With the capacity to carry two planks (sans bindings) and fully-padded protection, the Burton Wheelie Gig Bag keeps your quiver protected while you follow the pow. The burly 600D polyester fabric won’t tear to shreds when it travels the harrowing journey from check-in to baggage claim, and the outer boot/binding pocket organizes your shred gear.
We use this bag for all our regional demo days. We force this bag to hold around 18 to 20 boards. For recreational use it will easily fit a couple decks, a pair of boots, and a pair of bindings. The outside pocket is perfect of tools or any miscellaneous product.
It will fit, so will your boots and bindings. The next size is the 181 cm bag. Get this bag, if it doesn't fit return it and get a bigger size. Great bag for sure.
Surfing all over the net, Backcountry had the best price! I have a 156 Rome, and purchased a 166 bag which fits all my equipment. I can't wait to take it to Killington over Presidents day weekend! Highly recommend this bag!

the length comes in three sizes...so it depends on the size you get. lb do you mean lbs as in pounds. you can fit a lot of weight. We fit 16 boards in this bag for demo days. How ever that much weights is how many lbs it can hold.
We bought two of these bags before our Heliboarding trip to BC. We took 4 boards and removed the bindings. We put 1 board each in both of the bags just in case one of the bags was lost. These bags worked great, easy to get around in the airport. I'd like to see a few more interior pockets for tools and such, hence the 4 star rating. If you are just traveling in the car then stuff some clothing in with the boards. The bag itself is padded fairly well but there is plenty of room to pack clothing and other supplies. Highly recommended.
I have recently bought a Burton Custom V-Rocker 156 and I am looking at getting a Wheelie Gig bag, is the 156 size big enough to fit a 156 board or is it too snug?
No, it has more than enough room. Don't worry about that at all. It may be wise to size up on the board bag incase you ever get a bigger board to go slay some powder.
It took 3 attempts but I finally found the bag I was looking for. I travel via air and had great experiences with this so far. Padded well - Check! Spacious - Check! Center Grab handle - Check! Shoulder Strap - Check! Wheels - Check! Outer pocket - Check! Durable - Check! Stylish - Check!
I can fit my board (164 Burton Custom wide) with bindings attached, helmet, boots (size 13), board pants and jacket, base layer, 2 pairs of goggles, gloves, and still have some room to spare for hoodies. This is the way to go!
Probably not with the bindings on the board. But it would hold a board and mounted ski's for sure. Just make sure and buy the longest length bag to accomodate the ski length.
This is by far the best snowboard bag I have ever had. I have used this bag on two trips now and have had no problems.
I originally had the burton wheelie locker (bigger is not better) The bag was good but not for travel. It was too heavy and had to pay extra for heavy bag fee at the airport.
I now use my wheelie gig bag with the burton riders bag. Between the two bags there is plenty of room for all of my snowboad gear and outerwear plus 4 or 5 days worth of clothing. The wheelie gig bag alone is enough for my board, boots helmet, gear and outerwear.
This bag is easy to carry on the shoulder thanks to the extra thick shoulder pad. The wheels work well too but only on smooth surface. Its a little difficult to wheel bag on snow. I use this bag mainly for airline travel so its not a huge problem.
So i was assuming that when it said in the description "1 outer pocket, binding/boot" That you would be able to fit your boots and or bindings in the pocket....you cant fit one boot in the pocket let alone both bindings or both boots.
Its a nice bag, and did the trick, just dissapointed the outside pocket is basically useless aside from holding small tools and such.
sorry about that man. That pocket is in no way made for a boots or bindings. It is a small tool pocket or stash pocket thats about it. Upgrade to the Wheelie board case or the locker.
We use this bag for all our regional demo days. We force this bag to hold around 18 to 20 boards. For recreational use it will easily fit a couple decks, more...
