Sports reviews of Sportube Series 2 Double Travel Ski Case
Customer Review: SporTube Series 2
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The SporTube 2 is perfect for 2 sets of skis and poles. The rollers help provide a smooth ride while walking through the airport. The SporTube also helped to cut down on the number of bags which is big help and may pay for itself as some airlines begin to charge for more than 2 bags per person...Customer Review: Sportube - good protection
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The case is a little gangly to work with at first but it does a nice job of fitting and protecting the skis. Why don't the just include the $5 handle?
With the wheels it makes for easier transport.

The case is sturdy, adjustable and fits two sets of skiis with poles. Love it and would highly recommend. Be sure to buy the tsa lock (its annoying that the lock must be bought separately).Customer Review: Ski baggage

This product makes traveling with skiis and snowboards so much nicer than using floppy wheeled or unwheeled canvas bags.Customer Review: pretty good ski hard case
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Just did two road trips with this case, carrying 5 pair of Nordic race skis and 5 pair of poles. The longest skis were 207cm, (the wheels are recessed into the bottom of case and do take out some space, so 5 pair of 207's wouldn't fit). Also at that length the case is extended very close to it's maximum so it starts to act like a hinge in the center which is unfortunate when your packing light weight nordic racing equipment that needs more support. The case comes with one clevis pin to connect the two telescoping halves and the alignment of the holes doesn't allow for a second. I stiffened up the center by drilling and adding a second pin. On our last trip I saw several of these cases and mine was the only one that got munched in the airport conveyor belt, two out of four corners were caved in a bit but no broken equipment. The wheels and center handle both worked fine. Bottom line: This case will be great as is for typical alpine equipment. For long classic racing skis, I would buy it again but it would be nice to see it evolve a little by stiffening up the center connection and reinforcing the corners.
