    This is a simple roller duffle that weighs very little for its size. That is good because everything has to fit into 50 pounds (23Kg) in order to check luggage with the airlines.

    My wife and I are able to get two BC's, two regulators, two 5mm wetsuits, two sets of fins, two computers and some miscellaneous items into this bag and still be under 50 pounds.

    We have used the bag on about 12 trips and there is very little wear. I think we can get about 12 more trips out of it.
    The pull out handle is strong enough and the wheels roll well enough. In order to save weight this bag does not have a solid frame around the bottom so it does not stand by itself. That's a reasonable trade off.

    Another good aspect of this bag is that it has only two compartments. Baggage inspectors are required to open each compartment while searching. If you have a bunch of little compartments the process slows down quite a lot. Really I would prefer just a single large compartment that lets me organize as I wish.

    This bag is almost perfect so I give 4 flags.

    The bag holds a fair amount of gear but it doesn't hold up to average wear and tear. After a few uses, the plastic "tray" on the base of the bag cracked and broke in multiple areas. The exterior also developed quite a few nicks and small holes from where the fabric deteriorated. I also think it's a poor design with the two quick release straps along the top. Those work fine, but there is only one good strap to attach a bag tag too.

    I would also like to see one or two more features on the interior. A little dry sack or one or two small cavities for odds and ends would be a welcome improvement.

    While the bag still works ok, I only plan to use it for local dive trips, I'm fearful of a catastrophic failure during baggage handling at an airport.

          This bag fits in all of my diving gear, wetsuit include plus my clothes I will need for 4 days away. Would be a bit small if I was going for longer, but then I would have on board luggage if I needed extra. Good price too.

            Used on a 3 week dive trip to Indonesia - absolutely PERFECT. Held my BCD, 2 wetsuits, mask, fins, snorkel plus 3 pair of shoes, and lots of misc. clothing, a towel and music speakers! Super easy to navigate through the airport, easy to use handle, could stack other bag on top and use as carrier. I am super pleased with this purchase. It came through over 15 flights in excellent shape. I am going to use this bag as my general flight bag from now on, not just for diving. Great price, sturdy, has not broken. The 2 big straps are heavy duty. The handle part goes in a zippered area so it doesn't just pop out on it's own. A+. [...]
