the thieves in france and spain will feast with the peak design... even the aer.

Aer is pronounced ‘Air’

I recommend taking out the packing supplies first.

This is a very biased review. You favor Peak from the beginning. A fairer "throwdown" would have been to pack out all with the same loads and show how things fit and how it carries on your back. As one person below noted, the Peak straps are not that comfortable (and I know this for me personally - not speaking for you). I clicked on this to see a real throwdown, not a monologue of you actually like Peak better. Aer never had a chance. If that is how you feel just say it upfront.

@That Ang, Aw man! PD45L got to be the worst pack I own because: 1) as you mentioned, heavy from get go; and 2) straps are crap, and usually I am nice but this is understatement. I can carry like a mule and had it pack abt 10kg or so on a biz trip through the long Hong Kong and KL terminals and messed up my back. Took a year of PT to recover. It’s sitting somewhere in my dungeon hoping one day I might sell it. What surprised me is the Heimplanet 34l Transit Line. Has almost all the features of the PD but they didn’t get lazy with the comfort and weight like PD did. Bought a second one. And Moment came out with a v2 called 28L Weekender. Both surprised me between comfort, low weight, and features. And if you wait for either on sale or BF, you get from 20-30% off. This is why you can get PD45l on Ebay for very low price as it’s bad. And the 30l lost a lot of features. Anyways, hope the PD works out for you but definitely a Big Pass for me.

If you were to choose between the two smaller sizes, do you still like the Peak Design over the AER?

I believe the Aer has an inner flap by the base to give you choice on whether you want to give it some structure which allows it to stand.

I like my bag fitting under the seat so... And I don't do 1 bag travel.

Also you can try evergoods backpack😊

Also was not used to the Aer hooks. Strange choices on it but still a nice bag, at least upgrading from a typical Jansport lol

wwow~ stunning travel. 👌

What size is your head and what size of the AGV X3000 did you get? I’m thinking either the MS or ML. My head size falls in between 56.5. Also does the AGV has speakers pockets?

Do have a round or oval shaped head? I read the Bell is a better fit for oval heads.

My bad: I paid $266 for AGV x3000 - not $366. Also, TORC T1 is a Large not XL. T1 L is the same as the X3000 XL. Size goes like this: X3000 XL = Bullit XXL = T1 L.
