Is this bag good for swimming? I want bag that has a mesh bottom too, so that pull buoy, fins, goggles, etc. can dry up quickly.

I think it would work well for swimming as the water would drip out rather than remain contained...It would definitely work better than any other back pack but the water might also leak out on the carrier's back since it is completely mesh.

Yes, this would be a good bag for swimming. It's mesh all the way around and it's a generous size. My son can fit alot in this bag!

Uhm that depends on what kind of sand. I have noticed that on the FL beaches (softer sand) the mesh bag does get sand in it, but on CT beaches (harder sand) it doesn't get in the bag that much. That being said I would NOT trade this bag for anything no matter what kind of beach sand. It's very easy to shake the sand out of it and I really have not noticed it in the towels that are not used or anything I put in the side pockets electronics included. Again I state I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bag for any beach "bum" or day tripper!!!!!

That is a difficult question to answer. The mesh part in the front where the ball or shoes may go would not be water resistant as well as the one side pocket that has mesh/netting. Water would seep into those areas. There is an enclosed inside pocket that makes up the bulk of the bag but I honestly do not think it is water resistant. I think that water could possibly seep through.

Peter, as long as the bag is intended for an 8 foot board, it should be okay. I would contact the guys at Curve, and ask them first, if you are feeling uncertain about this though. Contact the seller here on Amazon or Curve also has a web site. The company is run by surfers, not suits, so feel comfortable asking them real surfer questions! I own two of their bags and am happy with 'em both.

Please excuse me as I try to help you. This word is misused a lot at times. Can you go diving with it and keep items dry, most likely not. I have been caught in a few downpours of rain for extended amounts of time and my items inside were dry. So I would say the bag is water repellent to an extent. Waterproof meaning surrounded by water on every inch of the bag and not allowing water to penetrate, and I don't think it would pass that test. My bag kicks butt, I have abused, thrown, and almost wanted it to fall apart to justify trying something new out, but it won't give. Due to that I bought a smaller condor bag and molle gear.

I have not tried it in water. The material is waterproof but the whole bag looks more water resistant than immersible and water tight as there are zippers.

I don't know the difference but per my review, i can recommend the bag. It can carry snorkle gear for 2 including wetsuits and is high quality. I bought the one that was like $10 more than my friends bag and his definitely wasn't as big or nice in terms of overall quality. Hope that helps!

This one is pretty big and not great quality. Check out the Planet Wise brand wet bags. They are great, and I think the sizes are given.

Yes and the bag has a hard plastic bottom.Great for wet areas.The zippers are excellent.I have two.One for fresh and one for salt water

The bags are a heavy unlined canvas and have a fold at the top with velcro that keeps it tight. If you filled them with water it would leak through the bag and the top. I'm assuming your wondering about water so you don't have to carry the 40lb bags of sand around. I'm thinking if you could find some kind of water/liquid bladder that you could slide into the bags then then fill with water. You may want to check into a sporting goods store, but that option may be quite expensive especially since you would need 4 of them.

I got the TYR Big Mesh Mummy Gear Bag for my 8 yr old son. It is the perfect size for his kick board, fins, and towel. And the bag is mesh so no mildew or funny smell. Love it!

Like a few other responses I've never used RowaPhos but I can tell you this bag has the finest mesh of any bag I've ever used. Are you familiar with Seachems purigen? if so, you know how tiny the purigen media is. if not their extremely small and this mesh bag holds them fine....

No- it's far too narrow for fins. I use mine for keys, phone, wallet, etc.- I don't think that zippered pouch is water proof, maybe just, water "resistant"

Yes. I snorkeled with it and everything stayed dry. I did get a smaller (3 pack) of tiny dry bags to go inside that held my iPhone & camera but it wasn't needed. All my clothes and towel stayed dry the entire trip.

Well Jack this bag is water proof. How ever I haven't fully tested that ability. For when I'm out day hicking and it rains I and my gear are under a rain poncho. Also just because a product say waterproof doesn't mean it stays that way forever.Take care of your gear and it will take care of you

I don't have the bag anymore. I've sold it with the board. As far as I remember the bag didn't have any pockets. I think it will not fit 6'6" fish or might be really tight fit. The bag unzips only at the bottom of the bag, it might be hard to pull the board out if wax melts.

In my experience, these bags are completely water proof even when fully submerged at shallow depths (I actually used a smaller size one to hold my valuables when snorkeling off a public beach and dove down 8 or 10 feet repeatedly with it), but because of the air inside, it's pretty buoyant. So, while it is submersible, you would have to weigh it down with something to keep it underwater.
