Think of this as a “tool roll for your toys.” The Volkl Race 4pair Ski Bag is a padded envelope style bag designed to accommodate 4 pairs of skis up to 230 cm in length, but rather than zipping shut like a conventional bag, and depending on compression straps to keep the load from shifting, this bag rolls up, like a tool roll, and then is secured by compression straps, for a four ski carry that is much less likely to shift in transit. It’s an impressive design for those carrying a quiver of race sharpened skis and can’t afford to have them shifting or bouncing around in transit. Three wrap around compression straps with easy snap buckles secure the roll for a trim design. This bag is designed for in-vehicle carry, it lacks the structure (or wheels) you’d want for plane or train travel, but for what it is designed to do, it is most effective. In a hatchback or longbed this can be laid flat on the floor allowing you to slide skis into a secure pocket, protecting the car and other gear from sharp edges. It’s a unique design in ski portage that fits a niche for those traveling to and from race day in a private car where you want to protect the car, the skis, and the other gear, from the edges you need to make your way into the winners’ circle.
