Gig Snowboard Bag - 2009
My wife and I recently purchased two of these snowboard bags in order to make this winter a bit less cumbersome than winters past. I should say that we havent actually taken them on a trip yet, but I have no doubt that they will perform admirably when the time comes (10 more days!). The inside of the bags are lined with maybe a 1/4 inch thick layer padding, which is then covered in a foil-type material to keep it waterproof. The outside is canvas like and seems quite durable. With the board inside (bindings attached) there is more than enough room to place the boots between the bindings, a helmet one side, as well as gloves, hats, and any other snivel gear that may be required for a day on the mountain. Fully packed, the bag is about 7-8 inches thick. Thick enough to accommodate the essentials and beyond, yet still easily fits between the seats of a car. The shoulder strap that comes with the bag is large, padded, and adjustable. No complaints here. There are also rugged handles on both short ends and the top. No wheels included, but for what we paid, you more than get your moneys worth. Theres also a clear panel on the side to put you name or other important info. Nice touch. The only issue we had with the bag was the zipper. The zippers are made of nylon and not metal. My wifes just would not zip without splitting no matter how hard we tried. Although we were bummed out, Altrec quickly sent out a replacement before we even shipped back the original. Great customer service. Unless something crazy happens in 10 days, I have no qualms about recommending this product to others.
