Since I lived in Portland, Oregon recently and now on Madeira Island in Portugal, one never knows what the weather will do. I don’t live in the city center, so I usually bring what I need with me for the entire day, including my camera equipment and gear for the climbing gym… that’s where the AER pack comes into it’s own! In fact, AER packs are a real hit among the team.īeing the location independent people that we are, we can work from anywhere so for me personally I spend a lot of time moving around the city (in normal years) in search of my next favorite cafe. Simpsons references aside, let’s now take a closer look at what makes this Aer backpack badass and get on with this AER Travel Pack 2 review…Ī few members of The Broke Backpacker staff including myself have been using the AER Travel Pack 2 as our everyday bag over the last year. Ready to know more? Excellent (in sinister Mr. I’ll be honest with you from the get-go as I know your time is as valuable as mine: the Travel Pack 2 is one of the most impressive carry-on travel backpacks I have tested this is one Aer bag that needs to be on your radar friends.īelow, I breakdown every inch of the Aer Travel Pack 2, covering important details like unique organizational features, weight, packability, toughness, best uses, fit/sizing, and everything else under the sun. Many companies are also failing and few are doing it right. The whole one-bag travel movement is a full-swing at the moment and plenty of companies are trying to pump-out sexy carry-on travel bags to entice travelers and digital nomads to jump on board. I actually had never heard of the San Fransisco based Aer company until quite recently, so when the opportunity arose to give the Travel Pack 2 a test run, of course, I jumped on it. What gets my gear wheels turning is innovation, creativity, and backpacker practicality- which is exactly what I found when I started looking deeper at Aer backpacks. When you review dozens of pieces of gear a year, it is easy to get bored with uninspiring product. Perhaps the finest thing about the AER Fit Pack is how it helps you keep your office essential separate from gym and day to day use.I’ve tested quite a few backpacks, and out of all the travel backpacks I have tested this year (and there have been many), few packs have got me as stoked as the new Aer Travel Pack 2. Not to mention how a small looking bag can hold quite a lot ranging from a pair of sneakers, a laptop, an iPad, a few magazine, headphone, charger, and related items.īut I have to say, it won’t hold larger items easy and risks looking bulgy if you force it. There’s a pocket on top of the bag for quick access to small items like phone, passport, wallet, keys. You’ll notice the bag doesn’t have any external water bottle pockets. It’s surprising and a bit of a letdown seeing as this is a gym bag.ĭue to the build of the bag, I can understand that the absence is to maintain the slim urban aesthetic. That said, you can put your bottle inside the main compartment.Īnd you won’t have to worry about the safety of your gear either, as there’s a different tech compartment to store them. First up, you have a vertical zippered main compartment on the front of the bag. When you open it, you’ll see a bright lined interior that allows you spot your item easily and store your gym kits or basically whatever you please – an extra hoodie, snacks or a smaller packing cube. Shoe Compartment: Next up is the shoe compartment. It can contain a size 13 pair of sneakers or less with two holes to dispel bad smell and keep dirt out. Sadly, it eats into the main space and a bigger shoe size may get squashed. When you don’t need to carry your shoe along, the space can hold other items like your hoodie, novels, snack or such.
