First, I have previously purchased a large (~100 lb) bag. It works great, always has, and I've used it many times hoisting anchors, crab pots, and even carying many burlap bags full of underwater trash (during a beach cleanup project).

I wanted another bag, but the small one, as I'd like it to be my surface marker at the end of my dives.

The small (~25 lb) bag is about as long as the large bag, but much narrower.

The bag is contructed well and is hearty, *except* for the oral inflator. Like another commentor said, it's simply glued on the exterior of the bag. My bag arrived with the oral inflator _already halfway detached_.

As I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, I employed some aquaseal after scuffing the surface of the bag and the bottom of the inflator. One day later and it's better than new. In fact, it's attached so well, I'd suggest this to the manufacturer. I've deployed it on a half dozen dives so far and it's not worse for wear.

My big beef with the small bag is that it doesn't have an over-pressure valve. This means that it is NO GOOD as a lift bag. You need to have the ability to release air as you ascend, lest you have a run-away ascent. There's no way to do this with the small bag.

Thankfully, I didn't want to use this as a lift bag but as a surface marker, so it works great for my use. -just not as a lift bag, which is what it is supposed to be.

Don't get the small bag thinking you'll be able to use it as a lift bag, unless the item you're lifting is the same weight as the maximum buoyancy of the bag (~25 lbs), otherwise, you'll be in for a surprise as you ascend.

I bought two of the 100# Quad Bags to use in Search & Recovery Classes I teach. These bags are doing the job now (after modification/repair mentioned below), but they have a fairly major weak point. The oral inflators on these bags are both a hindrance to storage and deployment, and they leak. The oral inflator part is simply glued on to the outside of the bag, no stitching or bonding of any sort. Both of mine leaked at the install point the first time used.

I ended up removing the oral inflators and patching the holes with a vinyl patch kit. They are completely unnecessary anyhow as the 100# bags have a dump valve... and who's going to fill a 100# bag manually? They are better bags now, but I'll buy the professional bags if I ever need another.

Excellent lift bag. Little bulky when rolled up, but this is because it is so well made.
