The SporTube Hard Snow Ski, Water Ski and Snowboard Cases are wheeled hard ski and snowboard cases designed to give maximum protection to your skis and snowboards.
The SporTube is a combination of two telescoping tubes - the inner tube holds the bulk of the gear and the outer tube slides over the inner tube and locks into place. The length is adjustable for different length skis or boards or water skis. There is a loop on one end of the tube as an aid to help you when you pull one tube out from within the other. It gives you something to pull.
The inner tube is just that - a tube. There is no additional padding. There are no pockets for boots or dividers between the boards. Instead we recommend using extra clothing to provide internal protection.
All three models have bands to hold the ski brakes in place. The Series 2 Ski Case also has separate Velcro straps to hold each pair of skis and poles together and two internal Velcro straps that are riveted to the case and hold the two pair of skis apart.
