Stash your quiver in the Burton Wheelie Gig Bag and get ready to surf the pow or ride the rails. This rolling snowboard bag holds two planks (with bindings removed) so you're set for whatever snow conditions you encounter. If you're only traveling with one board, pack the board with bindings attached in the Wheelie Gig Bag. Full padding protects your boards, so you don't have to give the baggage handlers threatening looks, and an outer boot/binding pocket holds extra gear. Thanks to the custom skate wheel assembly, it's easy to roll the Burton Wheelie Bag through the airport, across the parking lot, and into the ski lodge. The zipper pulls fit TSA-approved locks (not included). *Available for US shipment only.**DISCONTINUED**

Bottom Line: The Burton Wheelie Gig Bag holds two snowboards or one board with bindings for your shredding vacations.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Can hold ALOT of stuff. I have fit in 3 or 4 boards, two sets of bindings, helmet, gloves, jacket and a bunch of other stuff. The only downside is that it is not super padded, so try to put anything along the edges of your board to protect it if flying. United somehow smashed the edge of my board in about 1/8" last year flying from JH to denver. Looks like the smacked the edge on a rail or something.

However, I have flown on 4 trips with this bag, and it is still holding up well.

Durability? Great Burton Warranty? Not Here

By:
February 17, 2009

Bought this bag two days before a trip out west - please note this bag is advertised as a bag designed for air travel, and to endure the rigors associated with it...this bag tore the very first trip on which I ever used it, even though I wrapped the board in blankets, etc.

I inquired to Burton about a repair or replacement and they basically gave me a big F.U. (didn't even respond to my email, and told my local supplier to simply tell me too bad) - evidently their warranty policy has changed and this situation is now the buyers problem

IMO, Burton has gotten so big they no longer care about the individual buyers - needless to say I will no longer be purchasing Burton products, and I suggest you stay away from this one until they revisit the design/manufacture process for this bag and improve it to withstand the use it is designed/advertised for

Test 1: 1Man/1 Board/3+ Days

By:
April 16, 2009

Current contents: 181 Bag
-3 Shell jackets
-1 Synthetic inulation jacket (BULKY)
-2 Shell Pants
-1 Synthetic insulation pant (BULKY)
-1 Helmet
-2 Goggles
-1 Pair Boots
-1 Snowboard (155) with bindings attached
-Total weight: 40 Lbs.

-I dont know about you but when i go on a trip i usually just bring one board and all my chothes cuz c'mon, stuff does get wet. Now granted i didnt bring everything for an exteded trip but there was plety room to spare for little things like beanies and bandanas and tools, definitly, maybe even a softshell and a few baselayers...i just packed the essentials.

-Also im not an ulrtalight hiker or anything and i like my stuff baggy so everything in there is pretty bulky and heavy and it still all fit very nicley...no extreme measures were used to pack; no stuff sacks, no vaccum bags, no sitting on the bag and zipping it up, but everything is just simply folded nicley. this is a HUGE bag

Very Nice bag...well constructed!

By:
November 7, 2008

This is my second board bag. First was an entry level Burton and I was happy with that bag except it was not big enough for two boards. I always buy Burton when I can afford it these days and this bag did not disappoint. I needed to fit both my 166cm board and my son's 100cm board in it without removing the bindings! This bag allowed me to do that and put both our boots in between the two board to protect the bindings. Another thing you don't see much...the inside of the bag is as well constructed as the outside of the bag. I'm going to use this bag to Fedex my boards to/from my CO hotel since it is cheaper to do that vs. paying the airline $100 for their oversized bag charge!

Takes you to any Gig

By:
May 5, 2009

If your gig is slashing pow all over, then this bag works. I used to have an old board bag which was tough to carry and the edges ripped through the bag. I flew to Lake Tahoe and drove out to Crested Butte this winter and the bag was durable and easy in the airport. The 166 fit three snowboards, two bindings, one pair of boots, and even had room for a jacket and pants. The bag is well padded and is lined to keep contents safe from variable weather conditions wether its rain or snow. I highly recommend this bag!

Decent

By:

This is your basic snowboard bag. I bought the 166 and I could easily fit 3-5 snowboards in it (w/o bindings). Wheels are a thicker plastic and are designed for use in airports.
My only gripe is with the zippers. They are a cheap plastic and both snapped with just a couple uses. Easily fixed but wimpy construction nonetheless.

I have to get a bag for my board, would like to know the difference

I have to get a bag for my board, would like to know the difference between the Burton wheelie gig bag and the Burton board case. I would also like to know what size of bag I should get if the board I ride is a 156? cheers jason

Get 166 for a 156 board. And, both have wheels, if Jason mentioned wheelie board case and wheelie gig bag. The difference between wheelie gig bag and wheelie board case is how many boards and stuffs you can pack in. And material of wheelie board case is stronger and more solie to protect board when traveling.

THE BEAST!

By:
April 25, 2009

Geeze this thing is huge (181 bag)...i took a 2 day trip to snowbird and was able to bring 1 board with bindings, and everything else i could possibly need for two days on and off the snow, no carry on!...no hassle, and i wasnt worried about any of my stuff cuz its nicley padded. the bag itself weighs 5 pounds, and it was supprisingly easy to stay under the 50 pound limit. Shoulder strap is just kinda peice of crap, uncomfortable and the padding pointless, but thats why it has wheels, which are very convienent. The board has no spine which is bad when youre using it, because rollin can be akward, but great when youre not using it because it can fold into thirds and put away...its a good, not great, bag

Big bag, skateboard wheels not "fruit booter" wheels

By:
April 30, 2009

Nice big bag. Skateboard wheels make it more stable and less clunky on the sidewalk cracks than the standard roller blade wheels. I am excited to use this new bag after Delta Airlines destroyed my other snowboard bag. They replaced it... luckily nothing else was destroyed. current scores is Delta Airlines 0 padded bags 1.

Note to travelers avoid the Atlanta International Airport at any cost. Delta destroyed two new snowboard bags on the trip home and both bags where completely soaked on the destination flight. (still dripping water after a 11 hour flight and 4 hour bus ride) all the contents inside were soaked as well.

What do the different sizes mean?

They're different sizes. Longer boards need longer bags. Buy a bag that's longer than your board.

ok...just ok

purchased in dec for my trip to jackson hole. fit everything needed and everything went there and back to san diego unharmed...however.. coming off the plain i noticed a hole/tear the size of the dime on the ass end of the bag (by the wheels)it was the thin material at the "hinge" area of the top cover, opposite of the zipper. the material is thinner in this area acts as a hinge to ease the opening of the top( i assume) i liked the locking pulls and the red plaid however i was dissapointed with the quality..great for the price tho, if this doesnt happen to you

Held up well!!

By:
March 2, 2009

I just returned from a Detroit-to-Utah-and-back trip and used this bag to hold my board, boots, helmet, and lots of extra layers. It held everything so that all I had to pack otherwise was a small carry-on! I did purchase a luggage strap to wrap around the middle, just in case, but despite a little wear-and-tear on the fabric, this bag held up great, the wheels were super helpful and it was the perfect size to hold lots of gear and THEN some. Highly recommended, esp if you can catch in on Brociety for $40!!!

Great bag for air travel

By:
December 9, 2008

I got a 166cm bag and it was the perfect size for my 161 board. There was plenty of room for my boots, jacket, pants, backpack and everything else I needed for a long weekend trip, all without having to remove my bindings. Since the bag is large enough to fit all my gear, it means I only have to check this one bag. The wheels are a necessity if you're going to be doing any amount of air travel, because hauling something like that through an airport would be a real pain. My only wish is that the bag had more of a backbone or spine so that it's still functional without a board in it. As it is now, the bag is difficult to roll around without a board to provide the necessary structure.

Appreciated the quick service on the order. No hassles, and fast delivery, even though it was the Christmas season. Looks like a quality bag. Have to leave the rest of the rating up to my daughter's fiance, as it was his gift. Thanks.
