FlyBoys Jumbo Helmet Bag

I ordered this helmet bag for my Flexwing pilot’s helmet & headset so that they would be more protected when stored and also so that I could use the shoulder strap to hang the helmet & headset in a way that secured it well while driving in my van. As I am a wheelchair user the shoulder strap was also to enable me to hang them of the back of my wheelchair while still giving the kit inside good protection too. I had read about a lot of other options before ordering this helmet bag and, while it costs substantially more than the more main stream options available for motorcycle helmets, I decided to incur the extra expense as this was the only option that I found that referred specifically to a flight helmet and also appeared to have the larger internal cavity that would be needed. Having now been using this helmet bag for a couple of weeks it has proved to be well worth the expenditure and I now feel that the helmet, headset and other essential cold weather gear are well protected and much easier to transport safely. In summary: 1) The main cavity for the helmet is well lined so seems to protect the helmet & headset well 2) The helmet bag seems well constructed and outer fabric seems robust as does the stitching and handle attachments etc. 3) It looks as if it will be easy to keep the bag looking smart via wiping it down too. 4) A couple of the external pockets seem very secure as there is a fold-over velcro strip to fasten them closed (which therefore took a while to find as they were so well secured that it was initially hard to open them) indicating they are likely to be very secure if I decide to risk keeping my flight log and pilot’s licence to hand via storing them in the helmet bag too. 5) The 7 external and internal pockets are also great to keep all the additional equipment organised (gloves, balaclava and neck fleece, audio cables, action cameras etc) that is needed when flying Flexwing and adding comms audio to any filming that occurs. I would definitely recommend this helmet bag and am pleased to finally be able to throw away the increasingly battered cardboard box that I had been using to transport this flying kit around for a couple of years now.

Love this bag! Though it was made for fighter pilots, I have found many uses for it. I use it as a referee bag. I’ve even used it as a weekend, bag for a trip to Vegas! It fits well under the seat in front of you the strap is high-quality in the bag is very high-quality. I like that. It has for side pockets to them zippered so I can use one as a valuable pouch when I go out and ref. It’s a perfect size.

This is larger than most helmet bags I’ve seen, so be aware. I like it & will use the extra size. Good pockets, seems to be well made. (Note that I haven’t yet actually loaded it & used it.)

Gifted to be used as stylish city bag, not for its intended helmet use! Original style less common than other military bags. Versatile as it can be carried as a tote with the handle but also has a shoulder strap. Compared to other helmet bags this one seems to have a better build quality and to be more practical thanks to the seven pockets.

Great Helmet Bag! I bought two more in different colors after I got this one. At this price, it is a STEAL!
