Hello, fellow fin-wearers,
My use case is rather niche, which may explain why I haven't found information on this. Sometimes, I combine trail walking with wild swimming. The problem is that a regular daypack, such as one would wear on a day hike, is too small to carry my fins conveniently. The fins stick out the top, preventing the pack from zipping shut. This in turn requires jerry-rigging some means of holding the zippers in place so they don't work open and spill the pack contents. Conversely, the usual gear bags designed for carrying fins (and everything else) are too big and cumbersome for convenient trail walking.
I would like a nice compact means of carrying my fins (and mask and snorkel) on the trail when hiking to a wild swimming location; preferably to be worn like a daypack. The fins are the SeaDive SeaDart, to give you an idea of the size. Does anything like this exist or will I need to design and build one myself?
