A few years ago we bought a double hard case and it is very good. They
are significantly more expensive than soft bags but worth it. The wheels
make it easy to lump around airports etc. and the hard case means it
doesn't flap when tied to the roof rack where it behaves more like a ski
box. The poles have stayed straight and undented through baggage
handling something that could not be said about our previous soft bags.
The only downsides are that it takes more space when empty and it is
harder to pack the skis into.

I am quit pleased with it. As it has tie down straps, the skis is firmly
rested, and won't slide inside the bag, causing scratches.
It has a strap for carrying over the shoulder, witch can be a great releaf.

Beware of cheap bags, as the zipper may be weak and open up where it's
supposed to be zipped.

Wouldn't change for anything else.

I have my own skis. What is best ski bags or ski cases (hard) ?

NB we'll be carrying 2 sets of skis, so a double case would be of use.

Any advice grateful ......
