Aires Deluxe Cargo Bag Exp?

[WonderSlug]

Howdy all

Has anyone had any exp. with the Aires Deluxe Cargo Bag? (http://www.diveaeris.com/Product.cfm?PL=bags&SL=Dlx.car)

Im looking at getting a gear bag for some overseas trips and this one kinda caught my eye with the features. Any pros or cons?

Thanks

I just bought this bag and havent traveled with it yet, but I can tell you its very nice. The quality is good, the design seems intelligent enough. The only thing I wish was different was that when you seperate the 2 bags, there is no way to take off the backpack straps on the top bag. Im not sure if the airport will hassle me about that or not. I guess I could tape them up if they complain. Other than that, it seems great. Dive gear goes on the bottom, clothes on the top. I was going to try to check in the bag as one bag, but after reading comments regarding small puddle jumpers to your destination, ive decided against it. If I was going non-stop somewhere I wouldnt have a problem, but I will be traveling from San Francisco airport to Roatan, Honduras via 3 planes, so Im going to play it safe and split my bag into 2. I will post more after I return from my trip on the 27th.
