I pulled mine a LONG way through the streets of Playa del Carmen, Isle Mujeres, Virgin Gorda, San Miguel, etc. without a problem. My last trip was a bit much for the bag when it didn't arrive home with me. US Air returned it the next day apologizing that it was hit by an airplane. They weren't lying - I was reimbursed for all the damage done and purchased the larger bag this time. My XL tech BC really stressed the zipper. The wheels are a bit noisy, but while they appear "cheap" they are very rugged. Other than being just a little small and not holding up to nuclear attack by the airlines, this was a good bag.

I bought two of these for a trip to Kona. Arrived in good time and in good shape. One of them, however, failed on the flight out... the pull out handle broke on it (loaded with only 38 pounds of gear).The bag its self is very well made, good zippers, tight, you can get a full scuba set in it and still be under the airline size limit. I wear an XXL Jacket BC and use XL Scubapro Twin Jet Maxx fins which are HUGE and both fit, with wet suit, weight belt and everything in the case. I didn't put my regs and computer in the case because I carry those on with me, but they would have fit as well.If you are used to the "old style" bag which are now considered oversized, you will likely be shocked at how much smaller this is... but we didn't have any problems on the airlines whereas somebody with a bigger bag right next to us were hit with a HUGE oversized bag limit for their AquaLung bag and there was a big scene going on about it.If the handle had not been defective I would have given this 5 stars... but it was[...]

    A real nice bag. My husband bought the same bag a few years ago. When I got certified and started buying gear, I wanted one too. It's great. Arrived quick and undamaged. Can't wait to take it on a trip!

        Comments about Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

        I bought 3 of these bags (we have 3 divers in our family). One of the zipper pulls came off the first pull (not a big deal). We traveled to the Maldives (3 connections) and back...so far, so good. I had to stuff an extra BCD in my bag and it fit. Material doesn't appear as durable as expected, but let's see how many more dive trips and airline baggage handling the bag will survive...

        Not bad for a reasonably priced bag.

        • Low capacity
        • Ripping to bits

        Comments about Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

        I bought it because of favourable reviews. I found it didn't hold much, not wide enough. When full, it's a nightmare to close, no give in the bag at all. Both handles and top of the bag are now ripped. I hate it

        Poor quality & design - tore on 1st trip

        Best Uses

          Comments about Akona Evolution Roller Bag (AKB155):

          First impression was good in that it has good capacity and all my gear fit the bag well. My excitement quickly vanished as the bag wouldn't stand upright once my gear was in it. There are no front 'feet' to keep the bag upright on it's own. Second major frustration was that bag didn't even survive the first leg of my trip as the top handle was ripped off by the time I got to my destination. Web research found that I wasn't the only one with this problem. Would not purchase this bag.
