i feel like there's unused space around the compression packing cubes that could be utilized but that's just me. i love the idea of the sling though. pretty nifty
I’ve been using the same exact combo during my last 2 trips. And in the last one I was even able to put my Goruck bullet laptop 16” inside of the Aer travel pack 3 to carry my Macbook and daily essentials when moving around the city
Hi I’m using a similar set up but I have the small version. I use the Go Sling by Alpaka. What camera do you take to film your content when you travel? Safe travels…
Great video. How much weight will you be carrying? I always one bag carry so I ranger roll a set of clothing (top, bottom, socks and undies) together and take about 4-5 sets. Leave stuff behind that is no longer needed and come back much lighter.
Great job! I will never travel without packing cubes and all mine are compression cubes from amazon. I believe that a capsule wardrobe is the way to go and it has never failed me. Are you only travelling with the shoes you are wearing? I can't wait to hear how this pack compare with the Alpa. :)
Wonderful video! How was Japan? I'll be visiting there next year and just received my travel aer pack 3. Did you bring it as a carry-on or personal bag? I'm travelling to Vegas soon and was intending to use it as a personal bag but considering how stiff the padding for the back is, I am afraid it's not going to pass. What was your experience and do you think it'll fit? Thanks!
Very helpful video! Just wondering, how many shirts and pairs of pants did you pack? I’m planning on doing a two week trip as well but I want space in the bag to shop for clothes and other things. I would probably only pack 3-4 shirts and 1 pair of pants and shorts so I have space for whatever I buy.
Great video, im also planning japan trip in the fall so it'll be my very first one bag trip ever as well (w/ ula dragonfly) super excited. That's the zero grid small passport wallet? how do you like it? I just got it too so havent tested it out yet. and how do you plan on getting cash from japan?
Good video, it should be a fun trip. What is the weight of fully packed backpack that you are going to carry-on? I have made many flights to Asia and sometimes the check-in agent weighs the bag. Check the airline weight limit for carry-on. If you have a laptop, they usually will allow a little more. Tip: They never weigh the "personal item" so it can be heavy.

There is! I need a little space to pick up things in Japan
Excited for you! Have a great trip!
Thx!

Thanks for the video! I love the orange packing cubes. May I ask - did you use the TP3 in conjunction with the waist straps?
nope. I don't like waist straps. I use sternum straps religiously, but I hate travelling with a waist belt.
I may have missed it, but I can’t go without a water bottle. Sounds like you’re gonna have a great trip. Have fun!
I’ll likely bring my memo-bottle
Used to be a backpack traveler when I was younger. Now I use carryon luggage. So much better on my back
Do you know if this can be carried on international flights?
check with your airline of choice! Aer also has a SMALL version.
Dimensions
Length: 21.5" (54.5 cm)
Width: 13" (33 cm)
Depth: 9" (21.5 cm)
the weight of 2 week travel stuff just fine or did think the hip belt would be helpful?
I don't like hip belts - but I think most people would want them...and depends on your travel load.
Hi, great review! thoughts on the travel pack 3. Do you feel it’s better to get the Ballistic Nylon version or is the X-pac worth the upgrade?
I like the XPAC primarily because I want a high contrast interior. That’s why I paid for the upgrade

Only my. iPhone!!
Looks great! I can't travel without a water bottle to fill inside the airport
No second pair of shoes? Is there enough room for an extra pair of shoes in main compartment?
Depends on the shoes. I intentionally did not bring a second pair.
I tried 2 nd pair of shoes it’s very difficult
Great video. How much weight will you be carrying? I always one bag carry so I ranger roll a set of clothing (top, bottom, socks and undies) together and take about 4-5 sets. Leave stuff behind that is no longer needed and come back much lighter.
22 pounds total for both bags fully loaded
This bag vs the ALPAKA elements which one are you picking ?
Oh this one easily between those two.
@@ThePerfectBag soooo I ended up getting the AER travel pack Holy moly !!! Such an amazingly built and carefully thought out bag
Whats the weight of the bag with everything you’ve packed?
No clue - sorry! That trip was a while ago!
My go to is tomtoc travel 40liter

Yes - one pair of shoes...I got everything I'm carrying down to 22 pounds....don't want to add more.

Similar. I packed about six t shirts and a few thin pullovers and one pair of pants besides the ones I was wearing
What wallet did you use to hold your passport + vaccination card? Can you provide a link?
Here you go! amzn.to/44szlzZ

Yes - that’s the zero grid wallet - I’ve used it on three international trips and I love it.
I’m going to hit up ATMs at airport and 7-11 for cash

The backpack is around 19 pounds
so many pens
You forgot to put your liquids in a separate clear plastic container.
Did I bring liquids? Toothpaste for sure. I purchased everything else on the other side.
