How many companies will warrant their products against airline damage?........after having lots of other dive bags needing repair from constant mishandling, I decided to spend a little more for a well-constructed, great dive bag........

Comments about Stahlsac W421-B The Jamaican Smuggler:

The bag is built well enough and will definitely withstand airline travel. However, despite several reviews I read regarding interior space, this bag can clearly hold only one complete set of dive gear. So if you're only looking to hold the one set, with little or no other items, this bag is great. However, if you wish to pack a few pieces of clothing, or some additional gear, I'd suggest a bigger bag.

This bag has proven to be a great travel bag.
You can put 2 sets of dive gear in this bag.

It is light when empty and is tough enough for the careless baggage handlers.

I have an Akona Evolution that I thought was pretty good for dive travel until it became apparent that it was designed poorly and constantly fell over. I bought a Jamaican Smuggler for my husband, and gear-bag envy set in as soon as I saw that he could pack all of his gear easily and come in at least 5 pounds lighter than my bag, well under the 50-lb airline limit, and it stood up by itself. Well, I bought my own Jamaican Smuggler and it's definitely better than the Akona in terms of capacity, weight, and balance. The Smuggler has one very large double-zippered compartment with cinch straps to keep things snug, and a good-sized second zippered compartment above it that's easily reached from outside. Inside the cover of the main bag there's a zippered mesh compartment for some small items. I would prefer more compartments, but that would cut down on capacity and add weight. The external cinch straps keep the bulk to a minimum, and the handles are pretty sturdy. The wheels are somewhat small, but I haven't travelled with it long enough on rough surfaces to know how they'll hold up.

I recommend Stahl Sac to have an extended handle for us tall guys. Other wise we tall guys hold the extended handle and drag the bottom of the bag and that frays bottom of the bag Quickly. Or bigger wheels....great bag
