Flight Satchel - Ultradyne

One trip with this bag done now, here is what I found. 1, easy to stash, fits in tight spaces. 2, organizes and caries lots of things, orange background makes it easy to find things in low light conditions. 3, stands up on its own, takes up little counter space, which is extra practical. This was a different trip than what I bought this bag for, originally I bought it as a personal item cary on with amazing every day cary usefulness once on a trip. The satchel format makes it easier to use in hot humid climates and more convenient in crowded urban conditions. This trip was a family camping trip to a state campground. This was my essentials bag, medication, vitamins, tech kit, cash, passport, journal and note pad. It was easy to find, easy to stash in a crowded car and practical to use. Things like medication was easy to find at night and it's upright format took up little space in a crowded environment. Useful beyond my original intentions. Loving it the more I use it. Thank you Alpaka for making such useful cary items.

I used this bag for the first time on my recent trip to Europe. It's the perfect personal carry on item. It holds everything I needed for the long flight, but the real secret is its lower profile design that makes it shorter in height but doesn't sacrifice any utility. This made it MUCH easier to store and retrieve it from underneath the seat in front of me. I laughed out loud the first time I had to place it under the seat for takeoff (the shoulder strap is removable, so it doesn't get in the way). It's astonishing, especially as I've been using a full-sized messenger bag for years. And there's no loss of capability with the shorter profile: I could still fit my 13" laptop, along with my travel dopp kit, iPad, a book, reading glasses, iPhone, and a secure spot for my car keys. HIGHLY recommended bag if you fly regularly and need to store your bag under the seat in front of you.
