Just received today. Great looking bag. Huge, lots of pockets. Looks very strong.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I purchased this product to make a move down to Roatan. It definitely will carry whatever you want inside, it does look small, but it held everything with room to spare. Only changes that I would make to it would be to but straps on the back, so it can be worn like a backpack, and put dedicated fin pockets in. I have never been able to find a regulator bag that fits my regulator easily, the one included with this bag did the trick. the console protector was an added bonus as well.

I felt for the money the bag could have been constructed a bit better

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

The weight of this bag is impressive. It is a very sturdy piece of luggage that holds my complete set of gear and a few days worth of clothes and weighs in (loaded) at about 48lbs. Light enough to avoid an excess baggage fee. It has lots of compartments, removable mesh pockets and lots of access points so you can get stuff out without unpacking the whole thing.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

We were totally please with this bag for the money. Wow, was this trip easy. Need to pack the bag with the thought that the heavy items are at the bottom down by the wheels. The bag can get top heavy and fall backwards when standing strait up.

One corner of the bag ripped a tiny bit, but you can tell the baggage handler had thrown it around on the pavement down in Belize, on the Coral runway. The corners could be reinforced with plastic.

Used to take all my equipment to the dive locations.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

OK... this is hard to describe so bear with me a bit.

The quality of this bag is good in every respect except for one. The long t-handle that pulls out the to so you can pull it along behind you at the airport is VERY poorly built. The handle is held in place by two TINY screws.

I bought two of these (there are two divers in the family), the screw was missing on one (causing catastrophic failure of the handle on first use) and is stripped out on the other one (which means I have to check it every time I use it to make sure it hasn't fallen out... I will be replacing it with a bigger screw when I get the chance).

Except for this obvious defect and weakness, it is a good bag.

This product may be good for carryon or people who dive with minimal equipment.

Big spacious roller bag. Fits all my scuba gear and more. Mesh zipper pockets help keep your gear organized. Great for taking your gear on vacation or a weekend trip anywhere. Its strong and protects your gear very well. The only flaw i found was minor wear around the zipper after my first use. Other than that its a great bag and i recommend it. It looks cool to.

The bag andincluded accessories like Reg bag is top notch. Akona deserves it's recognition as a leader in this area. Very heavy duty yet light weight.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I bought two of these for a trip to Kona. Arrived in good time and in good shape. One of them, however, failed on the flight out... the pull out handle broke on it (loaded with only 38 pounds of gear).The bag its self is very well made, good zippers, tight, you can get a full scuba set in it and still be under the airline size limit. I wear an XXL Jacket BC and use XL Scubapro Twin Jet Maxx fins which are HUGE and both fit, with wet suit, weight belt and everything in the case. I didn't put my regs and computer in the case because I carry those on with me, but they would have fit as well.If you are used to the "old style" bag which are now considered oversized, you will likely be shocked at how much smaller this is... but we didn't have any problems on the airlines whereas somebody with a bigger bag right next to us were hit with a HUGE oversized bag limit for their AquaLung bag and there was a big scene going on about it.If the handle had not been defective I would have given this 5 stars... but it was[...]

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This is a large capacity bag - it can hold a lot of gear! The top compartments can be accessed from either the outside or from inside the top half of the bag, which is nice. Bags with this capacity are good and bad - they can get quite heavy if you're not careful about what you pack in there.
When fully loaded, the bag may be balanced well and may tend to tip over. Of course, packing the heaviest things on the bottom of the bag helps alleviate this, but overall this is a good bag for moving loads of gear around.

Holds all my cold weather gear!

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Used for travel with one plus set of dive gear and accessories.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Compact bag that holds all your gear

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Got most of a daily dive gear in but little room for extras.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Great bag for checked luggage - lightweight - important now that there are weight restrictions on checked luggage. Rugged and well made. One great bag - really good value for the price. I have used this bag on several dive trips. Best dive bag I ever purchased.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This is a nice bag. I wear REALLY big equipment (XXL BC), Scubapro Twin Jet Max fins, and I can fit the BC, fins, boots, a 3XL 3mil wetsuit, weight harness, masks and regs in this bag but it is REALLY tight.

The bag is really tough and well constructed.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Nice bag. I don't like the zipper over the handle though. Mine got seperated while checked in and it took some pliers at home to fix it, meanwhile I didn't have a handle while traveling.

After the surgery it seemed fine. We'll see on the next trip.

It's working great for local diving, love it.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Perfect!! I love this bag, it has room pockets and fits all of my stuff with room to spare. Held up great through the Cancun airport's beating too!!

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Took it to Roatan and fit all my gear plus some extras. Fully loaded it still came in under 50 lbs. The mesh bag was great to keep items in on the boat. The regulator bag was a nice extra and took it with my on the plane. Can't go wrong for the price.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Lots of room for scuba gear plus. Also easily meets the new strict size limitations for checked airline baggage.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

It's a smaller bag then I had before,But everything fits

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Great scuba bag. Makes getting through the airport or to the dive boat easy. Seems durable, haven't had any problems yet(3 dive trips). With new airline weight restrictions, you will have to pack this bag carefully so you are not over weight! Would be nice if there was a dry compartment in the bag. The protective bag cover is useless, it rips easily and gets caught in everything. They should include a dry bag for dive logs, wallets, etc. instead of the cover.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Product is pretty sturdy, but does scuff easily. Also does not stand up on its own when packed. It does have easy to access front pockets and the detachable mesh bag and regulator bag are very handy. Overall a good buy.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I saw this bag in a dive shop but knew that I should take a look at leisurepro. It was $75 cheaper and I'm very satisfied. I've taken my gear and some of my husband's gear in it to Guam so far. Only item that's not perfect is the front top zipper likes to stick a little. Luckily, the compartments open up from the inside as well! ;)

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I've only had this bag one week, but I packed all my gear in it. ALL MY Gear... Oceanic Pro BCD, Vortex12 fins, dive boots, 3mm & 1 mm wet suits, Octo & regs, masks, dive lights, gloves, extra weights, odds n ends, & kitchen sink. It rolls really easy over rough ground so it should be a breeze in the airport. Good balance. Easy access through top zippers. Appears to well made. Time will tell.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Bought this for the wife. She thought it was just the right size for our dive trip to Cayman. With the new weight restrictions on the airlines, it was. We found it durable and the goods inside were easily acessible. I'm considering one for myself.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

big big pockets, has a place for everything. just wish it had pockets on the outside for fins, but it was big enough to fit everything in.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Have had it a year, been on 3 airline trips with it, and a few local boat dives. I seems to hold up to Philadelphia baggage handlers (The worst), United lost it back in November, but it turned up OK. It does have stability problems when really loaded, and My fins can't seem to find a comfortable spot w/o taking up a lot of room. I'd buy it again, and expect it to last awhile

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Was perfect for my trip Kona, Ha. Worked well on the larger boat. I had a good experience with my bag.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Great bag! I was able to fit ALL of my gear into the bag for our trip to Mexico. I used this strictly for air tranportation, and used another bag for on the dive boat. This worked out great! This bag has nice reinforced holes in it so that your gear can "breathe" while you are traveling, instead of getting home and opening up a suitcase that reeks. Allows gear to dry.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I can fix all of my gear in it.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This bag is the perfect size for dive vacations. It hold everything and still easily meets the 50# airline weight limit.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

The minor flaw is the cover for the bag as even though it has cutouts for the roller wheels, the cover easily gets caught in the wheels, drags and then shreds. It got so aggravating in the San Juan Airport I ripped it off and threw it in the trash. The only other minor flaw is the zipper binds at the midline where the cinch strap is sewed in. It can be a challenge when the bag is fully loaded. This may be a defect in my bag only as it appears if correctly sewed in, it wouldn't cause a problem.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Took this thing all over the place and beat the snot outta it. It's huge inside! The first dive bag I've owned that had extra room. Felt like I forgetting something. Nice big handles for throwing it around, big zippers, easy access. A nice big durable dive bag.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This is a great bag for traveling. the one pocket can hold 1 set of gear. With the restrictions on weight this works well

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Lots of space and pockets. Only problems have been with the retractable handle not working. Have since removed it. After 2 trips one of the wheels screws had worked loose. The design does not provide easy access to the nut to retight.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I think this bag is well worth the money. It is very roomy and should hold all your dive gear plus spares.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Good bag for the price. The cover that comes with it for travel is pretty much useless as the wheels can't roll when it's on. The bag does not stay upright when completely full, however, if you manipulate all your weights in the bottom back of the bag and leave the front pockets empty, it will. I'm very happy with it and would recommend it. I use Akona whenever I get the chance.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I've have used this bag three times while traveling on airlines and once by car to my vacations. While it holds all of my dive gear very nicely, on this last trip the wheel bolts came loose, cocking the wheels and making it hard to roll. The bolts holding the wheels were two different types and the washers were worn right thru. We think we have fixed it but I'm not sure for how long. For the price, I would have expected a little more.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

It looks like a very nice case, but believe it or not theres no room. When i bought this case i read that there was room to spare, but the only thing that rally fits is the mask, boots, and fins if you dont mind them being them squished

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This is the perfect bag for getting your gear from home to the dive location. Holds everything I have in a neat, compact bag that meets airplane requirements. Its really rugged and definitely built to stand up to the torture that the airlines subject our stuff to. I would definitely buy this again.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

durable

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

We purchased 2 of these bags for a snorkeling trip to Fiji, to hold all of our snorkeling gear (full size Akona Bio-fins), clothes, etc. It is easy to overload this bag because it holds so much. Which results in being charged for overweight luggage and makes it difficult to lift. Just weigh it once you get it packed!

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Bought this bag for airline travel due to its minimalist exterior. Don't let that led you to think its short on capacity. Plenty of room for a week long trip - while staying under the airlines 50lb limit.

Strong zippers, durable fabrics and the unique design makes it easy to spot at baggage claim.

The Akona is plenty big enough for all your gear; fins, mask, BC, boots and wetsuit in the main compartment. The zippered compartments hold all your clothes and extras. The bag is heavy duty and can withstand airline travel as well as dive site abuse. My wife and I each have one.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Received as a Christmas gift from my partner, and was quite surprised cause we had been wanting our our bags after a recent trip to Hawaii, where we had to borrow a friends old gear bags. It is a great product and cant wait to see what else he gets me this year

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Easy to use, with convenient access without having to unload all equipment. Handles easily for air travel.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

Easy to roll, good for air travel. Has access to inside through front openings, which allows easy access to equipment without haveing to unload everything.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

I purchased this bag based on a positive review in Scuba magazine. The 1st time I used it was on a 1 week trip to Bonair. It easily fit my wet suit, BC, fins, 2 masks, snorkle, some soft weights and most of my clothes. I was able to stay under 50lbs. and the overall size fits well within airline requirements. There is access from three zippers which made packing easy. The bag comes with a mesh accessory bag and regulator bag. There is also a weather proof cover that fits entirely over the bag which is awkward to use when rolling but is nice for storage. The Akona rolls nicely on large tough wheels and is very high quality. This bag appears to be bullet proof. The only problem was trying to identify the bag upon arrival in Bonair since about 25% of the arriving divers had the same bag.

Carries all my dive gear plus a tad more.

Comments about Akona Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

This bag turned out to be better than the reviews
that I had read prior to my purchase. It worked
great for myself and my wife. We packed all our
equipment into one bag. Including our wet suits.

We read the prior reviews and felt we needed one bag per person. We purchased 2 and now we have one for a spare.
