Sportube Hits ISPO With a Full Line Of Sport Bags And Cases For Winter Sport Travel

For 22 years Sportube  hard cases have been the tried and trusted method for transporting and protecting valuable ski and snowboard equipment when traveling. This season Sportube raises the performance bar with a full line of bags and cases including the Cabin Cruiser and the Overheader travel gear bags.

These bags are airline carry on compliant at 55.8 cm x 35.5 cm x 22.8 cm. In fact, all Sportube products are air travel durable and policy compliant to ensure your gear arrives safely and/or is fully insurance compliant as well. As avid snow chasers, we recommend you bring you boots with you on the plane, better than checking them, and risk that they will end up in Madrid, or Cyprus, when you are trying to get to Geneva

The Cabin Cruiser is a wheeled carry-on boot bag. At 41 liters, the Cabin Cruiser meets airline carry-on requirements, while still being large enough to hold your boots, pants, shell jacket, goggles and other gear, even a helmet in the removable helmet pod. A fully padded boot compartment keeps your boots protected while traveling. Tall people can rejoice, a convenient extra-long pull handle and wheels make pulling your gear through the airport effortless.

The Sportube Overheader padded gear and boot backpack is a perfect carry-on boot bag. At 44 liters, the Overheader meets airline carry-on requirements and is large enough to carry your boots, helmet, clothing and gear needed for a day on the mountain. Contoured shoulder straps, load straps, chest strap and backpack design give you the most comfortable fitting boot bag available. Padding surrounds your boots ensuring superior boot protection. Both bags fit boots up to a size 28, along with a little clothing, accessories and a helmet in a removable helmet pod.

These featured bags round out the full collection of protective hard ski & snowboard cases (Made in the USA), soft bags, gear and boot bags, and accessories for skiing, snowboarding, fishing, and even spear fishing and water skiing.

After working with technical engineers and design consultants, the Sportube brand was conceived, manufactured and launched in 1995 with the introduction of both a single and double ski case with wheels. 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.

Living and working in the heart of the United States - Rocky Mountains has allowed Sportube to create unique and personal relationships within the Snow Sports Industry. Sportube is the exclusive ski case sponsor for NAASF (North American Airline Ski Federation), Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, USA Telemark Ski Team, esteemed Ski Cross racer Matt Brady, and supports many other aspiring racers, competitors, athletes and regional clubs.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in the last 20 years baggage mishandled reports are down. In 1990, reports were 2.2 million a year, 2015 reported 1.9 million reports. Sportube does not want you to be a statistic either way. 

Hields adds, "We're constantly listening to people and working on fresh ideas to ensure you have the best trip possible no matter what equipment you are taking with you."

Established in 1995 and based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Made in the USA hard cases have been the tried and trusted method for transporting and protecting valuable ski and snowboard equipment for 22 years.  As the World's number one supplier of hard sided travel cases Sportube has a model to protect any ski or snowboard, even fishing rod and spear gun.   With the introduction of a soft sided luggage line in 2014 featuring the finest quality boot and gear bags as well as ski bags Sportube now covers all facets of winter sports luggage requirements.  Sportube products are adventure ready and will stand the test of time.
