Basic dimensions of any BCD?

[Autolysis]

Hey guys, I'm looking at a gear bag to carry mine and maybe my dad's stuff, and was wondering if I need to pony up double the cash to go from a 22-24" bag to a 26" bag.

All I would need is length and width. I'll be wearing a medium Mares Prestige, and my dad will be in an Oceanic Pro Large if that matters at all.

I can reward with a "thanks."

What will you be using the bag for. Toting on a warm water boat or lugging the whole deal to a cooler site?

I picked up a nice duffel from wally world

Excellent, good to new condition, All sorts and sizes from name brand sports bags to luggage $50-$150+ for Ten bucks at Vinnies type stores?

Separate different bags is good. Like bathrooms.

Ohhhhh, the bc.
Either of your lengths are ok and about 16" to 18" width flat?

I would think fin fit more of a consideration.

Bigger with less stuff is better or bigger with the same stuff fits better.

You know.

Not to be a downer but I can get army duffle bags for $20 but guess what...

A drop of sea water on any of the zippers and they rust shut immediately.

I'll be a donkey's uncle if I get another bag with regular zippers. It's gotta be marine brass, huge plastic ones or anything that won't die at the mention of salt water.

Get something that is suitable for dive gear or you'll be taking along a ton of WD40.

the bag I bought has nylon zippers
thus the reason I bought it for my dive gear.

Very nice bag, I'll probably go pick one of those up.

I decided to use an older duffel bag to store everything so I could get a better regulator. But, for the price of that duffel, I might have to bite off on that.

It is a very nice bag and you can't beat the price.
If they don't have it in stock you can order online and get free shipping with ship to store.
