Flimsy fabric can't really do much to protect skis when you really think about it, and while you're gripping your airplane seat's armrests during intense moments of turbulence on your way to Japan, you're most horrified at the idea of your powder planks snapping on overlarge luggage. Sportube's Series 1 Ski Storage is a heavy-duty shell that properly protects your skis via travel so you can ease your worries as the pilot puts the seat belt light on. Its unique design both lengthens and allows you to lock the tube for customized convenience and increased security. The Series 1 is Sportube's smallest option for single pairs of skis and poles, and this special edition includes a lifetime warranty, a Nic Nac Bag to store goggles and gloves, and an Easy Pull Handle that works with the wheels to ease maneuvering through crowded terminals. Sportube makes accessories for mounting the Series 1 to your car.

Full Reviews
The Sport Tube ski shell is the way to go. Wider skis (and poles) fit nice and snug as do more narrow skis. There is room for a couple of pairs of gloves, perhaps a change of clothes if you organize the interior of the tube cleanly. If you are going to travel with your skis on an airplane, this product is the only true way to protect your equipment. The bag rolls nicely and is easy to carry if you so choose. Sure, you can buy a ski bag for $40.00 but you will need a new one before the end of the season and the protection sucks. A decent pair of skis will set you back $1,000 with bindings and poles, why not spend a little to keep your investment safe and sound?
