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

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.

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

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

I see they have a version with Bluetooth now. Interesting. Would certainly be less to lug around on the commute.

Other than the colored zippers they scream “this is also my range bag and I have a Black Rifle Coffee sticker on my iPad case and an inop sticker on the camera”.
I briefly considered one but seeing as I was annoyed with too many small pockets as it was I decided it wasn’t a good option

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
I'm pondering going back to my old faithful flight kit bag from the old days. At least I know it'll fit in the 737 in the spot that was designed for it.

Due to the vicissitudes of scheduling, I had a night at home during my last trip, and with one day left, I decided to pull a switch and swapped out my cooler bag for my Brightline, again, because I hadn't used it in a while. I know the Brightline gets a lot of hate....but....
...it just works for me. It's compact and fits nicely in the area next to the seat in the 220 with room to spare. I can reach everything in it without looking, and it straps up nicely on the Briggs (which is much quieter since I changed the wheels) so I'm honestly really happy with it. My only complaint is that there's no way insulate food in it. Which means being a three-bagger pilot if I want the Brightline, and my commuting situation makes that problematic. Others do it, I've seen it, and I've done it, and I just don't like being a 3-bagger commuting OAL on RJs.
So. I'm *still* looking for the perfect cooler/flight bag combo. I've tried pretty much all of them. Haven't found one I'm in love with yet.

He's a good guy and very thoughtful about how he makes his stuff. They're working on a smaller version of this, and supposedly a cooler insert. I've got both that case and the 2-wheeler and I may go back to using them but I've got some logistical challenges.
