Had it for about a year....pleased so far...holds a lot...keeps the iPad safe....pockets all over....has held up well. I commute and it fits under E145 seats but is a little tight under some Crj seats due to those strange boxes mounted around the cabin under the seats.

I'm thinking maybe a new flight kit bag so I'll have someplace to rest my Panda Express!
I'm thinking about getting the Brightline B7 Flight when I get back online. I think either the NDB or the ACD would fit in that.

Bison mountain bags

I have used the bison stampede, bison sidekick, and alpine traverse, all work well, depending what your storage needs are.

Still better than 30# worth of Jepps! I'm hoping the bag looks professional and is of adequate size. The pictures looked great, but sometimes it's tough to tell.
Figured I'd give a PIREP since I've been using this bag for almost 3 months now...

The original post with a link is on page 4 of this thread.

Short story is that I love it. Room for a water bottle, sunglasses, headset, iPad, MacBook, flashlight, keys, etc. I think it looks professional in that it's not backpack-ish, it's black, and it fits nicely on my roller handle. As someone mentioned, I really need to cut the Velcro strip off the roller handle pocket because it frequently gets in the way when sliding the bag over the handle. Other than that... Perfect.

I set it next to my seat where a traditional flight bag normally sits. Gives me easy access to everything I need.

I met an airline captain with one of these. He said he has gone through a lot of different types, and this was the best so far. Anyone else have any comments on it?

I use this. It's made in the USA by people who are paid a living wage. It has a lifetime warranty and I'd rather buy a nice bag once than several over my career. I have a lot of experience with the company and they stand behind their products. Treat yo self.

Beckel Canvas has some nice, lower priced bags that are still USA made and quality.

You can hide the straps and fit it over a roller bag no problem so it looks professional still

Default $20 is $20

I'm still working my way up but this range bag has been working great with my D.C. Headset and iPad. Pockets for a water bottle and all the other essentials for ~$20!

I was ticketed to see it's quite similar to a $200 bag from http://www.fallonaviation.com/pilot-supplies/flight-bags-cases/lightspeed-adventure-flight-bag-collection/the-markham-leather-flight-bag/
