Thanks to SciCon's Aerocomfort 3.0 TSA Road Case you can take to the sky with your trusty steed with new found confidence. Combining features from a hard-case along with compact and lightweight characteristics of a bag, the Aerocomfort 3.0 manages to bridge the gap, not only providing more protection than a regular bike bag, but also fitting within most airline's standard luggage regulations, so you can skip upcharges at airports.

The Aerocomfort 3.0 starts with a rigid Frame Defender metal base that's easy to lock your frame to securely, with adapters so that you can easily secure either your quick-release skewers or 12mm thru axles for a sturdy ride. It comes along with pads to add protection to the frame its self, and two side pockets for your wheels to keep them scratch free while adding another layer of protection to your frame, and a gear stash bag, so you can stow away other riding essentials underneath your down tube and fork.

Constructed from SciCon's D-TEX860 fabric, the exterior is tough and resilient, standing up to tears and scuffs from airports, and keeping the internals protected. The bag opens with a 3/4 zip, which enables TSA agents to inspect your bike without unpacking it, and a TSA lock keeps your machine safe from everybody else. The bag comes along with the adjustable rigid frame, 4 quick release adapters, 3 pads, a storage bag, gear bag, and straps for securing the frame in place. On the outside you'll find two removable straps, one shoulder strap for getting up and down stairs in a hurry, and one front pull strap for handy airport maneuvering.

As with a lot of other reviews, it's not to bad to pack once you've done it a couple of times. Unfortunately, only my 2nd time using it my bike showed up broken and the metal support frame that secures the bike to the bag crumpled. Something to keep in mind I wish I knew when I bought a soft sided travel bag is most airlines make you sign a limited liability release if you travel with sports equipment in a soft sided case, anything but a hard plastic case basically. So when they destroy your bag and bike they absolve themselves of any responsibility with the waiver they force you to sign. I think it's hard sided cases for me from now on, I can't afford to keep having frames broken.

It takes a bit to figure out the best way to load the bike but fairly easy after a couple of times. Unfortunately my $5k bike showed up broken in Chicago. The rear support of the frame near the wheel was cracked in two place. There is no padding for the forks nor rear part of frame. A lot of money lost I am a different person than theother Eric H review

I love this bag to travel with and it is easy to get in and out of airport transfers and through the airport. My bike always arrives safely and I travel with confidence and ease. I use this for my gravel bike and road bike!

Aside from disc brake compatibility, the wheels are much sturdier and chassis for the wheels is stronger. Rolls much better. Numerous small detail improvements. Great case
