Mountain Carry-All Ski Boot Bag

We are preparing for a ski trip and needed a couple of boot/gear bags. After spending quite a bit of time on Amazon researching options I decided to go with the Athletico. They got solid reviews, and were one of the larger bags. Summer just ended, so we have not had them to the ski hill yet, but I have put my ski boots into my bag and they fit well with plenty of room. For reference, I wear a size 11 mens shoe. Each boot has its own zippered pocket, and then there is a huge center storage compartment for other gear like helmet, goggles, ski clothes etc. The bag has a carry handle, and also straps that either tuck away or can be used to wear the bag like a backpack if you have a long distance to carry your gear. While the bag has not been on a road trip yet, based on initial impressions I anticipate these bags will work well on our trip.

I am very happy with this boot bag. I was sad to find a mouse had chewed through my old ski bag. I had had it for nearly 30 years! This bag is rather large in comparison but has plenty of room for boots, helmet, goggles, ski pants, gloves and large lunch! It has back pack straps making it super easy to carry hands-free. I was pleased with the quality of the material and think that this is an unbelievably great value for the money!

UPDATE: almost 2 years later and I still love this bag. It’s held up extremely well and I’ve had no issues with it. I wanted a larger boot bag than I currently have and after looking at nearly every bag on Amazon, decided on this. I LOVE it! It fits everything I need for the mountain except my skis and poles. I easily fit my ski boots, helmet, goggles, gloves, ski jacket, pants, sweater, various thicknesses of wool long johns, hand warmers, and various other small items. I love that I can use the backpack straps or zip them inside and just use the handle. I ended up tucking in 1 backpack strap and will use the other to throw the bag over my shoulder. I haven't used it on the mountain yet but it seems to be very well made.

Sometimes I kick myself for buying golf shoes at Christmas and ski equipment in August. But THIS time I made a great decision. My boot bag last year was a knock off backpack and just never worked for me. It was a pack that stored the boots in the center. No problem there but I just could never get the straps to work so I ended up toting it by the flimsy top handle. I knew I wanted to upgrade this year! This Althletico pack is a boots to the side model with drainage and ventilation. It also has HIDE AWAY STRAPS which was important. I am still not sure I will be a backpacker. But by hiding the straps it becomes much easier to tote by the carry handle. One strong handle, one not so strong, but acceptable handle. TONS of space! Plenty of room for my 28.5 boots, helmet, gloves, goggles... and etc. Way more room than I expected. And with the boots to the side the bag seems to balance well, whether I backpack or tote. A pricier model I was considering had mini feet on the bottom. No feet here but worth the price for sure. I also like the top pocket with the clear zipper pocket inside. A number of clips for keys etc are also inside most of the pockets. Likely a useful feature. Previous models must have had the outside bungee straps over the top pocket as I see them in older photos. With so much room I doubt I will miss them. Zippers are always a concern... The zippers and the top handle are the reason for my reduction to 4 stars. Fingers crossed both hold up. Priced paid is what locked the deal for me. This was a 'like new' purchase priced at under $15! Certainly 'new' quality as it even came with the tags attached! I think I have a winner boot bag. I know I have a bargain! Update: The center storage area is so large I decided to stack a couple of dollar store bins to help sort the goodies stored there. Helmet and googles still top off the area. As a bonus the bins give the bag a bit more upright sturdiness. Without the bins it seemed to collapse to the middle. Still tweaking it, but I believe I will enjoy my bargain boot bag. Next tweak might be the 'top' handle? It could use a bit more sturdiness. The very sturdy middle (front) handle will likely be my choice for toting.

This bag is ideal for skiing equipment. The bag has designated pockets for boots on either size with vents. This bag also fits all of my other ski items that I need, like my helmet, gloves, winter hat, another pair of shoes, and makeup. The bag can be worn like a backpack which makes it easy when walking to and from the car to the lodge, and you can still carry your skis while wearing it. I love how this bag is easy to clean and the vents help keep it from smelling. The inside of the bag also has a spot to attach keys so you won't lose them. I have been using this since 2021 (it is now 2024) and it is in perfect condition still.

Great Bag! I was a little leery of buying my boot bag online. When it comes to my ski equipment I am more of a hands on type of person. However, this bag was on sale and it already had great reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. Not only does it fit my boots (my boot size is 30) in the boot pockets on each side, but I can also fit in the center area, my helmet, ski pants, gloves, mask etc. There are also a number of smaller pockets where I can fit in other items to bring along i.e. lock for the skis, extra change and phone charger etc. One of my favorite features are the straps that allow you to carry it as a backpack. These make it a whole lot easier to carry your gear, especially when I am trying to also keep my two boys by my side with their equipment.

Really biking and holds all my gear. Seems to be good quality. Cant wait to use it next ski season

Traveling out west in a couple weeks and I needed a boot bag to travel. Opened up the package and couldn't believe the quality of the bag. It's good and sturdy, holds my boots great, and has lots of room for storing the rest of my ski gear! I have been keeping everything in a backpack, and was able to move everything I need to my boot bag (and there's still room! 2 pairs of gloves, 2 pairs of mittens, a hat, be k gaiter, balaclava, 2 pairs goggles, ski straps, hand/toe warmers, my swimsuit and my go pro & accessories). I also love the backpack design. Great bag for a pretty darn good price. I'm super happy with my purchase, and I'm glad I chose this bag. Looks like it's gonna work perfect!
