slabber Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I've seen a few pics recently with what look to be great base/edge protection. Any reviews? Are the ones on Amazon ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabber Posted February 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Realized yyzcanuck offers one, and they're 'local', so may go that route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only drawback with this one is the shipping is $35. 50% the cost of the item itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 A trip to Fabricland and a half hour with the sewing machine did the trick for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think Donnagail chose that fabric and sewed that one. I did 2 others. But it’s super easy to do, if you don’t have a sewing machine you could probably get a seamstress to make it for you for cheap. It’s maybe 5 or 6 straight runs on the machine to make the bag and straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 The design I use, you just fold over the top, wrap the straps around and tie a knot. It’s intended for use just throwing one board in the car or else stacking multiples in a sturdier case for travel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabber Posted March 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) So, I ordered this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003795760935.html? The 165cm version. It was C$41 C$38.21 (checked my order) or just under US$30 to the door. Ordered Feb 6th, arrived today March 7th, so a month basically. It fits my Ultra Prime 68. It's neoprene so has quite a bit of give. I didn't try stretching it to fit the Prior 175cm but it might. It just looked too short but after I fit the 168, which required an easy stretch for the end to loop over the tip, it might be doable. I'll check again later. Quality looks quite decent. Neoprene and Rossignol branded. I'll prob order another. Edited March 8, 2022 by slabber corrected price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLN Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Do you want bindings to be exposed? If not, get Dakine ski sleeve. I'm using 175 and even my 180cm coiler (180x21) fits in there. I know they have 190cm as well. Can get for under $50 on amazon, comes in plenty of colors. Easier to put compared to neoprene sleeve.

slabber Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 These were for transport in the back of the SUV or in the larger wheeled travel bag I have - primarily to protect edges/base. I've ordered a second now. But I'll take a look at the Dakine as well, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortcutToMoncton Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I have the YYZ Canuck one. I guess we’re now in a world where everything will ship from whatever country has the lowest cost manufacturing but I like supporting local businesses in my niche market. Having said that the middle plastic buckle seems to be placed a bit awkwardly on my 195mm wide Coiler. It’s too short to wrap around flat to the top of the board and too long to fit on the bottom. It’s kind of on the side where it doesn’t lie flat. I may may to borrow that sewing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd consider picking one up next time I'm down to TO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried... both Walker at Bomber and Dan at UPZ have been great for shipping costs on small orders. I asked Andrea if there was a lower cost option vs the system generated $35 on a $70 item. I ship a fair bit of stuff, buying and selling, so I have an understanding of the costs but she said often loses money on shipping and it cuts into profits. Granted, I had shown her another vendor that offered $5 shipping on a similar item but I wasn't expecting anything that extreme. I'd have payed $20 shipping but $35 is steep for that size of a package... I'll see about picking one up in person next time I'm in TO.
