gdboytyler Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Check out the Dakine 180 cm long travel bag with wheels. It will fit all the stuff you mentioned. You'll be way over the 50 lb airline limit before that bag gets full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron_butt Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 http://www.nextag.com/dakine-split-convertible/shop-html which one do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Actually, I was thinking about this one (I have an older version). I assumed you also wanted to carry a board or two. http://www.dakine.com/snowboard/bags/wheeled-board-bags/high-roller/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 No, there isn't. Well you can buy bags which are long enough for boards and big enough for the other junk, but if you travel you'll need generally to be within the 23Kgs limit, plus you'll soon find that long heavy bags are really, really hard to manoeuver around the world. It's the combination of length and weight which is the problem... so I find it's best to put the boards in a (hard shell) case and the gear goes in a separate bag. I'd resisted wheels for the gear bag (you can strap it to the hard board case...) but at the moment I'm testing some Dakine wheeled case for that. Oh, actually it's a "split convertable" now I look... I thought that the "convertable" thing was a bit of a gimmick, but it saved me $25 getting out of Phoenix the other day by being split into two at check-in.

iron_butt Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 seems no such thing of "perfect". an anti-commercial (is that a word?:rolleyes:) idea just pops up. what if we set up a world-wide carver-sharing network? not only saves the troublesome, but also the hard-earned.:smashfrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortcutToMoncton Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've got a fantastic Volkl ~205cm wheelie bag that has 3 internal fabric/mesh compartments for boots, bindings, etc. As others pointed out though, if you try putting all that stuff in there your bag will be far too heavy to fly anywhere. It's great on van/bus trips though.... greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
