![]() It’s nearly the same as the regular Fit Pack 2, except it’s made of a different fabric, has a bright interior color, and an extra handle, all of which we’ll discuss in detail later. The pack you take when you decide to quit your job and join a traveling circus? Why not?īefore we jump into the review, we want to note that we’ve been testing a limited edition of the Aer Fit Pack 2 that’s no longer available. A minimal travel pack for short trips? Sure. And it’s performed really well.īut you can always be a rebel and use this pack for whatever else. We’ve been testing the Aer Fit Pack 2 as intended for the past month, taking it from work straight to the gym. ![]() No more trying to shove your gym clothes and shoes into an EDC backpack. No more trying to make a duffle work for your laptop and tech gear. The Aer Fit Pack 2 has been designed to be part gym bag, part laptop bag. This is meant for holding tracking devices like AirTags and Tiles.If you’ve got your life together and visit the gym/boxing ring/yoga studio/trail/favorite place to exercise either before or after work, then you have come to the right review. Also, hidden behind the hanging pocket there is a very small slip pocket. This section is rather small, but I was able to fit my large, over-ear headphones and a small rain jacket in with my laptop and tablet. The main compartment has a padded laptop sleeve (fits up to 16″ laptop) and a non-padded tablet sleeve, as well as two other medium-sized slip pockets. This means that the front of the bag folds down at an angle, but you still get good access. Due to the bottle pocket on one side, Aer has made the height of the zipper ends asymmetrical. I was able to neatly store the chargers and accessories for my phone, tablet, and laptop in this one section of the bag so that they were easy to access when I needed them.Īccess to the main compartment is interesting. But there really isn’t any need with the Aer City Pack. With most backpacks, I usually carry a cable/tech case that has all my charging bricks and cables. The smaller of the main compartments has a document slip pocket as well as several other small slip and zip pockets that are great for tech accessories and chargers. They’ve also added a second handle to the side of the bag which makes it easier to manage when it isn’t on your back.įrom the outside, you have access to the bottle pocket on the side of the pack and two smaller pockets one on the front of the bag, and a padded and plush-lined pocket on the top of the bag – perfect for small tech or sunglasses. The top handle is a nice tubular webbing with a foam insert. I am on the shorter side, 5’5″, so it might not fit so well on someone much taller. The shaping of the shoulder straps, along with the angled gusset at the top of the back panel made this a really good fit for me. The shoulder straps have thick foam padding and an adjustable sternum strap with magnetic hardware that will make long commutes a bit easier on the shoulders. It is a relatively short bag, so it sits high enough on the back to be comfortable even without any lumbar curve. The back panel is pretty flat and structured, but the small angling at the top makes it comfortable on the shoulders. I wish that the other zippers were coated as well, especially with this being such a tech-focused pack. The one drawback of the trims is that only the pocket on the bag’s front has a coated zipper. The exterior zippers have large sliders with a matte black finish and custom plastic pulls molded over a narrow cord, which are some of the coolest I’ve ever seen. And they add some interesting contrast to the bulky weave of the 1680D nylon. The small hits of Hypalon for the branding look and feel really nice. The thing I like most about this bag is probably the trims: the zipper sliders and pulls, the branding, and even the hang tags. ![]() Overall, the bag has a really simple form, but there are a lot of nice details in how they’ve done the darts, and angled a lot of the seams which help to elevate the bag. The 1680D ballistic Cordura® nylon feels like it could really take a beating, but the small size and clean design keep the bag from feeling tactical. The City Pack has Aer’s coated, center zip on the front, making it easily recognizable as one of their bags.
