I love this! It is sturdy, the reg bag is a nice plus, and it's padded. To clean it, all you have to do is hose it out. This fit ALL my gear with no problem - even my BC! I have a pretty bulky Zeagle Ranger BC too. I don't think this is listed but it also came with another wallet-style bag. Like a matching pocket-type thing of some sort made of the same material. I don't know what it is supposed to be for, but my dive tables slide in there perfectly and are handy for when I need them rather than shuffled around on the bottom of my bag. In the outside pocket I could fit "backup gear" like a spare mask in a hard case and a skin, which was cool. The wheels have nice treads on them; wheels make travelling with gear sooo much easier! Travelers, please note: this bag is pretty big - it's the size of real luggage, not "carry-on" size. Maybe a little "clunky" to load onto the boat, but there was always boat staff to help me out. They laughed at my bag, saying it was huge, but I didn't think it was, nor did I care because it was so convenient and fit under the seat perfectly on the boat (I had a duffel style mesh bag before which was a pain). I could only find one con with this bag and it's no biggie to me: I dropped my fins once which were in the side strap; they got knocked out somehow. But then again, maybe I didn't have the strap tight enough because I was in a hurry. I would totally buy this bag again and recommend it to all my friends. I was impressed with the quality from the minute I took it out of the box.

The Akona progression roller bag is not exactly what I expected. The suitcase is large, however, flimsy which makes it hard to load scuba gear and additional clothing in the bag. The fin pockets on the inside, do not accommodate my twin jet fins. Due to it's size it is easy to go over the 50 pound airline limit. I have bought numerous scuba related items from Akona and have been very satisfied. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

Comments about Akona Progression Roller Bag (AKB156):

I've had this bag since 2008 and now need a new one. The bag needs an inside pocket for the regulator. The zippers aren't made for locking. Fins barely fit in the fin pockets and worst of all the plastic stablizer on the bottom so the bag doesn't tip over started cracking and breaking off. Too bad my warranty expired.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was prompt.

Comments about Akona Progression Roller Bag (AKB156):

The only reason that I did not rate as a five is because I have an Akona bag I bought in 2005 that is a backpack that fits all my dive gear and was very well built. (still going strong). Note to Akona- you built them better before. I bought this bag for my luggage as another Akona bag I previously used now exceeds maximum luggage dimensions. The regulator bag is nice and the shape is better than the previous square design.The insides of the front pockets are very thin and look as they might not hold up. No worry because my regulator (along with a lap top)fits in the Akona commuter which I will use as a carry on.

Comments about Akona Progression Roller Bag (AKB156):

Overall, I like the bag. Plenty of room for everything. Reg bag is nice, positioned on the outside for ease, good. A bit too big to bring on the dive boat, but great for travel. No drain holes in bottom, fabric stays wet.

Good Bag, Bad Zipper

    Comments about Akona Progression Roller Bag (AKB156):

    The bag is a good size for full wet suit, fins, hooded vest, clothing, and other stuff, but can handle more than the 50 lb. weight limit, so you have to be a little cautious. Used it without incident for perhaps 5 dive trips to the Caribbean, until the last one when a zipper cog/tooth broke and cannot be repaired. Airlines are tough on bags, but thought the zipper teeth should last longer than they did. Have to buy a new bag now.

    I bought this for my son. All of his gear fit into the bag with plenty of room. He was even able to pck his weights and wetsuit. If he had needed to pack an extra wetsuit it would have fit as well.
