I am the above avergae size diver and my wife is smaller than average (the 2 do not average out to fit all the gear and weigh in too heavy for airplanes)

I use the bag to transport gear to the resorts, but too big for a boat, it is tough, BUT the first use the plane crew busted part of the zipper (still using it tough).

I have been diving for 12+ years and done lots of boat trips and travel trips. I have always been amazed how long the bags I have owned in the past lasted but I decided it was time for a new bag so I decided to try Akona (same parent company as Sherwood).

While the design is fine the material is the really bad. Looks good until you take your first trip. For some reason this material is VERY prone to split and cut rather than get some light abrasion. I predict this bag will fall apart in 1-2 years of light dive travel, which I find unacceptable which is why I give it only 1 start.

Stay way bag is made of POOR material!

The backpack allows us to travel with all of our scuba gear and add in clothes as well.
Another good use is to transport our backpacking equipment easily. The extra storage spaces allow us access to needed items quickly.

        Traveling down to Belize from GP Ab I never had an issue with any of the big airlines even tho I was on a smaller plane Dash 8 no problem at checking in at all. It fits all my gear plus my clothing and I'm not a small boy at 6ft4in.

        Comments about Akona Roller Backpack with Wheels (AKB144):

        I bought two of these and have had them for 4-6 years. After a couple of years the wheels and telescoping handle rusted out. The materials where the zippers are attached will start to fray and eventually tear. Now, I only use the second one carry my equipment when I travel overseas. I try not to expose it to salt water directly, as I expect more rusting. I would only buy this product to carry dive gear overseas, when it doesn't have to be exposed directly to salt water.

          Comments about Akona Roller Backpack with Wheels (AKB144):

          This bag was large enough to fit my and my husband's dive gear. (Two of everything except the regulator.) We are estimating it at about 55 pounds right now - we'll see for sure when we get to the airport next month. The bag being over the airline weight might be the only problem - but that is an airline issue, not a bag issue.

          We used this bag to travel to Mexico for a recent dive trip. As mentioned before it will hold two sets of gear. BCD,masks,fins,2mm shorty,iso-fleece,save a dive kit,flashlights,various accessories, and even one small safe box for hotel. We always carry-on our regulators. Great rollers able to handle the 60lbs. (Continental has weight waiver for Scuba Equipment). Could have down-weighted to 50# if needed! Excellent bag and will use for many years! Very durable! Could not find any flaws!
