Specifications

What actually fits inside

A full-size aviation headset, a 13" laptop, a binder and a logbook all go in together — that's the load the Ascend was designed around. The 8 internal pockets handle the smaller things that otherwise end up loose in the bottom of a bag: batteries, chargers, a fuel tester, pens, spare glasses. Sunglasses and foggles get their own quick-access pocket so you're not digging for them on the ramp, and the two external sleeves are sized for a handheld radio or a fuel sump.

Who it's for

The Ascend is the bag for pilots who fly often and carry the same kit every time — students working through a rating, private pilots flying weekends, and airline crew who want something smaller than a rollaboard for the day's essentials. If you want a premium bag built around ballistic nylon and a slimmer 11" tablet load, look at the Solo Flight Bag instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit my aviation headset?
Yes. The Ascend has a padded compartment built to fit any aviation headset, including full-size ANR models.

Does a laptop fit, and how big?
Up to a 13" laptop, and it still leaves room for a binder and a logbook alongside it.

What are the exact dimensions and weight?
12" wide x 13" high x 7" deep, and it weighs 1.4 lb empty.

Can I use it as a carry-on or personal item?
At 12 x 13 x 7 inches it falls within the personal-item allowance on most major US airlines, so it typically goes under the seat rather than in the overhead. Allowances vary, so check your carrier before you fly.

Is it waterproof?
The exterior materials are water-resistant, which handles rain on the ramp and a wet apron. It isn't a submersible dry bag.

How does the shoulder strap attach?
The adjustable padded strap clips to 4 heavy-duty metal rings. Those same rings double as external mounting points if you'd rather clip gear to the outside.

Ascend or Solo — which one should I get?
The Ascend is the everyday driver, sized around a 13" laptop and a full daily kit. The Solo is the premium option, built from ballistic nylon and sized around an 11" tablet and a professional logbook.
