Comments about Akona Carry-on Roller Bag (AKB176):

Very nice product but it is too big for both Delta and United Airlines carry-on. Both have 22 X 14 X 9 limits. It will technically fit without the outer pockets full (defeating the purpose of using the matching reg bag inside it) but the crew will not always allow you to take it on. It is a nice bag but I bought it to be used as a carry-on and can't on the airlines I use most.

Great Bag!!! Just purchased the bag after looking at it for many months. Used it on a recent trip to Omaha Ne. No problems with TSA baggage regulations. The bag fit into the overhead compartment like a glove. I plan to buy one for my wife, who travels more then I do. I recommend this bag for anyone needing a small Carry-On Bag. Looking forward to using it for my next dive trip.

I got this bag to carry my rEvo Mini Rebreather. This bag is just large enough for the CCR to fit, giving it the protection and portability I was looking for.

Comments about Akona Carry-on Roller Bag (AKB176):

I read with amusement divers who think they can pack for three weeks and put everything in a carry-on. Get real. I have been diving for 37 years and would never consider trying to put my dive gear in a carry-on. And with the new weight requirements, my wife and I have to split gear just to check items like masks, fins, spare kits, lights, knives, BCDs, and all the little stuff one takes on a dive trip. What does go in your carry-on are items like, regs, dive computers,camera's, tickets, chargers, and yes, this bag allows you to take a laptop fully protected. We have been using this bag for nearly 2 years and I came to the site to purchase a second one for my daughter who is going to Europe this summer on a non-dive vacation. In fact, we have stopped using our Tumi carry-ons on business travel for this bag because of the laptop compartment. We have traveled the world diving and once landed in Australia with full complements of gear, cameras, and video equipment for 6 weeks of diving. We had 8 full bags with clothing. I wish we had a bag like this. It is a must for any serious diver.

I was totally psyched to buy and use this bag. However, it does not qualify in my opinion as a carry on bag. First, I was traveling for 3 wks in the Caribbean interviewing for instructor positions. I needed all my gear with me. I packed my BCD, masks and wet suit in the bag for the flight out of the states. Fins were in my other bag because this one would not allow them. When I did try to pack everything in the zippers pulled apart. I managed to get it to stay closed with only the fins missing. Reg went in the outside pocket. In order to use this bag as carry on and get it in an overhead, you can not pack a reg in the outside pocket, nor can you use the nicely designed organizer pocket at the top of the bag. With these filled it will not fit. On the way home I managed to fit my fins in, even though they are 1 inch longer than the bag, by laying the fins and wet suit inside the bcd and squeezing my masks and other random things in empty space that I had left. The reg still was outside. I actually got finished diving before the end of my trip and packed the bag and was concerned if I opened it I would not be able to get it closed properly again because the zippers are that unreliable. Even the front pocket zipper separated and that just had my reg in the Akona reg bag. I would suggest to anyone looking to buy a new bag, just get a bigger one that will hold all your gear nicely and be prepared to pay the extra bag fee. If you are island hopping like I was this fee is outrageous but you can not carry this bag on anyway. I only recommend this bag if you have to just carry a few dive items, and your BCD is one of the more inexpensive models or a back bladder model.
