The Mountainsmith Boarding Pass FX is a photography-aimed travel case built to be checked as luggage but sized so that it can also be carried on.
The telescoping dual-handle and wheels have a very solid feel, whether the bag is rolled through a carpeted airport or over rough sidewalks.
It comes with two TSA-compliant locks that can be set to your choice of combination.
Inside the rugged outer case is a softer case with dividers for your camera gear.
The soft case has straps that allow you to carry it as a backpack. We initially thought this was a novel but pointless addition, but we have found ourselves using it as a backpack often.
The number of small compartments is tremendously satisfactory to someone like me, who prefers methodically organizing each piece of gear.
The dividers are adjustable, allowing you to customize your case. It also holds a surprisingly good amount of gear.
The rugged outer features have held up to the abuse of multiple road trips and flight trips for us.
