable material and squared off bottom which makes loading skis easy. Buy this if you are looking for a great ski bag. Seriously.
