Discover the best snowboard bags, backpacks and luggage for 2026/27, from padded board bags and travel duffels to technical freeride packs.
Whether you’re heading off on a week-long snowboard trip, packing for a backcountry mission or simply trying to fit all your gear into one bag, having the right luggage makes life a whole lot easier. From padded board bags and oversized duffels to technical freeride packs, here’s our pick of the backpacks and luggage worth checking out this season.
Size: 120L
Who is it for? For riders looking for a seriously roomy duffel for longer trips or simply keeping all their gear together on the road. With 120 litres of storage, the Stockpile is Burton’s biggest duffel, with large end pockets keeping smaller essentials easy to find and stretchy CRAM™ zones giving you a little extra give when you inevitably try to squeeze in one more thing. The heavy-duty recycled polyester fabric has a PFC-free DWR and PU coating to help fend off wet weather, while haul handles, gear loops and a removable shoulder strap give you a few different ways to carry it. Big, durable and built for hauling a lot of stuff, it’s a practical option for longer snowboard trips and gear-heavy adventures.
Sizes: 146, 156, 166, 181
Who is it for? For the riders who love a solid classic. The Burton Wheelie Gig Bag might be one of the most common board bags around – and it’s easy to tell why. It fits a lot, comes with sturdy wheels and is fully padded. Basically, if you’re looking for a reliable and durable board bag that’s easy to transport, this is it. There’s room for multiple boards and more, with internal straps keeping everything in place. And it’s well padded, so you won’t have to worry quite as much about the treatment it’ll get at airports. Available in multiple colours.
Sizes: 157, 165, 175
Who is it for? For riders looking for a budget-friendly, lightweight board bag for trips where wheels aren’t essential. There’s room for a board, a pair of boots and some extra layers and outerwear, while smaller things can be tucked away inside the exterior zippered pocket. The 360-degree padding keeps the goods protected, and a removable padded shoulder strap and dual end handles make for more comfortable transit. Available in multiple colours.
Sizes: 18L, 22L, 28L, 35L
Who is it for? For freeriders but versatile enough for everyday mountain use, the Mammut Nirvana is a practical pack that comes in a range of sizes depending on how much you need to carry. There’s a separate compartment for your avalanche safety gear, rear access to the main compartment and attachments for your snowboard, ice tools and poles. It’s hydration-compatible too, while the carrying system keeps things secure without restricting your movement. The main material is recycled, with a PFC-free DWR.
Size: 28L
Who’s it for? For freeriders looking for the added safety of an avalanche airbag without the compressed-gas cartridges used by traditional systems. The Ortovox AVABAG LiTRIC Freeride 28 uses an electronic airbag system that charges via USB-C, giving you at least two activations per charge and around 60 hours of operation. Designed specifically with freeriding in mind, there’s a separate compartment for avalanche safety gear, snowboard and ski attachments, an ice axe fastening and a helmet holder. The modular system also lets you swap between compatible Freeride and Tour Zip attachments, making it a versatile option for everything from powder days to longer missions.
