This bag wins big points for me, since I've this crazy obsession for products with minimal external branding. The bag's fit felt like it hit the “just right” spot for a 33l bag. It might be because the compartments were all properly designed to fit their intended contents just right. The dimensions of this bag is about the same as the 42l-capacity CabinZero Classic Pro but it somehow doesn't feel as big. I'm used to bulky bags like the Tortuga Outbreaker, but for a 33l bag, the Aer Travel Pack 2 feels pretty compact. I'm 6'0″ (182cm) and 187 lbs (85kg) at the time of this post. In places where other brands usually wouldn't bother, the YKK zippers on the Travel Pack 2 looked to be coated matte black for a sweet finishing touch. The reason why you don't see the bag in more colors, is because ballistic nylon, the material this bag is utilizing is very hard to dye, which is why they are often available only in black (good for me).Īnother delightful detail was how much attention they paid to keeping the entire bag looking cohesive. Since I only wear and review products that are black, no prizes for those who guessed which I went with. The bag comes in grey, black camo and black. It seems like it checks all the boxes, without trying too hard. The bag looks so understated and cool, but not pretentious.

Their brand and site design is on point, so I expected nothing less from this bag that was featured in Wirecutter's “The Best Carry-On Travel Backpacks” list. I had high expectations even before using the bag. And to really seal the deal, a handwritten thank you note was included in my package. The brand tags were also beautifully designed. Neatly packed in a non-crummy box, the Travel Pack even comes with its own protector bag. I don't usually talk about packaging when I review products because I always think that the product design can usually carry it's own weight without the need for any excessive packaging.īut Aer bags came dressed for a killer first impression.

You can tell from the details that solid creative direction and quality control has molded the Aer brand and their products into the stellar state they are currently in. What sets Aer above the rest is perhaps a little something called class.Īs a designer myself, I am always very impressed when a brand has their shit together. Maybe stylish isn't a good word to describe Aer, because I own a lot of stylish bags and apparel. This is, without a doubt, one of the most stylish bags I have. I review a quite a bit of travel gear but this one got me the most excited I've ever been for awhile. I thought this was right up my alley when they sent over the much raved about, Travel Pack 2. I'm not just talking about the product itself, but the branding, the marketing, the site design, everything… It's made for the serious traveler, but yet manages to remain super classy.
