I love how you talk about how some bags look like a turtle shell! It's so true, especially for us shorter folks. Thanks for such a comprehensive review!
I’m glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for backpacks for a petite girl like me. Would love to see how you pack for a 5 day trip with clothes and skincare!
I'm not a girl, but as a smallish guy, I found this review very helpful. It's one of the best reviews of this bag I've seen on YT. Thanks and well done!
Absolutely loved this review, especially for my frame, which is similar to yours. But more importantly, where can I get that black skort you're wearing??
This is a great bag! I got the 28L. I'm even shorter than you (only 5 ft 😢) and the 35L would look humongous on me. I got the X-Pac version. Not really a fan of the outer material. But I'm a BIG fan of the orange interior! It might be a shallow reason to get the Xpac but it looks AMAZING and makes me twice as happy
@@blurpblurp the xpac outer material is 'crincklier' (noisy, I mean) and more water-resistant. Has a more 'plasticky' feeling. The zippers are all aqua-guard which makes them water resistant too, but that comes at the price of making them a bit harder to open and close. But is not big deal. you get used to that.
Hey, just a content tip since your channel says "for girls". My wife would love if you showed what type of skin care products and how you pack them minimally. I bet other girls would be interested if you just went over what you take in your DOPP kit... Just an idea, I'm not criticizing or hating. Going back to your point.... I'm ALMOST pulling the trigger on the AER 3... I'm just hoping it will fit me better than the GR1.
I'm great fan of this brand and your review helped me to overlook and it's great 👍🏻 thanks for the review ❤ Looking forward to purchase this product when i gather all the money
Great review. Nice to see it on a shorter person. I don't travel much, so I think when I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these I'll go for the small (28L), as it will mainly be used for EDC.
Great review - would love to see your thoughts on the Aer Go Pack 2, the Tom Bihn Synapse 19/25, Fjallraven Raven 20, Baboon to the Moon City Pack, Mystery Ranch District 18/24. Great set of bags!
Do you have a link to buy the 28L? Gotta get my girlie her commission :) unfortunately the 35L is too big to be a “personal item” on spirit/frontier (if you get a gate agent who goes according to the rules, at least 😂 and I’m not tryna count on luck that they won’t care). But the 28L will work! So I’m going to try it
Ah thank you so much that is appreciated 🫶 Oh god do NOT mess with spirit lol they dont play around with the size. The small should fit perfectly! go.nomadsnation.com/travel-pack-3-small
I would love to see you review the Mountain Hardwear Redeye 45!!! I’m searching for some bags for a trip later this year and love your content, heavily considering this bag but haven’t found many video reviews on it
I have the 28 liter and I really regret buying the smaller bag. Just not big enough it’s more of a second bag. It’s quite chunky also. I think they need more mesh that’s see thru… I could not easily see where I put things 😢 I say always go for a 35 - 40 when traveling for a woman
I'm starting to rethink it myself with the TP3. But I like how much easier it fits underneath an airline seat. The smaller bag forced to cut down on what I can carry. I'm Marisa-size, and the bag looks huge on her!
@@surelyslim I need a bag that will accommodate 4 days. I think 28L is more for 2 days. yes it fits under the seat very well but at 5’10 my clothes are bigger also lol I need to shrink😝
Thanks so much for this review! ❤ I’d been going back and forth between the Osprey Fairview 40L and this one. I like that the Aer Travel Pack 3 has a tech organizer and more quick access compartments but when you add on the waist straps it’s nearly $100 more than the Fairview. 😢
Ugh i do loveeee me the Osprey Fairview, super comfortable. But agreed Aer is better for tech organization and has more convenient pockets. If you are on a budget tho I would highly recommend the Osprey it’s great for the price
Thank you for your review! I have one question about the suspension laptop pocket, it is also supported by a stiff plastic side- or it is just the soft padding? I just mean, if I drop the bag, will there be stiff backing to hit the ground first and protect/keep the laptop from hitting the ground?
Glad you like! No just soft padding, but yes it will protect your laptop from hitting the ground if its dropped. Aer has very secure laptop compartments 👍
Great job on the review. Slightly off topic but could you recommend a medium to small size duffle bag that would be likely to fit under the airplane seat?
Hmm I haven’t used too many duffles, I have a baboon to the moon duffle review coming out soon it’s the go bag mini, that will fit under the seat! It’s got colorful options if that’s something you’re interested in lol
This bag is good for me as a tall man with a wide frame, I can get away with them thinking it's personal item sized, but for most other people, you'll likely get it counted as your carry-on as it is fairly large looking.
@@GearfortheGirls Pretty good impersonation though. I have loads of Texan friends. I realised that you weren't after seeing your other videos. You're throwing in random America accents. Very nice reviews of bags!
You can tighten them but you will still have dangle. If you're trying to bring it on the plane i would go with the travel pack 3 small version. Or you can try Nomatic or Osprey i know those travel bags straps can tuck away for a dangle free experience
I love how you talk about how some bags look like a turtle shell! It's so true, especially for us shorter folks. Thanks for such a comprehensive review!
It's SUCH a struggle! But good I'm so happy you enjoyed the review :)
so good finally see girl do the bag test for this, I'm a petite girl and you have no idea how hard to find a backpack suits me ! many thanks!
ahh thank you!! glad i can help :)
I’m glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for backpacks for a petite girl like me. Would love to see how you pack for a 5 day trip with clothes and skincare!
Glad you're liking it!! I will try and do a packing video :)
Wow you sound exactly like Aaron from nomads nation
Ha he's my brother!
Thank you so much for the review. As a short folk, I love seeing you talk about it. Just bought it, you convinced me! Keep up with the good work!
That makes me so happy to hear! :)

Hell yes do what makes you happy!! I’m a suckerrrr for a fun interior color, check out Alpaka bags if you like the bright orange interior!
what is the different of the normal pack compared to the X-Pac?
@@blurpblurp the x-pac has an orange interior, it’s lighter, more expensive, and it only comes in blk
@@blurpblurp the xpac outer material is 'crincklier' (noisy, I mean) and more water-resistant. Has a more 'plasticky' feeling.

@@misstubbie1313 yeah. i like the normal one outer material look, but the xpac one is lighter. so ive ordered mine. hopefully i will love it. 😬

Aw thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :)
I was wondering the it sounded like Nomads Nation in the beginning. Okay now I know!
Brought to ya by Nomads Nation :)
Great review. Nice to see it on a shorter person. I don't travel much, so I think when I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these I'll go for the small (28L), as it will mainly be used for EDC.
Thanks! Yes these bags do look different on shorter people, the 28L is a great bigger EDC option! I hope you like it
love your channel!! seeing these bags on you is so so helpful as a 4’10 woman 😭
Thank you so much! Yes the short girls need to be represented hahah
please please please do best budget bag, these reviews are so helpful to me but i cant afford most of them :(
Totally understandable i got you with some budget options!!
Osprey Fairview for budget packers
Great review - would love to see your thoughts on the Aer Go Pack 2, the Tom Bihn Synapse 19/25, Fjallraven Raven 20, Baboon to the Moon City Pack, Mystery Ranch District 18/24.

Also missed the hidden sleeve on the lid inside the main compartment
Ahh thank you! 🙏🏻
Some things you missed - it's also available black X-Pac fabric; there's another carry handle at the bottom of the pack.
Thank you! It’s a big bag sometimes ya girl misses some things lol

Can you do a video side by side with the Aer City Pro
I will try and add it to the list :)

lucky you!! haha yes this bag looks massive on me, but its suchhh a good bag!
2:02 how did you unlock the door without turn the key?
ya caught me, was just for show
Hi, can you get the bag in HK?
Yes!
@@GearfortheGirls cool! where do you recommend?
online they ship to hong kong, or they may have it at Suburban!
@@GearfortheGirls ahh right. ill check it out. Thank you :)
Hey Marissa, try do review on fjallraven backpacks.
I will try and add it to the list!✅
@@GearfortheGirls doughnut macaroons too.
That one is coming soon ;)
good work
Thanks so much!!
Are you Texan? Aaron doesn't sound Texan at all!
Ha i am not! Just like to throw in some random accents from time to time😂
@@GearfortheGirls Pretty good impersonation though. I have loads of Texan friends. I realised that you weren't after seeing your other videos. You're throwing in random America accents. Very nice reviews of bags!
There's many different accents that will get thrown around lol glad you are enjoying thank you!😃
Hey you're super cute, i got me an AER just now, let's pack up wanna go on an adventure together?
Only if you bought it through my link ;)
Her review is just the same as aarons the pockets the pros and cons are the same with others useless channel
Might be more useful for the girls 😉
You talk like a girl version of aaron which is kind of bad because you don't have your own personality just be yourself and talk like you normally do
Did you ever think maybe Aaron is the boy version of me?? 🤔🤔🤔
@@GearfortheGirlsdon’t mind the haters!
@@GearfortheGirls who would have thought that siblings share some personality characteristics lol 🤷♂
Can you remove the shoulder straps and store them in the back?
No these straps aren't removable
@@GearfortheGirls Thank you.
