I had a Co-Pilot for about fifteen years, and had long considered it the perfect bag. I finally upgraded because I got a 13" MacBook Air which would not quite fit, and also because after 15 years the Co-Pilot was starting to show some signs of wear. I can't be happier with the Pilot.
Internal organization: the bag features two large internal pockets in the main compartment, which are just large enough for a Kindle Paperwhite or an iPad Mini. In an obvious improvement from my old Co-Pilot, these are now on the internal side of the bag and not the external — this means that items placed in there have a little more protection, and also if I have my laptop on the "outside" edge of the main compartment, the bag has a little more structure. The front pockets include some internal organization as well; one side has 3 pen pockets and a wider pocket that's suitable for business cards or a couple of small tubes (hand sanitizer and lotion, for example). The other side has a larger pocket. The front middle compartment is a great place for a water bottle or even a small rain jacket or other compressible outer layer.
After much deliberation I opted for the new Spectron fabric, and after a couple of months of regular use I have been thoroughly impressed with the look and feel of this material. I think it has a little more rigidity than the old Halcyon fabric. I think it looks great as well.
A few other features that I like:
- The zippered luggage handle pass-through — when not in use on…

Intelligent design with different pockets inside for things I carry: pens, iPhone , Kindle, iPad, mini, MacBook Air, and wallet. Very well made with excellent construction. I upgraded the shoulder strap and it perfectly fits my shoulder with comfort. Made in USA--Seattle! I like the ability of sliding it over my carryon handle.

Do not regret.
After nearly 25 years as a backpack wearer, I had been looking for a shoulder bag. I bought and returned 3 before coming across the Pilot. The one feature that gave me pause is that sometimes I have to lug around my 16” MacBook Pro for work and the Pilot was advertised as fitting a smaller laptop. Well, I’m here to confirm this bag actually fits the big beast of a MacBook Pro! It’s snug, but certainly does the job in a pinch.
Pockets, hooks, zipper pulls. I am a heavy EDC gal because I love my notebook, planner, colored pens, everyday essentials, and this does the trick and then some. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!!!! Can’t wait to stock it up with all the bells and whistles for mini cubes and pouches and everything else. This fits everything a senior admin mother or 2 needs for a day’s work, including a change of clothes for the gym.
TB fan for life.
