Chris's Review

4 out of 8 people found this review helpful

Summary:

If you are a traveling snowboarder there is no excuse to not have this bag, it's the only bag you will ever need (other than the High Roller to carry your board).

2004 Update: It is important to note that this bag weighs 10-15 lbs on its own. As the airlines have all lowered their allowed luggage weight, think twice before packing this bag to the gills. I'm not going to dock points from the original score, but I hope that Dakine can find a way to drop the weight on the future models of this bag.

Review:
The Dakine 60/40 Split Roller is the High Roller's life-mate. This bag is large enough to carry all of your gear plus three or four other people's gear, too. Actually, the trick is not carrying so much gear in it that the airlines will let it on the flight. Dakine made the Split Roller easy to load by making it open like a briefcase, and load it we did. For the SIA tradeshow trip, this bag carried a weeks worth of clothes, snowboard gear for two days for both myself, and Maggie, all of our promotional info and 15 SBG t-shirts, and a few other bits and pieces. I was slightly worried about how the bag would handle flying around with 70lbs in it, but it came back with hardly a mark on it.

The bag is reinforced in all of the right places, and even has a set of cinch straps so that the zipper does not have any pressure on it. Luckily, the bag does have rollers and a handle, so transporting it around, even fully loaded, really isn't very difficult. It is super compartmentalized so you can separate all of your gear to help organize it.
