I've had this travel bag for a while now and have used it in 3 separate trips:Breckenridge,COBogus, IDPark City, UTOut of the 3 brands that I've tried (Dausroob, Extremus, and Outdoor Master) this was the best one. With this bag, I'm able to easily pack my boots, jacket, pants, helmet, gloves, goggles, 155cm snowboard, and Flow bindings (without removing them) (see pic). Having a 155cm snowboard, there is 2 inches of free space on both ends inside the bag (see pic). So, to take up the free space and to prevent the snowboard from moving, I pack my pants on one end and my jacket on the other end. Lastly, since the bag gets tossed around at the airport, I added a 3/4" foam pipe insulation that I bought from Home Depot to the edges of my snowboard (see pics). I then used scissors to cut the foam pipe insulation to fit the length of my snowboard.For first time travelers, since this is an oversized baggage, don't expect it to be loaded onto the Baggage Claim carousel, rather look for it at the Oversized Baggage claim area that looks like a ultra wide metal slide (see pic). When flying United, oversized baggage like this weighting under 30 pounds (my setup weighted 22 pounds), this was free along with your carry-on. Hope this helps.
