I would buy this product again.

  • By Bill from Woodstock IL USA on Wednesday, November 11, 2015
  • Pros: Just the right size for my needs.
  • Cons: Could use a stiff inner bottom insert.
  • Review: For those of you who are pilots my deepest respect for what you do for us groundpounders. A brother-in-law is a retired AA MD-80 Captain. I am a commercial (semi) driver (CDL A) and use my case for job related gear and it works extremely well. It is the third that I have purchased over the past 15 years and I highly recommend it for consideration.

Great flight bag

  • By Curtis Lynn from Sterling Heights MI USA on Tuesday, May 24, 2016
  • Pros: Strong, easy to use, looks good.
  • Cons: None yet
  • Review: I had a Flightgear bag for a number of years. Finally wore out and I purchased the Jeppesen. What I like is the stronger construction and all of the nice spaces to put stuff. Everything stays in place and is easy to find. The old bag was too floppy and stuff would go everywhere. Especially like the removable headset bag for when I am just going around the corn patch.

everything I hoped it'd be and more

  • By Karl from Missoula MT USA on Wednesday, October 20, 2010
  • Review: Great bag, durable, well made, just the right size for a pilot. I definitely recommend purchasing this bag. It holds an organization folder my lap top and books with a little room to spare.

Great for one trip to the plane

  • By John Vesey from Kalamazoo, MI on Tuesday, March 11, 2008
  • Pros: Detachable radio compartment, big enough to hold everything you need.
  • Cons: Detachable headset compartments do not attach to each other.
  • Review: I am part owner of a club plane. So, nothing is permanetly stored in the plane. This is bag is large enough to carry everything you need for most any flight in one trip to the plane. I carry flashlight(s), portable radio, GPS, timers, extra batteries, A/FD, VRF/IFR charts, log book, and more. I love the bag, but would select slightly smaller next time around.

  • By Marnix from Sanford, FL on Monday, December 14, 2009
  • Review: A perfect bag! It really fits the needs of Professional, and Student pilots. As a Student pilot I have to carry a lot of books and on top of that, my flight equipment. But now I bought this bag, I can fit everything in this bag. The Laptop pocket fits my laptop perfectly, But it's comes down to what kind/type of laptop you have. The bag does get heavy, BUT I do it myself. It has nothing to do with the bag because you are the one that is putting all that stuff in there in the first place. I strongly recommend this product to the ones looking for a bag. Its heavy duty, looks professional and you can fit your whole arsenal of flight school books in it.

Definitely a good bag

  • By Balkar from Santa Clara CA USA on Monday, June 01, 2009
  • Pros: plenty of space and pockets
  • Cons: Need Feet PLEASE
  • Review: I read and agree that this bag should have some kind of feet to protect it when you put onto a hard surface. Other than that, this product has met my expectations. Pilots say this is a big bag - that's because it is a big bag ! I fly VFR/IFR/Instructor and with the pockets and dividers, you can organize this however you want. The removable headset bags are great although if you only cary one, your bag weight will shift slightly - no biggie though. It has a lot of pockets for you to organize your stuff - Headset, FPS, COMM Radio, licence and docs, misc stuff. Inside, it can be divided into four pockets which I find is more than sufficient. Compartments I use are (1) For flashlights/timers/foggles; (2) Airport guide, AF/D, Charts; (3) Spare batteries and other misc items;(4) Use for IFR charts

Watch Out for Gifts!

  • By A Customer from Hackettstown NJ USA on Tuesday, January 20, 2009
  • Review: I bought this item to be sent to a client as a birthday gift. Ultimately she got it and liked it, but it took her several weeks to figure out who it came from...there was nothing sent in the package even though I filled out the gift note in the mypilotstore.com website. How embarassing!

Will Out Live Me!

  • By Jaybird from Arcadia CA USA on Monday, February 25, 2008
  • Pros: Lots of special use pockets and configurable compartments.
  • Cons: A bit heavy
  • Review: The Jeppesen Captain Bag I recently order is a replacement for one a carried for many years before I retired. It would still be serving me well if another airline, not my former company, had not lost it!!. I was not happy! Jeppesen bags are so well made I know this new one will out live me. Now that I am no longer a captain I have lots of extra room so this one bag serves me for a week or more of traveling.

Great bag -- very versatile!

  • By Toner jockey from Enid, OK on Tuesday, June 12, 2007
  • Pros: Big, durable, great design and use of space
  • Cons: Shoulder strap rings bend a little and get caught in webbing
  • Review: This bag holds everything I need and stands up to punishment. I use it on the flightline daily and wouldn't be caught without it!

Very nice bag, but very big if you don't like to carry something large

  • By Christina from Thornwood, NY on Sunday, June 24, 2007
  • Pros: a lot can be carried in it
  • Cons: It probably should have wheels
  • Review: I really like this bag a lot, but it is heavy when full. Of course, the choice to fill it is mine, so the bag should not be blamed.

I can't think of anything I don't like about this bag

  • By Ian from ST GEORGE UT USA on Tuesday, April 08, 2008
  • Pros: Holds everything, and very well made
  • Cons: Can't think of any
  • Review: I love this bag, it does everything I need it to. The removable headset bags and handheld radio bag make it more versatile, or customizable. I was concerned at first about whether or not they would fall off (being removable) but they have held up well to daily use. I can fit everything in it, it is well made and very durable. I would definitely buy this bag again.

Great bag

  • By A Customer from Brookings SD USA on Thursday, June 04, 2009
  • Pros: Lots of storage
  • Cons: bulky
  • Review: This is a great bag with lots of room. I am still working on some ratings and have more than enough books to stuff in it. Even with all these books I have more than enough room. It has pockets for my VFR and IFR charts, can hold two headsets, POH, E6B, and many other things. It is now possible to have all my things in one bag! This is a great bag for students, CGI's....

The best flight bag you will buy

  • By Mark from Hudson FL USA on Thursday, July 16, 2009
  • Pros: Large enough for every thing. Detatchable bags are useful.
  • Cons: It is quite large and you will need some room to store it on board
  • Review: Two detatchable headset bags and a detatchable radio/gps bag. This bag is large enough to fit in everything you will ever need. The only thing it needs is a portable weighing scale as you will fill it up as it is large.

I would recommend this product.

  • By Christina from Thornwood, NY on Sunday, June 10, 2007
  • Pros: Fits a lot of stuff, even large items.
  • Cons: Computer pouch should be able to fit a larger notebook computer
  • Review: The bag is very good overall, because it hold a lot of things. However it is somewhat heavy. What I think the bag could use is an option with unintrusive wheels that can be retracted, so it can be wheeled if it becomes too heavy. Unfortunately, that option would increase the weight. The computer pouch is also too small, since it only really fits the smallest of notebook computers. I do like the bag overall though and use it all the time

Be careful of strap

  • By Michael from Ridgecrest CA USA on Monday, September 22, 2014
  • Pros: good size
  • Cons: Cheap strap attachment point.
  • Review: Overall this looks like a good product. But the first time I pick up the bag by the shoulder strap the attachment point on one end broke and it fell to the floor landing on my headset. While it did not damage my headset I was not very happy about that happening. The attachment point are cheaply made and should be reinforced. In the bag I had my log book, POH, maps, airport directory, radio and two headsets. All up it weight about 15lbs, so not very heavy and only about 60% full, so I would not have expected the strap attachment point to break.

looks ok until you put the hands on it

  • By A Customer from Switwerland on Monday, October 07, 2013
  • Pros: very good size
  • Cons: zips are not too good and the bag it's too soft for the size. the shoulder strap isn't well done and the materials feels cheap
  • Review: The product is quite ok but it just feel cheap, very cheap. compartments are useful and well organized, when filled up the bag looks quite big. some of stiffer parts would have made the bag better.

really good but not perfect

  • By Andy Sells from Greenfield OH USA on Tuesday, March 08, 2011
  • Pros: material , compartments , handels
  • Cons: zippers , shoulder strap attachment points , 3in. longer / wider 1 in. deeper
  • Review: I work for the rail road , and I really do like the bag . But I would change three things 1.) heavy duty zippers like what carrheart uses 2.) 3-4 inches longer and wider 3.) 2 inches deeper or taller however you want to look at it.  The first trip I took with it the shoulder strap pulled out of the bag . The little loops that are used don't make sense the handles go all the way around the bag , and if you had a strap that went from one end to the other down and under the bag with metal loops on the end it would be bullet proof . Now the good it is a great bag tough I love the compartments and the radio pocket is great !!!  This bag was made for pilots not rail roaders but if you made the bag with the changes that I mentioned above I would buy from your company again in a heart beat! I would be willing o pay $130.00 or so .   Right now my only other alternative is a company called Red Oxx rail road grips for about $180.00 . Alot of conductors and engineers have asked about my bag . Thank you Andy Sells

Decent bag - one of the largest out there

  • By A Customer on Monday, February 25, 2008
  • Pros: Size; tall bag; removable pockets; will fit large binders
  • Cons: Few small compartments; no rubber feet; expensive for Made in China; forget the laptop!
  • Review: If you are looking for the largest, tallest bag, this may be it. The bag is not without its limitations. First of all, for a bag this size and this price range, it should have rubber feet of some sort for protection. Even though there are plenty of large compartments, there are very few smaller ones. The front pocket is NOT large enough for any laptop that I have ever used, so forget it. Maybe if you have a tiny laptop.  Also, the compartment is hardly padded, and I would hesitate putting a laptop in it, even if it DID fit, which it does not! I am puzzled at this laptop claim, it is borderline false advertising. The bag is certainly a decent flight bag without the need to claim that it is also a laptop bag. The amount of padding is decent, but I would like to see a little more. The headset compartments are tall and narrow, but fit headsets OK. I would also like to see more padding on those ends, but it is borderline sufficient. The transciever pocket is really useful if you have a hand held radio or a GPS. The bag is fairly expensive, considering it is made in China. For the price one would expect a little more. The quality looks OK and it remains to be seen how long it will hold up. Still, it is a good buy if you like carrying everything with you. I don't think you'll find anything bigger. It is also tall so if you put in tall binders and books you do not have to struggle to close it. If you run out of room with this bag, you probably carry too much with you.

  • Pros: The name

Sucks

  • By Teddy W. from San Diego on Friday, October 07, 2011
  • Pros: Few... lots of pockets?
  • Cons: Horrible quality for the high price
  • Review: I ordered this bag because I needed something to hold all my gear and it sucks. It arrived folded up, which put permeant creases in the less-than-ridged bottom of the bag which ruined the "form" of it. The material is very poor, light weight quality. I am in the military and own more bags than I can count of varying strength and durability and I would honestly rate this the lowest I have seen. If this bag cost $50 I might keep it, key word there being might. Over-all, absolutely would not buy and you should look at a different product. Got it today and returning it tomorrow.

Very Dissappointing

  • By A Customer from Novi MI USA on Tuesday, March 29, 2011
  • Pros: Size.
  • Cons: Quality.
  • Review: I purchased this as it should have coordinated with the Jeppeson Headest Bags I purchased a few years ago. The material did not match, the fabric has dropped in quality. The headset bags are smaller and overall it was not a good purchase. Jeppeson is not the same quality that it used to be.
