It’s Santa Cruz, but it makes traveling easier/cheaper. Does anyone know of anything similar? I looked for other brands but only found bags with straps. Whenever I travel, I rather use a bag like this to get to the hotel/Airbnb and then carry a small backpack for day use (phone, wallet, portable charger, water, skate tool, hat, jacket).

There's a small part of me that wants those Theories SWAT cargo pants.

But $75 for some pants is almost a bridge too far.

No idea about the pants but I have a theories pull over hoodie and it’s comfy as fuck and super high quality. I blow glass in it, walk in the rain, etc and its still in perfect condition and still fits really well.

thinking about getting those adidas midtop 3ST slipper things- anybody have feedback on the sizing? only thing i heard so far was that they are not for wide feet.

Do they stretch out?
does the sole have any support or is it simple vulc? i might throw some footprint insoles into them most likely.....

I had one when they first dropped, definitely my favorite DLX deck I've had. The advertising was gimmicky but the shape was really nice.

I had one in 8.25 for about a week. I liked the shape overall but the nose was just too steep for me to get any flip tricks. It may have been a combo of trucks and wheels (theeve, 53mm stf) but I couldn't skate it without getting pissed off so I gave it away and went back to my flight deck.

There's a silk screned Brian Lotti re-issue and a slick bottom Guy Mariano re-issue from Blind out now. I'm trying to decide if I should actually buy two of each; one to skate and one to keep. On one hand Blind is goofy and whack in 2018, on the other the re-issues are sick

Part of me agrees, but I have a couple of friends first pro boards, plus a small selection of wall hangers. I pulled the trigger on the Brian Lotti boards because I found them for $25 each after a little digging. Still considering getting the Guy accidental gun death boards

I really want to try State shoes. Seems like a good company to back. Just really hope they're good to my feet. I'd wear them for a while then skate them once broken in.

Yeah, I had that show girls Lotti and it crossed my mind to get it again.  I want to skate a dwindle board again too just cause.

It’s Santa Cruz, but it makes traveling easier/cheaper. Does anyone know of anything similar? I looked for other brands but only found bags with straps. Whenever I travel, I rather use a bag like this to get to the hotel/Airbnb and then carry a small backpack for day use (phone, wallet, portable charger, water, skate tool, hat, jacket).

https://shop.surfhouse.ee/volcom-buhl-skate-backpack.html?___store=en&___from_store=en bought this a long time ago for a lot cheaper than the price listed, but this ones decent, honestly the Santa Cruz one seems better

The last Dwindle board I owned was a Palace in 2012. I remember it was pretty great for the first 5 days, but felt dead once it broke in completely. I'll see how it goes with this one. There's a good chance I wind up skating both boards

I recently saw someone shatter a Palace board....but then I saw Haslam skating one which I'm pretty sure was by choice...

Been eyeballing these for a while, would be extra nice on a cruiser: https://www.speedlabwheels.com/collections/wheels/products/bill-danforth-pro-model-58mm-97a

Also they're a sick company in general and they've got a lot of girls on the team

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was wondering if there are any bags that have a compartment for a skateboard internally. Other than that Santa Cruz one, I’ve only seen external straps. Also, I’m looking for 40-50L minimum for two weeks of clothes so I don’t have to do laundry on any of my trips. That bag would be a nice day bag or for a short vacation.

i use a large north face duffel for trips like that. just last weekend i carried a complete and 7 other decks in it.

edit

i just checked and its actually a size XL. its 132 liters so it holds a ton and its expensive but its been great to me.

Those base camp duffels are the bomb. I've never been one for fancy outdoor gear, but I got a small or medium one for my birthday one year. The thing is super tough, and you never have to worry about stuff getting wet. The smaller ones aren't long enough to put a board inside, so I just bungee it to the bottom.

i bought two of the XLs for a cross country road trip so i could keep them in a basket on the roof of my car. They arent water proof though. water will get through the zippers but as long as you arent keeping them in the pouring rain for extended periods of time your stuff wont get that wet.

I took a 5 week amtrak trip around the country this summer and used a Osprey Farpoint 55. It has a detachable daybag just like what your looking for but I had to use the straps on it to hold my board. I really liked using it for the train but I dont think it would work for flying.
