Amazon.com Product Description Blow molded from high density polyethylene, this lightweight and durable travel ski case from SporTube will safely transport two pairs of skis. The case is designed to protect your valuable winter sports equipment from bumps and scratches while going through airline check-ins or shipping. A hard plastic shell offers superior protection over a soft bag and creates a shield around the equipment, protecting its contents much better than a nylon bag. The hard shell plastic doesn't tear and is resilient to dings and bangs. There are no buckles, zips or permanently attached straps to get ripped, torn, or broken.
All Sportube cases are fitted with heavy duty rubber wheels for an easy journey from the car to check-in or from the car to the hotel or cabin. Sportube's designs and size meet recent changes in ski design and the Sportube now fits all ski/binding systems. The easy pull-attachment point and the easy pull handle make toting your equipment around a breeze. Sportube case are supplied with a non-locking, TSA-compliant wire case pin, and they can be locked for overseas travel or when shipping to the resort. Sportubes can easily be strapped to any roof rack, protecting your equipment from road salt, dirt, and grime.
About Sportube Situated high in the Rocky Mountain ski town of Vail, Colorado, Highland Trading Co. Inc. has been a distributor of ski travel cases since 1991. After working for four months with technical engineers and design consultants, the Sportube brand was conceived, manufactured, and launched in 1996 with the introduction of both a single and double ski case with wheels. Based on the proven success of the single and double cases, the Sportube line expanded in 1998 with the launch of the much requested snowboard case and again in 2001 with the introduction of the Master Series fly rod cases. Sportube continues to be an innovator and leader in providing convenient travel options for sports enthusiasts.
It performed as advertisedJanuary 7, 2009 With the airlines charging for every bag, doubling up our skis saved us $50 (but, of course, cost us $140, so the direct payback is yet to come.) But the SporTube probably more than paid for itself the first time we used it, as there was a big dent in the case when we got to baggage claim. Evidently the airline had dropped something big on it and dented it. I could push the dent out, but it clearly would have damaged the skis, and the SporTube protected them.
Great for shippingJanuary 6, 2009 Worked as advertized. Great for shipping skis UPS which is much easier than carring through airport.
SporTube Series 2April 5, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The SporTube 2 is perfect for 2 sets of skis and poles. The rollers help provide a smooth ride while walking through the airport. The SporTube also helped to cut down on the number of bags which is big help and may pay for itself as some airlines begin to charge for more than 2 bags per person...
Useful travel tool for Skis!January 18, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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 protectionMay 17, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
