Choosing the right bag for skiing and snowboarding trips
Custom made duffel bags http://www.custom-duffel-bags.com/ Choosing the right bag for skiing and snowboarding trips Finding the right gear is vital for skiers and snowboarders whether they’re seasoned pros or taking to the slopes for the very first time. Bindings, boots, goggles and all manner of technical clothing will dominate most shopping lists but what many people don’t consider is how they’re hauling it to the mountain in the first place. Winter sports equipment costs a lot of money so it’s important to protect it in transit. Before anyone sets foot on the slopes, they should spare some time to think about their luggage. Bags for skis will require many of the same materials as bags for snowboards, but the differences lie in the dimensions, accessories and padding. Snowboarding bags will of course be much shorter than skiing bags to fit the additional width of the snowboard. This type of design means that only snowboarding bags tend to be suited to having additional pockets big enough to accommodate boots as well. If you have short skis, it would be worth looking for a specially designed bag rather than trying to fit them into something designed for a board.Padded or not? There are pros and cons to both padded and unpadded bags. For anyone travelling by air, padding is essential as it is possible that airport staff won’t be as careful with your precious gear as you might be. Typical padding could be up to 10mm of a material such as foam rubber and should protect the skis or snowboard from end to end, just in case an overzealous employee gives them some air when transferring them to the plane. If your bag is designed to carry two pair of skis, there should be a protective divider to ensure that they don’t scratch each other or collide during transportation. Padded shoulder straps will also make life much easier when carrying.All this padding can add unnecessary expense to your bag if it is not being exposed to the elements or baggage handlers. For merely keeping gear safe in the back of the car or storing it while not in use, an unpadded bag would be ample. These have the added benefit of being easier to fit onto roof racks and into storage areas. If you ever do decide to check one of these types of bags at the airport, perhaps in an emergency, it might be wise to stuff whatever manner of socks, pants and smart-wool garments you have at your disposal into the bag to provide additional protection for your equipment. Airlines poorly handling luggage is a well known problem. Bag fasteningSeveral other design considerations should be taken into account, such as the type of seal the bag utilizes. The humble zipper is often overlooked but can strongly influence the strength of the bag. Buckles or drawstrings have their place, but a rigid heavy duty zipper works well because when a bag is over packed, the zipper automatically becomes the weak point. Having a sturdy seal will always keep the contents intact. Indeed, attention to detail with small elements such as this is indicative of the workmanship for the entire product, particularly when it comes to the stitches. The best gear bags for skis and snowboards often have more than one row of stitching. Piping will also add strength to the bag’s seams. Buying the right bag can be a money saving exercise with many benefits throughout a trip. For example, anyone bringing their own gear with them to the mountain saves lots on renting ski equipment when they get there. This is a great way to cut costs on a holiday as even poles and gloves can prove quite expensive when rented near the slopes. Another option is to purchase a suitably durable bag, which will not only survive this season’s snow but also ski holidays 2014 and beyond as well. A material with a high denier count should prove long lasting and endure as long if not longer than the equipment it’s carrying. How the bag will be used is just as important and this will depend on the contents. Bags with wheels can be useful if travelling with a whole family’s equipment, but unless they have snow tires, they might not be that useful at the destination. ...read more

Buying a Duffel bag
Buying a Duffel Bag You need to decide what your using it for. Short trips, hunting, fishing, gym the list goes on. Then you need to find a size that will fit your needs. These kind of bags are quite interesting because of the added accessories. Like the adjustable shoulder straps, pockets inside or outside, foam rubber liner to protect what you have in it, plastic liner for moister or dirty shoes, handles, zipper out side pockets. I have a couple of duffel bags that I use. I have a medium size one that is bright red that I use for overnight and weekend trips. The bright red makes it easy to spot, not that I am checking my luggage very often for weekend trips. For longer trips, I have a pair of large duffel bags that I use. I usually start out with one fully packed and roll the second one up in the first. Once I am at my destination I use the second duffel bag to put all my dirty laundry in. This bag is also where I pack breakable gifts and what not, because the dirty clothes work well as extra cushioning and padding. One of these bags is bright orange (same reason, easy to see and one of a kind) and the other is dark blue. http://duffel-bags.yolasite.com/ ...read more
