New Flight Gear
A bag for every mission
The Flight Gear difference?
Sporty’s Flight Gear was first introduced 35 years ago to offer pilots reliable flight bag with aviation-specific features, all at affordable prices. Since then, hundreds of thousands of pilots have chosen Flight Gear to protect andorganize important aviation gear, from the first lesson to the airline cockpit.
Pilot-Approved
We don't simply make a product and then figure out what gear fits best or how it works. We make gear specifically with the pilot in mind. Each pocket, chord, zipper, and stitch, is meticulously thought out with aviation in mind. Then we go fly and put our gear in all the environments it will be used.
History & Innovation
We aren't new to the industry. In fact, we've been making flight bags since the 90s. We've been learning, improving, and innovating along the way.
Pilot Tested
Our gear is put through the ringer by our team of pilots. We test everything we make. We've been known to drop a flashlight from a helicopter, load a bag with bricks or run over a charger with a truck — anything to make sure it holds up to our high standards.
Love this headlamp. Perfect!
“Love this headlamp. It is everything I was looking for in a headlamp. The low power white light is perfect for the cockpit or reading in bed and not disturbing my wife. It spins and rotates for perfect alignment when needed.”

“I’ve gone through a few kneeboards, but this one is my favorite by far. It is not only the cheapest, but also the most durable and ergonomic. It is a straightforward, no-nonsense design which helps a lot when flying planes with a control stick, as legroom is limited.”

Flight Bags By Pilots
Flight bags are like logbooks—every pilot has one, and every pilot has opinions about them. After years of using the original Flight Gear bags, I was curious (and a little skeptical) when I heard Sporty’s had completely redesigned the line. But after flying with a few of the new models over the past month, I can confidently say this is more than a refresh—it’s a total reimagination.
