Very good point on the zippers, I went to test the 2 options out and you were right, standard version is easier to one handedly rip open the normal zipped compartments. That said, the counter is the added security you get with the aqua guar zips, more tamper proof and less likely to get ripped open accidentally maybe, perhaps better if you are often in crowded trains etc. Like you said comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. Good vid that raised some points many others hadn't!

Thanks JT! Very solid looking pack. That full horseshoe RC unzip/zip motion is a thing of beauty.

[@jtinseoul7041]

haha, try doing that with aquaguards!

[@TylerWoodward12]

I have the AER/Carryology tokiai city pack, redo it in the city pack pro please!

[@theGRguy]

Great quick review! I’m doing some dad bag research and this looks like a great option at a good price. Also looking at the Synapse 25 as a comparable.

[@jtinseoul7041]

I think for me I'd end up in this over the Synapse for strict "diaper bag" duties mostly because I tend to prefer the clamshell for that. Kinda imperative to be able to see everything in a pinch as quickly as possible. You know, for those... moments? Also, the flap makes a great changing pad ha.

Great review! I wonder if my dell xps17(14.74''x9.76'') can be fit in the laptop compartment of this bag. As the Aer x Carryology city pack is about to drop, City pack seems to share the same laptop compartment with city pack pro. I have asked the Are about this question, but they just told me it can only fit the Macbook 16''(14.01''x9.77'').

I think this is the first Aer bag i've seen in josh's hands

[@DanFeldmanAgileProjectManager]

For how long can one travel internationally in city environments with this bag?

[@alvinbartolome1239]

Hi JT, is this better than the Bellroy Transit Workpack? Thank u.

[@alanlamm5904]

JT: Why can't I find your reviews on the Cardiology website?? I love your reviews and now I have to hunt them down here on TH-cam

[@CarryologyTV]

There are links to the reviews there usually! I'd suggest clicking the bell icon to get notifications on the videos since that's where you'll find me most!

Anyone use this as a personal item on British Airways?

[@ES-qe1nh]

Yes. You can do that.

[@ItsJustMeStevie]

Do you believe it fits underneath an airplane seat?

[@CarryologyTV]

Yes it will.

[@flakeyjay]

Bought the olive version last week.

[@zeytee]

Love the Magnepatch!

[@erichanson5628]

Thanks JT!

[@vonzarooz2829]

how high up is the false bottom

[@CarryologyTV]

About an inch :)

[@ianisaiahding]

How did you add the patch on the front? It looks amazing!

[@CarryologyTV]

It's attached with a Magnepatch that's sold by Alpha One Niner!

[@ianisaiahding]

@@CarryologyTV awesome! Thanks for the reply I’ve just checked them out and sadly they’re out of stock hahah

[@gonefishingapodaca]

Soooo. If your gonna be on Carryology does that mean we don’t get as many vids? You do the best reviews!

[@jtinseoul7041]

Well, this is like almost two hours of me in the last two weeks haha :) Because the camera bag video was such a monster it was hard to squeeze these little ones in. You'll see more of me going forward for sho. Appreciate the love.

[@smilebot484]

isn't it 24 litre?

[@CarryologyTV]

Apologies, I misspoke.

[@Andorski]

Don't have the bag, but I commented somewhere else that Aer initially listed the bag as 22L on their site but changed it to 24L. Someone replied that when they received their CPP the tag said 22L.
So it seems like Aer decided to change the listed capacity at some point after release. Since Aer doesn't use a standardized method of measurement (such as the ASTM method that companies like Tom Bihn uses) they can claim the capacity to be whatever they want within reason.

[@samnero387]

You all need better reviewers. This ain't it. Yikes.

[@KeiS14]

Zero elaboration whatsoever. Your review of this review isn’t any better.
