US headset manufacturer Lightspeed, has diversified into flight bags.

The company has introduced a range of three premium bags designed specifically with pilots in mind. The bags are named after aviation writers: the [Ernest K.] Gann, the [Beryl] Markham and the Antoine [de Saint Exupery].

"We saw an unmet need for flight bags that combine the best materials available while being highly functional for the equipment pilots carry today." said Teresa De Mers, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support. "Our design process included an in-depth understanding from numerous pilots about what they would like to see in an updated version of the flight bag."

The bags include purpose-built pockets for headsets, iPads, portable cameras, transceivers, and water bottles, as well textured PVC bottoms designed to reduce the chance of damage when they are placed on wings.

Prices range from $US179 to $249. More information is available on Lightspeed's website.
