Are unpadded snowboard bags ok for plane travel?

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010


I need to get a bag for my snowboard as I’m planning on flying overseas. I know that fully padded bags are the way to go, especially since the luggage just gets thrown around. But money is tight and I’m wondering if it’ll be okay to just get an unpadded one for 3 times cheaper and just stuff it with towels and clothes?

Of course I’m worried about my precious board but like I said if it’d be the same effect stuffing the bag with clothes, maybe even with more padding than the padded bags would have, would it give the same amount of protection?
