More on the Aer Slings
What I like
- Don't sleep on Aer. Lots of different options
- That chunky techy look, but in 1680D ballistic nylon
- Aer's organization inside feels so good: doubled-over stretch mesh and lots of little pockets on the City Sling 3
- Big YKK #10 Aquaguard zipper and clips on both sides of the strap on the City Sling 3
Watch for
- The City Sling 3 is very bulky. More of a fashion statement and an over-the-shoulder bag than a waist bag
Specs
- The line runs from about 2.4L (Street Sling) to 12L (Travel Sling 2)
- 1680D ballistic nylon and X-Pac versions, YKK zippers, Duraflex hardware
