Great bag with a few small issues.
by thefetttler from Twin Cities MN
Pros: Price, Lightweight, Lots of configurable compartments, Springy strap.
Cons: Weak strap clips, Handles do not link toghether.
Review: OK I am a Sound engineer. I love pilot bags because they have so many compartments for accessories.
Overall this bag rocks. It is a little large but compared to other bags in it's class it's tolerable. Like a medium duffel with a rounded top. This bag does not fit in my bikes side basket. The pad on the shoulder strap is elastic and absorbs shock while walking (nice!). I find this bag to be quite lightweight compared to my past Man purses. I was a little worried about the quality of the zippers at first but they have held up well for the past few months. I modified the handles with a velcro strap so they stay together in transit. The clips on the strap will break this year and are often over extended if I overload the bag. I will replace them with carabiners when they break. All in all I will probably get another one if it lasts another year.

Obviously not designed by a pilot
by A Customer from Ohio
Review: This is a waste of money.
To begin, the strap fell off the bag the first time I used it. There must be at least 30 pencil/pen holders...which is excessive. There's really too much to describe here...but take it from a seasoned pilot...this product is junk!

Good Bag But....
by Joshua from Council Bluffs IA USA
Pros: Tough bag with good organization pockets
Cons: The straps
Review: I really like the bag, it is the tough sturdy bag that I am looking for however, the handles and straps are the weakest part of the system. I have read some other reviews that knocked on the hardware that attaches the shoulder strap to the bag it self. The hardware was not really the problem for me, the problem was that the strap just broke while i was carrying it on my shoulder. The stiching just broke, so I am in need of a new shoulder strap, being in the military and flying as long as I do the bag tends to be rather heavy, the strap needs to be able to much sturdier to carry that kind of weight. Another minor issue is that the padding on the hand straps is coming out from beneath the leather. Not a huge issue but just one more thing that could be improved.

As advertized. I would by it again
by A Customer from Erie PA USA
Pros: All the room, Handle straps go all the way around,supporting the weight
Cons: Hardware on straps weak
Review: This bag is BIG. I fly single pilot all week every week. I have extra clothes in one end, headsets in the other end and everything I could possibly need in between. Velcro panels to customize compartments,are great.The shoulder strap is nice,BUT, the hardware is too light for the size of the bag. Mine bent the strap clips the first day,but I just put caribiner clips in place on the strap ends.I have a bit of a fight with putting a full size notebook in the center compartment, but it does fit. Overall, a great bag,lots of room and pockets everywhere.

Almost Perfect IFR Bag
by MICHAEL from BALLWIN MO USA
Pros: style, construction, organization
Cons: top opening
Review: This bag was purchased over the similar Jeppesen and ASA bags after reading their respective customer reviews. The only 'ding' I would give it is the top opening is a bit snug to get charts in and out when the bag is full. Other than that, a place for everything, well constructed and the strap has been improved.

Nice Flight Bag
by Jim from COLORADO SPRINGS CO USA
Review: Good sized bag. Holds quite a lot. The only drawback is that when you make full use or the outside pockets, you lose space in the center compartment...not a major thing. I like the bag and the carry strap is very comfortable. I read previous reviews about the weak clips on the shoulder strap, that has been fixed and they are now made of metal v. plastic. They won't break.

Great Bag - Use it anywhere for all your needs
by A Customer from Victor NY USA
Pros: see review....
Cons: This bag fills my needs so for me, there are no cons
Review: This bag exceeded by expectations.. Easy access.. A place for everything. I like the size. Just big enough for the equipment I need. It prevents me from taking equipment I don't need just because I don't have the room. Weight is also an issue and the size keeps the weight to manageable.

Just what I wanted
by A Customer from Helena MT USA
Pros: Everything in the right place
Cons: Nothing to whine about yet
Review: The bag is just the right size for what I do. I fits all the charts and plates I need and seems to hav a place for everything I could think of. It doesn't look like the bag on the website as far as extra decor on the front but as far a function it is great. Only had the bag a couple months so not sure on the durability yet but it is nice to have something so well thought out.

Almost perfect
by Kris from Edwardsville IL USA
Cons: too big to sit securely on the passenger seat.
Review: This bag is almost the perfect bag. Loads of storage in a well thought out configuration. Great quality too. If the headset compartments would have been removeable, it would have been a perfect 5.

Camera bag on steroids
by Donna from Crestview FL USA
Pros: Big. Pockets. Easy to find contents.
Cons: Big (if you're not a frequent flyer)
Review: More pockets and compartments than a photo-vest - almost lose stuff. Good storage. Headset pockets (2) are handy. Long bag keeps shape well. Plenty of room for charts, flips, hand-held comm and GPS. Is a little bigger than I needed, but is well thought out and functional.

Great bag
by A Customer from Encino CA USA
Pros: Bag
Cons: Strap
Review: The bag is perfect. The shoulder strap is worthless. My strap attachment hardware broke the first day of use. All other aspects of this bag are near perfect. Great organization system for charts.

Great flight bag!
by Phil - CFII from Boise ID USA
Pros: Sturdy, well-designed, good value for the price
Cons: The two flat pockets and two end pockets look identical from the outside, so sometimes you have to hunt for the right one. (Yeah, this is a minor point, but that's my only complaint about this great bag.)
Review: The folks who designed this bag are clearly pilots. There's a place for everything: maps, AA batteries, handheld radio, etc. It's well made and the price is reasonable for what you're getting. I'd strongly recommend it.

by A Customer from Oneonta AL USA
Pros: seems to be good quality & well designed for its purpose
Cons: not quite the same as the online picture
Review: I purchased this for my father, & was surprised to find that it did not look like the picture. This was mostly because the decorative logo was not on the bag as in the picture. I was also disappointed that no product information was included with the bag explaining the intended uses of its many compartments. At least it was easy enough to order & came in on time.

by Christopher from Salem MA USA
Pros: Lots of room, durable
Cons: could have a better shoulder harness
Review: As a new pilot, I was looking for a flight bag that would hold all of the neccesary items. The bag exceeded my expectations! Lots of room for 2 headsets, flashlights, pens, pencils, battreies, flight computer, and all of my books and charts! My instuctor really liked it too, he said he will definately reccomend this bag to his students, and will buy one when his current one wears out.

Review: This is a very nice and compact bag. It has space for all your flight needs, and more. I will buy another one of these flight bags when I need to replace this one.
