The same 'suspension system' also extends to the gadget organizer layer, giving you a peace of mind for other gadgets too. This works for this backpack because of its relatively long shape, but kudos to the person who made the bag drop proof by simply a few additional stitches. The AER Travel Pack 2 solution to this is laughably simple, yet is guaranteed to be effective: The laptop pocket does not reach the bottom of the bag, but instead the pocket is stitched shut roughly 3 inches before it reaches the bottom of the bag, effectively suspending the laptop half way in the pocket. What I ended up with was a dented laptop that constantly reminded me to add a layer of cumbersome but obligatory hard sleeve inside my backpack. One of my personal favorite details is the side grab handle that is fully made from this flat webbing that looks polished yet exudes strength and reliability.Īfter using this backpack for a while, packing and unpacking my laptop and gadgets, I noticed a very simple design implementation that adds almost no additional manufacturing cost but adds an essential layer of protection to the laptop in the bag.Ī few years ago when my backpack accidentally slid off my shoulder while getting off the car, I learned the hard way that though normally laptop pockets offer padding on the front and back, the padding on the bottom is insufficient to protect the laptop from a 4 feet drop. But after some research, I found that Cordura IS the tough material that other manufacturers use as a tougher base material - talk about a vote of confidence!Īll the straps on the Travel Pack are made with flat webbing - similar to what seatbelts are made of. Classic designs normally cover the base with a tougher material (for example JanSport's iconic leather base). I was initially worried about wear and tear on the base of the backpack that often comes in contact with the floor.
AER BAG TRAVEL REVIEW PROFESSIONAL
It is reputed to be a material originally developed for body armor, and its professional appearance works well with the overall minimalistic look. The bag is mainly constructed of a jet black, woven, semi-glossy fabric called Cordura that is known for being more abrasion resistant than ballistic nylon.
What caught my eyes first were the extra large and robust YKK zips - all finished in gun metal black that seems both utilitarian and graceful. With visuals that match your shirt and slacks, the AER Travel Pack's toughness is a closer match to your cargo and Gore-Tex Jacket.
