    nice amount of pockets to store whatever you need. water bottle holder is nice along with cell phone pocket. Fits pretty much everything any pilot would need, and keeps things organized in as little space as possible.

    Cons

    nothing yet.

    Pros

    Seems to be quality construction, nice looking bag, lots of pockets. The specially designed pockets for different items are nice if you have the specific item (see cons!)

    Cons

    Actually holds less than my free Jeppesen student pilot bag. All the specially designed pockets are nice for organization but leave little room for anything but exactly what the designer intended. Any odd sized items - like a non-Sporty's flashlight etc. were difficult to fit.

    General Comments

    Be sure to double check measurements - the width and length are including the pockets etc. Make sure to take the interior compartment measurements into consideration. I returned this bag because it just wasn't quite big enough, but I'm sure it is a nice bag for someone who does not like to carry as much stuff.

    Great little bag for the regular day trip flying that I do. Takes everything I need for most flights. Plenty of pockets for storing charts, flashlight etc.

    Cons

    Only disappointment I have is that there is no easy place to store approach charts which, given the name "IFR Bag", seems wrong. En-route charts fit in the outside pocket but my approach plates have to go inside.

    I like this bag a lot.

    Pros

    Nice size and well made and good looking.

    Cons

    Dividers need to run lengthwise rather than across the bag to allow for kneeboards or folding flight desk.

    An inch taller would allow approach plates to stand up when in holders

    Needs a sewn in thumb snap for plane and hanger keys.

    General Comments

    Good idea that just needs some fine tuning.

    Pros

    Enough space for typical short range IFR operations and enough separate pockets to keep things fairly well organized.

    Cons

    Handle is a bit close to top of center pocket to easily unzip the cover and get inside the cover with the handle closed.

    General Comments

    Good value. Better than carrying multiple items. Compact enough to be easy.

    Ample space without being too large - I was torn between the VFR bag and the IFR bag, and I'm glad I got the IFR. It forced me to evaluate what I was bringing with me and why.

    Cons

    My kneeboard tends to get kind of thick. It fits in the large side pocket, but barely.

    General Comments

    I really love this bag. It's light and compact. I used the two dividers close together near the middle of the center compartment -- between them my A/FD(s), airplane manual, and logbook stand up nicely, with room for 2 headsets at either end of the compartment. Currently my bag contains my headset, fuel tester, aforementioned books, mini plotter, GATS jar (in the water bottle holder -- perfect fit!), sunglasses, 2 flashlights, pencils/pens, substantial kneeboard, charts, and more with room to spare. Best of all, it's all neatly organized so I can find it in flight.

    This bag is perfect for my every day use. I am able to hold all my important documentation needed for that particular flight and have plenty of room to spare.

    Cons

    The velcro padding inside seems to pull too much fabric out when you try to adjust them.

    General Comments

    I purchased a few years back the old sportys black gear bag. This one is a much better improvement! I will recommend this bag to all my students and friends who are getting into aviation.

    Pros

    Durable and compact size. The essentials fit without a problem. Several side pockets make small items accessible.

    Cons

    I wish it was just a little bit deeper so I could stand up my IFR approach plates. The included dividers aren't big enough to be put in horizontally, so I don't use them (you couldn't get the approach plates in correctly... for an IFR bag!). Also, the zipper for the main pocket doesn't move as easy and other flight bags I've had, so that's why I rated it a little less in the "easy to use" category.

    General Comments

    Very nice bag and a good value!
