Can someone give me the dimensions for the meg i.e. the length and diameter of the canister.

The Canister is 18" long with a diameter of 7". Cross sectional Area of about 154 Sq.inches.

If you're measuring it to fit it into an overhead locker bag it willl...as long as you don't make the mistake I did grrrrrr £100 done the drain

Measured the unit and found me a lovely light weight overhead locker bag that matched the dimensions was super leight weight and even had wheels and an extendible handle...

In Fact it was this one....http://www.ebags.co.uk/antler/quartz...?modelid=43860

It came yesterday all shiny and new and sliver like....except that SOOOOO much space is taken up on the inside where the bloody extendable handle goes so you can drag it on its wheels that the zip wont close as the bottom is not flat - there is a sodding great big chunk out of the bottom which takes out like 3 inches at the top!

How much of the rebreather can be packed inside the can?

Actually, I was myself looking for a carry on sized case into which I could pack my new Meg which I have yet to receive. Any suggestions?

Cheers

It includes the lid of the head, not the elbow connectors for the handsets or solenoid feed or the ports for the breathimg hoses. All would add about an inch to and inch and half to the overall length.

None of it really, the spacer, and canister and head take up most room, I can fit my spares into the canister that's about it.
