Questions & Answers

Shopper : Could you swim with this bag on?JOHN H : I bought it to be able to carry provisions to where we were staying. It is not designed for swimming.LEWIS A : It is possible to swim while wearing this bag but not advisable. The bottom of the bag does have a bath tub style bottom with grommet style holes for water drainage but not for a solid flow through. The back has a zippered compartment for other storage but is not water-proof. While swimming this model would produce significant drag that would wear the swimmer out considerably. Leisure Pro does carry a comparable sized bag that is a roll top dry bag that would be more conducive to swim with as it would provide buoyancy as well.RENNIE W : I often do with a 100LB sack of portland cement.
Shopper : How much does this bag weigh?DAVID K : under specs it says 1.65 lbs. I weighed it in at 2.3lbs. Very well made and durable. This is my second vs. my buddy who got his at same time. Make sure you wash it well if near salt water.THOMAS D : 1.4 lbsJODY W : I can't tell you in pounds but it weighs almost nothing. I pack it in my dive bag when traveling on airplanes because it is so lightweight. I have dragged it all over the world for four years and it has served me well. Fits all my gear for warm water including 3 mile wetsuit. Plus love that it's rinse and go. Enjoy.DEIRDRE H : its pretty light about as much as a small duffle bag. not sure excatlyBENJAMIN G : This is an excellent. Bag not to heavy but a little bulky to pack. Less than 2 lbs.JUNE H : This bag weighs (empty) 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg)K H : Approx 2 lbs, relatively lightLEROY A : Maybe one pound, if that. It is just light mesh $or the most part.
John L : Does this actually come in pink?? I want to get one for my girlfriend! Thanks, John LewisLEWIS A : Yes a pink model is available from this manufactuerDAVID K : No idea, as i was only interested in blue to replace the one I had that had worn out after 10 years. Leisure pro should be able to tell you if it is in pink or StalsacBRIAN H : Yes it does.MACIEJ T : I got it in blue.
Shopper : Can you give me the dimensions of the bag?LeisurePro S : The external dimensions of the bag are appx. 28" x 13".
Shopper : Is the only access the drawstring at the top or does it have a zipper running down one side that serves as an access as well? Thanks!LeisurePro S : No side zipper access.

Great bag for a dive trip

I just returned from my first trip with this bag and it proved to be one of the most useful items I took with me. The main thing is that the fins fit comfortably in the bag and there was still room for the other necessary dive gear. If I had to make any suggestion it would be a larger compartment for stuff you might want to keep dry. It was hardly a problem however, and the ability of the wet items to drain was far more important since I could always include a dry bag for my other cloths. This bag was easy to transport as well. I consider it a good purchase.

I would recommend this product for an easy to carry light and strong dive back pack.

This product is just the right size and has back pack straps that make it easy to carry. I use it e sry week for my diving equipment. My last stahlsac lasted 7 years. I expect the same or better service as it's stronger.

I would definitely buy another one

This was a gift from my daughters to their dad for father's day. We just had a chance to use it and loved it. It's strong and fits equipment well, dries quickly too. I might request one for myself

Tuff Equipment / Quality bag

Took this to Mexico for a week snorkeling. Packed - fins, 3mm wetsuit, snorkel, mask, rasher, hat, towel. Dry side had 2 cameras, shirt. Small front pocket for keys and glasses. Sturdy, easy to organize. Perfect!

Zipper broke on very first trip

I purchased two Stahlsac products. The zipper on both the products broke on the very first outing. Oddly enough the zipper on the suitcase wasn't even used. It just broke....

I like it and haven't gotten it yet

bought 2 of these bags in 1992 and have used them for a lot of dives and for snorkel adventures. I have loaded them up with as much as 60 lbs ea and they handle the weight and bulk quite well. I am dissappointed that after 22 years my bag has started to fray and looks like it might give out someday and that I am having to buy another one.

Holds everything and packs easily

My spouse and I each have one and we pack them in our big gear bag when we travel. Then we just pull the stuff we need for each dive trip, shove it in the Stahlsac and go. I don't have to worry about weight or bulk or stowability, it's all good. It would be an improvement to have a couple of smaller pockets or dividers in the bag so everything didn't just fall to the bottom in a pile. The long zip section is a big help as is the front pocket, but more is always better.

Great bag

This is a great bag. Large enough to get a full set of equipment in, including bc. I love the fact that I can throw it on my back so that I can carry other stuff.

Good bag

I bought this bag to essentially carry my dive gear to and from the boat for diving and for fresh water cleaning of gear within the bag. Upon receiving the bag from leisure pro, the cinch locks on the drawstrings were broken. Not a big deal. I went online and bought new set of cinch locks that were better (heavy duty) than what the bag came with for cheaper than it would have cost to send the bag back. For a week in Cozumel, I carried my dive gear, which included everything but the tank, from the hotel to the boat and back again. The straps were comfortable and bag was easily able to hold everything. Love the inside pocket, which runs the height of the bag. It was good to store my rashguard shirt and shorts, as well as a towel. The mini mesh bag was handy for carrying my spare fin straps and watertight case for keys. So far, I am not disappointed in the bag.

Nice Bag

Get dive bag to take on a trip. This is the third one that I've purchased. The last one was a birthday gift for my recently certified daughter. We'll both be packing one with our gear for an upcoming dive trip to the BVI's.

We will give it a workout this April...and again in Oct, Nov, and Jan. It seems big enough to hold both my Zeagle travel fins and my wife's shorter fins, together with with masks, snorkels, and a towel.

Nice bag

[...] Removed bag and size is great and the pockets really are nice as well. I did find the clip that holds the draw cord tight to be broken. Trying to get that replaced but the bag in itself seems to be a really good bag.

Snorkeling Backpack for Two

My wife and I both keep our snorkeling equipment in this bag, and there's plenty of room. The shoulder straps are great to keep your hands free while heading to the beach. We also use ours on the boat. With weekly usage, this bag lasts us approx 3 years here in the Virgin Islands. At this price, its a great deal.

Great bag, but weak shoulder straps

I like this backpack and took it with me to Bonaire where it was fine. However, back home I put a little too much weight in it, and the shoulder straps are not sewed with strong enough thread and one of them pulled out in the middle, rendering that strap useless. I sewed it back myself with stronger thread and, hopefully, the backpack is back in business. Sure, put your regular gear in it...but don't include your weights. 20 lbs total is okay, but if you put in 40 lbs of stuff, you might be asking for trouble.

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE PURCHASED

By JON W.

This is one of the best things I have purchased for carrying all my snorkel and day gear. I was used to hauling all my gear around in a mesh carry bag (handles only)and it was always awkward and tired up one of your hands, we hike over lava flows and lots of uneven ground to get to the best spots, and you really need both hands free in these cituations. This bag fixes all of that and now have it all on my back. It holds all my equipment, a towel, underwater camera and dry clothes. You could p...

I purchased the Stahlsac Panama Mesh Backpack after looking over many reviews for similar products. I've only used it once, but it fits my BC, weights, regulator/octopus/pressure gage, fins, booties, mask, snorkel, extra mask, 2 bottles of Gatorade .... and I still had room. The straps are comfortable. There is a small bag in the front held closed with velcro that I used for my sandwich and a snack. There is a zippered pouch on the inside of the back running the full height of the bag tha...

Stahlsac Panama Mesh Backpack is a great travel destination bag.

This feature also gives you the option, at the end of the diving day, to submerge the entire bag into the wash tank on the dock or resort and rinse you gear while still in the bag. After rinsing simple hang, the bag up and let your gear drip and air dry, ready for your next day of diving.
