Comments about Armor Armor Rolling Mesh Duffle Bag, #98:
I use this bag regularly, at least once a week for several months now: To practice pool sessions, to the rocky shoreline, beach, on a dive boat, on a plane.
This bag fit: 7mm wetsuit; 6mm hooded vest; 6.5mm booties; mask; snorkel; fins; weight belt with 28 pounds; Diva BC, Akona regulator bag with: regulator, octopus, ProPlus2 computer console; knife; surveying gear: slate, caliper, 30m transect; 2 towels, swimsuit.
With the exception of the regulators and computer, I checked all this stuff into baggage claim for a plane ride and it handled just fine.
Wheels work fine so far. Sometimes can be hard to maneuver, but I usually carry it on my shoulder anyhow.
As for the previous review about the grab-handle being not so functional, this is somewhat true. I am about 5'6" and the handle used to wheel the bag around is almost the perfect height, if I was about a half-inch shorter it would be the perfect height.
If you are tall (taller than 5'7"), the wheels will serve no purpose to you as you will have to bend uncomfortably to access the grab-handle to wheel it around.
The manufacturer should make the handle be extendable, like many carry-on luggage bags, then this bag would be perfect.

This is a great bag in every respect except for its intended purpose - easy transport of gear. The bag lacks an extendable handle like the Akona; instead it has a grab handle at the end of the bag. This is fine if you are 5'9", but for tall people, you have to bend over to pull it down the dock, and it is very difficult to push and control its direction. Given that extendable handles are commonplace, this design is downright dopey. It was a real struggle with heavy gear and a long dock and parking lot when I dove Grand Caymen last spring, haven't used it since.
