LOVE THIS BAG!! Probably the best piece I've added to my ski gear. I plug in the bag on "low" at home a few hours before leaving and then plug it into the Jeep on my way up to the resort. When I arrive my boots are soft and warm. Such a great way to start a day on the slopes! Lots of great storage compartments make this an amazing bag!

This bag replaces my 13 year old Transpack TRV Pro that was still in pretty good shape. I wanted to upgrade to a heated boot bag and gain some more storage space. I like to carry all the essentials plus extras for varying conditions. I considered the Transpack XL heated bag but preferred the Kulkea design for boot heating that places a heated pad on both sides of each boot. Based on the size descriptions I was expecting to have a lot more usable room, especially with placing my helmet on the outside. Unfortunately, I have found no extra room.

There are several adjustments that I would make that would greatly improve this boot bag. I would add an extra 3-4 inches of width to the center part of the bag and add some more small pockets like their Trekker model has both inside and out. This would not add much to the production cost and would make the bag so much more useful. I have had to use some small pouches to help organize many of my smaller items such as diamond stones, boot adjustment tools, ski locks, etc. A larger opening on the top of the bag would also make it much easier to locate and organize items in the large center compartment. Finally, I would use separate pockets to store the two cords that provide the power, a design feature found with most other heated bags. Having them together just makes the process more annoying since you have to pull out both first, choose the one you need and then stuff the other back up into the pocket. I was surprised to learn that there is no heat level adjustment when using the car cord. Not sure if this is a safety issue but I would prefer to have this ability.

I do like the styling of the bag. Hope it will give me years of reliable use.

Seems well made of quality materials and workmanship but time will only tell that which is why it gets a 4. If it lasted many years I would give it a five. Using home 120 voltage this bag really heats my boot to almost hot! It is important to do this for an hour or so before leaving and plugging it into the 12 volt car system.. If preheated, the 12 volt car system will keep them hot. I could not get it to work with the built in car 12 volt to 120 volt inverter though not a big deal with me.
The bag does a great job of heating anything else stuffed into the big deep center pocket too. The shoulder straps work very well for me. The only dislike is that there are 2 small pockets out of the many that require opening a bottom zipper and stuffing cords or other items upwards. Not convenient especially if you are outside the car in the ski area parking lot fiddling with cold hands or wearing gloves. Overall I really like this heated bag and am very glad to have it. I solved some very real cold boot problems for me.

Tired of a cold boot to start your day on the slopes? Make the best investment you will make for your day on the slopes and purchase the Kulkea heated boot bag. Your boots will be toasty warm and pliable. Plus you gear like gloves and clothes will be warm in the roomy center compartment.

Highly recommended!

I bought this bag for a trip to Italy and wanted to be able to take all of my ski gear (minus skis and poles) in a single bag. It worked great! I was able to put my base layer, gloves, goggles, boots, socks, shirt and more in the bag. The only thing I could fit for the flight was my helmet. However, even that fit when packing it to the ski resort. The heating worked great as well. My boots were very warm and pliable when I got to the resort. It makes it so much easier to get them on! Packing the bag around on my back was great too with the hip strap and the chest strap. It made carrying all of my stuff so easy. There are only two things that I would like to see different: 1) Make it so that the heating element works on 220v as well as 110v so I don't have to pack an adapter; 2) Give each of the cables their own compartment so that I don't have to take them both out when I only need one. Other than that, it's a great bag.
