All of my bags were either backpacks or tactical looking. I wanted something a little more stylish, but functional. I have a Frost River woodsman pack, so I knew the quality would be amazing. I am using my Pilot Brief as my daily carry to the office. Plenty of space. I will also use this as my carry on when I travel. I am very happy with it. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be which is a plus. I definitely recommend getting the pad for the strap. This bag will outlive me. A+. Would buy it again.
Use daily for work and smile every time it's slung over my shoulder. The quality beams so much one could cause a car accident by simply walking on the sidewalk and distracting a driver. Have a handful of Filson bags but these are better. While I will continue to buy USA made Filson clothes, I will never buy a bag from them again. Trust me, for camping or the office these are the best bags in this style hands down. Accept no substitute. Thank you Frost River team. Everyone asks about the bag; I should carry Frost River catalogs. If you need a smaller bag, consider a smaller bag or buy both of what you contemplating as you will not be disappointed.
I have had the Pilot Brief as my primary laptop travel bag for four years.
I fly every week and pack it full. There is not a single sign of abuse despite my constant use.
It is one of several Frost River products I have and use regularly and is definitely my workhorse.
Pilot Brief
My truck is my office, and I was looking for a new bag that I could set in the passenger seat to help keep things organized. I found this bag online, and the measurements fit my needs. The bag is made of high-quality material, and seems to be built to high standards, with plenty of deep pockets on the inside and outside. The strap, handle, zippers, and buckles are all made to last. I've only had this bag a couple weeks, but I feel like it's going to be with me for a while, and that it will last a lifetime.
