    Cannot go wrong with either the Pilot or the Co-Pilot. Nothing beats the organization they provide. The water bottle (or umbrella) pocket is the best ever.

    Note that either bags can get heavy easily. Ask me how I know .

      I’m excited to try them both! I did a practice pack; filled my WF and left out everything I'm hoping to put in the Pilot or Co-Pilot. All that stuff weighs just under 10 pounds (it includes all my toiletries and electronics). The WF weighs about 12.

      How I pack my toiletries will depend on which bag I keep. Currently they’re in an eBags “Pack It Flat” bag, which I think will fit in the main compartment of the Pilot. If I go with the Co-Pilot, I’ll move all that stuff into my Sea to Summit toiletries bag or one of the Tom Bihn organizers I ordered, and hopefully one of those will fit into one of the pockets in the Co-Pilot.

          Haha, I haven't taken any pictures (yet), but I received both bags yesterday and did a test pack. I crammed everything into the Pilot and thought there was no way it would all fit into the Co-Pilot, but it did! However, it was a tight squeeze and I don't think I want to deal with Tetris-ing everything into place every time I pack it up on my trip, so I decided to give myself a little more wiggle room and kept the Pilot. It's a great bag! I was surprised that my 32 oz Nalgene fits in the water bottle pocket (it actually fit in the Co-Pilot, too, but stole a little room from the side pockets). Thanks again for all your advice!
