Lightspeed has introduced a new leather bag into its Adventure Flight Bag Collection, of which each bag is named for aviation authors. The DeLaurentis bag is named after aviation adventurer and author Robert DeLaurentis who recently released a book called Zen Pilot: Flight of Passion and the Journey Within. It is the smallest in the series of three high-end leather bags.

The main area of the bag features a space large enough to fit a Lightspeed headset, with a separate drawstring bag to keep it protected, and a strap to secure a large water bottle. Small sewn-in slots and loops hold credit cards, ID cards, pens and more. There is also a padded iPad pocket in the rear area of the main compartment and a pocket to hold a phone.

A padded shoulder strap and a carry handle make it easy to get around with the bag. The bag is made of heavy-duty cowhide and brass-finish steel rings for durability. The DeLaurentis costs $199 and is available here.
