Aer Travel Pack 4 35L Review
"Sleek. Bombproof."
Super sleek and bomb proof travel companion.
- Killer size — not too big, not too small. Fits plenty of stuff without being a behemoth to carry or travel with.
- Lots of external pockets and internal organization — lots of places to stash and access things while you travel, lots of organization for your tech items.
- Low key, minimal yet stylish look — black on black, technical, doesn’t say too much.
- Built solid — 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon, YKK zips.
More on the Aer Travel Pack 4 35L
What I like
- Lay-flat clamshell that opens from the front. Easy to pack
- New liner materials and organization are a real upgrade. Thick bluesign ripstop inside, and it feels luxurious
- Stretch mesh water bottle pockets on both sides with extra gussets, plus stretch mesh in the quick access and top pockets
- Smart little details: hidden AirTag sleeve, removable key clip plus a hidden key loop, zip stow tabs, quiet hypalon pulls
- New load lifters, attachment points for an optional hip belt, magnetic sternum strap
- Laptop pocket swallows a 16 in MacBook Pro, with a raised padded flap and a frame sheet
- Great organization and durability. A bag you can really live out of
Watch for
- The 35 feels bigger than 35 L
- The raised laptop flap sits a little low, so sometimes the laptop misses it and goes to the bottom
- Main compartment zip isn't water sealed (the laptop zip is)
- Heavier than the ultralight options
Specs
- 35 L (also comes in 28 L)
- About 3.85 to 3.9 lb (35 L)
- 1680D ballistic nylon, bluesign
- YKK #10 lockable zips on the main compartment
