Spotlight: Spirit Airlines Personal Item Bag

Casing and Cord

Nylon casing endures the pull of a crowd of the cabin. I knew not to trust the strength of the weave until I had folded the nylon twenty times to see if the spirit of the fabric would break. Let me be the first to tell you that the material survives the roughness of the hands of the baggage handlers who toss baggage like stones into a moat. The material mimics the thinness of a cloak of summer but it carries the heaviness of a pack.

Zippers hold firm. Shuts me down when the teeth of the metal part under the strain of a bulging heap of denim because the user ignored the limit of the container. Pack the bag tight. Strength resides in the weave. The price sits at a few copper pennies. Use caution with the weight of iron.

The hue of the purple identifies the sack in a multitude of black trunks and the nature of the fold allows for easy storage in a larger container. The material resists the rain and the zippers keep the moisture from the clothes. The strap bears the burden of the weight and the handles provide a grip for the hand. The style serves the wanderer and the athlete and the traveler of the sky.

Your mileage increases if you treat the sliders with the gentleness of a maester handling a scroll of the elders. Sometimes it doesn't go the way I planned when I rush the closure and snag the fabric of the walls. The bag works. One traveler stuffed the bag with five shirts and two pairs of pants and a pair of boots yet the seams did not split. Minimalist concepts drive the design.

The Ledger of Gear

The Maester’s Surplus

A traveler finds a pocket for the soul of the bag. It occupies no space when the traveler empties the contents. This sack fits the bins of metal at the gate. Seek the garment carrier at the Amazon Bazaar or verify the size at the Spirit Gate.

Inquiries from the Citadel

Will the dye of the purple bleed when the rain falls from the sky?The threads of the nylon retain the hue and the water slides off the surface without stealing the color.

Does the sack produce a sound when the traveler moves through the halls?The nylon whispers like a ghost in the night but the sliders of metal clack if they strike the buckles.

Can the strap hold the weight of a shield of a knight?The weave supports the burden of cloth and leather but the user invites a snap if he tests the limit with heavy iron.
