SKBoot FAQ’s

Is the SKBoot considered carry-on?
We designed a bag that carries not only your ski/snowboard boots and helmet with ease, but also your ski gear. A bag containing ski boots and ski gear is generally above the weight recommended for carry-on.
The SKBoot is a semi-solid structure with strong protection properties. The SKBoot bag is designed to be “checked” and handles and corners of bags have been reinforced to prevent wearing and tearing.
Both the medium and large sized SKBoot bag fits within the dimensions specified by most airlines (42 in. (106 cm) for medium sized bag and 45 in. (115 cm) for the large bag) and goes through the x-ray machines, however, it may be too wide for some overhead lockers depending on how much is packed in it and depending on the airlines. The bag fits easily in some overhead lockers, particularly the larger planes used for overseas hauls.
If it doesn’t fit in the aircraft’s overhead locker, it may fit under the seat in front of you - again, depending on the airline. Our recommendation is that you “check” the SKBoot or check with your airline first.

Will my computer be safe in the laptop sleeve?
Yes, as the sleeve is padded and is protected by the “back” of the bag (which is a hard structure). However, to be entirely safe, we recommend that upon checking your bag, you remove the laptop sleeve and carry it with you on board as airlines are not responsible for damage caused to your computer during transit. Alternatively, make sure you have plenty of “padding” around the laptop sleeve in your bag.

Recommendations to ensure the long life of your SKBoot
As the SKBoot bag is predominantly used as a ski boot bag, it is more than likely your bag will be exposed to rain or snow. Because of frequent use of the zipper component, it is highly recommended that before use, you spray the zippers (especially any metal parts) with a lubricant/protector/water-proofer such as WD40, or Jig-a-loo. This will protect the zipper from the elements and extend the life of the SKBoot bag.

Why is there a webbed loop on the front and back of the NHG?
If you want to attach your helmet to a backpack or other carrying device but not want it “dangling” from one loop, you can thread another carrabiner through the second loop to more securely attach the helmet to your backpack.

How do I wear my goggles with the NHG?
Once the NHG is fitted over your helmet, just put the goggles over the NHG. The neoprene keeps the goggles securely in place and if you like to put your goggles on top of the helmet when you’re not skiing, the goggles will stay put and not slide over your helmet as can sometimes happen.

Is the NHG a safety device?
No. The NHG is purely a cover for your helmet. Your helmet should be checked before and after use for damage

Will the NHG keep my head warm?
Yes, it will keep your head warmer and it will keep your helmet and head dry on wet or snowy days. More importantly, the NHG will keep the cold “out”. On a warmer day, you can still wear it with the vents of your helmet open, as the NHG is breathable.
