Known as Jake’s favourite, the Burton Wheelie Gig Board Bag is probably one of the most commonly seen snowboard bags at the airports” 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. The bag is completely padded to provide your gear with plenty of protection as you travel. If you have ever worried about what will happen to your boards when you drop them off at the airline counter, this model will help you worry less.The bag is also fully padded to give you high levels of protection. You won’t need to worry if a baggage handler drops the bag or other gear gets piled high on top of it. The padding provides plenty of cushioning to keep the contents in good shape. It’s also available in multiple colors, so you can get a design that matches your style on the slopes. I’m a fan of the camouflage option, but there are also a few solid colorways that look pretty great. Value 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 Brexit - Shipments from the UK to EU countries will now attract VAT charges and potentially duties & customs fees payable upon entering the EU. These fees are payable by the recipient. 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.

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. The Low Roller also has an effective handle and roller system that allows you to roll your gear around the airport or resort with ease. It’s available in multiple color patterns and makes for a trusted travel companion. The Wheelie Gig bag also has webbed straps that help keep your boards from moving around when in motion. This is another excellent feature for protection, and the velcro straps are super-strong and won’t come undone. The bag doesn’t come with a ton of extras, but it really doesn’t need them. I like the simplicity of the Wheelie and the fact that it simply gets the job done without many bells and whistles. After all, it is a bag and not a fancy equipment item.

Burton Wheelie Gig Bag 2014 - 2013Review by The Good Ride

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. We still like the bags listed below, but they fell slightly behind due to minor inconveniences we found during testing.
