Comments about Stahlsac Curacao Clipper bag:

So far, this luggage has been through 6 flights. I like that this piece has two main compartments. I used the bottom larger compartment for all my scuba gear, including BC, wetsuit, booties, mask/fins, Reg & gear bag. The top compartment was able to fit clothes for 10 days including two pairs of sandals and all toiletrie items, and even 5 lbs of non-perishable foods.
The luggage is one of the lightest weight pieces I've found. I like that it can stand upright completely packed with 50 pounds.
The only oomplaint (and a big one), is that the luggage suffered a 1 1/2-inch rip in the outer material along the upper side on the edge at the back where the metal rods are. It appears that the lightweight material sacrifices the durability too much.

Comments about Stahlsac Curacao Clipper bag:

I bought this bag after reading a review in a dive magazine about how it could fit a full set of cold water gear and I wanted to get a high quality bag. There is no way I can fit my Zeagle Stilleto BC, 7mm suit, fins, etc in this bag. Also the cinch straps are awkward to use. No I have to pay to send it back

Comments about Stahlsac Curacao Clipper bag:

This is my first real piece of "dive" luggage, bought in anticipation of an upcoming international trip. I compared this to the Stahlsac "Jamaican Smugger" and decided that I wanted the separate compartments since this will be my only luggage on this trip. So far I've only done a test-packing of gear, and it looks mostly good. Currently it's got a non-tropical set (stainless backplate, wing, 5mm XXL jumpsuit), fins, weight harness, and some accessories and I would say it's "mostly" full in the bottom gear compartment. With all of that, I have 9lbs left before I hit the magic 50lbs cutoff.

Which brings up one of the best features - this is LIGHT. It's amazing how they managed to combine sturdy (by feel, haven't flown yet) with lightness. It's nice that Stahlsac has finally caught up with the other mfgrs who went lightweight once the airlines cracked down on baggage.

I was sort of hoping to be able to fit a 2nd BCD into it (for my wife) but that doesn't look likely. I should have enough room for my clothes in the smaller top compartment as long as I stick to lighter warm-weather clothes. Since I don't yet know how well the compartments isolate moisture, I'm probably going to back dry clothes in plastic "just in case".

The top and bottom handles are a nice touch for wrangling the loaded bag around without stressing the fabric. The two ample cinch straps seem to do a nice job of pulling everything into a nice compact package. I don't know if I'm going to claiming it's carry-on, mostly due to length.
