Regulator bag

[*Merlin*]

Any thoughts on the ST signature eddition regulator bag? I like the price but will it offer any protection for my regulator?

You mean this one:



Scubatoys Regulator Bag, Bags-Reg Bags, ScubaToys, Scubatoys Regulator Bag

Haven't seen one in person yet, but it looks pretty good from the picture.

I have this, and it's what I've seen from others, a standard padded regulator bag. If you're concerned about protection, you might consider Akona Deluxe Regulator Case AKB-655, Bags-Reg Bags, Akona, Akona Deluxe Regulator Case AKB-655 . I don't have the Akona bag, but it's stiffer casing might provide better protection.

i have the stahlsac roaton great bag good padding enough room for your regulator and comp.good looking too.you can also put other stuff in there makes a great carry on

I have the basic Akona, just enough room for my SP MK25, 7' Primary, 22" Secondary, and SPG.

A buddy of mine uses an old computer bag. The only think I don't like about it is his particular bag only opens like a portfolio. But there are plenty of computer bags around with plenty of padding that open up all the way and have plenty extra pockets.

I will likely move to something like that. I suppose saltwater could be a problem with the zippers - but I don't know that "regulator bags" have any special consideration given to corroding zippers either.

I have never used or seen the ST reg bag. I use the Akona reg bag it fits one reg perfectly. If I squezz it in I can fit my pony reg as well, but it is a little tight with all of that. what I have is the old version of this

(and even better, akonas carry on bay has a slot just for it)

I have the ST bag (it came with my regulator). It's work well for me and provides sufficient padding. But then, I don't drop-kick my regs across the room in it either. It depends upon how abusive you are.

I've got the ST reg bag as well.
It's not a bad bag for the money. It would protect your regs from a standing height drop.
They aren't quite as thick as the Akona.

If your not too abusive with your gear, then the ST bag would probably be just fine.

When traveling, I put my regs in my carry on bag. If your going to check in the regs, then something a little more resistant to abuse may be appropriate.

If you're looking to carry more than one reg, you might consider somthing like the Akona AKB615. I have an older version of it and love it. It has comfortable backpack straps, is well padded and holds 2 regs. It also has enough room for other stuff that I use it as a carry on when my wife and I go on dive trips.

I have the ST bag. It's padded and pretty rugged, but the zipper is a little lacking for my liking. But hey, it was free. I'll use it til it breaks. I give the ST bag 7/10 overall.
