About Sportube
Situated high in the Rocky Mountain ski town of Vail, Colorado, Highland Trading Co. Inc. has been a distributor of ski travel cases since 1991. After working for four months with technical engineers and design consultants, the Sportube brand was conceived, manufactured, and launched in 1996 with the introduction of both a single and double ski case with wheels. Based on the proven success of the single and double cases, the Sportube line expanded in 1998 with the launch of the much requested snowboard case and again in 2001 with the introduction of the Master Series fly rod cases. Sportube continues to be an innovator and leader in providing convenient travel options for sports enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews

Weigh you stuff first.
I did extensive searches for a ski bag and Sportube is the bag recommended by most reviews if you want the best protection for your gear. And after recieving the bag, it is clearly a very sturdy bag and I have no doubt it will hold up well,so I have no regrets in purchasing a sportube.

What I do now realize that one cannot put three pairs of skis and poles in it without going over the Airlines 50Lb weight limit.

So for snowboarders this is a great bag, but for skiers I would suggest buy the sportube 2 instead because you really can't use it for 3 pairs of skis.

Durable
I traveled with the SporTube through the airport without any issue. It is big, but the wheels keep the case stable when pulling. I was able to fit my snowboard with bindings attached and all of my gear without any problems. I do recommend getting the handle though, that would make pulling the case easier

Best Travel Case
This case is bomber, nothing else can compare with the protection that it affords your expensive snowsports equipment during travel. Yes, it is heavy-I took it to Colorado with two complete setups(2 snowboards with bindings and 2 pairs of boots) and it weighed in right at 50 pounds, but then again I never worried for a second that my boards would be damaged in transit. I did not have the optional pull handle that atttaches to the nose of the case, but it would have made things MUCH easier. Pulling the case by the handle that comes standard puts a great deal of strain on your arm. For the price of this case, the pull handle should be included, and if so would rank 5 stars. I highly recommend this case, especially for airline travel and shipping. Plus you can cover it with tons of stickers.
