(Plus, they’ve figured out a better way to handle the roller luggage scenario, which we’ll get into later.) Aer Travel Pack 2 Side Handle This top handle feels much more streamlined and helps the bag keep that slick, clean look. It was decent, but it felt a little clunky. In the Aer Travel Pack 1, there was a Velcro loop on the top handle that you could attach to the top of a roller bag handle.
#AER FLIGHT PACK UPDATE#
These handles are a really good example of how Aer has continued to refine and update their design.
These are great for any quick grabs, carrying this thing around, getting it out of an overhead bin, or in and out of a cab-whenever you need to just grab it for short distances. Starting off, there is a super beefy handle on the top of the bag and a less beefy grab handle on the side. We think they’ve done a really nice job with this. Exterior ComponentsĪs far as exterior components go, there is a nice amount of doo-dads on this pack that provide a bunch of useful features, but Aer has pulled this off in a way that still keeps the minimalistic look of the pack. It also means the Aer Travel Pack 2 is a distinguished member of the #danglefreeexperience club.
#AER FLIGHT PACK PROFESSIONAL#
Aer Travel Pack 2Īnd one final note! We’re pleased to say that there aren’t a lot of dangling straps coming off of this thing, which adds to the overall professional and minimalistic look of the pack. There’s some EVA foam, EPE foam, and sponge foam in areas like the mesh back panel, the straps, and the side handles. To wrap up the materials, there are a few different foams used on this pack. (By the way, if you wanna get in on our Instagram polls and a whole bunch of other travel-and-gear-themed content, be sure to head over to our Instagram!) We were definitely big fans of the original pack and this one seems to take all the styling from the original and boost it up a few notches. We should note that we polled our Instagram audience to get their thoughts on the aesthetics of the Aer Travel Pack 1, and the results were about 60/40 in favor of it. #Nailedit Aer Travel Pack 2 Instagram Poll Resultsīeauty is, however, in the eye of the beholder. Some of the zippers are Aquaguard (super water-resistant) and all of the exterior zippers have storm flaps (that piece of fabric that often covers zippers) for some added water resistance. As far as buckles and zips go, there are Duraflex buckles as well as different flavors of YKK zippers all around the exterior and interior of this pack. The bag has a nice black-on-black aesthetic, which is very similar to the original-and a very pleasant sight for our eyes. This stuff is pretty much guaranteed to hold up over time. How do we know it’s durable? Well, this is the same material as the Aer Travel Pack 1-a bag we’ve been testing for an accumulation of over six months, across various team members… and we’ve had virtually no problems with it whatsoever. Starting with the exterior of this pack, there is a 1680D CORDURA® ballistic nylon weave-which is super durable stuff. You’ve been warned… Materials & Aesthetic Aer Travel Pack 2 In Detroit, MichiganĪer has taken their first travel pack, made a bunch of really great improvements, and clearly thought through all of the details in the process for carrying a bunch of gear-so lets dive in. Several of our team members at Pack Hacker have been using their original Aer Travel Pack for some time now (and to great success), so needless to say, we’ve been looking forward to getting our hands on the second iteration of an already great travel pack. The day has finally come! We are thoroughly excited to say that we’re taking a look at the Aer Travel Pack 2 in this review.
