Wheelie Gig Bag

Product Information

The Wheelie Gig Board Bag has fully padded board protection, meaning you know your snowboard’s safe while you get on with eating the complimentary in-flight cashews. The bag’s also got internal webbing straps to keep your board in place, meaning it won’t constantly be scratching on the inside surface of the bag. This bag is very well constructed to give you plenty of peace of mind that your gear will stay out of harm’s way when you travel. I don’t trust putting my favorite boards in every bag, but I’d throw even the most expensive option in this bag without worry.

Unfortunately I think you have to ask this question. I love the idea and I really like the design of the bag – but is it practical for lugging around airports? I’d have to say the answer is no. Read on. The Burton Wheelie Gig snowboard bag has a pretty affordable price, making it a solid value choice for anyone. There are cheaper bags out there, but I don’t think you’ll find an option for wheels at a better price. Dakine Low Roller Snowboard Bag: We love that this bag is lightweight and that it comes with a separate compartment for snowboard boots. However, the bag was slightly awkward to carry, and we wish it came with an interior strap to tie down a snowboard or a shoulder strap to transport it another way. Our Testing Process

PROTECT YOUR BOARD AND THE INTERIOR OF YOUR CAR WITH THIS SIMPLE STOWAGE SOLUTION.

It also comes with internal webbing straps that allow you to secure your boards in place and prevent them from moving around during travels. This is an important construction feature because even a little bit of movement can result in damage. Snowboard bags don’t need to be fancy to get the job done. I typically like a simple bag that doesn’t have many bells and whistles. The most important thing I look for is a solid construction to keep my precious boards safe and secure. If you take the board out of the bag and leave the rest of the gear in (for whatever reason), pulling the bag on its wheels becomes a problem

The Wheelie has side and front handles built right into it to carry the bag if you can’t roll it easily. These straps are rugged and will let you tug and pull without ripping or tearing. It’s another fantastic design element. Storage The Burton Wheelie Gig snowboard bag is a high-quality option that I thoroughly recommend for any snowboarder who travels often. It’s ideal for airplane trips and will keep your gear safe, secure, and ready for action no matter where you roam. Construction Our favorite snowboard bags were easy to carry, had a capacity that was just right, and, most importantly, protected our snowboards from damage during transit. When the testing was complete, each tester uncovered the price of their snowboard bag, compared the cost to its performance, and determined an overall value score.Known as Jake’s favourite, the Burton Wheelie Gig Board Bag is probably one of the most commonly seen snowboard bags at the airports. As we all know, our snowboard bags aren’t often handled with TLC by the baggage handlers. Because of this, it’s often reassuring to know that your board is wrapped up safely in a padded bit of kit. It also comes with a removable should strap. This has a double-cush design that is very comfortable and gives you the needed padding for those times when you have to carry the bag rather than wheel it around.
