DAKINE Boot Locker - 4200cu in - 2009 BCS

Well made, reliable, enough space for gear. Compact, but not a carry-on luggage if you'll put a helmet in.

Got this bag a coupla years ago, and have been beating it up since. I've taken it to Tahoe 50+ days, and it still looks brand new. It's taken 2 trips to Jackson Hole with a layover each time and gorilla baggage handlers, and it's great. It's a good size, not huge. I can easily fit my gigantor boots in the bottom, and the top holds my helmet, goggles, jacket, two pairs of gloves, and some base layers. The way the bottom hinges out you can stand in the bottom of the bag while you're putting your boots on next to your car too. Shoulder strap is comfy, handles are nice, bag is great. Pick one up.

I bought this bag figuring it would carry my boots, goggles, gloves, hat, jacket, pants. Once I loaded everything up I realized I still had room to fit my helmet, base layer, insulation layer. An overnight kit and some extra clothes. The build on this is top notch, durable outter fabrics with nice waterproof tarp lining. The shoulder strap is padded and textured for comfort and non-slipability. Overall a great product to keep all of your gear in one place

Love this bag. 29.5cm Technica Agent 110 boots fit nicely in lower/zippered boot compartment.

Recommend you think about how you want to use the bag. In my case, I never want my boots to go with checked baggage. I always bring them as carry-on. And this is a great bag for that. But if you load up the upper section as some have acknowledged you can, there's no way to get it in the overhead compartment of the plane (and then the flight attendant will take it from you and check it .. bad). In my case, I carried a second pair of (juvey) Nordica boots, a couple of miscellaneous items, and it was fine in the overhead. It was getting a little on the heavy side, though. Helped to have a rollaboard to wheel it around.

If, on the other hand, you're comfortable checking your boots with the airlines, then yes... knock yourself out and load this puppy up. Lots of room for helmet, goggles, clothing.

Build quality (and smart design) is what I've come to expect from Dakine packs/luggage.

I got this bag for Christmas and just packed it up, and I have to say, it is awesome! I fit my size 14 boots in the bottom with room to spare. Then in the top I put my pants, 4 pairs of gloves, 2 hats, 2 goggles, 2 face masks, and 2 pairs of socks. and i didn't even come close to filling it up. there was so much room left in the boot section, i could fit my gloves, hats, and socks easily down there if i wanted. if I got creative (i.e. packing things inside my boots) i think i could pack for a long shred trip with just this bag. I could fit all of my snowboard gear just in the boot section leaving the entire top section for everything else. this is the perfect answer for storing all your gear.

Now I will have all my gear ready to go so I can hit the mountain as soon as I get off work and I don't have to worry about forgetting something!

Average ski day this puppy is filled with ski boots (27.5 fit no problem at all), helmet (smith vantage L), goggles (Zeal eclipse spx) in the accessory Dakine case, gloves (BD patrol), shell (arcteryx scorpion XL), synthetic downy (arcteryx atom sv L), light under layers, a water bottle and lunch...and the kitchen sink! This bag fits everything nicely. I always have room to spare. The material is durable and the straps make it easy to travel with. If I had to point out one thing which detracts from how nice this bag is, it would have to be the lack of a smaller pocket for keys and wallet. I bought the Dakine goggle case with it and it doubles for key/wallet storage while skiing. I would and have recommended to friends.

Used it on a trip to tahoe, it fit my helmet and gear nicely!! Really like the waterproof lining.

I use this bag every time I ski. It fits everything and then some. Easily fits boots, pants, jacket(s), helmet, gloves, goggles and some extra layers. Very durable. Great shoulder strap, its curved to make it more comfortable and easier to carry. The only thing this bag lacks is a small internal zippered pocket for keys, wallet, etc. Very minor issue though as the bag is bullet proof.

I put a ton of gear in here, It's like it goes to a different dimension in there, such a big bag. Fits my boots, pants, jacket, goggles, gloves, hats and my socks.

Tons of space in this thing. This last season I was able to make multiple trips with boots, helmet, good amount of ski clothes and the rest of my gear between this bag and a one ski bag. This guy fits carry-on size requirements as well so you don't get reemed by the airlines. Waterproof bottom compartment lets snow melt drain out and keeps all the rest of your gear dry at the same time. Even if you're not traveling this would still be my highest recommendation for a bag based just on the durability and space. And, its a freakin' steal at under $70.

My son has encouraged me to purchase this boot locker for over a year. I did purchase five of them. I was amazed, as everyone else, just how much room they have, and the storage space to carry other things beside the winter clothing. The quality looks good. I would purchase more, even just for travel purposes.

I bought 2 of these - 1 for my husband & 1 for me. They hold botts, pants, helmet, gloves, goggles, base layers. etc. Great size - large but sturdy and compact.

I bought this bag to hold all my ski stuff for trips with my college ski club. It is perfect! It holds my boots, jacket, snow pants, gloves, helmet and goggles with out a problem. I even took it to Utah for a ski trip, and it still looks like new after a round trip and being handled by the luggage people.

three pairs of bootsfor the flight to Alta.
Or one pair boots, all ski gear for one lady
for a day on the slopes. Helmet pants, googles gloves, socks.........

I love this bag. Boots go in the bottom (with a couple of nicely thought out drains in case you have to stash your boots wet) The top holds helmet, pants, gloves, neckwarmers, and probably my coat too, in a pinch. Its super nice having all my gear in one spot versus being strewn all over the back of the truck.

Love it! Fits my boots perfectly in the bottom with room to spare, and I can fit almost all my gear into the top.

The Dakine Boot Locker is a must if you ski or snowboard. It is exactly what it claims to be: a locker, and a full size one at that. The Boot Locker holds my ski boots, 2 helmets, 2 pairs of goggles in goggle cases, 2 pairs of gloves, and 3 beanies. And there is still enough room that I could fit a box of Powerbars and probably even fit an extra layer or light jacket. This is all you need besides your skis/poles or snowboard. Look no further if you want a do-all bag for all your gear!

Just used this bag on United Airlines to Tahoe. Even with its large size it counted as only 1 bag with a ski bag. Plenty of room for boots in the bottom compartment and helmet, goggles, gloves, and jacket in the top compartment. Good quality bag/zippers and easy to carry via the shoulder strap.

This is the second boot locker I've purchased as a gift. Now it's about time I get myself one! These are great bags to house all of your ski/board gear in one spot. And it's nice that the boots have their own compartment that is bascially waterproof and keeps everything else dry.
