Title: Huge bag, but heavy and useless for airline travel
Review: I bought this bag, like most people probably, for a ski trip. I obviously needed a bag for boots and gear and a seperate bag to check for my skis.The Dakine 60/40 was huge and could hold 2 pairs of boots (alpine and tele boots) and plenty of gear. At the last minute I decided not to take my free-heel gear and removed one pair of boots. This bag is advertised as being able to split into two at the airport and have two checked bags. However, three bags has a greater charge than two over-weight bags. I was stuck and had to pay the extra money when I was at the airport.I came home to check the specs on this bag 14 pounds. The total allowable weight for most airlines is 50 bounds. That leaves only 36 pounds for clothes and gear.If you plan on using this bag for airline travel, be cautious, the bag itself is too heavy and most often is not convenient (or even an option) to split it in two.
