If you have a wider bottle, it might not work. It secures with elastic and just barely fits a 32-ounce Nalgene. There’s a water bottle pocket on either side of the pack. Aer Pro Pack 20L | Simplicity is key here. When not in use, it doesn’t take up much space. On the top of the pack is a padded handle that’s comfortable to hold even for extended periods, working well for trips on the tram or wandering through the airport. It doesn’t pop open when you don’t want it to, which is excellent. The sternum strap is magnetic and stays out of your way, too however, it might be hard to open and close if you have range-of-motion issues. They work as you’d want them to and don’t get in your way. The hard plastic adjusters on the shoulder straps are from Duraflex. However, it’s best to head for cover if you get caught in a torrential downpour. These are high-quality pieces of hardware and will hold up in moderate rain fine. While they’re all from YKK, the others don’t feature water-resistant tracks. We typically see more AquaGuard zippers on Aer packs-but this one only features one. Aer Pro Pack 20L | We dig the new look Aer went with. Plus, it’s bluesign approved, which is an excellent shout sustainability-wise. As much as we love 1680D CORDURA, the 840D is lighter and still insanely durable. It’s a nice change of pace from what we’re used to seeing from Aer. The primary pack material on the Aer Pro Pack 20L is 840D CORDURA re/cor recycled nylon. Will these adjustments change the general feel of packs we’re used to from the brand, or are we in for a new treat? Let’s pack in! External Components The materials are lighter than we’re used to, there are different organizational methods, and a few hardware changes. Looking back at other Aer releases, like the Aer Travel Pack 3, the changes to the blueprint are hard to miss. I love being surprised by a new contender.The Aer Pro Pack 20L toes the line between daily carry and weekender, with a fresh new design from Aer to fit the bill. As hard as I look, it always seems to be the same companies (Aer being chief among them). Unlike Apple, they're not too expensive (says the Apple fanboy). So why does everyone mention Aer? Probably because they tend to make good products and they have a solid reputation. I've tried others, but I usually end up returning them due to the bag falling short. I've been dying to get my hands on COB's X-Pod, but it's been out of stock so long (same with some of their other products) that I'm starting to question whether or not they're still even in business. I use the Bellroy Lite Sling when I need something that's lightweight, flush against my back, and where I can shove a bunch of shit into it (and not care if something happens to it). My favorite EDC is currently the new (I'm so sorry, but you know what's coming) Aer Day Sling 3 (I've got the City, but. My favorite backpack is an older Tumi bag I use religiously (Alpha Bravo series), mainly for travel. and about as "luxury" as I'll go love the new Esports Pro Sling Pack). but anything above $300 is a no go for me these days (and I don't really want anything too douchey Tumi is fairly low key. I've tried most of the bags out there (bag freak ok, maybe just a freak), from cheap ones on Amazon to stuff typically found here (like Aer) to the luxury brands. ButĬarryology pushed hard being some kind of bag nerd hypebeast thing, with all the hypebeast mentality that entails. I'll say though the Carryology facebook group used to be great for discovering those smaller brands. But without getting them in my hands (EU to South East Asia? I'll think a thousand times first lol), combined with how ""generous"" bag brands are with their bags photos, not a lot can be discussed beyond what's shown. I want to talk about aevor/pinqponq as well since I randomly found out about them, or any other not the carry world darlings. I'm denying your observations though, since that's my experience as well with the current state of the subreddit. This was certainly the case back then but there's only so much a few tens of active users can talk about their collection and their findings.Ĭan't deny this though. I've been in this subreddit since near the start.
