Flight Outfitters, Black, Regular

This sounded like the perfect backpack for a new college student. It is better than advertised. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail are first rate. There is room for everything and a way to keep it all sorted. Also, like the handle on top so it can be used as a backpack or a handheld case. First rate.

Lots of pockets of different sizes. Some of the pockets are obviously made for handheld radios, iPads, chargers, etc. Comfortable to wear also.

The backpack is light weight and perfect for my husband to carry his laptop, iPad, paperwork, flash light etc for his job as a pilot.

I ordered this bag for my husband to use has his flight bag. After flying with it for one week the shoulder strap broke. For the cost of this bag, it's disappointing that it broke so quickly.

The side pockets were hard to use. The sleeve for the fuel tester was too tight of a fit. It seems like the same size as the lift mini - but just hard to use. The eye glasses pocket was a major disappointment - could not fit my small glasses case in. Not gonna just put my glasses in there - even if soft liner. Plus the glasses pocket opens down… instead of on top (weird). No outside place for pens. Went back to the lift.

It is extremely functional. No surprises

Have only had it one week. Have not overloaded with a lot of books. But it is very practical for a first-year aviator.

After buying the smaller bag and loving it, I upgraded to the flight outfitters backpack so I could fit 2 headsets. Within a month, one zipper handle popped off. After 6 months, I see that the shoulder strap is fraying and will soon fail, (see pictures). Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product. I wish I noticed the issues sooner so I could have returned it.
