i need a backpack to carry my wetsuit, gloves, booties and other wet gear after snorkeling. will this backpack be able to handle the weight?

It is constructed of rip-stop nylon so it may be able to handle the weight. I am not sure though. Probably have to try it to find out.

I think it will. But I am not absolutely sure as I have never put that much weight in it. But it is sturdy

Definitely. My husband and I used it precisely for that during a recent trip to Aruba. We had no problem putting in two sets of mask, fins and snorkels, plus my Hero 3 camera, lotion, sunglasses, keys, small purse, etc. This is definitely NOT a one-person bag for snorkeling gear. It is really designed for a scuba diver with a large wet area and a small dry area, and could easily accommodate a mask, fins, a snorkel, a regulator a BC and some weights (sorry, then tank wouldn't fit!).

I am not sure about this, but I think it isn´t water-resistant. Nonetheless it is a very good backpack! I love mine..

Yes. as the straps are pretty long and not super sturdy. You might do better to have the pack infront so you can manage the weight if something goes wrong wit hthe straps.

Hi I have it stuffed full of clothes, toiletries, a radio, a bag of snack food, blanket, rain coat, shoes and anything I could think of in case of an emergency. The material seems very durable and is waterproof. I don't know what heavy items you are going to put in so I can't answer that question. I love it though. Hope I never have to use it.

I would say yes. I have only used it for backpacking and all of my stuff fits in there perfectly. I'm assuming you will only be taking clothes so you should be good with this backpack. I love this backpack!

yes. I put all my gear there (BCD, weights, boots, computer,1st and 2nd stage, all thats needed for diving) bag is big and strong.

No - as mentioned the build quality is really poor. If you try and stuff this backpack, it will tear.

I would say yes. I purchased this bag for a day pack use while I was in backcontry of Yosemite. It was also my carry on for the flight out and had all my rock climbing gear (cams,nuts and a rope about 25 lbs). It's lightweight and really handy.

It should be. I have it filled with water, food, clothes, and still have extra room in there. I guess it depends upon how many things you want to take. If you carry a lot, go bigger then.

Yes there will be some room- just depends how "tight" you roll up board- but one set of mask snorkel and flippers would fit for sure

My personal experience is that the backpack will hold up under a mild wetting, but if you're going to try to walk 5-10 minutes in a downpour, spray on some waterproofing material or you are going to be rather upset.

I've been using sandbags from ankle weights like stated by other, as well as two dive weights. Each of those is a four lb square about 3x3 inches.....It's a tight fit but works.The vest is sturdy enough to handle 50 lbs but I haven't gone above 40 with mine.

Yes it will. That is if you don't have the very loooooong skin diving fins. You'll have room to spare with this bag.

Yes, there's some padding on the straps but it's not super thick. I can carry all my dive gear in the bag comfortably.

My son used it for a 5 day wildernes trip, but we hadably to scale down his load because he only weighs 65lbs. It could easily carry 70-80 lbs of gear. would say you can make it work if you are only taking limited clothing and food. If you are not caring much food or cooking supplies, I think it will work great. There are lots of pockets for toiletries and personal items. A 30 degree bag in a stuff sack fits in the sleeping bag section perfectly. I am 5'5" and the pack length fits me very comfort
