Apparatus for storage, protection, or transport of sporting devices

An apparatus for storage, protection, and/or transport of skis, comprising:

• a pair of tip engagement portions connected to a pair of tail engagement portion by a strap;
• wherein each of the tip engagement portions is formed with a proximal end opening and a closed distal end and wherein a ski tip is inserted into the proximal end opening,
• wherein each of the tail engagement portions is formed with a proximal end opening and a closed distal end and wherein a ski tail is inserted into the proximal end opening;
• and
• wherein the strap biases the pair of tip engagement portions toward the pair of tail engagement portions, and into engagement with the ski tips and the ski tails;
• and
• wherein the apparatus is devoid of any other securement mechanism, besides the strap, to secure the tip engagement portions into engagement with the ski tips and to secure the tail engagement portions into engagement with the ski tails.

An apparatus for storage, protection, and/or transport of skis, comprising:

• a pair of tip engagement portions connected to a single tail engagement portion by a strap;
• wherein each of the tip engagement portions is formed with a proximal end opening and a closed distal end and wherein a ski tip is inserted into the proximal end opening,
• wherein each of the tip engagement portions is formed from two flat panels fixed to one another around all but one edge, forming the proximal end opening,
• wherein each of the two flat panels forming the tip engagement portions have the same shape and size,
• wherein the single tail engagement portion is formed with a proximal end opening and a closed distal end and wherein a pair of ski tails is inserted into the proximal end opening,
• wherein the tail engagement portion is formed from two flat panels fixed to one another around all but one edge, forming the proximal end opening,
• wherein each of the two flat panels forming the tail engagement portion have the same shape and size;
• and
• wherein the strap biases the pair of tip engagement portions toward the single tail engagement portion, and into engagement with the ski tips and the ski tails;
• and
• wherein the apparatus is devoid of any other securement mechanism, besides the strap, to secure the tip engagement portions into engagement with the ski tips and to secure the tail engagement portion into engagement with the ski tails.
