Comments about REI Evaporator Double Ski Bag:

This is a simple, but very good bag. It is massive. I had a pair of skis and a snowboard in it and still had room for other ski gear. The one drawback is that if you don't need a lot of space, it is too big.
I can definitely give it my recommendation and if you don't need a bag this big, get the single ski bag which is still big...just not as big. It is a great bargain.

Comments about REI Evaporator Double Ski Bag:

I've traveled twice with this ski bag, both times with two pairs of skis. Both times went fine, no issues with airlines, no damage to skis. All that was good.

I took off two stars for the following reasons:
1) On one side, the slots for ski poles appear to have been stitched the wrong way, so the slots won't hold poles longer than about 36". It's clearly incorrect, meaning it really only securely holds on set of poles.
2) The carry straps are almost useless. They could have easily been designed to be easier to carry. There's just no comfortable way to carry this bag.

This was purchased as a light use bag, so it otherwise met my expectations. Some general info for anyone wondering: it's not padded in any meaningful way, but the construction feels solid and is designed well for handling wet skis. The tie-straps are well-placed and work well, but they're on the outside; there's nothing internally to secure the skis in place in the bag.

I think the bag is fair to what was offered. It's just a simple offering, but there are some key elements that could have made it better (pole retention and straps, per above).

I plan to keep it, and it's primary usage will be storage in winter and light travel (probably less than yearly), so it met what I was looking for (mostly inexpensive). If that's the primary goal, inexpensive for a little travel, it's probably sufficient.

No way to lock the zipper

Comments about REI Evaporator Double Ski Bag:

This bag would be great, but for one major problem. The zipper does not allow for adding a TSA lock. If you're spending a couple grand for two skis, bindings and poles, you will want to lock the bag shut before checking it for flight. Really a major fail on the part of REI. Both sets of skis fit in the bag with poles and even helmets, so there's plenty of room. Unfortunately, the bag was returned to REI and we purchased a SportTube instead, which, with its hard siding, is probably a better buy anyway.

Day Trips

Comments about REI Evaporator Double Ski Bag:

used it on a 5 day trip to Utah for skiing. Traveled by air. full bag of 2 pairs of skis and gear weighed 50 lbs. Would have been easier to handle at the airport if the bag had a set of wheels at one end.
