Love how lightweight the Akona Mesh Bag is! Just used it for my dive trip to Tioman—plenty of space for my fins and wetsuit, and it dried really fast after each use. The shoulder straps are comfortable, though I wish the side pocket was a bit larger.

Bag quality feels excellent—used it during my group pool training and it easily fit everything. The reflective strips were helpful when it got dark, but I found the padding a bit thin on the straps for long carries.
