• Padded transceiver pocket
• Mesh pocket for water bottle or windshield cleaner
• Exterior organizer section holds cell phone, pens, ID and more
• Padded interior (with dividers) is perfectly sized for up to three headsets/GPSs
• Plenty of room for approach plate books, kneeboards and more

Measures 14 1/2"l x 10"w x 10"h overall; center compartment measures 12"l x 7 1/2"w x 10"h. Includes two rigid dividers for organizing the center compartment.

Embroidery Instructions - Sporty's® will embroider up to three initials on your new Flight Gear® bag. Embroidery is silver thread only and is centered on the "double-zipper flap". Place embroidery instructions - up to three initials - in Item Message Box.

Pros
Perfect for short VFR flights or for the student/instructor flights to the practice area. It will hold a headset, charts (sort of), cell phone, GPS, small kneeboard, radio, and some misc. things that you just can't fit into a plain headset bag without being too big. It comes with two removable dividers to keep things organized.

Cons
To really be an IFR bag it needs to be taller to hold approach plates, charts, etc.

Pros
A place for almost everything. The pocket next to the radio pocket is too small for a hand held GPS so I put my spare glasses in it. Despitea a reported 12" demension, the center compartment length is too small for a full sized 11" clipboard, but it will handle a knee board and the FAR/AIM and POH for a 172 easily. I ended up buying the original flight gear bag which holds everything plus some but it is quite big - a full sized clipboard will fit in it.

Cons
Need an additional handheld GPS pocket. The waterbottle pocket is a bit too big for a 20oz bottle.

General Comments
Top quality product, just hard to buy this kind of thing online without actually seeing it in hand.

Reviewed On:  October 15, 2009   Would You Recommend This Product:  Yes.
Pros
Excellent constructions Great use of space

Cons
Too small for a student or weekend rental flyer. You can fit a POH, a small 3 ring binder and a headset on the inside (all laying ontop of eachother). On the outside you can hold A single sectional, logbook, radio, and e6b. Really not much room for anything else

General Comments
I tried both the VFR and IFR bag. I Would highly recommend The IFR bag to airplane owners who dont have much to tote around. For Students (like myself) and weekend rental pilots the VFR bag is perfect..any bigger and it's to big to throw around and carry for a day trip, any smaller and you cant fit any incidentals you might want to carry.

Pros
This bag is a good size, not too big and not too small. Its exterior pockets hold plenty of flight gear and it has adequate room for two headsets plus more in the center compartment. It is to be made of durable, heavy duty nylon material with thick padding to protect delicate units like your GPS, etc. and the zippers appear to be of good construction. Carry handles wrap around to support the weight and are comfortable in your hand.

Cons
It could use more individual pockets and more room to store charts, but then, what gear bag couldn't.

General Comments
Overall an excellent value for the money. The only other bag that seems to out do it (according to it's advertisements) is the Brightline Pilot Flight Bag, but at half the price I think the Sporty's IFR bag is the better value.

Pros
Perfect size, with LOTS of pockets! I struggled between a choice of either a bag that fits EVERYTHING or one that fits stuff I need on 95% of my flights. This bag was a good compromise. The pockets maximize storage efficiency; I carry with me my sectionals, AF/D, a headset, Garmin 496, kneepad, check lists, fuel strainer, pens, handheld radio, logbook, flashlights, back up batteries, E6B CX-2 calc, cell phone, and I still have an empty compartment in the main storage area (1/3). I've seen the larger bags Sporty's offers and they're BIG!

Cons
The main compartment aren't high enough to store sectionals vertically

Pros
Seems to be quality construction, nice looking bag, lots of pockets. The specially designed pockets for different items are nice if you have the specific item (see cons!)

Cons
Actually holds less than my free Jeppesen student pilot bag. All the specially designed pockets are nice for organization but leave little room for anything but exactly what the designer intended. Any odd sized items - like a non-Sporty's flashlight etc. were difficult to fit.

General Comments
Be sure to double check measurements - the width and length are including the pockets etc. Make sure to take the interior compartment measurements into consideration. I returned this bag because it just wasn't quite big enough, but I'm sure it is a nice bag for someone who does not like to carry as much stuff.

Great little bag for the regular day trip flying that I do. Takes everything I need for most flights. Plenty of pockets for storing charts, flashlight etc.

Cons
Only disappointment I have is that there is no easy place to store approach charts which, given the name "IFR Bag", seems wrong. En-route charts fit in the outside pocket but my approach plates have to go inside.

I like this bag a lot.
