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

Yes this backpack should hold all those things well. Not much more than that though. Not sure if it is waterproof.

Mine wouldn't. It's also not protective at all. I got a separate reg bag that is protected. Just an FYI, I was carrying around all my gear: BC, fins, wetsuit, reg, save a dive kit, reel, recovery bag, etc., on an almost daily basis and the bag ripped along one of the seams after about a week and a half. Probably not really made for that kind of (ab)use.

Yes, I'm sure you could fit snorkel gear. I keep a few items in there when it's packed...dry pag, mini pole, lure box, vest...awesome board that can take a beating!

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

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.

I don't think it would be sturdy enough. I have hiked with it, and the bottom of the pack does not have much support. Also, the zippers get stuck and the zipper on the top pouch even broke. I would upgrade to something better.

I packed my camera gear and computer/electronics stuff in it for a trip to the Chukchi Sea. Weighed quite a bit but do not know the weight. It protected everything in very inclement weather.

I think the 10L is fine assuming your not packing winter gear like a bulky sweater, and even then it would hold all of your gear. I was able to put in two larger beach towels, shirt, shorts and a little pouch with phone, sunscreen, walket.

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. It carries 2 surfboards comfortably, 3 max. Any more than that and we used our own 1 inch strap

Great backpack. Carrys tons of gear. Highly recommend. As far as water resistance I am not sure. Also bear in mind there are many modern spray coatings you can buy that protect the fabric from water penetration. I would say if the bag was treated with waterproofing it should eliminate water leaching through the fabric. The nylon zippers could be the only vulnerable consideration. But if they were sprayed with protectant too my bet is the penetration through the zippers would very slight.

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 purchased this at the end of the season last year and have not had a chance to use it yet. I do not believe it will carry your scuba gear, however. It would be too heavy for the plastic wheels and frame.

Yes...but check my review to read what the actual dimensions and volume of the pockets are?my guess is that it can hold bags but you won't be able to add much weight that way..sand is not a good choice for this vest.....if you want to add 50 lbs or anything close to thatagain read my review

It holds a boyancy compensator, boots, fins, mask, snorkel, regulator bag, and a few odds and ends easily. About 25lbs of gear. I imagine it would work fine for football gear though I'm not a sports guy so don't quote me on that. It's about 3ft long and about 1 1/2 feet in diameter and the mesh stretches. I would be willing to bet it would work fine for your application just watch that the cleats don't rip the mesh up.

Yes, it's plenty big enough to hold your gear. However, it's just a regular backpack. It doesn't have any kind of padding on the inside, so you'll want to protect your electronics to keep them from getting banged up.
