Wairworthy Ascend Flight Bag for Pilots - Fits All Aviation and Travel Gear Including iPad, Kneeboard, Headset and Valuables

I needed something to hold all my stuff plus extra room for things like a hat, gloves, windbreaker, water bottle, etc. this fits perfectly under the seat of a 172 or in the back seat of a Cherokee. Plenty of room for two headsets. Nalgene. Radio. Garmin ADSB receiver. Garmin inreach. Flashlight. iPad mini in big case. Battery pack. Extra batteries. Glasses. Leatherman. Plane documents / POH. Puffy jacket. Beanie. Gloves. Really an astounding bag that’s well laid out and plenty of pockets and places to keep things organized and not bouncing around. Rugged material and a comfortable shoulder strap. (FYI it ships IN the bag, not loose in the box).

I’ve been using a regular backpack for all my flight gear, and it was always a mess—everything crammed together with no organization. This flight bag has been a game-changer. It has a spot for everything I need, like my headset, logbook, and kneeboard, and it keeps everything organized and easy to grab. The bag feels super durable, fits everything without being too bulky, and is clearly made with pilots in mind. If you’re tired of digging through a cluttered bag for your gear, this is the perfect solution.

Nice and just the right size

I recently purchased this bag as an Air Force student pilot flying the T-6A. It's larger than anticipated and the organization is generally well thought out, however, there are some minor improvements which could be made: The sunglass pocket could be larger (I wear RayBan Justins and they are difficult to remove without smudging the lenses), an exterior pen sleeve (or two) would be massively helpful, and an open exterior pocket on either side of the bag would be MUCH appreciated. Having the ability to slide my EFB/iPad in and out of a bag's exterior makes life much easier, and is why I generally use a FlyBoys pubs bag in lieu of this bag. That said, I absolutely LOVE that this bag has two water bottle holders, as I come to work with both water and coffee on most days. My larger 12.9 inch iPad Pro fits securely in the center of the bag, and there is plenty of room for lunch, headphones, a kneeboard, and more. If I bring this bag to work, I don't need a backpack or separate lunchbox: I can carry everything I need in one hand, leaving my other hand free to put on my hat and salute (two very common occurrences for a new pilot). The bag DOES fit in the baggage compartment of the T-6 without issue, but it's a bit too large to be placed in the cockpit with me. If Wairworthy made a smaller, more compressible version of this bag that retained its dual water bottle pockets and added exterior pen and iPad/EFB sleeves, it would be a must-buy for those of us in cramped cockpits. Extra points if they add a place for Velcro patches to adhere to!

Very nice quality, fits my headset, log book, iPad and lot of other stuff easily.

I wanted to love this bag, but it has some flaws: - Size: It's a little larger than it needs to be—about 1.5 times the width of my A30 headset. I suspect it was designed to fit a full sized iPad, but I'd prefer something smaller. - Pockets: There are zero pen/pencil sleeves in the whole bag. Pretty baffling oversight. - iPad pocket: The center pocket is pretty hard to get an iPad Mini attached to my minimalist knee board in & out of. - Headset pocket flap: The pocket on the flap of the headset compartment is nice ... until you unzip the flap all the way and spill the pocket's contents all over the floor when the flap flops open. A spot of Velcro at the top would have fixed this. The construction quality is above average, but not over-the-top. That is a reasonable compromise in my book. Overall, the bag feels like more of an exercise in branding than in expert product design. I'm left feeling mildly disappointed. I hope my fellow Utahns roll out an improved version 2.0 sometime soon.

Bag is really good, fits a lot of things

After researching for the perfect bag, I can definitely say this is the best one, it fits everything you need without making it too bulky great value for the money. Great quality definitely a life changer

Absolutely great. A+

It was indicated in the description that I can fit in a 14inch laptop. However, I tried but the laptop stick out slightly beyond the bag and I am unable to zip it close.

Great bag. Fits all of my gear including headset, iPad, knee board, extra batteries, flight calculators and plotter. Can also tuck my coffee mug or water bottle in the side pocket. 10/10 recommend.
