Aer Fit Pack 3 Review
"Goldilocks"
Perfect smaller EDC with the weirdly useful front duffel pocket and excellent tech org.
More on the Aer Fit Pack 3
What I like
- One of the original duffel-front bags. That front duffel pocket is weirdly useful: shoes, gym clothes, a towel
- Dedicated shoe compartment at the bottom
- Tech and laptop pocket at the back, spacious quick access pocket up top
- Water sealed zips, really durable ballistic nylon (there's been an X-Pac version too)
- A super tight little bag. I've used it a lot and several friends swear by it
- This bag taught me to love the quick access pocket up top
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it: the 3.0 barely changed, and that's a good thing
Watch for
- Basic mesh back panel. You'll get a little sweaty
Specs
