    I'm an avid collector of Aer bags and currently own 7 of them. I love that Aer is getting into the luggage space but was hoping to see more innovation in materials, design and functionality. In their next version of a plastic zipper hard case, I hope to see volume expandability, bottom grab handle, lighter frame, external pockets, more internal organization, integrated top grab handle for totally flat top working surface, xpac cover, unlimited height retractable trolley handle, etc.

    I don't get why Aer made this, it just looks like a standard piece of luggage and doesn't have any of their signature design elements Aer is known for.

      Agreed. Companies like DB, do a great job with keeping their design language and everything integrates well together. This just seems like they’re testing the waters but not adding anything to set it apart.

Or even dimensions that actually fit a carry on size but with better organization. Maybe a monos style exterior pocket. Like I pointed out, take a look at how the entire DB Journey like up matches, even their carry-ons keep their signature attachment points.

    Pro tip: If you have luggage that has a loose liner inside like that you can open the zipper slightly and use a handheld vacuum with a crevice tip and it will suction the liner to the inside.

    I know they don’t mention price often in these reviews, but this case is 380 dollars. When you can get a super similar case from away or monos for at least 100 dollars less, I personally couldn’t see myself buying this. I was expecting something more uniquely “Aer” from them.

  • @goku4658
    @goku4658 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Nice review! Appreciate the early look. With carry-ons specifically, a pet pee e of mine is any wiggle or play in the telescoping handles, especially on pricier models. Can you speak to that for Aer's offering? Thanks!

  • @mumenrider677
    @mumenrider677 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    380 USD is crazy when Monos is 255 USD and has pretty much the exact same features except the wheel lock… Oh and the Monos is lighter and doesn’t exceed the dimensions of most airlines unlike this one. Swing and a miss by Aer unfortunately.

    I had this in my cart on launch day and held off after noticing the size. Seeing all the reviews has made me pull back.
    I'm a big Aer fan who backed them on kickstarter and own 4 major products. This is a bit disappointing. Things like no handle on the bottom, unintuitive folder design, weight, and worst of all a non-compliant size?
    Thank you Pack Hacker for another great review. I'm going to hold off personally now.

    NIce little thing for car travel, well done. Not too big so you can easily put it in and out. If the handles don't break.
    Of course it does not look serious enough for business hotel purposes but it's surely fine for going to gym or maybe even for a weeend with your family or so.
    As carry on for flights I would not want to use it. As it seems (by weight and dimensions) only made for private airplanes which do not have any carry on regulations, I have to express my regret: sorry AER but for private flights I use only Rimowa luggage.

    My 10 year old Samsonite carry-on hardsided baby blue bag has the same features and in today's dollars would be half the price. With more than 500 flights under it's belt it is still going strong with only a few scratches. Also, the Samsonite has an expansion option which you can use either for overall bag compression or if you need more room leave it expanded while traveling by car/cruise. At $380 this is a non-starter.

    since this is Aer's first foray into luggage-suitcase products, I think the criticisms are totally warranted (too expensive, heavy, big, and annoying), but given the brand's track record, I'm sure the Carry-On 2 will be way better and more uniquely "Aer". Definitely going to wait for the next iteration!

    This feels pretty uninspired by Aer. It’s made by the manufacturer who creates Away it seems, and the interior color and layout is essentially identical to a Monos, despite this bag costing a fair amount more. I’m only slightly disappointed! Was hoping for something more unique that would immediately say “buy me.” That said…Peak Design is launching a carry on within the next year, and I expect that to be stellar.

      Because its not a check-in bag. Its literally named "The Carry-on". If it was designed to be checked-in, then it would be called "The Check-in"
      That's like asking why we can't use a Cannondale bike as a computer if the brand is reputable - because they're completely separate things.

    Any carry-on over 2 kg is an immediate no for me. My favourite one, from iT Luggage's "World's Lightest" line, weighs just 1.6 kg. The size is unfortunate too. I'd want a bag that'll work with as many airlines as possible - selling a "carry-on" that's too big for major airlines in the target region seems like a very poor design choice.

Definitely won’t be buying this, and Aer lost a few points from making something so bad. I’ll wait to peak designs launches their carry on as I’m sure it will be phenomenal. They truly innovate.
