Includes two fin pockets and two front pockets, the upper pocket is completelyremovable. All Mares bags include rugged and durable construction wheels. With a diameter of 9 cm and a with a tire tread 3cm wide, they can maneuver over streets, through airports and to your dive with no problem. All Mares bag wheels are attached with stainless steel screws. This system makes the wheels much more durable than bags using rivets. With little effort a large piece of luggage canbe transformed into a comfortable Backpack. A big pocket positioned under the bag's case contains two soft shoulder straps. In a minute your wheeled bag becomes a backpack. Additionally, the innovative Mares x-strap System converts the traditional handles, by attaching to a metal snap hook, into the shoulder straps of the bag.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise Roller Foldable Backpack with Wheels:
This is a great bag for keeping your diving gear. The side Fin pockets keep large fins, booties, gloves, etc. The only downside is that I wish the main compartment had some tie-down straps to hold things in place. Otherwise, no complaints.
Great company to deal with. Shipment was quick and accurate.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise Roller Foldable Backpack with Wheels:
First time on a dive boat the top pocket tore open while the bag was being stowed. There was no unusually rough handling involved. The materials used to form the sides of the pocket are not as strong as would be expected in a dive bag.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise Roller Foldable Backpack with Wheels:
I got this bag after my dive instructors recommended it to me. They've used theirs for over 2 years and they travel a lot. At first I didn't like because it looks a little deformed after unpacking it, but once I got my gear in it, it was standing upright. It rolls nice but even better it has backpack straps so I can roll my other luggage bags with two hand and pack my dive gear on my back. I carried a set of dive fins in one side and snorkel fins in the other side. Once at our resort I packed it up and put it in my other suit case for the flight home. For the money it's great!

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise Roller Foldable Backpack with Wheels:
I used this bag to carry a 1 full set of tropical gear on 4 trips. By the end of the last trip, the sides of the bag along the wheels had worn through and now there are holes in the bag. Since it doesn't have a frame or support system, it sort of slumps down on itself and falls over and doesn't roll properly. I returned to to Mares and was told it was not covered by warranty because the bag was "overstuffed" and "was subject to excessive wear".
So apparently it's meant to carry a set of snorkel gear to and from your bathroom. Stick to making Regs and BCDs, Mares. Your luggage quality is well below your standards.
