Nobody checks a ski bag through with just skis in it, but you’d never know that by the way they’re made, tubes of fabric, with some padding, a tie down strap0 The Kulkea Kantaja is the ski bag for reality, the bag that knows you pack everything you can in and around your skis before hauling off to baggage check. A fully padded yet lightweight wide-mouth ski bag with separate tie downs to secure the poles from the skis and four, count them four, large internal stretch pockets for stowing gear separately from the skis. So go ahead stuff this bag, get those layering pieces out of your carry on so you can bring some glad rags for après ski. A great bag designed for the way we really pack a ski bag.
