Travel Anxiety
If you’re at all familiar with traveling, you know that sinking feeling in your stomach when you pick up your bag from the airport baggage carousel. That horrible thought of broken boards and damaged gear crosses your mind at least once or twice on the plane, making you pray to the God of Travel to protect your gear. Well, let us answer your prayers because with Prolimit travel bags, we help you minimize that risk and keep your beloved gear safe and sound.
However, it does not only depend on us…
Yes, there are external factors like rushed airport staff and crowded cargo holds; but you have a role to play. Choosing the right bag to start…
Choosing the right travel bag is essential to protect your gear, organize it efficiently, and ensure hassle-free transportation. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. So, here’s a guide to help you select the perfect bag for your next waterman’s trip.
Why is it important to choose the right travel bag?
Your watersports gear (let’s be honest, your “babies”) are some of the most valuable possessions in your life if you’re as water-obsessed as we are. Whether it’s kitesurfing, wingfoiling, windsurfing, or SUP gear, it’s a significant investment. A reliable travel bag isn’t just about convenience; it’s your first line of defense against damage.
A quality travel bag is essential to ensure your water sports equipment arrives in tip-top condition, minimizing the risk of scratches, dents or tears during transit. It also helps keep your gear organized, with compartments and straps designed to keep everything neatly in place, saving you time and hassle when packing or unpacking. moreover, features like wheels, sturdy handles and lightweight materials make it easier to navigate airports or carry your gear on long journeys to your dream destination.
What You Should Consider When Choosing a Travel Duffel Bag
1 – Size and Volume
The first step is to adjust the size of the bag to your typical travel needs.
Single-use bags: ideal for carrying specific items such as a board or kite. Multi-gear bags (boardbags): perfect for longer trips or for carrying a variety of equipment. Tip: always check the dimensions of your equipment and leave a little extra room for accessories such as fins, bars or harnesses. Prolimit bags come with helpful images showing exactly what will fit in them along with a “Fits in bag” description.
2 – Durability
2 – Durability
- Strong/reinforced seams to prevent breakage.
- Padded compartments to absorb shock during transport.
- Heavy duty materials like 600D Heavy Duty Polyester and 700D Heavy Duty Polyester, designed for superior durability and long-lasting performance.
3 – Weight
Durability is important, but a heavy bag can be a hassle. Those annoying airport scales? Nobody likes them. Find a balance between rugged protection and portability.
Too light: May skimp on padding, increasing the risk of damage to your gear. Good: Enough padding for protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
4 – Organization and accessibility
A well-designed bag makes packing and unpacking a breeze…
Compartments and pockets for smaller items such as screws, tools or fins. Straps or anchors to keep equipment secure and prevent it from shifting during travel.
5 – Wheels and handles
Whether you’re hauling heavy gear across airports or taking long hikes to remote beaches, sturdy wheels and handles are a must-have.
Prolimit Sliding Wheels: The latest patented innovation is the Prolimit Sliding Wheels, they offer a unique structure that raises the bag to a comfortable height, making it easier to move on any terrain. The wheels can be quickly and easily mounted under the bag and when flying, they can be stored in a separate compartment, making your journey hassle-free and efficient. Handles: Designed to make lifting and carrying your gear less tiring, these handles are made for comfort and ease.
Prolimit offers a range of travel bags designed to meet the needs of water enthusiasts like you, combining quality and functionality with a sleek and stylish design. Prolimit bags feature padded protection to protect your equipment from knocks and drops, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition. With a reputation built on trust and years of experience, Prolimit continues to protect your passion for water sports.
Questions to ask yourself
How much gear do I need to carry? How many kites, boards, wings or foils
How much is my baggage allowance? Will a larger bag affect the weight of my gear? Where am I going? Long-haul flights require higher packing standards and more protection to keep your gear safe. Short trips (a road trip, a boat trip, a long hike to the beach) won’t require a bag with as much protection. Opt for a bag that’s lighter and easier to carry.
