I would buy this product again by Sterling from Saucier MS USA
Pros: Excelent quality Cons: Replace metal handles Review: Very good pilot bag. But needs carry handles other than metal, as they are noisy. Use either nylon or plastic for carry handles, Needs pocket for fuel tester next to radio pouch.

Pros: Pockets, pockets, pockets in and out. Cons: As mentioned before, no quick disconnect for the radio pocket. Review: Great bag, the multiple pockets and the fold down front really keep things organized and available. It met most of my expectations, particularly the quality of materials and construction. For VFR, can't be beat. On the downside, the radio pocket strap isn't quick disconnect, and the size as described in the ad is wrong. I was looking for a wider bag, 5-1/2" would have been perfect, but this bag is actually only 3-1/2" wide (center section) which makes things tighter than I'd like.

Mostly very good by CCM from Pittsburgh, PA USA
Pros: Plenty of pockets, lightweight, well built Cons: aluminum handles have some downsides Review: In general this is an excellent product. It is easy to get into, and as others have said, there is a pouch or pocket for EVERYTHING. My only complaint to date are the aluminum handles. I thought they were distinctive when I bought the bag, but they rattle on each other and the zipper hardware if you're not careful, and they sometimes threaten to come out of the straps (though I haven't actually had one come completely out, yet.

Excellent Bag for a solo pilot by Gregory K. Harris from Lansing, MI
Pros: Compact size, multiple compartments, clean and durable design. Cons: No snap/buckle on the back-up radio retention strap. Review: The bag carries everything you need in one tidy package. The large compartment is big enough to carry a standard size aviation headset and my 5.5"x10" kneeboard, with plenty of room to spare. If you're looking to downsize your duffle-sized flight bag when you fly alone or on short trips, I can't recommend this bag enough. There are only 2 things I did not like about the bag, and they are minor issues. The first is that the handles are made from aluminum tubing...just seems a little strange to me. The second issue I had is that the retention strap for the back up radio must be threaded through the buckle each time you want to take it out. There is no Fastex buckle or military snap for quick access. These are minor issues though. I have 2 other bags that I never use anymore.

by Dave the Mooniac from Dallas, Texas
Pros: A place for absolutely everything Cons: None Review: I looked at a lot of different flight bags before settling on this one. And I've flown with it a lot now, and still like it. Try to find another flight bag that has special, dedicated compartments for your handheld transceiver, your iPod, your flashlight, your electronic E6B, your kneeboard, the 2 charts you use all the time, the 10 to 20 charts you only use sometimes, the airport directory, log books, $100 hamburger book, POH, 8 pens, 8 spare batteries, and a fuel tester. Remember, I said DEDICATED compartments. Not giant caverns to dump things, but neatly organized places for everything. When I get into the plane, I set the flight bag in the back seat, unzip the front compartment so it lies flat, giving access to all the organized interior items. When I leave the plane, it all goes with me. This is a home run product!
