![]() ![]() The straps contoured to our shoulders pretty well so we didn’t miss the load lifters during our testing but it might have been nice with heavy loads. This upgrade has made the Travel Pack 2 much more comfortable than the previous version.Īer removed the load lifter straps (which helps keep the bag close to your back) that were found on the first version. And second, they give the straps a more ergonomic design so it fits much better. First, they added denser/thicker foam on straps and they made the straps a little wider to better distribute the weight. ![]() The Aer Travel Pack 2 costs $230 via the Aer Website so it’s not a super cheap backpack but it’s obviously designed to last a long time.Īer made some big improvements to the shoulder straps on their Travel Pack 2. It’s also made from heavy-duty 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon so it will take a beating. It’s sleek, streamlined, and blends in well to an urban environment - which really fits our aesthetics. That said, smart packers could use the Aer Travel Pack 2 as their only piece of luggage but it will force you to pack light.īut overall the Aer Travel Pack 2 has a lot of smart organizational features and stylish design choices. Given its 33L size, we’d say this backpack is best for short trips or for people who want to carry a well-designed backpack in addition to their suitcase. The Travel Pack 2 will let you zip through security lines, skip the baggage claim, and navigate busy streets. For reference, the Travel Pack 2 is a 33L backpack and the “maximum legal carry-on” size is around 45L. While this bag can hold a good amount of stuff, the Travel Pack 2 isn’t a huge bag. In what feels like a never ending quest to find the perfect hybrid bag, there is always some flaw or deficiency that always sticks out to me, but it's about finding one that checks most of your boxes.The Aer Travel Pack 2 was designed to fit the needs of the modern one-bag urban traveler. With the tp3s you have the compression strap options to cinch the bag down for EDC, but some still complain it's too big for that purpose. Simply put it's more about function than fashion for this decision and both bags are a bit too similar to keep both. ![]() In the end, since I am using a backpack more for travel than EDC I decided to return the cpp and continue using the tp2s. I also felt the added padding in the laptop computer dug into the main compartment of the cpp a bit. I definitely noticed the cpp has less zipper noise which is a nice little detail that Aer addressed. The cpp's admin panel is half the size with fewer pockets, but a nice clean feeling with solid amount of space to put things like chargers, glasses, etc. The front panel organization in the tp2s has maximum organization for all kinds of different accessories/tech needs. The cpp has some bulk of its own horizontally which is especially noticeable from the side imo. The tp2s is definitely boxier, but that the comes with having added space for packing. You might even be able to get a week or more out of it depending how you pack. The travel pack line is good for a solid 3-4 days worth of clothing from my experience. From what I can tell, the cpp would best be used for EDC and a weekend's worth of travel at the most, unless you pack really light. I agree that the city pack pro looks cleaner and sleeker for sure which is part of the reason why I wanted to compare them. I have a travel pack 2 small and purchased the city pack pro to compare the two packs. ![]()
