Hey guys I'm buying the dakine low roller snowboard bag and having trouble deciding what size I should get. I have a 157 size board but I also want to be able to fit all my gear: boots, bindings, jacket, pants, all outerwear, layers and helmet. I'm stuck between the size 157 or 165 size bags. Does anyone have this bag or could tell me what the best option here to do is? Thanks

I have the 165 lowroller from two seasons ago, board is a 159. I love this bag, I jam it with more than I need nearly every time, but I do put my boots and helmet in a boot bag. Probably could get the boots in, but not the helmet. I know on Delta board and boot bags count as one bag.

What size is you board?
I'm asking since if the board is way snaller that the bag, the bag will lack stabilization by the board and have a "kink" while pulling... and already the 157 hardly fits into a Volvo xc60 straight way...
My Dakine low roller 157 fits 3 boards, 2 bindings, boots, poles, skins, helmet, goggle case, backprotector, 2 pairs of gloves. The split stuff could easily be replaced by clothes you need for a weekend.

BTW: A Low roller 157 fits even boards of 164 size...

My board is a size 157 I want to keep the bindings on the board get a pair of boots in a helmet and all my layers including jacket pants gloves hats etc. also I would like to fit in my gopro case which is fairly small and goggle case....I understand a bigger bag could result in that "slack" areas when wheeling around if not packed up all the way but could I fit all this into the size 157 bag? I just feel with a 157 size board the 165 bag is going to be a lot bigger but i still want to be able to pack all my stuff into one bag

My advice with bags is when in doubt, always buy bigger. You can always stuff something into the bag to make up the difference if there is a gap on the top/bottom (I used to stick a set of old back-up pants to even out the gap in my old bag) but you can't do anything about a bag that is too small.

Ha ha, and bindings??? I'd like to see that!


I wouldn't go to big, these bags can get quite heavy
You don't have to fill it to the brim.


Hey Man,

Did you get Dakine Low Roller bag? Is it unstable since you get a larger than board bag?

thx
Yes, I got the Low Roller bag. I haven't used it anger yet. But I have done a test run, i.e, packing everything in, seeing where everything fits. At the moment, I'm up to 1 board (159), 1 pair of bindings, 2 pairs of boots, 2 jackets and 2 pairs of pants. There seems to be plenty of room left. When we go to Japan, it'll be just me and my son. I'll use the low roller for most of the equipment, and then I've got a Samsonite hard case for our other stuff. I haven't weighed it yet with all the stuff in, so not sure about that.
Not sure what you mean by unstable, but just dragging it up and down the driveway and round the back of the house, it seemed ok to me.

You cannot fit gear, clothes and snowboard properly in a 157 bag for a 157 board.
I have a 162 bag with a 158 board and I can fit in some stuff but not a lot.
A bigger bag will allow you to use your board bag as luggage. Then you just use a small cabin luggage and you are good to go.
