Dakine Ski Travel Bag Maintenance Guide

Dakine Ski Travel Bag Maintenance Tips

Congrats, if you are reading this post you probably just completed a fun skiing vacation and have returned home to store your ski travel bag until the next big ski vacation.

Trying to figure out the best way to make sure your Dakine ski travel bag is kept in great shape every time you travel with your ski or snowboard?

Here our top maintenance tips are written to make sure your ski travel bag remains in great shape for future use. 

Our goal is to help make sure your ski travel bag investment lasts so that your hard earned dollars are put to work in the long run. We have put this guide together from years of flying experiences, ripped ski bags and broken ski travel bag wheels.  These tips are applicable to all Dakine ski travel bags sizes of 190 cm, 175 cm, 160 cm and the ski paddled bags.  

We hope our lessons learned make your future ski travel experience that much better for years to come. 

  1. Maintenance Tip 1: Check the wheels after each use to make sure they are spinning correctly. A broke wheel can lead to the bag wearing on the ground and then breaking over time. A little bit of Vaseline or oil can help a stuck wheel and keep your bag in working order.fall line dakine 190 deep lake
  2. Maintenance Tip 2: Inspect the Dakine travel bag for any holes or tears after your adventure. A small tear can over time turn into a large hole if it is not properly repaired.
  3. Maintenance Tip 3: Make sure your skiis when you are packing up doesn’t have any sharp edges that is forced against the inside of the bag as those sharp edges can cause tears in the ski travel bag while traveling.
  4. Maintenance Tip 4: Count all your pads after each use against the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure you have all the pad items prior to packing the bike travel bag away. It is much easier to run a spare part down like a pad after your trip compared to the night before your next trip. 
  5. Maintenance Tip 5: Check the zipper to make sure it is functioning as intended after each trip. A zipper that is slightly off can be easily fixed compared to a broken zipper. A local tailor can help repair a zipper if your item is not functioning as intended.
  6. Maintenance Tip 6: Make sure you include a ski travel tag on the outside of your bag. Confirm after each trip that the tag is still there. If the tag has fallen off repair. Also make sure your contact information is updated so that if your bike is lost, the airline have your most updated information.Dakine Fall Line Roller Ski Bag 175cm Cascade
