DESCRIPTION
Ideal for travelers, well groomed in every detail


Cruise Backpack Pro is the flagship of the new Mares Cruise collection. Large and durable wheels, telescopic handle, external fin pocket, spiral zippers, padded shoulder strap, stainless steel rivets, additional beauty case with mirror inside, and nylon cover for added protection. All Mares bags include rugged and durable constructed wheels. With a diameter of 3.5 (9 cm) and a with a tire tread 1.2 (3cm) wide, they can maneuver over streets, through airports and to your dive with no problem. All Mares bag wheels are attached with stainless steel screws. This system makes the wheels much more durable than bags using rivets.

When the terrain gets a bit rough, with little effort this large piece of luggage can be transformed into a comfortable Backpack. A big pocket positioned under the bag's case contains two big and soft shoulder straps. In a minute your wheeled bag becomes a backpack. Additionally, the innovative Mares x-strap System converts the traditional handles, by attaching to a metal snap hook, into the shoulder straps of the bag. Just put the padded shoulder straps over your shoulders and you can maneuver through the busiest airport terminals, sandy beaches, up or down boat ramps and docks or staircases.

Mares' biggest bag is ideal for a long trip with its telescopic handle. Hidden in a pocket on the top of the bag this handle, when needed can be extended, making it very easy to pull and maneuver the bag, even when the bag is full of dive equipment. This durably constructed bag is made of strong 600 Denier Nylon and heavy duty PVC, with sturdy spiral zippers and zipper pulls. The detachable pocket is an extremely useful additional bag. Handy as a small toiletry or beauty case ideal for travel or during a tour, just unzip it from the main bag and you can freshen up without dragging the entire bag with you into the rest room, head or shower.

Plenty of room in the main compartment with an overall bag dimensions of 14.5 L x 14 W x 31 H (36.9 x 30.5 x 78.8 cm) and a volume of 4.64 cu ft (131.4 liters). Enough room for a full set of cold water equipment or two sets of warm water gear. Large and ample side fin pockets add to the versatility of this strong and durable travel bag system. With additional top padded handle and hard plastic base with handle, you're ready for your next diving adventure. Bag weights 15.5 lbs (7 kg) and comes with a 24 month limited warranty.

This is a great dive bag/luggage. I was able to fit 2 sets of fins, 1 pair in each side pocket, as well as the usual gear for 2 divers with no problems at all. There was ample room to fit clothes, other travel items as well. The extra pockets are very handy, and there are a lot of them.

The materials used are top notch and the construction is of very high quality...this bag has been a great investment and I can tell it will last for many, many years to come. This is a very durable bag and probably the best piece of luggage I own.

The only drawback is that the size of the bag is very large and it is very easy to overpack the weight for an international flight...I recently took a trip and had to remove items on both flights due to the weight. Be very cautious of how you pack this bag or you will pay extra at the airline check in counter.

    Got to use this a couple of weeks ago on our trip to Cabo. Fin pockets are great. Was just under 50# with two sets of gear, which is exactly what I expected.

    Comments about Mares Cruise Backpack Pro with Wheels & Telescopic Handle:

    The only real complaint I have it is very easy to over pack the bag, as it is very roomy. I was able to put 2 BC's, 2 sets of fins, goggles, 1 shorty wetsuit, and 2 sets of boots and come in just under the 40lb weight limit of Allegiant Airlines. This bag is great, and will be our new travel bag no matter where we go.
    It does come with a cover for travel, and a small vanity bag with mirror.
    I would rate this a '10' if it were possible.

      Comments about Mares Cruise Backpack Pro with Wheels & Telescopic Handle:

      Been diving for 40 years and have owned many bags throughout the years. This is by far the best bag I have ever owned. I purchased the bag for a cruise trip to Cozumel and Roatan and even though this bag is very large, it manuevered easily from boat to boat. The main thing for me other than its durability is the fact that even when full this bag stands without tipping over.

        Comments about Mares Cruise Backpack Pro with Wheels & Telescopic Handle:

        After looking at nearly every bag on the market, I finally decided on the Mares Cruise Pro. This bag is everything I was looking for and more.

        The construction is very solid with heavy-duty everything, from the material to the zippers (very important to me). You really feel like your gear is safe in there. There are pockets for absolutely everything including fins, masks, boots, regs, logs, and it even comes with a very handy toiletry bag (that fits perfectly in one of the front pockets) with a built-in mirror - perfect for between that last dive and the restaurant.

        This bag is very easy to carry. You can roll it from either the main handle or for an easier time you can use the telescopic handle (that has its own pouch to keep it protected). The best part though are the hidden backpack straps - you are just two snaps away from wearing this bag as a surprisingly comfortable backpack - perfect for getting on and off of boats.

        Yes, the empty weight of the bag is a bit heaver than a standard duffle, but well worth it for the heavy-duty quality and the peace of mind that your gear is protected and that this bag will last a long, long time. Fully loaded with all my damp gear (excluding tanks and weights, obviously) I was still safely under the 50lb mark.

        I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a good traveling dive bag - you won't be disappointed.

          Comments about Mares Cruise Backpack Pro with Wheels & Telescopic Handle:

          Got this dive bag for a recent trip to Saint Maarten. We went via cruise, so no worry about weight. This bag held 2 sets of dive gear(TUSA Plantina BCD's, 2-3mm wetsuits, masks, Fins-TUSA Z-3's, snorkels, boots, regs) for myself and my wife, plus camera, tools, save-the-dive kit. It was heavy, but the wheels made getting from the cruise ship to the dive shop very easy. It wasn't too heavy to lift onto the boat, but it was way over the airline industry's 50lb limit. I would definitely buy this bag again, because we can carry both sets of gear in 1 bag, but if you want something for just 1 set of gear, it is probably too big.
