The single ski bag by Nordica features a rigid reinforced bottom which seems a minor detail but is, in fact, a major convenience when carrying and loading this bag. No sag and poor distribution of your ski’s weight, the skis are supported by the base, making this much easier and more secure to carry. A front pocket for ID and small essentials and lockable sliders for added security allow you to pack this with more than just your skis and poles. And you should consider packing this bag to its full 120 liter capacity. By using Dry Bags to protect your clothing you can snug down jackets, base layers, socks, extra sweaters, and other soft essentials, around your skis. Dry bags protect your clothing from sharp edges and damp on the return trip, and squeeze out excess air for added carrying capacity. Done right you can pack enough clothing protection around your skis and poles to reduce the remainder of your travel luggage to your ski bag and a modest carry on. And isn’t that everyone’s fondest desire? Not to pay for extra luggage? So take advantage of every spare inch after you’ve packed your skis by using dry bags at the top, bottom, and sides of your skis to pad the bindings and take up, and use, that excess space which would otherwise be going to waste.
