Do I need a snowboard bag for bus trips? - Snowboarding Forum

Plan on doing bus trips to VT this winter from NY. Will I need a bag to keep my board from getting damage during the trip?

It wouldn't hurt...

I highly recommend it.

It's better than nothing.

I used a $10 sleeve that I got on Whisky for the NY-VT bus rides and it did the job.

I plan on doing the same bus trips and using a padded Dakine bag.

I’d get a bag. They aren’t too expensive and they’ll protect your gear. I’d rather have a bag get scratched up then my board.

As a middle/high school ski bus chaperone I use a bag for convenience of carrying stuff (walking) to and from the bus to house. And to keep it together, sometimes taking 2 or 3 boards, boots and helmet in the bag and a daypack for lunch, mitts, goggles and jacket (can also fit in the boots and helmet).

I grabbed one a few years ago for like 20 bucks. Well worth it, other people i know had their scratched up pretty bad and had to pay quite a bit for repairs.
