AER Pro Pack 20L + Slim // EDC TOP Contender?

[@Duanewrites]

The AER Pro Pack 20L reminds me of the A19 Whitley. I use the Whitley as my teacher bag. It holds everyting I need.

Good stuff

[@adamschorr7240]

Another great video John! I didn’t think you were going to keep it. So not your style. But I respect the objective review you gave it.

[@JBOutside1]

I appreciate that! Thanks Adam!

[@Intechrity]

I have the City Pack Pro. While I do love it, I agree it’s more urban than what I need/want.

[@JBOutside1]

Yep

[@wds3222]

I got the slim version. I have an office job so most of the times i will just bring my laptop and a couple small things.

[@JBOutside1]

Nice!

Great video great view nice place. Nice bag 👍

[@JBOutside1]

Thanks Peter! 👊🏻

[@toodamnskippy6220]

I like AER products, style, appearance, features and materials. This one looks a bit small on you, the M22 looks perfect in the other video.

[@JBOutside1]

Thanks for watching! I agree. For a bit small. 👊🏻

[@snapdragon2441]

But as a small female office worker who likes to EDC, do you think it would work well?

Great review though a not for you. A nope for me, too, though it should be a yes. Urban gal. Check. Good for a short torso. Check. (Mostly) Intuitive organization. Check. Separate laptop compartment and protected. Check. Top pocket. Check. Durable. Check. Outside water bottle pocket. Holds its shape when not fully packed out. Check. But...looks a bit fat, a little too polished, and a little too mainstream. I say that while I wear a GR1 21L that seems like (almost) every person wears. Tell me it rides high and it's the most comfortable bag you've ever worn and I might reconsider. Looking for EDC that meets all the checks and then some. My neck and shoulder are crying out for relief. Suggestions? Cheers from your fan.

[@JBOutside1]

Hmm, that’s a tough one. Seems like it checks so many boxes it’d be worth a shot. I can’t say it rides high or is the “most” comfortable (although it is really comfortable). It wasn’t for me because of the style. It’s actually on loan to my neighbor and she really likes it for the same reasons you mention. So…🤷🏼‍♂️

[@seechangenyc280]

@@JBOutside1So what are your top three most comfortable bags for EDC (I likely will need something shorter for my 17" torso but you nevah know)but I'm super curious.

[@JBOutside1]

@@seechangenyc280 this is a great question. I don’t have a favorite list as I think most of the bags I’ve seen are generally quite padded and sufficiently comfortable. What I do recall is that the Peak Design bags, at least the ones I’ve reviewed are the least comfortable long term. I’ve not been a fan of their shoulder straps.

[@seechangenyc280]

@@JBOutside1ditto. And I’m not at one with Bellroy - yet. Nevah say nevah!

Was happy to be in DTW yesterday!

[@shyamkasundra675]

Great review! You should review your LuggageWorks bag next 😉. Love my Maverick.

[@JBOutside1]

I get excited about backpacks. To be honest the luggage works is like an old pickup that does the job.

[@PalmBeachDog]

Mystery pocket is for an Air Tag.

[@polar775]

What size yeti is that?

[@JBOutside1]

18oz Yeti

[@rknapp12]

Could it fit a 26oz Yeti?

[@JBOutside1]

@@rknapp12 hey man, I’m out of town all week and can’t try it out. Sorry!

[@errydm]

3:10 Don't like the rasta look of the bag. Too much zippers dangling. 😅

[@JBOutside1]

Haha, yeah it sure did look that way! I thought about it later and should have suggested the technique of keeping the double pulls on the opposite side
