Best ski bag for 2 pairs of skis?

I use the Douchebags main wheeled ski bag I don’t remember what the model is called (I think it’s just called the douchebag). Super sick, I’ve traveled to Europe and back with 3 pairs of skis in it (2 w bindings one without) and a pair of boots with no issues. It can be rolled down if your skis aren’t super long so they don’t slide back and forth. Wheels are super solid, made of like what razor scooter wheels are made of so they don’t crack and split. It’s pricey but worth it and I know for a fact you can fit all of your shit in it.

This one?

I have the Dakine Fall Line roller bag. It's big, I've done two pairs adult, and two kids with three sets of poles, a couple helmets, etc. It rolls well in snow and slush, down stairs, on relatively rough terrain.

The biggest issue I have with it is it's a little bit too big and you need to be careful to keep it under 50lbs for flights.

I found mine on sale for $100ish two years ago.

thanks, I was looking at dakine bags first, but a lot of the reviews are negative and say they aren't very durable

thanks, good looking out! What size do you have? I've read (forget where) that you can size down and the "175" would actually fit a ski longer than175

Should have mentioned that...I have the 190, fit 185s with room to spare.
 
14329903:Dub_Digital said:
175 would probably be too small then, yeah?

They would *probably* fit but I would definitely want to know from someone who's tried it. What ski? What's the straight tape measurement?

Big shoutout to og douchebag! I've had it for 5 years now and it just perfect, fits all the gear you can imagine and is easy for any type of travel; car, train, plane, bus.

Stupid expensive for sure but lasts forever and solves all you problems

I like the fact that you can roll the top down to take out space. It's about the same price as the thule, the thule seems to have a better warranty, the db says it doesn't cover any damage due to travel

The rolling thing is absolutely genius, makes the bag way easier to roll and carry around. Of course airport people handle the bags like trash so it's going to take hits, but that's why you should have travel insurance, not rely on any bag manufacturer-warranty
 
Have used something similar to this for over 7 years. A little epoxy + masking tape to patch up inevitable holes. As long as it has wheels and fits 2 pairs of skis it'll work. I wouldn't pay more than ~100 bucks for a bag. Getting tossed around an airplane won't hurt them if you compare that to using them for what they're made for (stomping down a mountain).

I also have this bag in whatever the biggest size is. Works perfect and is durable. Only qualm is the 50lb weight limit for airlines cuz I could easily fit way more in here

Tru dat, will swing by my Sierra and see if they have anything yet
 
I think the DB, and Thule are out of my budget. I don't travel enough to justify the price.

My top contenders;

Dakine Fall line , found one for $109. Cons = No straps inside for skis, durability is questionable

Sportube ski shield (from sierra) $119, has the straps inside, Cons= 10$ more than the dakine, and no reviews online
