Flight Bags

I owned a Proflight for 2 weeks and sent it back because I hated the ear buds.

Custom mold seems to be popular for those.

P.S. I have the custom molds and still hate it.

Why do you hate it?

It’s all about the audio levels. There simply isn’t enough side tone and you can’t adjust it. I guess it doesn’t bother everyone, but in my case, I find it a huge distraction.

Good to know. I will keep rocking the DC Pro-X2 for now.

If I ever go back to flying more than 50 hours a year I’ll buy that one again.

It's a great headset for sure. And I am never wearing the ship set. Especially with all the international stuff.

I do need to find a good backpack for my second bag.

It's been a never-ending struggle for me. I'm currently using an older version of this bag and have been reasonably pleased with it after almost a year of use. Only issue so far was the bottom-of-bag pocket (advertised for shoes) zipper failed. Not a big deal for me since I never used that pocket anyway. I just sewed the whole damn thing closed with fishing line. Done.

These flight bags are so expensive. I feel like they should give us a 30 day money back guarantee in case they don't work.

I tried a Brightline bag. Hated it...returned it for a refund.

I’ve toyed with the idea of selling mine, but I’m just afraid that I would want it back later.

I found one at Costco that is actually working really well. It's on its first trip, and so far I really like it. And it was $45.

Can't beat $45! Even if it only lasts a a few years you're still ahead of the game.

That was my thought as well.

Yeah with the colored zippers they look like they should come with crayola crayons
