Vincita Sightseer Transport bag
Sightseer - the Foldable Travel Set for Brompton | Vincita Co., Ltd.
Has anyone used this bag for airline travel? It looks like a well protected light weight solution since it uses your own clothes for cushioning.
I don't see a lot of reviews on line. I do see some but almost all of them were given promotional cases from the supplier.

I know Yingsak, the owner. He is a great guy and makes some fabulous bags. I doubt you will find anything better.
Thanks,
Yan

Can't speak for that particular bag, but the B132B I have is great. Never given me any problems for the 4 flights I've used it on.

I think the version I linked is the B132B included as a package with the garment bag.
Just today I noticed they have a B132C bag which has semi hard sides. This would seem to be a really good compromise between weight and protection. You can use the same garment bag as filler. I'm guessing no one has any experience with this bag yet.

Just be aware of the heel strike issue. Brompton rack is very short and if you look at the video where the bag is attached to the rack (13 secound in), the rider is pedalling with his heels to avoid this. Notice the rest of the video avoids showing the bike riden with the bag on the rack.
I have no experience of the bag, other than that it looks good.
