The bag lacks dedicated duffle handles, which the reviewer says can complicate keeping fragile items upright or near the top. Four handles make the bag easier to move, while removable foam shoulder straps help carry a loaded bag on the back. The reviewer says packing cubes prevent the bag from becoming bottom-heavy, and reports carrying it on many flights without checking it.
Its shapeless construction suits ropes and wetsuits, but the reviewer advises against carrying heavy, pointed objects such as air tanks. The reviewer finds the minimalist shoulder straps suitable for light loads but says heavier loads cause shoulder discomfort despite their foam padding.
