CRESSI Piovra Dry Fins Backpack - Backpack/Bag with Water-Repellent Treatment for Long Fins and Fishing/Apnea Equipment, XL, Black/Yellow, Unisex

This is a huge backpack designed for free diving.Everything about it is high quality. It's made out of a tough, water-resistant material called DRY and carries the Cressi logo in subtle grey at the top and in vivid yellow down one side. There's also an attractive artwork on the back featuring two tentacles. The base of the bag is a thicker leathery like material that should withstand a lot of wear and the edges are reinforced with a plastic rod which both keep the shape and adds additional protection against wear. This bag should last a long even while taking daily abuse!The bag is 110cm long so it can accommodate the longest of fins in the main compartment.It is zipped for 90% of it's length so packing/unpacking is easy - just lay the bag down and peel back the entire top.The material is very strong so it's perfectly capable of carrying weight belts as well as all the other equipment - wetsuit, boots, gloves, mask, snorkel etc.On the sides there are elasticated loops, 2 on each side, for attaching a speargun.The front of the bag has a large, insulated pocket that is perfect for transporting cold drinks/food, or fresh fish.The bag has adjustable shoulder straps and a side carry handle. Both are very well attached to the bag and are capable of dealing with a lot of weight. There's also a chest strap and padding down the back of the bag, with gaps for airflow. Wearing it the bag feels nicely balanced even when heavily loaded.I really like this bag - it's simply made with professional usage in mind. Recommended!

A full 5 stars for this fin backpack, it has everything you need and the cooling compartment makes it special. The materials are particularly high quality! 2 pairs of apnea fins and masks etc. easily fit in it. The bag is roomy, practical, functional, comfortable to wear and looks great. It can accommodate free diving equipment for two people. The smaller pocket is thermally lined with insulating foil. It has great side tightening straps to adjust the volume according to the amount of items packed and convenient adjustable transport straps. I haven't found anything better for transporting large fins, (4 pairs fit) The main lock can be secured with a padlock. Great material and solid workmanship.well made and quality materials. gives the idea of being robust and long-lasting. it is quite roomy, not like one of the classic bags, but enough to fit the equipment with wetsuit and accessories

This is excellent quality. Perfect for diving and scuba gear but also for other sporting and recreational activities. The bag is long so will fit longer pieces of equipment in and it will be protected. I liked the large shoulder straps which means I can wear it like a backpack and it is designed to distribute the weight evenly.The material is of excellent quality and has a water-repellent treatment to keep your equipment dry. I have owned a few Cressi items and I have always been pleased with the build quality and this is very robust. There is a cooler pocket on the front and it's easily accessible through strong zips. A great product.

As a diver, mostly in the Indian Ocean, I've searched for a bag that can comfortably hold all the gear, including long fins, without compromising on convenience and bulk. This bag fits the bill perfectly.The design is eye-catching with its squid tentacle graphic and subtle colours.It's long and thin and not uncomfortably deep. It’s divided into two compartments: a spacious main one for my wetsuit, fins, mask, snorkel, and other equipment; and, a smaller, waterproof compartment for delicate items like my phone and wallet. The side laces for attaching underwater rifles are a fantastic addition, keeping them secure during transport, but not using these does not take anything away from the bag.I like that it can be carried in a couple of ways, with padded shoulder straps and a sturdy side handle. Despite its generous size, the bag is surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry.There was a bit of a niggle with the one I received. I noticed that the main compartment is not watertight. The fabric is only water resistant, which is a kind of formula applied to the fabric itself. This might be an issue for some if you like to go out in stormy weather, or indeed you get caught in one, or if your belongings become submerged unintentionally - in which case you may not have a totally dry interior.Overall, the bag’s spaciousness, the layout and the simple, yet edgy design, and above all, comfort, make it a great choice, despite not being watertight.4 stars

Although functionality is most important to me, this bag does not disappoint in terms of design. It looks really sleek and modern and I love the tentacle print at the back. I love snorkelling when the opportunity arises and this bag is a convenient and stylish way to transport my fins. Due to the large size of the backpack the carry handle is really convenient. The quality is premium and everything seems well made. The exterior cooler compartment might be useful to some but I doubt I’d really use it for cooling anything. If you have fishing gear this bag would be ideal as it is very spacious. I mainly use it for fins and snorkels so I’m not really utilising it to its full potential.
