You can take a look at the Mares Cruise Backpack Mesh Deluxe. It has some very good reviews. Will be getting one myself.

I didn’t try the mesh backpack at your link but I can tell you that I really like Mares, I have regs bag, backpack (and fins...) and they are all awesome the quality of materials and details for me has no comparison

I've picked up a number of boxes and bags over the years and just grab the one(s) that are good for the dive. I just buy something that looks like it would work, don't pay top dollar so if it dosent work as good as I thought I can find something else, then save it for the right occasion which may not happen for a while. Haven't bought anything new in years.

Ok as circumstances are currently dictated in my world
here I am about ready to throw some of my gear into the car, jump on a boat
and after a bit of bouncing around on the ocean, plonk into a wreck at 40 metres.
Left sack fins, mask stuffed in fin, bottle of tap water
next sack regs with console and computer
3L pony bottle of 50% Oxygen
BC with a bakpak full of lead shot, some tools, lights, dsmb
and a 15L bottle of 28/35 O2-Helium stuff inside
So add another tank for the second shallower decompressing dive
and stuff it all in the trunk without the complications of a box
that I can't move anyway without a herniating experience
But before I did that I went to the wetsuit builder bloke, served as an apprentice for a couple of hours
and we came up with a waterproof cocoon which really does have healing powers
After a day of dive recovery anyway
So it was dearer than a bag and dearer than a box but really it was cheaper than all
and coming up to two years the trunk is still mint
Where is that elephant
