I'm trying to find a ski bag that is: A) Padded, B) Holds two pairs of skis, C) Can hold a 192cm ski, D) Flies well

Looking around the usual suspect websites the choices seem like:
Evo Roller
Douchebag The Douchebag
Thule Roundtrip Roller
Sportube Series 2
North Face Basecamp
Transpack Ski Vault Pro
Swix Gold Lite

Anyone have thoughts on these bags or recommend one that meets my specs?

Just look for a vintage one on Craigslist or at a garage sale.

Thanks but I'd rather just buy a new bag that fits what I want.

I've got a DaKine Boundary bag which I like. Larger size fits skis up to 200cm, is padded, has wheels, is tough. They advertise that it easily fits 2 pairs of skis, though my experience is that it does, but I have to zip-tie the brakes up to fit them in.

Same, shits real good.
I recommend looking into Dakine bags OP + they are pretty more reasonably priced than other bags out there in my experience.

All good. I just suggested it because the old bags are long, the new ones are like snowboard bags.

A Fall Line won't fit 192cm the longest is 190cm. You would need to get a Dakine Boundary 200cm bag.

True it says 190 but the actual size inside measured is somewhere around 194-196cm. It might be tight but it would fit.

But with 2 pairs you would have problems with the space the wheels take up in the bag no? I've got one but never turned it up to 11 on the size of skis in the bag.

I have the Douchebag and it's pretty cool bag, but if both of your skis are center mounted (or close to) they will have a hard time fitting in it because of the heels. Removing them from the rails helps (unless you have Pivots, then I don't know...), but you'll need to know how to re-adjust your forward pressure.

Spin the heels round on one pair?

Just a bag old or new does the same thing

You've assumed incorrectly if you think I want a new bag because new is better or something.
