I can Stow my normal dive equipment load with no problem. Very organized and secure. It could be a little larger even though it is a good size.

Comments about Akona Akona AKB156 Progression Roller Bag:
The Akona progression roller bag is not exactly what I expected. The suitcase is large, however, flimsy which makes it hard to load scuba gear and additional clothing in the bag. The fin pockets on the inside, do not accommodate my twin jet fins. Due to it's size it is easy to go over the 50 pound airline limit. I have bought numerous scuba related items from Akona and have been very satisfied. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

Comments about Akona Akona AKB156 Progression Roller Bag:
I really like the bag overall, but would prefer if it had more of a frame around the perimeter of the body to provide a little more rigidity.

While we liked the bag, the material failed where it covers the handle rails on the first use on a trip to Australia. [...]

Comments about Akona Akona AKB156 Progression Roller Bag:
Took bag on vacation to Aruba and handled the travel very well. The initial weight of the bag is a little heavy (approx 12 lbs) so I had to be careful about the 50 lb limit set by the airlines.
There plenty of space for a set of gear along with some extra clothes and towels. I'm pleased with the bag overall.

I like the bag because it is durable and is made with quality materials. It's perfect for travel and for storage. It holds my 2 sets of dive gear (warm water and cold water) without a problem. The reg bag that's included is great too!

Comments about Akona Akona AKB156 Progression Roller Bag:
Just returned from a trip to Cayman Brac with my new Akona Progression bag. It is a huge bag, but all the gear just falls to the bottom when you use the wheels and handle. I was left with a big lump of gear in the bottom and nothing at the top. I have several other Akona bags, but this one does not meet my expectations.
Akona made the perfect bag about 3 or 4 years ago, but stopped production. They should reintroduce the Travel Roller Bag No. AKB162.
Are you listening, Akona???
