Pros
This backpack is beautiful, perfect size and it is very well designed and built. It has lots of space and pockets for all of my things, charts, GPS, GPS mount, kneeboard, checklists, headset, etc.

Cons
The velcro is kind of impractical. It's to much of a hassle to velcro my headset in place. When the headset is inside and attached with the velcro the backpack become kind of crumpled, dented on the top because of the weight of the headset.

This pack is very well designed and built. It has lots of space and pockets for all of my charts, GPS, checklists, headset, etc. It looks good, too!

Cons
None so far.

General Comments
I had an older version of this pack that I bought from Sporty's years ago, and it simply did not have enough room for my stuff. Now that I've purchased this model, I can carry everything I need for every flight. There's a padded pocket for my GPS (with room for extra cords and stuff), plenty of room for charts, my kneeboard, and a special strap for my headset. I even carry my yoke mount and a backup intercom in the storage section and still have room for everything else. This pack is also stylish, and we all know how important it is to look good on the ramp! I haven't had this pack long enough to speak about durability, but it is very well constructed, so I figure it will last for years. The handle and straps are rugged and firmly attached, so I see no problems there. It was a little pricier than I'd hoped, but now that I have it in my possession, I can see that the price is worth the quality you receive. I would recommend this pack to anybody.

Pros
Perfect for what I needed. Holds my David Clarks, charts, Bi-fold kneeboard, and a notebook, POH and A/FD in the inside pocket. The laptop part holds my 15' HP laptop and cord perfect. I love the bag and would definitely recomend this product again. Also, when I first bought it I was a little scared that the backpack would be to big, but it's the perfect size.

Cons
The headset holder is a great idea, but the velcro is kind of impractical. It's to much of a hassle to velcro my headset in place. I often just toss my headset in the bottom of my bag. Also, a bit pricy in my opinion, but then again so is pretty much everything that is tailored to GA.

General Comments
I did not leave a review for durability and reliability because I haven't had my bag that long. Also, I was very impressed with how fast I recieved my order (2 days). Great customer service.

Lots of room inside, apparently very well built. Time will tell, but it is lightweight and should hold all that I need. I plan to get an iPad and will see how well it works there. I don't foresee any problems.
