    General Comments

    I bought this bag since my regular 'flight bag' - a $10 NASA backpack gifted to me during an internship - was starting to show some wear. It arrived the night before my checkride, and it sort of told me that there really wasn't any turning back now. I figured that if I invested money into a good flight bag, I would be less intimidated by the DPE, who went from being nice and unassuming to inhumanly intimidating with a simple 'Let's begin.'

    I have nothing but positive things to say about the bag. It fits everything I need (although it's significantly lighter now that I don't have to carry around all my pre-checkride reading material anymore!), and the side pockets are a nice touch. Now I can fit everything I need for preflight planning on one side of the bag, everything I need in flight on the other, and no more endlessly fishing around trying to find a different sectional or wondering where the hell my E6B went.

    Details are important to me, being an engineering student and all, and this bag DELIVERS! The stitching is top-notch, the bag feels rugged without feeling burdensome, my headset is now nicely protected (nothing to sneer at, considering they were over $300), etc. And, honestly, the bag just makes you LOOK like a pilot. Whether you know what the hell you're doing or not, it's hard to be taken seriously when you show up with all your gear in a bag that looks like you stole it from a fifth-grader.

    Most importantly, attaching a water bottle is easy. People forget how important it is to stay hydrated, especially on long cross-countries in southern California, which can sometimes take you over vast, endless expanses of hot, dry nothing.

    I think $70 is a bit much for a bag, but when you compare that price to other bags (including sports bags and luggage), it's actually a really good price for the quality and storage capacity.
    Durable, high quality construction. Lots of compartments. Can accommodate everything I can think of to cram into it. A definite upgrade to the standard issue Jeppesen I got which couldn't even hold my headset.

    Cons

    Like any new bag with a lot of compartments, it takes a while to remember where you hid everything.

    It seems to be very durable. It has a lot of compartments.

    Cons

    The headset compartment is too small for my headset in its case. My binder is too large to fit in the bag horizontally (horizontal to the headset).

    Nice bag but a little large
    Pros

    Well made bag, large enough for everything you may need to carry and than some.

    Cons

    A little to large for me, takes up a bunch of space in the plane and is larger than I expected. I guess I should have paid better attention to the measurments.

    Great Bag
    Pros

    I liked the removeable panels in the main cargo area. They allowed easy customization for the configuration that I wanted. The two large side pockets had room for both of my logbooks and all the other little nick nacks that I use. The slash pockets that are displayed holding sectionals are perfect. My wife was able to find what I needed, without looking at me funny.

    Cons

    The pocket that's designed for the carriage of a radio is pretty much useless if you don't own one. The pocket could be redesigned to be more utilitary. Sporty's seems to think that both of my Nav-Comms are going to fail and I'm going to be left needing a hand held to communicate, in it's sale of some of it's products
