Aquaskinz bag do look great.I will get myself a new aquaskinz small "tall" bag this year.That looks like something that might be very useful when swimming to rocks and when big bag gets in the way
I'll second the old VS bag. Simply incredible material. Even really sharp hooks have trouble penetrating it. I don't think it's possible to build a reasonably priced bag out of that stuff these days. Ballistic nylon or something, I don't know. The moment your hands touch it though you know it's the real deal.

The new one as Zeno stated is still solid, but not quite what the old one was. Aquaskinz is very well built too. The biggest advantage is the tubes in the Aquaskinz, the only downside to that durability is the weight. The double row Aquaskinz is fairly hefty.
