(More customer reviews)EDIT: This review is for the single ski bag. I guess I reviewed the double bag, but it should be for the single bag.
I was really disappointed in this bag when I opened up the packaging. I was expecting a fully padded bag, but it is only padded in about the middle 24" or so. I realize the Amazon description states that, but I bought this through another retailer which did not describe it as "partially" padded. (I'm reviewing it here, since the other retailer does not allow me to rate products on their website.) So, just be sure you understand what "partially" padded means. It means the majority of the bag is not padded, and is unstructured. The picture shows a nice, stiff rectangular bag, but it's really a floppy bag with some padding in the middle. The picture is quite deceptive.
Also, the bag is 185cm long, so if your skis are less than about 180cm in length, the skis will slide around inside the bag, thus rendering the padded part for the bindings useless. Mine are 165's, and when I picked up the skis, they immediately slid to the end and only one half of the bindings were on the padded part.
There are also useless straps near the ends of the bag. For some reason, the straps are so long, then even when fully cinched up, they still do not hold the skis in place. Plus the excess strapping (about 18") flops around dragging on the ground when holding the bag.
The strap used to hold the bag are also not ideal. Once again, the picture shows reasonably short strap, but when you actually lift the bag, the unstructured nature of the bag causes the length to become too long, which makes the bag unstable, especially since the skis are sliding around. My old bag had a very short handle and then a separate, adjustable shoulder strap. This in-between length handle is no good.
Lastly, about 10 minutes after putting my skis in and trying to open and close the zipper, the teeth of the zipper became misaligned, and ripped open. I had to struggle with the zipper to force it back to the end and re-close it. And even still, I can see that when the zipper teeth were sewn into the bag, it was not put on straight, thus causing the misalignment. The solution was to put a small piece of duct tape at the end to prevent it from opening up again, and not unzipping the bag to the end.
I'm going to keep this product and use it to store my old skis away in my garage. Let it become a dust collector. Do not recommend.
