When you just want a drop it in and go tote the Volkl Carryall is the perfect bag. 35 liters of space this fits a helmet on one side, with room on the other to tuck a pair of rolled up ski pants, toss a layer in there, pop a water bottle into the outside pocket, and away you go. Because you’re not trying to zip this shut, but closing it with a webbing strap and clip, there’s not only a shocking amount of room in this bag, but everything is immediately accessible. Plop this into the back of your car and it’s an instant catch all for all the bits of gear you need ready access to and don’t want to be fishing through a duffle bag for. It even makes a handy tote for the weekend food supply you’re picking up at the local bijou deli on your way to the slopeside condo. Stand up sides and horizontal space, sure, you could continue to struggle with that grocery store tote, or you could get something genuinely designed to carry gear in organized and accessible splendor. I particularly like this for families who are trying to corral helmets and little kids boots into a bag that makes intuitive sense. This puts them together in a neat stack that’s top accessible without having to struggle your way through multiple zippers and clever “helmet slings” when everyone just wants to get out on the snow. One bag, one hundred uses.
