That was quick! Thanks for the video. Great to see the reviews for this line of Aer bags drop so soon (Nomads Nation beat you to it though😉) Definitely a great bag and I see they sorta resolved many of the issues I had with the City Pack Pro. Only thing I’d love to see is Aqua Guard Zips all around and maybe an XPac Version. But I think I’m going to get this for myself, just not sure whether the 20 l may be a better option. Also, you mentioned the comfort for taller people, and I’m definitely one of them, so I hope it’s going to be good to wear…
Would you go with this bag or the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L as a carry on item? Planning on putting the small camera cube from Peak Design inside.
It does when valet pouch empty, cap2 not filled/overstuffed It's a very tight fit, and must force zip to close. Not recommended for long term durability of the backpack
Finally Aer chose a lighter grey interior on a non-xpac item. I dislike the darker grey used in most of their other items. edit: I own a City Pack Pro xpac and won't be buying this 24L backpack. The main feature this 24L has that I like are handles on 4 sides whereas the City Pack Pro only has handles on 2 sides.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Any travel bag that doesn't have the simple ability to thread a small lock through all its zippered compartments (Zipper Pulls with lock hole) that might hold a wallet and passport gets a pass. Great bag otherwise.
Took this bag to Switzerland and France, and it worked perfectly on the airplane, train, tram. Comfortable and easy to keep clean.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
How did it feel if you happened to wear it for extended periods?
Can't wait to see the review for the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L
Hey, thanks for review. Can you please make a video to compare it with City Pack Pro?
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.

Great vid! Please do a comparison with the city pack pro 👍🏻
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.

If you had to choose between this one and the City pack pro which would you choose and why?
I was going to ask the exact same question!!! I'm between those two right now, trying to decide.
Which one did you guys get??

Out of curiosity, what were your objections to the City Pack Pro? Deciding between that and this.

Great video Tom!
Thanks for watching 😃
Please review the Sympl Travel Pack and Weekender Pack!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.

Can you comment on the Travel Pack 3 Small X-Pac which has a $30 different material. Is it worth the increased price?
Can anyone confirm if Airpods Max fit into the front admin pocket on this bag?
Do you recommend the City Pack Pro or the Pro 20L for travel and carrying around while traveling?
Any backpack recommendations if you really like this backpack but have a larger frame?
Funny, I have the opposite problem...
Is it just me or should you not wear the backpack so high on your back?
Just you
Looks weird to me too
Higher than your shoulders definitely looks weird.
looks weird, but ergonomics are better like that
It’s more comfortable imho. I just bought one and comparing to my old lower riding pack.
Hey Tom, what packable rain jacket is that?
Everyone is putting out vids on Aer bags lol. Love your reviews so was wondering when I see yours
Thanks for watching 🤙

These straps seem mounted too narrowly, baffling since they had it right with their city bags. Maybe these are for small framed people?
Will this be able to fit underneath an airplane seat to use as a personal item? Given the 24L size it looks like it would fit under a plane seat
Hi, can i ask if the sternum strap can be removed? Thanks!
Thank you for your review. Do you think evergoods cap2 fits in the valet pouch?
It does when valet pouch empty, cap2 not filled/overstuffed
It's a very tight fit, and must force zip to close.
Not recommended for long term durability of the backpack
is laptop compartment bottom well padded ? that's my main concern
Seems decent and reasonably elevated. Also there is a hard flexi spine in the back which will absorb energy if dropped.
Finally Aer chose a lighter grey interior on a non-xpac item. I dislike the darker grey used in most of their other items.
edit: I own a City Pack Pro xpac and won't be buying this 24L backpack. The main feature this 24L has that I like are handles on 4 sides whereas the City Pack Pro only has handles on 2 sides.
Thanks for sharing your insights with us 🤩🤙

will they be releasing Xpac version soon?
Good question 👀
Hate the logo there
Will never buy an aer with a logo on the front. Hope this is not going to be on all their new bags.
This one is understated, so I don’t mind it.
It's just a small logo LOL. It's not like a SUPREME logo that shouts for attention. Why do people get so annoyed by the logo?😂
