Does this bag have any weaknesses when used for skis, compared to a bag originally designed for skis, like Dakine Fall Line?

Depending on how it fits, the boot compartments might damage the front part of your skis. Other than that, if recommend tossing in a lot of clothes to keep the skis and poles from moving around inside the bag.

I purchased this bag and I am very happy with it. Handles are very comfortable. To answer your question. I carry laptop (HP255), I pad, makeup small pouch, scarf, and sometimes shoes (as i bike in the city). I have even put a helmet without a problem. I am petite, this bag doesn't appear big but when you need to make things fit its wonderful. Hope this helps. :)

I use it to commute to the gym and back. It depends on how many items you're trying to carry. If you're not carrying a bunch of items with you, they sell a smaller pack with a large bladder that may work better. I don't personally mind the size, but I have a friend who complains about it being too big. He ended up buying the smaller bag that Geigerrig makes.

Truthfully, I bought several Built bags at the same time so have not used this one, but plan to this fall. I just tried putting the straps over my shoulder and while I could get them on the shoulder, it was tight and I doubt I would do it often. The bag is quite large--bigger than I expected when ordering, but I like the style for the fall and winter. As mentioned, I have two other Built computer bags in more traditional briefcase styles. Hope this is of some help to you.

According to the tag, Select Sportbags Style #696; 600 Denier Polyester and Dobby Nylon backed with waterproof PVC laminates. Fully padded, inner divider and inside straps to keep skis in place. Used on trip last year - worked great.

I didn't have any problems with the skeg either. And I agree if you epoxy it, that will probably make it much harder to fit into the bag. If you afraid of losing it, try to secure it with cord/rope (making small hole in the skeg).

As long as the equipment isn't over 20-30 lbs in my opinion...in my experience my hockey equipment was too much for the straps and caused the large over the shoulder strap to break at the end of the zipper...causing the zippers to fall off. Hope this helps.

Don't own that specific bag, but I've used this in a pretty small ~15L pack for snowboarding, with no problems. This bladder has a loop up top that helps it stay in place, provided your pack has a clip above the hydration compartment. The hose is nice and long too so my guess is it'll work just fine. Hope that helps!

I wouldn't use it for that. I think it would move around quite a bit. Great bag, but more for hiking not running

In light rain the bag kept camera and accessories dry. Have not used it in snow. Love the bag, keeps things handy and carries well as back pack.

Unfortunately no. That is only one of the short comings I feel this bag has. Although I thought this bag would be more in tune with what I was looking for, it fell well short. You may want to look at a "Domke". If I had an opportunity to see it prior to purchase, I would not have.

i am using this for my ddj sx, it would still have room for a macbook pro and an rmx 1000. the front seam has ripped on me though, i would recommend a different bag if you have other options

No, it's too heavy and too bulky. Spend a little more and get a higher quality bag.

Yes. And unfortunately we are returning it. My daughter used it once and the zipper broke. :( Super cute bag...just not durable.

I have not had trouble with this bag doing that. My old one fell forward many times so I'm glad I don't have the problem anymore.

It would work excellent. There is a stabilizer strap for holding the bag tight that most people tuck into the opposite strap slot. With this strap snapped into the single strap the pack is very stable. I use my pack for every hike I have been on, it is my Man Purse.

I have not used it for skis, but I would think it should so long as there is a way to secure the skis to the carrier.
