Comments:This bag is so righteous. Just received it today and believe me you can get your skates and all your protective gear in it with absolutely no problem. And it has some very cool inner pouches for carrying any tools or whatever you want to carry in them. I have searched for a long time and no walk in stores carried anything like this. This will work great too for air travel which I plan to use in the very near future. On a scale from 1 to 10 here; this carry bag gets an 11 with me. I highly recommend this bag to all of you have been frustrated with finding a bag that is so very ideal to carry all of your equipment including your helmet. I rest my case.

Comments:This bag is great, all my skates, helmet, and protective gear go in neatly. I have a 2 seater hard top though, and it's just a TAD too high for the top to go down, so I may need to look for a flatter pack. One thing I realy like are the mesh panels - they advertise this for ice skates so the water can evaporate, but it's also for inline skates to "defunkify" them o.O
