The ultimate ski luggage solution for all your gear

Tuesday, 14 December 2010 4:55 PM

Taking your own skis with you on your ski season, but still want to arrive in style? Then try the new Live Luggage Sports bag, which has enough space to store all your kit, but is light enough to be pulled along smoothly with just one hand.

The specially-designed wishbone handle transfers 85 per cent of the weight over the wheels, meaning that taking your skis with you can be effortless and will help avoid any arm or shoulder injuries before you get to the resort.

The multi-bag system includes a spacious main case, a weekend bag and a rucksack which all zip together and apart, so they can be used separately. The main chassis is strong enough to support a pair of skis or a snowboard, as well as clothing and boots.

There are two versions – the AG model with an anti-gravity handle, and the PA version with anti-gravity handle and power-assisted wheels which run off a re-chargeable built-in battery, taking all the strain out of walking uphill.

The Live Luggage Sports Bag costs £265 for the AG model and £395 for the powered PA version. For more information, visit: www.liveluggage.com
