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

I just received this new flight bag, and it has exceeded my expectations so far. The build quality is outstanding, with durable materials that feel like they can withstand frequent use and travel. The compartments are thoughtfully designed, providing ample space for all my essentials, including charts, headsets, and even some space for snacks to bring along. The padded shoulder strap makes it comfortable to carry, even when fully loaded. One of my favorite features is the dedicated section for my electronics, which keeps them secure and easily accessible. Overall, this flight bag is a perfect blend of functionality and style, making it an essential addition to any pilot's gear. Highly recommended!

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).

Excellent flight bag. High quality material & construction. Easy to use - with a good amount of pockets and compartments, while not being too cluttered. Aesthetically pleasing. The only criticism I can give is that the middle compartment/zipper may be challenging to access if you put larger items in there such as a notebook. Satisfied with my purchase.

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.

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!

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.

It is bigger than what I expected, but then, I never checked the dimensions. It is pretty good quality and all my stuff fits very well. It is a bit bulky for a shoulder bag, especially when doing pre flight checks or just riding on the bike, but then it also fits well in the back of the plane. Great quality 👌🏻

Shoulder strap won’t stay on anything, they used a padding material that is textured to slip off anything. Won’t stay on shoulder keeps falling off. Would have given it 4 or 5 stars if it didn’t come with that shoulder strap at all. Fits what you need…
