Aer Travel Pack Review: A Smart Carry-On Backpack
-
Aer Travel Pack Review
- Usefulness: 10/10. The Aer Travel Pack is the perfect size for a weekend away (or longer if you're a light packer), and it meets carry-on limits for international and domestic airlines. Unlike a regular backpack, this one is easy to pack, as it has a clamshell design which means it opens and loads like a suitcase.
- Value: 7/10. Although expensive for a backpack, the Travel Pack functions more like a good quality carry-on. It has a suspended, padded pocket for your laptop, a ventilated shoe compartment, a water bottle holder, and many more organizational touches that make the price tag worth it.
- Portability: 10/10. The Travel Pack will fit in pretty much overhead bin. It's comfortable to wear as a backpack (thanks to the padded mesh back panel and straps) or can easily be carried duffel-style (with padded top and side handles). Side compression straps help make this bag even more portable.
- Durability: 9/10. The Travel Pack is made from a ballistic nylon exterior that's easy to wipe clean and is very sturdy.
- Cool Factor: 10/10. The sleek design looks more first-class traveler than college student backpack.
Aer's Travel Pack has all the smart touches a traveler needs to stay organized and within the carry-on allowance.
