It's like dudes that wear long sleeve shirts... But aren't covering tattoos. Or guys that wear braided belts. Or guys that wear phone clips. Or guys that use the ship set on the 320.

I get that’s the general vibe, I’m more curious how we got here from a bag concept that would seem appealing to pilots (other than being expensive).

Ah, a fellow professional gooner.

Nomads Nation on YouTube has a lot of good recommendations. They are more geared towards personal travel but they also shine a professional eye on certain bags.

100% agree. Switching from Luggage Works to Briggs and Riley best money I have spent on pilot gear. As a pilot I hate spending money as much as the next person but you will have no regrets making the switch
