SPLIT ROLLER BAG 85L

It's the 4th bag I've bought from Dakine and they always keep their high quality standards.

I will revisit this once I actually get a chance to use it but I wanted to put out some info about how this packs and initial thoughts. I bought this primarily because the hard case I generally use isn't great for helmets and larger items. I did a test pack and came out with a great impression. It fit all of my normal items for a week ski trip and wasn't a pain to close up. All of this was under 35lbs - Top outer pocket - ski helmet, gloves, gaiter, two pairs of goggles, some extra space for other thin items. Helmet fits perfectly. Top lower pocket - outer shell, inner jacket, ski pants, backpack for trails. Could probably get one or two more garments in here. My ski boots don't fit (size 11 regular shoe) but kids boots and snowboard boots would easily fit here. Main pocket - 3 sets of base layers (pants and shirts), 6 t shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, sweatpants, 3 sweaters, 7 pairs of socks, 9 pairs of underwear, two toiletry bags, mini message gun. Room to spare for maybe two more sweaters. I've had a dakine boot bag for over 10 years and it has held up great - granted I only carry it on. I was looking at both this and the osprey shuttle but can't justify spending over $200 on a suitcase. At first glance and modest testing the build quality on this suitcase seems very good - the zippers seem thick and robust, the front materials seem thick enough to handle some throwing by baggage handlers, and the "base" flaps in the outer bottom pocket are more robust than I expected to keep the bag in its shape as well as provide some protection for items placed in that pocket. The bag stayed upright easily with my test pack. All of the handles felt strong and we're in convenient locations to grab from - I swung the bag around from all of the handles and it gave me some confidence that it could be handled roughly. The handle easily and re/de-tracts when fully loaded - I like that it has 3 heights and fully retracts into the bag so there's less of a chance of damage. The buckles are also a great feature that take some strain off of the main zipper and they seemed to have good seams and are of high quality. TLDR: positive first impressions for someone primarily using this for multiday skintrips.

This bag is amazing. Fits everything and more. Great for long trips especially when planning to shop at your destination

So far so good, we’ll see how long it lasts with the airline baggage handlers beating on it.

Somewhat disappointed had great expectation for thes duffle. Durability it’s not great, after just two flights one of the corners shows wear(pic). Design it’s really good and has a very good size for long trips. In the value for money category I’ll wait and see if their costumer service is in the same level as a $300 luggage and will update the review or down grade it to 1 star.
