Flight Bag Required

My mates and I are looking for new flight bags.

required specs are:
  • Good to hold all clothing, GPS, headset, shoes etc for 2 - 3 days flying.
  • Durable - our large bags from pilotmall have fallen apart after about 5 trips!
  • Must look damm cool!
Someone out there must have bought the PERFECT flight bag...

thanks in advance

I use a rucksack at the moment too, but it's a bit small for headset plus Pooley's VFR guide...

So how's the Argos bag for space? Headset plus Pooley's plus log book ok?

It's cool enough for me at 20 quid...Any illusion of cool vanishes when you're flying a 20 year old flying school spamcan (as I am).

Great post Bravo.

Hooloovoo, re your post about putting things under the seat, I thought that you whirlybird types avoided doing this as the seat is designed to collapse and provide some cushioning in the event of an engine failure. Could therefore be a bit painful if you have something sharp in the bag!

Sicknote,

Have you got any friends or family in the UK? If so, they might be able to get you one then send it on.

Otherwise, there might be someone selling them on FleaBay who posts internationally.
