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.

Sophia Y. ★★★★★

The waxed canvas has already started molding to my gear after one jump bag rotation, and the zippers slide clean even with gloves on. It’s got that stiff, utilitarian feel that softens just enough to pack tight, which is exactly what I needed for hauling kit in and out of helos.

Abigail Q. ★★★★★

Carried it on a weekend trip stuffed to the gills with camera gear and it handled rough handling without a single loose stitch—the waxed canvas is exactly as rugged as it sounds. Even the shoulder strap didn't dig in once it was loaded down.

Daniel ★★★★★

The canvas is tough in that way only waxed material can be, and the size fits everything I need for a day of travel without feeling bulky. My shoulder doesn't ache even after carrying it through the airport for a few hours, which is more than I can say for my old bag.
