I like Pelican cases and a select few of the First Series Argonaut Krakens came with them.....But they expensive. Since 2014 I have worked with three different manufactures of bags to come up with a solution.... Where I'm at now is........To get a bag that is large enough, padded enough, with internal retention straps to keep the regulator in place and tough enough to satisfy my requirements would retail for almost $100.00...NOT GOING TO SELL MANY AT THAT PRICE......I had two companies look at the Aqua Lung bag made for the new Mistral and was told my cost if I bought 100 of them would be $130.00 per bag...So that's a no go as well. I would love to find a cost effective solution that meets my criteria but so far I've got nothing.
I can tie up 10K in bags that may or may not sell or I can invest that same money into stuff that goes under the water that I know will sell.....
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB
