★★★☆☆
Shoulder strap is just okay
The bag itself is solid and the canvas looks great. However, the removable shoulder strap could be more comfortable, especially when the bag is packed heavier. It digs a bit after carrying it for a while.

About this item
Waxed Canvas Flight Bag The Aviator’s Kit Bag is used on all Airborne flight operations (jumping out of planes or helos). Special Forces and other units started using the Aviator’s Kit Bags as travel bags, pilot flight bags, and deployment bags because of the large opening at the top, which is plenty big enough to comfortably allow body armor to fit inside. Our 32L Kit Bags are inspired by classic aviator's kit bags, which are also used by Special Forces teams to transport a small army’s worth of gear (per person). We've modernized the aviator's kit bag and added functionality not for jumping out of airplanes, but for daily use, travel, and storage. For Specs + Materials, we chose the strongest possible duck canvas with a waxing process proven over the last 170 years, giving the Kit Bag a retro canvas look with the durability you'd expect.

Customer reviews
What customers say: Praised for rugged durability and ample capacity. Some note minor zipper issues or a desire for more internal organization.
★★★★☆
Good, but wish it had more pockets
The quality of the waxed canvas and zippers is very good, and it feels sturdy. My only minor complaint is that I wish there were a couple more internal pockets for better organization of smaller items. The external quick-access pocket is handy, though.
★☆☆☆☆
Zipper feels cheap
The main YKK zipper on my bag snags almost every time I try to open or close it. For a bag advertised as heavy-duty, this is a pretty significant flaw. It makes accessing items frustrating and I'm concerned it won't hold up over time.
★★★★★
Ideal for gear transport
I purchased this bag specifically for transporting photography equipment and it’s fantastic. The wide opening makes it easy to fit camera bodies and lenses without a struggle, and the tough canvas provides peace of mind about protecting my gear. The dimensions are just right for fitting under an airplane seat or in an overhead bin, which makes it incredibly versatile for my travel needs. I got it in Field Tan, and the color is exactly as pictured.
★★★★★
Perfect for a weekend getaway
The Dark Oak color is beautiful and classic. It holds a surprising amount for its size. I really appreciate the internal zippered pockets for keeping smaller items organized and separate.
