Just returned from a few weeks in Japan at Niseko and Hakuba Valley and had my bag shipped all over the place there (Yamato Transport is the best!) and everything was well protected throughout all the travel.
When I was hauling it around myself the wheels ate up all the bumps and cracks in pavement without issue. It was packed pretty full and the handles took it all in stride.
The various pockets and removable stuff sacks proved to be exceptional when it came to keeping things organized and the compression straps on the outside certainly helped things stay in place throughout all the adventures. Cannot recommend this bag enough. My girlfriend’s bag wasn’t as awesome and she was jealous for the whole trip. She is likely to pick one up herself, and likely soon!
I was able to pack my board, boots, bindings, helmet, googles all my snow related gear including shell, pants, multiple base layers and fleeces and even had room to pack a few smaller boxes with some glorious (and VERY rare) bourbon in the bag. ZERO issues, not even a nick on anything that I noticed. I would also say the willingness (read comfort) to pack bottles (albeit in some boxes) along with everything else is indicative of the confidence I had in the bag keeping everything safe. It didn’t disappoint in any area.
