10/10/2023 0 Comments Aer backpack 2![]() At $230 MSRP, I think it should have been included, but $20 is a decent price for a belt that I feel is made well and comfortable. The belt for the Travel Pack 2 is a necessary addition when loaded up, but it’s a $20 extra accessory. The side handle sits next to the integrated water bottle pocket which we’ll talk about in a latter section. Load lifters would position the pack a little better, especially when loaded up.īoth the top and side of the pack have a nicely padded handle – the top being a little heftier and made of the same Cordura material, while the side is a little slimmer, made of seat-belt material. The only thing noticeably missing is a set of load-lifters. The harness itself is basic but contours nicely to your upper body and does well under load. The harness is well padded and all human-facing sides are lined with a soft airmesh that unlike many other packs doesn’t seem like it will eat up the back of my shirts. I’d suggest that future iterations add a bit of texturing. The zippers themselves have custom, oversized Aer zipper pulls, which are nice and easy to grab, but were a little too slick for my liking. Zippers are a mix of YKK AquaGuard and what looks like a YKK #8. The entire exterior is 1680D Cordura which is light but durable and will shed light rain just fine. Tech SpecsĪer has gone all in on quality materials for the Travel Pack 2, which is necessary when you think about how much wear and tear travel gear goes through. This pack, like the rest of Aer’s lineup, was designed in San Francisco and manufactured in China. The Travel Pack 2 was designed with one-bag flyers in mind, focusing on offering convenience and ample space for both short and long trips. Since I have not used the previous version of this pack, the Travel Pack 2 will be reviewed based on how it stands alone rather than what was changed or improved upon. This bag falls into the latter, being the second iteration of this specific pack. Aer’s bags all fall into one of two categories: work or travel. Their styling is unique and has an obvious West Coast influence, so it’s no surprise that they call San Francisco home. ![]() They focus on simple, functional bags that lend themselves well to travel, whether it’s to and from work or through airport security. Aer is a relatively new player in the bag game, getting their start in 2014 through crowdfunding, like many other makers nowadays.
