| Review: | Hobie Mirage stow bag is well designed and built for the standard fins but is not quite large enough to correctly stow the Turbo fin set up. | ||

| Review: | Good quality bag only problem it is a little snug with the turbo fins. A must have though to keep the drive in. | ||

| Review: | The Mirage Drive Stow Bag serves several purposes. One, the drive can be put in the back seat, etc., without having to worry about snagging the seat or scratching the interior. Secondly, after rinsing off the mirage drive in fresh water, the stow bag keeps surrounding gear and interior of vehicle dry. Also, the stow bag protects from getting any spray lube that's on the mirage drive from getting on things. The bag also provides a handy way to carry the mirage drive, especially with an armload of other gear, not to mention actually protecting the expensive mirage drive from damage during transport. I am giving the bag 4 stars because it is a tad small for the mirage drive with Turbo ST fins to easily be put into the bag--it fits, but has to be somewhat wrestled into the bag, unlike a mirage drive with the standard fins that easily slips into the bag. Other than that, it would have been 5 stars. All in all, its a very good product, made very sturdy, and does exactly what it is advertised to do. Highly recommended. | ||

| Review: | absolutely the best way to keep you mirage drives in the best shape during storage. I have enough room in each bag that I store my pump and mirage drive in one and both break down paddles and the second mirage drive (we have the 14T inflatable) in the other. Easy to store. Worth every penny!!!! | ||

| Review: | Love this Hobie Mirage Drive Stow bag. I wish it had some sort of way to hold the paddle like an exterior pocket or straps. Bought one for a friend. She was so jazzed. Holds other small things as well. very cool ! | ||

| Review: | Stoutly made! Will protect your Mirage drive well and make it much easier to carry about. Also makes storage easier. We hang our up in the garage on the handle or shoulder strap. | ||

| Review: | I am really glad that I bought the stow bag (I bought 2 because I have a tandem with 2 drives). They protect the drive when transporting equipment and I use them to hang my drives in my garage using the straps to the bags. I have TURBO fins and although the fit is tight, they do fit! I also store my paddle in the bag. Of note, like all things Hobie, they are well designed -- they have ventilation so if there is moisture in the drives when packed into the bag, they can dry effectively. | ||

| Review: | I typically go out with at least two Hobie kayaks, so the SUV is always full of gear. The bag protects the drive units and also protects the truck after I lube the units with WD-40. I also pack a spare drive unit, in the bag, in the front hatch of my pro angler, just in case. | ||

| Review: | Sturdy, and just the right size. It's nice to have a protective bag for the bulky, but precious, mirage drive unit. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it on the prior outing. This bag accommodated the just-installed, longer Turbo Fins nicely, and has a long, thin pocket for the speed tube--if you have that. I was worried the tube would be too fragile to go in the bag, but it's actually quite flexible, and the bag is stiff enough to protect it well. The bag even accommodates the electric and hand inflators, along with the drive and speed tube. Glad I bought it. Seems like Hobie should include it with every Kayak. | ||

| Review: | We bought two Hobie Mirage Drive Stow Bags and upgraded to the turbo fins which fit snuggly in the bag. Makes it easier to care for your investment! We love them and would recommend them. | ||

| Review: | When you know how to handle its a great utility to have. It holds also a lot of other things you may need. | ||

| Review: | Not cheap, but worth the money. Lift the drive straight from the Hobie, wet and all, put it in your car, and off you go. Handy carrying strap for your shoulder keeps your hands free. 4 Stars because of the price. | ||

| Review: | It's only 40 bucks and it's designed to protect something that's worth more than 400. To me, that's a no-brainer. It has a little zippered mesh storage pocket perfect for carrying tools or spare parts, as well as a thin sleeve that was designed for the speedo tube, but also works great for holding a couple spare masts. | ||

| Review: | I mainly Yak in saltwater, I'm accustomed to putting the Mirage Drive inside my car since its $$$$. The plastic inner lining of the Bag keeps the saltwater excess within the bag and it's very easy to rinse out after transport usage. | ||

| Review: | I have two Mirage kayaks and only ordered one of these stow bags. Should have ordered two. Great protection for the Mirage drive system. I no longer have to wrap the drive in a towel to protect them. Will order another bag for the second kayak. | ||

| Review: | You could live without the bag, but I found it quite useful. The drive is a sort of wiggly thing that tends to flop around unless you tie the pedals together. The stow bag solves the problem, gives you a carry handle, and is a good place to store my spare fins and parts. | ||
