🎒 Mares Cruise Roller: The Ultimate Foldable Scuba Gear Backpack Bag Review

offers space for two complete sets of diving equipment (buoyancy device, fins, boots, neoprene suit) and still has space for shoes and clothing. When I first used it, I weighed 49.5 pounds at the airport.

Very roomy but a little wobbly when standing up. The bag is made from very high quality materials and has accompanied me on 3 long dive trips so far with no damage from third world movers. recommended

Great bag. Durable, lightweight materials. Plenty of room and zipped for storage. It can carry over 50 pounds. At least 2 sets of equipment. I love the fin bags. Will stand when gear is loaded. The roles work well. There is also a handle on the bottom so the entire bag can be easily lifted. My only wish is that it has a smaller zippered pocket for emergencies.

Good bag with internal straps and good material. Very roomy (and easy to pack). The ONLY major complaint I have is the ability to roll a heavy gear bag once packed. It literally hits you in the back of your legs so you have to "shuffle" or hope you've practiced to keep the bag out of the way to flip it. Not suitable for shoulders and neck. Now I'm buying a new roller bag with proper traction support. Otherwise, Mares is a quality brand.

Empty bag weighs less than any other bag I've seen. The construction is solid. The design is amazing. It's a soft duffel bag until you tuck your fins into the specially designed side pockets. Once in the bag, it becomes almost as stiff as a traditional suitcase. Lots of nice little things. Matched my non-travel size BC, fins, reg, goggles and full size 3mm wetsuit along with my weekly outfit. The first time I didn't have to strain to keep the weight under 50 pounds.

Sturdy, lightweight bag, but a bit disappointing. It doesn't seem to be suitable for tall people. There is no strap or folding handle at the top, so tall people have to lean sideways to pull the bag. The wheels don't spin either. It's very uncomfortable. Changing the backpack is also awkward as the bag hangs under your butt making walking extremely uncomfortable and the wheels dig into your hips. It does not turn into a gym bag. There are no belts. Finally, the bag doesn't have enough handles…

So far this is what I need for my main hardware. Fits my fins snugly, plenty of room for a wetsuit, BCD, reg kit, maybe 2 of everything except the fins, it's only 1 pair that can fit. Otherwise fits like a glove in a small cross. Got good folding ability and so far it's great. Mares is one of my favorite companies for convenience and ease of use in storage and comfort in rashguards. The masks are good stuff, but some of them didn't fit. Still good products on it, tubes are good too.

This is a high quality bag with features I like, but it also has some downsides. Draft. What I didn't like: The bag has a bit of structure, if you use it as a wheeled base it's a soft bag (large ribs add some structure to the sides). No retractable handle When I rolled this bag behind me, the heels of my boots kept catching on it. The zippers opened and closed very easily and there were no built-in means to secure them; Outer pockets were partially open due to airline processing.

I used it on a trip to Hawaii and recently on a safari in Mexico. It's very roomy and I was able to fit two wetsuits, two sets of fins and a mask for diving and snorkeling. I also hid my clothes in it but I had to take a few things to get the £50. Checked Baggage Limit. Even with a low weight, this bag came off the baggage carousel at Alaska Air during a flight. On safari it was nice to be able to fold it into a compact shape and keep it out of sight. I preferred to toss it on my back when I…
