The Vaikobi Travel Bag- Taking the stress out of your paddle travel!

March 21, 2018

Working with our international team of Athletes, Vaikobi is excited to launch our brand new Travel Bag, designed to make travelling to and from events super easy and cost effective.

Designed to fit everything you may possibly need for an away race in ONE perfectly sized bag.

The Vaikobi Race Team collectively clocks up hundred's of thousands of kilometres a year in travel to events. This product is a result of their feedback and testing!

The new Vaikobi Travel Bag is packed with features including:

- Super Tough 840D Jacquard Check Outer

- Super tough XL YKK zips

- 130cm long X 30cm wide X 28cm High

- One large long compartment which will easily store multiple paddles (Surfski/ Kayak 2 piece paddles, Outrigger & Dragon Boat Paddles) At the most recent Molokai Hoe, we had 8 OC Paddles in this bag!

- 2 smaller compartments to store clothing, toiletries and must have paddle gear

- Super tough truck wheels and soft padded handle to make moving around easier

- Padded reflective inner lining for extra protection of paddles and also to allow for wet items to be stored whilst keeping other compartments dry

- Super lightweight in construction to ensure you maximise your available weight to travel with

- Padded Shoulder straps for comfort when you need to carry instead of wheel

- Available to be embroidered and branded for Teams and Clubs

NOTE: This bag will be deemed as an oversized bag with many airlines however it has been designed to be counted as your one piece of luggage that you are allowed to travel with on most reputable airlines. Always check your airline's luggage policy on accepting one oversize bag as your one piece of checked luggage before you travel.

Fit Tips

If one of your body measurements is in between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

How To Measure

WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
HIPS: Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
CHEST: Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
