The Burton Wheelie Gig Bag has enough space for multiple boards, and enough padding to keep 'em safe during the Luggage-Handler Games (events include Distance Toss, Simultaneous Carry, and Baggage Bowling). The outer pocket stores your boots and bindings, and the IXION wheel system makes short work of long drags through the airport.
Hey,I've got a 157.5 board,would this bag be perfect for it or is it to big?.and would I be able to fit all my other luggage without taking another carry bag with my other clothes etc?....
I'd go with the 166. That's what my wife and I haul and storage our boards and a good amount of gear in. I ride a 160 and my wife rides a 156 and we put the extra bag space to good use. I've used the bag with only my board and I didn't need any other luggage--checked or carry on. It fit everything I needed for my 3day trip. If you are wanting to pack cloths/gear with your 157.5 into a board bag, then I would suggest this bag and size 166. I hope that helps.
Given the going rate of checked luggage on a flight this bag is a necessity. It only weighs 7lbs so that leaves plenty of gear before incurring additional penalties. The pocket for boots is great, and smaller pockets are a nice bonus (even a built in luggage tag). The padding is dense, but not bulky or heavy, and double stitches + rivets makes for a durable piece of luggage. Best part is that it uses skateboard wheels. I have had 5+ different pieces of snowboard luggage, and twice I scrapped expensive luggage because of cheap wheels; FINALLY you can cheaply fix this problem! I recommend this bag to everyone, it is Jake Burton's favorite bag.

I love this bag. It holds up to everything, keeps your board safe, and has room for my board (with bindings on) boots, helmet, goggles, pants, jacket, some under armor and other clothes, gloves, and a couple other things.
This bag has enough room for all your gear... and possibly your friend too. Its well made and really tough. Just make sure you don't leave your board in it over night after using your board, since its tarp lined it will rust.
how is the padding on the bag? I want to use this board to travel from Australia to Canada? So obviously something thick enough for when they toss the board bag around the place.
My previous board bag survived a couple of flights before being too thrashed to travel reliably. Then I got this one. This one has put up with airline abuse really well--no seams blowing, no busted zippers, no massive gashes in the material. In fact, none of my gear has received any wear from flying when in my Gig. So the padding is more than sufficient. If you are still worried bumps and bruises, save yourself the worrying and put a coat or towel around your board. If nothing else it will help you sleep better on the plane.
The padding this thick enough for sure. This is a great travel bag. It will easily fit two boards, bindings, boots and some outerwear. You will be stoked on this bag.
The bag is pretty sweet. I bought a 181 bag for a destination wedding in whistler this winter. My board is only a 155. If there is extra room at the top, it makes the bag a little hard to drag around. If you fill it up its not a big deal. It can hold 2 boards 2 sets of boots and then some. I definitely recommend this bag but if you aren't trying to get extra space for more gear It would be best to get a bag slightly larger than your board.
My Wheelie Gig has toted my wife and my gear on the road and on a few flights. Airline abuse did in my last bag (burton board sack) but this one has held up really well--even with our 166 Gig packed full. It's durable construction, for us, had one exception: the shoulder strap broke the first time we used it. Still, my wife and I give the Burton Wheelie Gig Bag top marks. For us it's the perfect balance of size and portability.
