Great Ski Bag Feb 23, 2007
By Chris Lewis
"ArchiChris"
The SportTube has met all of my expectations. I needed one that would hold 2 pairs of skis and poles, which it does beautifully. Add to that the wheels for easy rolling and, best of all, the fact that the tube's length can be adjusted so that it will accommodate whatever length skie one has. This is especially great as, now that ski lengths are sized so much smaller than in the past, a typical ski bag would have over 12" of wasted bag at the end of my 163cm skis. After 2 ski trips with it, it shows no damage, and appears to be pretty "bullet-proof".
The SkiTube really consists of two pvc/plastic tubes, one slightly smaller in diameter than the other that slide, one inside the other. It has a built-in handle that is quite long, to facilitate easy gripping for lifting/pulling. It has a TSA acceptable closure/lock, and will also accommodate various keyed or combination locks (not included).
The SkiTube comes with a shoulder strap that attached to the handle, but I found the SkiTube a bit cumbersome to carry (although no moreso than a regular ski bag). An optional handle to attach to the end of the tube to facilitate pulling is offered as an option, but I did not get this and so far, have not wanted for it either.
The only drawback to the SkiTube is that, since it is rigid, it can't be folded up like a regular ski bag, and so takes up quite a bit of space. However, dealing with the storage issue is insignificant, compared to the security, protection, and ease of transport that it offers.

pretty good ski hard case Mar 21, 2006
By TS
"Ruffus"
Just did two road trips with this case, carrying 5 pair of Nordic race skis and 5 pair of poles. The longest skis were 207cm, (the wheels are recessed into the bottom of case and do take out some space, so 5 pair of 207's wouldn't fit). Also at that length the case is extended very close to it's maximum so it starts to act like a hinge in the center which is unfortunate when your packing light weight nordic racing equipment that needs more support. The case comes with one clevis pin to connect the two telescoping halves and the alignment of the holes doesn't allow for a second. I stiffened up the center by drilling and adding a second pin. On our last trip I saw several of these cases and mine was the only one that got munched in the airport conveyor belt, two out of four corners were caved in a bit but no broken equipment. The wheels and center handle both worked fine. Bottom line: This case will be great as is for typical alpine equipment. For long classic racing skis, I would buy it again but it would be nice to see it evolve a little by stiffening up the center connection and reinforcing the corners.

Useful travel tool for Skis! Jan 18, 2008
By John Matthews Probably the best thing about this over soft case ski bags is the sturdy construction combined with the stable wheels at the back. This allows the unit to be very easily towed along - I just wish that for the money they also included the handle that you have to buy separately. Holds two sets of skis comfortably and with some thought you can pack clothes etc in some of the void spaces.

Sportube - good protection May 17, 2007
By Beth L. Rush The case is a little gangly to work with at first but it does a nice job of fitting and protecting the skis. Why don't the just include the $5 handle?
With the wheels it makes for easier transport.

Great way to transport snow skis Feb 08, 2010
By L. Allen I bought the Sport Tube Double Ski Case to transport two sets of skis. It works very well with the airlines and it is under their 50 pound limit (with 2 pair of skis and poles) so you don't have to worry about incurring additional charges. I have flown on 4 flights with it and it is showing very little wear. I would suggest the optional handle. This does make it easier to pull on long walks to the parking garage.
