I just received my new Gearlab paddlebag for use with my Gearlab Akiak paddle. I have to say I was reluctant to spend $49 for a case, but this is one nice case! It's made of a sturdy nylon with a woven pattern that resembles the carbon fiber pattern on the paddle itself. The long zipper makes it easy to insert and withdraw the paddle. It has both a carry handle and a shoulder strap and a cinch-strap to adjust the length of the case to the paddle. My Akiak paddle fits snuggly in the case. The reinforced tip of the case provides extra protection for the tips of the paddle. The orange zipper, hand strap and Gearlab logo all match nicely. The overall design and quality of the case is topnotch. I was reluctant to spend $49 on a case for my $348 paddle, but I'm glad I did!

I can't tell you what the difference is between this new style of bag and the old, but I can say this is a very nice, well thought out bag. The fit is snug so there's no flapping material or extra space taken up, and the end folds over with a strap and a clip to accommodate the various lengths of paddle.
Three best features...
1. The strap is actually useful and well balanced for shoulder or hand carry
2. The padding in the middle really protects the paddle from marring due to rubbing between the halves.
3. I didn't know this when I ordered, but the paddle tip end has a hard cap to protect the business end of the paddle from impact.
Well worth the price.

This paddle bag is very well designed and of high quality. The separation of the medium protects the paddle from scratches. The carrying strap makes it easier to move around when our hands are cluttered. I highly recommend this product. I love it!

It is really hard to get excited about a paddle bag.
This bag fits a Gearlab paddle and does its job of protecting it. No fear sticking the paddle into the side of a rucksack and sending it into the airport luggage system. It also balances well on the shoulder with its own strap so that you can carry your paddle like a quiver of arrows. Very cool.
It works and looks to be well made. That is about all there is to this product and all there should be,

The New Paddle Bag is perfect place to safely store a Kalleq when not out on the water. It's well padded, easy to insert/remove paddle, closes securely and well constructed. Very happy with this purchase!

This fits very nicely. I’m not quite sure why the small end is designed the way it is and connects back to the bag with a quick release. Perhaps this will become obvious with use. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but seems to be made well.

This is the icing on the cake for my new paddle. Super well designed bag with padding and a snug fit. Carries my paddle comfortably by the handle or shoulder strap. I like knowing my paddle is protected from unnecessary bangs and scrapes.
A perfect fit for the Kalleq

Extreme protection for your paddle, I love it! Will be switching to this paddle for my Kq. Much appreciation for this paddle bag! Zipper is very durable and easy to undo with gloves, clips are strong, padding is abundant. Could use a little more drainage perhaps but I haven't noticed any downfalls. Would recommend this bag over the old one if you are travelling with your paddles and worried about breaking while shipping/travelling. Well worth the (inexpensive) price to protect your paddles!
When ordering my Kalleq paddle, I ordered various accessories from Gearlab (Paddle Bag, Float, Deck Pod, Port and Dry Bag).
The craftmanship of all Gearlab products is exceptional. I love the attention to detail.
For the Kalleq i have no words to express. It's absolutely amazing!
From now on, i´m dancing with the sea ;-)
Greetings from Bavaria and many thanks for so much perfect paddle equipment.
