Why this gift works
The Athalon Everything Boot Bag (#330) is a backpack-style ski boot bag about 17 x 15 x 14 inches. Two zippered side compartments take one boot each - retailers list fits up to about a men's size 13 - and the expanding center section holds a helmet, jacket or accessories. It is water-resistant polyester with a waterproof PVC bottom and drainage grommets, and the padded backpack straps tuck away when not in use.
Carrying boots, helmet, gloves and goggles from a parking lot is the least fun part of a ski day. A bag that holds all of it on the back leaves hands free for skis and poles, and it keeps wet boots away from everything else in the car.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A skier who juggles boots and helmet across the parking lot
- Someone who drives to a different mountain every weekend
Think twice if
- They keep their boots in a locker at the hill
- They want something small and light
The catch
It is bulky and heavy for a backpack, and some reviewers reported the top carry handle breaking - Athalon's warranty is five years, not lifetime.
Skip for someone who already owns a boot bag they like, or who leaves their boots in a slopeside locker all season.

What to look for in a ski boot bag
- Separate boot pockets. Side compartments keep wet boots away from gloves and goggles.
- Backpack straps. Straps free both hands for skis and poles.
- Drainage. A waterproof base with drain holes stops melted snow pooling.
- Size. Check boot size limits and carry-on limits if they fly.
