Waterway bag review

**East coast mermaid** · 12-14-2015, 03:28 PM

So I finally ordered a waterway bag and after 3-4 week of waiting for shipping it's finally arrived! I must say this thing is great, I've opted for the largest size they had with the durable thick backpack straps.

I have a mernation tail with a competitor monofin and it takes a little bit of wiggling but it fits! And I still have extra room for a bra or two with little accessories.

The end of the fins stick out a little bit but those are flexible and tuck in.

I put my flip flop in the picture as a size comparison because this thing is huge!

And so the last picture is just so you can see the width.
Over all it took me 5 mins to get the tail in because it sticks so much but I think this should hold up very well in the long run. Hope this helps anyone looking at waterway, I know I was iffy because I've got a competitor monofin in my tail but it looks good! Anyway hope all of you have a swimming day

I have had the WORST time trying to order from them. I have been trying since July. I hear great things about the bag but I ordered twice from their website, got a confirmation of my order, and then I was never charged. I followed up with them and asked if there was another way to place my order and I was met with very rude replies about how they never have problems with their website. I even included screen shots.

I am so glad it worked well for you, just so frustrated they wont take my money! LOL

There really wasn't much communication between us other then payment and confirmation, but I am located in Florida so maybe that made a difference? If anything maybe try to get it shipped to the states at a friends house?
But hopefully you'll get one soon and I recommend the padded straps because it's sooooo heavy! The only weird thing was the packaging, it was a black trash bag wrapped in tape and then more saran wrap and tape, hey but it was functional lol

There is a Canadian retailer somewhere - I ordered from the while I was living in NY because it was cheaper. I placed the order through email though. Also this was in like 2011.

Mine has held up super well though. Currently it is with Raven accompanying my tail.

I got my Waterway bag 4 months ago, but I agree, the dude was super rude even when I was ordering when I asked him a question about the foam and then didn't answer. I love my bag, but the guy was not very kind. I got the heavy duty one and I like that it has padding so I feel much more comfortable about my tail being out and about in a safe bag.
