Mares Cruise Mesh Scuba Diving Gear Compact Self-Draining Foldable Travel Duffel-Style Bag, 37.5x15x15

After doing through a few other bags I have finally found a winner! Some of the other bags that I have used developed problems that made them unusable such as corroded zippers and seams ripping out after just a few uses. Here is what makes these Mares bags different... The zippers are made from non-corrosive materials and stay clean and in perfect working order. The handle straps wrap all the way around the bag in such a way as to add stability and distribute the weight, avoiding heavy spots that rip out the seams. The bags make perfect rinse bags. So easy to just through all the equipment into the bag, rinse, and hang to dry. The mesh allows for plenty of water to enter the bag for rinsing and my equipment dries thoroughly. And did I mention how large this bag is? It is huge! It easily fits my reg set up, BC, mask, fins, snorkel, weights and belt, a towel, and my wetsuit. With room to spare! If you are only taking snorkeling gear it would carry gear enough for 2-3 people. Even extra long fins fit into this bag. The only thing that I would change would be to add clips and a shoulder strap so that it could be carried on my shoulder. That would make this great bag even better!

This mesh bag is great! Been using it for a couple years now. Easily fits a family of four masks, snorkels, fins and vests with room to spare. It is fairly durable and the mesh is nice for water to drain and/or using the hose to wash off the Salt Life right through the bag! Its nice to have a bag like this knowing all your gear is in one place and ready to go. I would recommend this bag and feel its durable for many years of use. Note: I am not compensated in any way, I write honest reviews from my actual experience from using the product in an effort to give back for all the product reviews that have helped me make a good purchase. If you found this review helpful, note it below. Also, I respond to comments if there is a question.

Alot of times in order to get a great product as a result of "thinking outside the box" you have to look outside the discipline to find it. Thats what I did in this case. I am using this bag to contain my tent and it is perfect. I also go spear fishing and find this bag to be extremely useful to hold gear. Anything in the bag can be rinsed while in it and then hung to dry. There is plenty of room for my tent and its base layer to dry out. Size is perfect, the design is very thoughtful and the materials and build is very high quality and tough. Definitely recommended. Thanks Mares.

Good diving bag. Quality of mesh is a lot better than my other mesh bags. Zipper is in good quality and have no issues so far. Good thing about this bag is the size. It fit my long fins (apnea) perfectly, mask, snorkel and booties and other a pair of smalls fins too. I try to minimize the bags I bring on dive trips so this is a good all around bag as you can also use this to bring your wetsuit (plus extra clothes) together with dive gear. Haven’t test it out yet on dives so I do not know how durable it is when exposed to salt water but it seems others have not problems with it. On a different note, I just wish they had a better design for the side compartment. You can still use it but you need to access the zipper from the inside which is not really convenient.

I bought this bag as a gift for my boyfriend for him to bring on a spearfishing trip to Mexico. He absolutely loves it! We looked far and wide for one big enough for his fins and all of his other gear, and we finally decided to give this one a try despite the fact that it didn't have any dimensions posted. It was perfect! It easily fits his extra long fins and all of his dive gear with room to spare. We couldn't find anything big enough anywhere else. It appears to be very well made and it's been super durable so far. Strongly recommend!

The bag can hold my whole gear packed, that is pair of fins, 7mm wetsuit, boots gloves hood, my BCD, my regulator in a bag, my gopro extended stick. I use it from boat to land. When you open up the bag, there is also a pocket pouch that the carrying case turns into and you can store stuff there like your defogger, extra tethering cables, your lunch... I carry my weights separate, not sure if it can hold up to it but that is fine for me. I would not use it for any travel and I would never check it as a luggage. Highly recommend this bag, great price!

Fits all of my free dive spearfishing gear with room to spare (though my 110cm speargun is too long for it, my 55cm fits). It's long enough to fit my 31" Beuchat Mundial One-50 fins (that's including g the foot pocket). You might be able to go 2" longer, but that's about Max. The handles and straps are rugged and can deal with quite a bit of weight. When the bag is loaded heavily, I use the handles as a short shoulder strap. It works well for the walk from the truck to the boat. I use it so much that I bought a second one for my son's snorkeling gear.

I bought five of the mesh duffle bags for boating, to carry snorkel gear, a few flotation belts, and fins. Nothing too heavy. In less than 3 months, two of the bags have broken zippers (on both ends of the zippers!). And another two have tears along the zipper, so those have gaping holes along the zipper seam. SO disappointed! Of course, the return window is closed. They used to be such a good brand, now it’s just garbage. They are three months old, I might be able to baby them and get another few weeks out of them before all the zippers fully break and then they will end up in the garbage. Disappointed! You are charging too much for such a bad product. On a good note, the mesh is holding up really well. I was surprised. It’s just the zippers and stitching that is very poor quality.

Heavy duty, high quality mesh bag. I am 175 cm tall and I can carry on my shoulder as well. Long enough to carry my open heel large size SCUBA flns. Absolutely recommended.

Muy buena calidad. Muy buen tamaño. Muy bien diseño. La bolsa se empaqueta dentro de sí misma y la hace muy transportable y fácil de guardar. Recomiendo producto.

Tasche ist riesig gross, genug Platz für das komplette Equipment. Dabei ist sie zusammengepackt sehr klein und leicht. Stabilität gegen reissende Nähte ist top! Evtl. wäre als Kompromiss ein "dichter" Boden statt Netz eine Idee. Würde evtl. den Inhalt etwas besser gegen schafkantige Gegenstände am Boden schützen, wenn die Tasche beladen am Boden steht. Aber das geht nur zu Lasten des Gewichts und des Packmasses.

Really impressed with this bag. Very well designed and put together.

Ok
