Heavy-duty PVC reinforced wear-points Skid Rails and heavy-duty bronze YKK #10 zippers that are extremely durable, rust and corrosion resistant. To add to the strength of this great bag included is a security sleeve that conceals your equipment during transit, reduces snags on baggage carousels, yet allows access to the wheels and handle when employed.
Four external zippered pockets give you places to put everything you need accessible. Two large fin pockets that can hold a pair of fins each, exterior regulator bag pocket, and an upper utility pocket. To add protection to your regulator system you also get a padded regulator bag with easy-zip corners with a removable shoulder strap and padded console sleeve. You also have a convenientmesh pocket that holds your Akona polycarbonate water bottle for those hot days.
Internally rust resistant hardware, large full-length mesh pocket, two compression straps with 1-inch side release buckles, and full length PVC backingfor support, makes this one of the most well thought out design in roller bag technology. Don't forget to put your business card in the luggage tag before youtake that trip to Saint Somewhere.

Comments about Akona Akona AKB149 Elite Roller Bag with Wheels:
I use this dive bag every time. It was given to me by a friend as a present. I put all my dive gear into it and never forget a thing. It is sooo good looking and very strong. It gets its own attention! I have used it for moving some very heavy items with no problem even upstairs. I put the other dive bags into this one! This is the best as the wheels have big tread like tires they roll nice foward or backwards. The carring handle has a button to extend it two lengths 39 to 49 inches high, then retracts into a secret compartment and securly drops into its sector and zips shut. It has two large carring straps that can be retrieved for a backpack carring option. I would highly recommend this Akona Akb149 Elite roller to you.

Comments about Akona Akona AKB149 Elite Roller Bag with Wheels:
I read an article for from the manufacturer saying that this bag could hold 2 sets of gear, but that can only be warm water gear. This was the largest bag I could find for my gear. I use an extra large back flotation BC and with my 7 mm wetsuit I have just enough room. The fin pockets could be a little wider. I can get both fins in on pocket but I have to struggle. The main compartment holds my tool kit, mask box, save-a-dive kit, 7mm farmer John wet suit, snorkel, gloves, hood, booties, weight harness (not a belt as I am a big guy) knives, large and medium LED hand lights, and extra large back flotation BC.The external reg and gauge pocket holds the accompanying reg and gauge bag which holds the regs, guages, computer, and compass. I put all of my little extras, like goody bags, small lights, extra clips, wreck reel, etc. in the other medium sized external zip pocket. The water bottle and mesh holder isn't necessary as I always carry a cooler of water for when I dive. Strong wheels, durable construction and materials, strong 2 position handle are nice features. I am very glad to have this bag. Very large for travel with warm water gear, but its great for my local NJ dives with my cold water gear. I have an Akona Duffel Roller for the warm water diving trips.

Unlike the previous reviewer I have no problem with the space of this bag. I hold 2 pairs of Apollo Bio-Fin Pro C Series fins along with Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD, 2 Wetsuits, 2 Masks, Boots, and a little other gear hear and there. The bronze zippers are also great and very durable.

Sending it back; it's much smaller than I thought. Lacking inner pockets of old bag, it won't do the job for me. Too bad, really made well and would be durable for someone else. Make a bigger bag, please and I'll buy it! Like the bronze zippers.
