Re: Why is it so hard to find a good fin bag?

I use Ikea's big blue bags to hold my wetsuit loosely in the car. I leave my fins loose or put them in my big Lidl's rod bag (excellent value for 9 pounds sterling) if there is room. I use one of the small black Tesco's re-usable shopping bags for my weight belt, perfect size, fairly tough but not quite tough enough for the job. This works quite well for me but then I saw NZ forum member Ron's video:

...& so now I want one, & have added a Beuchat Antilles bag to my birthday/Christmas list! [Note there is also a more expensive waterproof version of the Antilles with a different design].

Rob Allen also produce some interesting looking bags. I actually turned down a chance to see some once but I am sure they are tough & well made -- that seems to be something of a RA/SA hallmark.The Rob Allen Spartan Dive Bag (DBSP), Deluxe Dive Bag (DBDL) or Tanker Dive Bag (DBTK) might fit the bill:
"Rob Allen Transit Bags
Rob Allen transit solutions are innovative
products to protect your investment.
Engineered to endure from
hygienic, abrasion and salt resistant
industrial grade PVC, Rob Allen transit
bags feature ultra durable dual locking
YKK zips designed.

The perfect partner to the Spartan gun
bag, Spartan dive bags keep your dive
gear ultra secure via twin locking heavy

all other dive gear.

everything and more into one bag. Ultra

a side pocket designed to accommodate
fins safely, mesh fabric to aid drying,
