The Aviators Kit Bag is used on all Airborne flight operations (jumping out of planes or helos). Special Forces and other units started using the Aviators Kit Bags as travel bags, pilot flight bags, and deployment bags because of the large opening at the top, which is plenty big enough to comfortably allow body armor to fit inside.
Our Kit Bags are inspired by classic aviator's kit bags, which are also used by Special Forces teams to transport a small armys worth of gear (per person). We've modernized the aviator's kit bag and added functionality not for jumping out of airplanes, but for daily use, travel, and storage.
