This is the best boot bag I have ever used, until I bought the Kulkea Thermal Trekker. This bag has room for everything and a size that is manageable. It is very well built. I did have a problem with a tear in the stitching in the seperating material between the front and top compartment after about 35 days on the slopes. I contacted Kulkea customer service and sent pictures. They replaced my bag free of charge. What amazing and responsive customer service. I would recommend anything from this company. Well thought out and well built products with great customer support. You can't ask for much more.

This is a well made, well designed... should I even say well engineered bag. Finally someone put real thought into designing a 100% usable boot bag. I started off with a Dakine brand bag with deployable boot carrying straps, at least that is what they called them. Ugh. This bag by Kulkea is just simply the best. The construction is top notch. The heavy duty vinyl bottom wipes clean of mud etc. should you need to set it down in the parking lot. The individual boot pockets are roomy and easy to load/unload. This is so not the case with strap based boot carry systems. My helmet and googles fit nicely inside the rear pouch with additional room for socks, underwear and a T-shirt as well. There is even a deploy-able helmet carrier should you need that interior room for something else. (Kitchen Sink?) The large center pouch accessed from the top is roomy enough for ski pants, jacket, gloves, a pair of jeans and perhaps a beverage too. This will be a snug fit but totally doable. Extra zippered storage areas on the hypotenuse side of each boot pouch are large enough for lunch or other goodies which are better when not crushed in a main compartment. The carry handle and shoulder straps are both substantial and comfortable and the padded waist strap is perfect with short wide (read tangle resistant) webbing to a sturdy plastic clip just as you would expect to see on a high end backpack. I know its more money than other options, but if you can make this reach the Kulkea Boot Trekker is a way better value than the cheaper options I tried. I also looked a the Swix bag of this ilk. The Swix bag is larger (too large for me) but also had thoughtful design features. The Kulkea however still fits into a standard school size locker with a little shoving. That nice wipe-able waterproof bottom is stiff when brand new thus the required shove and push to get the the locker door closed. Thanks Kulkea for such a nice thoughtful bag.

Very well designed. I like having a place for everything and having everything in it's place. This bag delivers! At first I thought too many compartments. No more. I have used it only twice, but love it. Socks and warmers in one pocket, gloves in another, trail maps and product in another, clothes in the large compartment accessed from the top and helmet and head/faceguard in large front pocket. All separated and protected from pockets for the (wet) ski boots. Change in the lodge and put clothes and boots in the bag where it belongs, then change back at end of day. Strap it all on your back for walking from car to ski lodge and back again. I have everything I need for the year in this bag. Extra socks, first layers, hand and toe warmers, etc. Minor qualms: The front access pocket was a little tight to get the helmet in. It shows you can strap helmet to bag. I found that to be awkward, but if you had a real lot of stuff, might be nice. Also the top opening was a little small and not real easy to get cloths in and out. This bag is not cheap. I bought two other brands that were close to 1/3 the cost. They were nice, but not nearly as nice as this. It is very well designed, and from my inspection ruggedly made. Time will tell if it holds up, but I am confident it will.

Great bag, good quality, lots of helpful nooks and crannies.It does fit oddly to my back tho, could be my longer torso than usual.Seems like bag should be a bit longer, feels a bit like a fanny pack between my shoulder blades.

This bag is seriously well-constructed. So much so that we can hand off to the airlines as luggage and there is not even a scratch, so to speak. Boots are protected, but the many interior zippered pockets are the real surprise. We can pack so much ski stuff into the bag (ski pants, gloves, neck warmers, helmet and goggles, etc) that we minimize our luggage to one other piece (beyond skis). This is actually the third bag that we have purchased for the family. For local ski trips, we can reduce the weight and the bag is perfect for bringing ski stuff into the lodge (pre-Covid).

I bought this bag at a local ski shop for my son and liked it so much I got on Amazon and ordered one for myself. I was use to using this gigantic ski bag that took up the entire back of the SUV. These bags have all the room you need for an overnight ski trip. Good material and creative pockets for goggles, gloves and goggles. I also like the creative helmet holder. I'm actually buying a third bag for a friend. Oh and you can carry it on your bag too. Don't hesitate buy this gag it works great.

I bought the Kulkea mid-season and have loved it ever since. There is tons of room for my boots (29.5) and all of my other gear. That is saying something, since I'm 6'4". I was a bit concerned that there wouldn't be enough room inside of the bag for me to check my helmet along with everything else, but it fits inside the front, zippered pocket. I've checked the bag 4 times now and it has held up very well. I wish there were a bit more padding on the outsides around the boots, but I've just been sure to pack some base layers around the outsides. You can't go wrong with this pack.

My old boot bag was falling apart and the Kulkea Boot Trekker is by far and away a better bag. The design is far superior and the backpack feature is outstanding.I purchased the Kulkea from Alpine East in Dover NH, which was delivered on time and included a very thoughtful note. I will look to do business with them again as they are a first-class operation.

Traveled across the dolomites with it and would highly recommend this boot bag! Genius and clever design! High quality all round. Zippers are smooth and ergonomic. Tons of storage. Helmet sling is perfect and can hold it inside aswell. Even the large Giro Spherical. Organization and Glove pockets are perfect.

Great ski boot and gear bag. Well thought out. A place for everything and everything can be in its place. The actual boot pockets are a bit tight for bigger boots (338 mm or greater). However, one adjusts and learns how to more easily extract the boots from the bag.
