Product Information

The Akona Huron Dry DX Mesh Backpack is a large-volume rubberized coated mesh dive bag built for divers who need to haul a full set of gear and let it rinse and drain dry. It holds 371 liters, measures 30" x 15.5" in diameter, and carries on padded shoulder straps with a saltwater resistant YKK #10 zipper.

Who it is for

This bag suits the diver who wants a larger-size bag with ample space for a full gear load. The open mesh construction means you can hose the whole loaded bag down at the dock or rinse tank and let water run straight out, so wet gear is not sitting sealed in nylon on the drive home. The backpack-style padded straps keep hands free on boat ladders, beach walks and long parking lot hauls. The larger size offers ample space for bulky gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the Akona Huron Dry DX Mesh Backpack?

It is a larger-sized bag offering ample space for your gear, with exterior dimensions of 30" x 15.5" diameter.

Is this a dry bag or a mesh bag?

It is a mesh backpack, not a waterproof dry bag. The body is rubberized coated mesh, so water drains straight through and gear rinses and dries inside the bag. Use it to carry wet gear home from the boat or dock rinse tank. It will not keep contents dry, so pack towels, electronics and dry clothes separately.

What colors does the Huron DX mesh backpack come in?

Four colors are offered: Black (AKB235BK), Blue, which Akona lists as Dive Flag Blue (AKB235BU), Tiffany (AKB235TL) and Magenta (AKB235MG). All four share the same 371 liter volume, 30 inch by 15.5 inch dimensions, padded shoulder straps, exterior pocket and YKK #10 saltwater resistant zipper.

How durable is the zipper and hardware for salt water use?

The bag uses a saltwater resistant YKK #10 zipper plus rust-proof brass grommets. The mesh itself is a rubberized coating over extra strong mesh. Akona backs the bag with a Limited Two Year Warranty. Rinsing with fresh water after each dive day still helps the zipper run smoothly.

Review summary

5.0 24 ratings across the web

Reviewers consistently describe this as a large mesh pack that swallows a full set of dive gear, with several noting an entire dive system fits with room to spare. Build quality comes up repeatedly: buyers call it sturdy and well made, and two returned to buy again, including one pair that lasted 25 years through salt, sun, and air travel. The mesh lets you rinse gear right in the bag and dries without mildew, and the padded shoulder straps make hauling easy. Good for divers and snorkelers wanting one roomy bag for full kit and travel.
