Not going to lie, one of the main reasons I got the bag was because of the awesome Kraken logo. However, aesthetics of logo aside and what I think to be a pretty affordable price, the bag is great so far. I've only had it a few days now and will have chance to take it on the boat this weekend for my first open water dives (getting certified!), but so far, all my gear fits with more than enough room for growth for all the other gear I'm left to collect. I got to put my gear in and rinse it all off in it for my pool dives, however, and it worked great. All my gear got clean and all in one place and left it all to dry before storing away again with no problems.
When you get the bag it's so neatly folded into a nice little circle and you easily fold it out and flip it inside out to reveal the bag, and that's when I discovered that once you do so, the zip to open the bag forms the travel pocket in addition to having the side pocket on the other side - super easy. By the way, this nice storage method makes it a great for my dry bag too. There's lots of great space all over for both the little and big stuff. I've read some people complain about rope-style mesh versus the synthetic-like plastic mesh, which is supposed to be stronger, but I had a chance to compare at a scuba show over the weekend, and some of those mesh bags looked rather flimsy with bigger spaces in between for me, while this bag is more closely spaced - but enough to let water through when you rinse your gear, and let enough air through for it all to dry. I'd have to see over time how the wear and tear factor compares, but I've been fairly rough with it in only a few days already, and it's holding up nice.
I was so excited with my bag I checked Kraken Aquatics for other gear, as I'd love a dry bag too with the logo on it (It's a Kraken for crying out loud, how awesome is that!?), so I'm looking forward to seeing more products coming in from this group and buying some of my other gear with them as well. Also, kudos to the company for contacting me to let me know about my purchase on amazon and asking me if everything was in order. A really personal touch there that I did appreciate as a customer.
