    Perfect balance

    I’ve gone back and forth between a full technology backpack and a small over the shoulder bag for holding an iPad and a few things. This bag splits the difference perfectly. It is small but holds so much without compromising. My 14 inch MacBook Pro even fits in this bag if I needed to take it with me. I love carrying an iPad Pro and some tech accessories and the water bottle compartment on the front just tops things off perfectly. The bag’s materials are top notch and the zipper pulls included were a great addition. Highly recommended for a small everyday carry that out-punches its weight class.

    The best bag for a Digital artist

    I carry my iPad Pro 13 1/2 inch everywhere so I can draw and paint when I see something that attracts me. In addition I carry my Copic grey markers for fast composition drawings. The Co-Pilot with the shoulder strap upgrade is easy to carry and handles the weight of the iPad well.

    More bag than you’re expecting

    Typically with a bag of this size a divider can hinder its overall capacity. The copilot is cleverly divided to make the most use of the small size. It can keep your day supplied without becoming cumbersome.

    Almost perfect under-seater

    It can fit a lot for its size. I carry an iPad Pro, cables, headphones, kindle, notebooks, books and some smaller items with ease and some room to spare. Build quality is great.

    The biggest advantage that this bag has is the ability to go under a seat when flying economy without needing to put the bag on its side and without blocking room for your feet. This is exactly why I bought it, as a frequent flyer.

    Perhaps I am nit-picking. The only thing I don’t like is that when full the outer open pocket remains in an open position. I don’t think that things will fall out, but it is just a bit disappointing. Perhaps it is the way I pack it? Makes me nervous to put items in that pocket. Perhaps the Pilot does better in this regard? If so and it still provides the same under-seat advantages I would consider swapping the two.
