Hi guys,
I'm thinking of buying a gear bag for travel, possibly a rolling duffle type. So any suggestions on brands? Scuba branded bags are a no go, since I don't want to advertise that I have expensive equipment with me.

I have shopped at Unrealfind.com on several occasions and the service is fantastic not to mention great products and super fast shipping and the prices are low. Everything I have ordered from these guys showed up within 3 days of my order and that was when I was back in Tennessee!!!!!

I had the Akona roller bag. The problem with a lot of these is that they fall forward when fully loaded. They're also inherently heavy. These dive companies aren't in the luggage business so they're never going to have as good of product as luggage-makers.
I sold it and bought a regular roller suitcase from Costco, which works perfectly and doesn't hint at being full of expensive gear. Also, when it wears out or breaks I can return it with no questions asked for a new one. I'm on my third one!

I've read about these Costco bags being good value for money, not the toughest build or finest workmanship but still an attractive buy. I've heard that you need a membership to this store.tangfish wrote: I sold it and bought a regular roller suitcase from Costco, which works perfectly and doesn't hint at being full of expensive gear.

Yes, you do need a membership. I think I'll be going at some point before you leave, I'm not sure when though. I was going to recommend one to you but when I think of it there's nothing special about the luggage from there if you discount the amazing return policy Costco has. Give REI a try and/or go to a luggage shop. REI is in Redmond Town Center about 10 minutes from where you're staying (without traffic).
