Again, there’s nothing particularly awe-inspiring going on, but it’s a small pack, so it doesn’t require anything awe-inspiring. The padded straps are comfortable to wear-even when the bag’s fully packed out-and the back panel has a little bit of mesh and air channels for breathability. The harness system is nothing too fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. The Aer Fit Pack 2 is a simple bag, so it’s no surprise that there’s nothing wild going on externally. When push comes to shove, we generally prefer 1680D CORDURA® ballistic nylon over the X-Pac material (there’s a reason it’s Aer’s go-to fabric).įinally, you’ll find Duraflex hardware throughout this pack, which should see you through years of hard use. Plus, it’s water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain. We’ve never had issues with any of those aforementioned bags-and we’ve put them through the wringer for years. We’re comfortable speaking to it in this review because we’ve tested numerous Aer bags, including the Aer Travel Pack 2, Aer Travel Duffel, and Aer Day Sling 2, all of which feature this ballistic nylon.ġ680D CORDURA® ballistic nylon is seriously tough. Like the chunky YKK zippers, you can expect to find this durable fabric on most of Aer’s products. The regular edition of the Aer Fit Pack 2 is made of 1680D CORDURA® ballistic nylon, which is classic Aer. 1680D CORDURA® Ballistic Nylon On Aer Flight Pack 2 This edition is made of an X-Pac material that we’re really loving. (We don’t mind the jingly-ness, but we have a different bone to pick with these zippers, which we’ll discuss in the External Components section below.)Įither way, these zippers do add some solid water-resistance, which is always nice.Īs we mentioned earlier, we’ve been testing the limited edition version of the Aer Fit Pack 2. Some people like that pop of style, while others hate how jingly the zipper pulls are. Nearly everything they sell features these beastly zippers, which can be polarizing. The chunky, YKK® AquaGuard zippers basically go hand-in-hand with Aer’s logo at this point. The more stuff you shove inside the main compartment, the more it will stick out, which can end up looking kind of funny. The aesthetic does change slightly as you fill the pack up. We’re fans, but if you like bright colorways we’d suggest checking out Topo Designs or Cotopaxi. We’re digging the black colorway that we’ve been testing-no surprise for those of you familiar with us-but you can also pick it up in such daring colorways as Gray, Navy, and Black Camo. It has a minimalistic exterior and a round, almost teardrop shape. The Aer Fit Pack 2 looks like a regular ole backpack…in the best way possible. It’s nearly the same as the regular Fit Pack 2, except it’s made of a different fabric, has a bright interior color, and an extra handle, all of which we’ll discuss in detail later. The pack you take when you decide to quit your job and join a traveling circus? Why not?īefore we jump into the review, we want to note that we’ve been testing a limited edition of the Aer Fit Pack 2 that’s no longer available.
A minimal travel pack for short trips? Sure. And it’s performed really well.īut you can always be a rebel and use this pack for whatever else. We’ve been testing the Aer Fit Pack 2 as intended for the past month, taking it from work straight to the gym. No more trying to shove your gym clothes and shoes into an EDC backpack. No more trying to make a duffle work for your laptop and tech gear. The Aer Fit Pack 2 has been designed to be part gym bag, part laptop bag. If you’ve got your life together and visit the gym/boxing ring/yoga studio/trail/favorite place to exercise either before or after work, then you have come to the right review.
