Hi, I am wondering if this product would be advisable to use as a 'stuff sack' for my 4200cu pack while checking it on a flight? Don't know if it would be useful for that purpose, or if it could be a hindrance due to the exomesh wires potentially getting caught while checking luggage. Any insight would be appreciated!

I would definitely not use it as a flight stuff sack. I am with you in thinking the cables will snag any number of things in the congo line from the check-in to the cargo hold, and I expect there would be a pretty nasty fight between the Pacsafe cabling and the machinery that tries to eat it. You would be better off with a big duffle along the lines of Osprey's purpose-built Airporter LZ, or the like. A streamlined duffle would keep pack straps and snag opportunities to a minimum while protecting your pack and helping to keep it secure. You can use a TSA-approved lock to secure the duffle zips if security is your main concern. Hope that helps!

I think it would work pretty well for that. The only thing is that you cant lock anything anymore if you are taking it on a flight
