The Co-Pilot is a small, personal carry-on travel bag designed to fit the
essentials - the items that you want close at hand and easily accessible
during your flight or at the airport. It's a natural complement to our
larger Aeronaut, Tri-Star, and Western Flyer carry-on travel bags.
The Co-Pilot is made with an exterior of 1050d U.S. ballistic
nylon, which has twice the abrasion resistance of 1680 denier fabric,
and an interior of ultra-lightweight Japanese Dyneema/nylon ripstop
fabric, custom produced for us in Japan. A version of the Co-Pilot with
an exterior and interior of the Japanese Dyneema/nylon fabric - which
weighs 35% less than the ballistic nylon version - is also available.
The front of the Co-Pilot features piping to help it keep its shape and
smart looks - no matter how full or empty it is. The Co-Pilot features
#8 YKK splash-proof zippers with metal pulls. Included with the bag is
are five Cord Zipper Pulls, allowing you to add them to the metal zipper
pulls or replace the metal zipper pulls entirely. See here for
instructions. The Co-Pilot has three front pockets and one main,
back compartment. The front left compartment has an Ultrasuede-lined
pocket sized to fit your iPhone or cell phone, and is sized to fit a
toiletry kit (such as our 3D Clear Organizer Cube, designed to serve as
a 3-1-1) or similarly sized item. It has one o-ring to which is
affixed a Key Strap - a handy strap that keeps your keys securely
tethered to the Co-Pilot. Additional and optional Key Straps, Guardian
Light, Clear Organizer Wallet, and Clear, Padded, Cork, and Cordura
Organizer Pouches can also be affixed to the "o-rings", of which there
are four total in the Co-Pilot. Some customers may find it convenient to
clip, via a long Key Strap, a 3D Clear Organizer Cube to the Co-Pilot -
at the security checkpoint, you can unzip the front pocket of your
Co-Pilot and remove the 3D Clear Organizer Cube but leave it tethered to
the Co-Pilot, ensuring that you know exactly where it is.
The middle front pocket of the Co-Pilot is designed to fit a small water
bottle or compact folding umbrella. The bottom of this pocket has an
eyelet so that any condensation, spills or leaks won't puddle in the
bag. The right side front pocket of the Co-Pilot has four pen
pockets and one o-ring and is the same size as the left side front
pocket - perfect for things like a digital camera, snacks, or even a
very light wind shell or down vest. The main compartment of the
Co-Pilot is wide, open, and ready to accept larger items, like more
clothes and your netbook, iPad, Kindle, or book. (We offer a Size
Netbook and Size iPad padded, protective Cache sleeve that slips easily
inside the main compartment of the Cache.) Inside, two open-top
pouches of equal size aid organization. The back of the
Co-Pilot features a wide, open-top pocket for a magazine or newspaper. The bottom
of this pocket zips open and shut so that you can slide the Co-Pilot over the handle
of rolling luggage.
The Co-Pilot has a comfortable handle padded with Poron foam,
centered above the center of gravity. Shoulder Strap attachment points
are on the left and right sides of the Co-Pilot. Our Standard Shoulder
Strap is included with the Co-Pilot. You have the option of upgrading to
our Absolute Shoulder Strap for an extra $20. Not just a great
travel bag, the Co-Pilot will assist you once you reach your destination
- it's the perfect day bag to carry your map or guidebook, water bottle,
jacket, and umbrella, with room leftover to collect small souvenirs on
your trip.
