Looking for a new boot bag given I'm having to haul all my gear as well as some of my junior racer's stuff as well.
Currently using a Dakine Boot Locker type bag, it's big and things fit but being over the shoulder is getting old when schlepping multiple sets of skis and such to base lodge. I like the helmet to be carried inside the bag as well as the boots to be zipped up in their own compartments (not interested in the side carry for boots as I like to keep them warm and out of the elements).
I know there are a few options, but one of the big issues I have is that many tend not to be big enough to fit back armor without having to bend it...rather not have those VPD pads staying in that bent position if not required. That combined with inside helmet and boot carry limits options.
So far I see the Lange Racer Bag (Rossi Athlete Bag) or possibly the Atomic 68L bag to work. Transpack has the comp pro I read about here that would also do the job (tougher to get in Canada).
Sounds silly to ask about a boot bag, but curious given the number of masters racers and the like here what some thoughts might be.
