backpack mess gear bag for boat with wheels

[eenglish]

Any recommendations for a backpack mess gear bag with wheels that will also fold up and fit into the dive luggage bag that I use for air travel?

I haven't seen any with wheels...

I have the EVO Wheeled mesh bag. It easily carries all my gear (BC, fins, lights, snorkel, save a dive, etc) My only complaint is that if you dont weight the bag properly - it wont roll smoothly (will wibble wobble) but its a good bag. I've had it sitting as a backup - but if you're interested let me know

I use a stahlsac mesh bag. It works great, but no wheels.

I have one of these.

It is similar to the EVO and as Will says, they wobble. The problem with this is the handle does not extend. I am only 5-11 and am too tall for it.

Don't know where you are located, but I would trade it for, well I don't know what, I have everything.

Just re-read Will's post. He might have the duffel. Mine is the back pack. He is correct, weighting the bag differently can chnge the rolling properties. Also noted he will part with his also . Might say something for the design as a whole.

Nope, mine is just like yours Splitlip - and the handle is a bit low (but im 6'3+) but not too far of a reach or anything a slight modification couldn't fix. It's a good bag - just dont expect it to roll perfectly

I actually was playing with the EVO at the DD in WPB.

It did seem easier to handle for me with my < 6ft frame than the XS.
How you stow your gear definitely makes a diff.

Yep, you need to put all the weight in the back (backplate, fins, regs) and all the lighter stuff in the front such as wings or wetsuits. If weight isnt an issue it might help out to have some kind of metal sheet ballast on the back.

not quitea backpack, but I know a few divers who use hockey bags - many have wheels now and weight distribution is not a problem. Often a bag for kids equipment is big enough.
