The perfect dimension for a short trip or a full day of diving. Mares new x-strap system allows traditional handles to be extended and attached to a metal hook creating shoulder straps to convert the bag into a backpack.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise X-Strap Foldable Duffle Bag:
this very nice duffel bag i am able to carry two full sets of scuba gear my wife gear and mine its very durable bag and you can convert the hand strap into backpack straps which is nice if you have more bags to carry with all scuba gear back its holding about 50 pounds well worth the money but one thing you must think about if you have long fins they will not fit in the side pocket

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise X-Strap Foldable Duffle Bag:
I already own the Cruise Backpack Pro and for those of you who are familiar, it is a huge gear bag. I was looking for something that can carry some additional gear when going for long trips or to use for quick local dive trips when I didn't want to lug my other gear bag around. This gear bag work perfectly for both applications.
One of the main reasons I am even writing this is because I have read on some previous reviews that there was some trouble fitting dive fins in the front pocket. I own the Tusa Zoom split fins and my girlfriend owns the Aqua Lung Sling Shot fins. I was able to get each pair to fit (not at the same time obviously) without any trouble. Although the Aqua Lung's are a little tight. The actual measurement of the front pocket is about 25 inches. I did test this while the bag was empty so that may have a slight affect on whether or not the fins will fit, but as long as you don't pack it full it should be ok.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise X-Strap Foldable Duffle Bag:
As the other review pointed out, the fin pocket is just a hair too short for my fins. The fins do fit in the bag itself, however. Other than that, there is plenty of room for all my gear and some extras, including log book, slates, etc.
This is a very durable bag and has proven to be very useful for local shore dives and driving trips.
Great Service and delivery - as usual. On time and well packaged.

Comments about Mares Mares Cruise X-Strap Foldable Duffle Bag:
My Mares fins are too long for the fin pockets which is the reason that I selected a Mares product. I guess thats what happens when you assume. Wanted a bag for the boat and to travel with. As a result I end up putting my fins inside and transfering items to my son's and wife's bag.
