Thank you for this video. I struggled so much to find proper videos/imagery of the inside of this bag, the only other video on KZbin is in another language and glazes over the space inside. I’m trying to replace my broken tote which is super roomy for going out shopping, but just enough tech compartments to house battery chargers and stuff for EDC. I struggle to find this in other bags, they either have loads of space and no compartments, or loads of compartments and no space. I don’t intend to carry a laptop ha ha. But this video is great. I would suggest though, always good to show how much stuff you fit in here. Get a better idea of spaciousness and whether loosely structured laptop/tablet compartments get in the way when trying to stuff items in. I genuinely like the look, but im not sure im 100% sold just yet. A shoulder strap would have been nice on this bag. Thanks for the review, I’ve subscribed now.

Thanks for the kind words Kano and great recommendation about showing how much stuff can fit in the tote - cheers!

I was very excited when I saw the thumbnail, surprised by the price, and progressively disapointed as you went through the features. I love the look and concept, but it doesn't seem to follow through on any of the crossover functions particularly well. A gym bag with no water bottle pocket? Water resistant zipper on the quick access pocket but gaping holes on the top? And yeah that laptop pocket isn't going to do it for me either. I usually carry a tablet and I wouldn't even trust that in there. For $40-50 I might overlook some of those flaws, but no way for $110. Thanks for pointing out the issues as always.

[@Nomads.Nation]

It is a bit confusing to me as well.

[@adrianalastairyong7311]

FYI there is a water bottle pocket. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXW9d5h4oK6dZrs

[@pao_banaag]

I just had to show appreciation for that stepbrothers deep cut 🤣 nice work as always guys

[@Nomads.Nation]

Haha thanks my dude!

[@pao_banaag]

@@Nomads.Nation considering any goruck or mystery ranch bags in the future? Those are pretty awesome too

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@pao_banaag hell yes! those are probably the two brands I haven't reviewed yet that I am most excited to check out. Hopefully soon!

[@jdmarin85]

I'm thinking of buying this Tote bag as a beach bag. i think it will work amazingly

[@Nomads.Nation]

I think it will too! It def wasn’t designed for that as Aer is more urban, but it will certainly work

[@LKimuraC]

Another good thing about this bag is that, technically I can unzip and put A3 papers for my work. You don’t get better size to carry A3 papers from other bags as they are usually huge.

[@Nomads.Nation]

A3 for the win!

[@taturpin]

The doll hand! 😂

[@Nomads.Nation]

our videographer had fun with that one 😂

[@mkphilly]

Good job A, as usual. Lo e all my AERs, and I've been thinking 'bout a tote..... don't know that I like that vertical entry on the front, as it seem stuff would just tumble out... like the straightforward look, tho...don't need the shoe stuff, as I just the idea of a big tote, period...hole on top: nah..... gonna ruminate on this for a while...

[@Nomads.Nation]

We have similar views on this one haha

[@ryanmontgomery9935]

Can you review the aer travel sling 2. Comparing to aer tech sling 2 ?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Really hoping to review the Aer Travel Sling soon!

[@d.nakamura9579]

I think that aer needs to retiring that signature vertical front zip. It’s just not a functional or practical form factor for pocket storage. Horizontal is so much better

[@Nomads.Nation]

so I agree and disagree. On this bag? Yea, not great. But have you ever used the Evergoods CPL24 or Alpaka Metro Backpack? Game changer. That's why I designed my Fyro T22 backpack like that, vertical access can be incredible, it just has to be designed right

[@regen2787]

Can i force a 14" laptop in?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Always best to ask these questions to the brand's customer support - please let us know what they say!

[@CannabisTechLife]

Lack of water resistance / proof issue on the top is a no for me dawg.

[@Nomads.Nation]

I don’t disagree. It’s a bit peculiar they did that

[@DomKom113]

What if this is as good as it gets? great movie quote.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Accidental quote on my part? Lol

[@Seanonyoutube]

Idk about this whole taking your laptop to the gym business

[@Nomads.Nation]

As long as your gym has a locker you’ll be good to go!

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@Nomads.Nation philosophically it seems wrong

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@Seanonyoutube I get what you're saying for sure! But for someone who works at an office and also wants to lift some weights, it's a great option 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@Nomads.Nation yeah I guess, if they are also not commuting by car on top of that then it makes sense. But I think it makes sense for most people to keep their gym and tech separate.

[@nathangriff6862]

Aren’t totes for women? They just seem so much like handbags and I’m trying my best not to sound sexist here but I don’t feel very manly when I’m carrying something in a tote. I don’t really go through life needing to feel manly but I sort of do at least to some extent if I’m going to the gym. I don’t really get this one. Maybe if it was offered with a sling option or with backpack straps it would be pretty cool. I guess it would just be an Aer day pack, fit pack or duffel pack then though. I do love my Aer duffel pack three, by the way, and would not change it for this tote ever.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Nah totes are unisex IMO.

[@speedocowboy]

Guess what? You sound sexist.

[@nathangriff6862]

@@speedocowboy I don't mean to come off that way or any other; just being honest about not wanting to use a tote.
