Aer ULTRA Collection: Greatest Hits (City Pack Pro, Travel Pack 3, Duffel Pack 3, Sling)

[@omegaphoenix6]

Thank you for always adding footage of how it looks on a human body. One of my biggest buying factors “how it looks on a person”

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I’m glad the video was helpful and I agree, that’s one of the things I always want to see if I’m considering a bag

[@jboogie325]

I love that lime green liner. I wish they would have used it to replace every bit of the grey liner in this lineup

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and good call out! Would be cool to see that make its way into more of their bags!

[@MrMLK]

I agree. I ordered a Day sling 3 anyhow, but it wou;d even nicer with an all green lining.

[@LandoTomato]

These technical fabrics are awesome and in my experience I’ve had very little delamination but it’s disastrous when it happens.

[@TLhike]

I think key is to make sure they dont cook in direct sun or overheat in hot vehicle for unlimited time. I know sail boats have lighter colors but Great point tho!

[@JonCross]

Bought the day sling got it and love the look and the green accents

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and glad to hear you are liking it so far!:)

[@gcruishank9663]

Just ordered the travel pack 3 ultra today with the hip belt, can't wait to try it out!! Great review!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I hope you enjoy using the bag a lot!:)

[@gcruishank9663]

@@dannypacks Got the bag yesterday, haven't loaded it up yet, but just trying it on and looking through it, it looks GREAT. The Ultra material looks like it will last a long time, zippers looks really good. I bought the hip belt as well which seems to work really well. The only thing I wish Aer sold hip belt pouches, like the Tortuga packs already have built in. Looks like I'm going to have to search for an aftermarket that will work, there are quite a few out there.

[@0rrin]

Is the material on the ultra a matte black or shiny colour? ​@@gcruishank9663

[@SY-dq9lh]

Wow.... Good job Aer... Thanks Danny 👍

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! Definitely a cool collection!:)

[@JonCross]

Great review of the new offerings

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! Im glad the video was helpful and definitely excited about this collection!

[@jboogie325]

First to like the video. Sick! Aer makes some awesome stuff

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! :)

[@jonuiuc]

Ah, I wish they did the day sling max in this fabric. oh well.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I agree it would have been great to see more of their line up with this option

[@manscharmmsn9414]

Nice video bro. I just got lucky when I came across an Aer tech pack 2 in a thirfted store here for less than 25 US dollars! Perfect backpack for every day use indeed ❤❤❤

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! That’s an awesome deal, glad you were able to get such an awesome bag at that price!

[@ChristopherMichaelR]

Excellent review. I'll probably pass on these bags. I feel like they just reskinned all their current bags with ultra and upped the price. I was hoping that with the new ultra material they'd drop weight a lot. Would like a sub 2lb City pro

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the support! Definitely would have been nice to see more of a weight reduction with the ultra fabric

[@TLhike]

For those who scoff at price: You get what you pay for. Cheap will fail @ the worst possible time. Old saying: “if you got a $10 head, get $10 helmet” I did a thru hike on john muir trail 228 miles and ducking under a tree in storm caught huge broken branch which wouldve destroyed any pack from any outdoor store. But my expensive dyneema pack was barely scuffed. Now add in the occasional forced bag check and see if baggage handlers are gonna white glove your Bag. Also had my stuff tossed on way to Africa and my overpriced stuff again was unfazed and even w lifetime warranty on usual commercial stuff youre still in middle of nowhere lookin for duct tape. Also touring w major bands someone invariably rips strap off while removing tons bags or breaks zipper from under a bus storage, its fun. Price is only issue in the absence of Value, pay once cry once its worth it!

[@BenjaminJcqt]

I was hoping this would come with a significant reduction in weight but not really 🙁

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and fair point! It would have been nice to have the ultra help make these bags lighter

[@polterghosty]

I wish the brief or the tech sling were part of this!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I agree it Would have been nice to see more of their bags have this as an option

[@5hyk]

This or Bellroy Transit Work Pack 26l, for office and gym use for everyday?

[@jrd461]

Between the City Pack Pro and the Travel Pack 3 Small, which would you choose if you travel sometimes but plan to also use it for EDC and being a father?

[@bilaltahir9978]

What did you decide?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I think both can work well, it will just come down to preference on the size (if you don’t mind a larger daily bag I think the tp3 small is a little more versatile) and if you are going to use it more for day to day I might go with the city pack pro

[@leomak4226]

Danny would you go evergoods ctb 26 in xpac or the aer travel pack small in ultra?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and that is a tough choice! 😅 as much as I love the tp3 small I still lean towards the pocket layout of the Ctb26 so it’s the one I end up using more often

[@jimpeeRNx]

Xpac reminds me of Christian Bale Batman, while Ultra reminds me of Batfleck 😅

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I can see that! :) haha

[@kareemaszz]

شكراً لك فيديو مفيد جداً جاء في وقته مراجعة ممتعة ومتكاملة

[@RITPA]

I have a day sling Xpac edition and the fidlock is always detaching. I stopped using the bag. This version looks like a different version of fidlock, what is your experience with it?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! In general my experience with the v type fidlock buckles on these bags has been great, very secure and it always feels like you have to very intentionally release it

[@stevetang3105]

Challenge ULTRA 400x and ULTRA 400 Tx (from fiordland packs: Testing Fabrics), are they the same?

[@michamaecki5454]

How tall are you? Im torn between picking TP3 and TP3 small. I gonna use it for EDC on days when I go to gym/ training from office, I'd need to carry laptop, pc mouse, ipad, notebook, charger, gym stuff (towel, shoes, tshirt, shorts), coffe mug, water bottle and lunchbox - do u think i can stuff it into small version?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I am 5’11” and I think the small one could work depending on the size of lunch box and shoes as those can get quite bulky 😅

[@TheseUncertainTimes]

I’m always this close to buying a Ultra Dragonfly every restock day but every time I see pictures of well worn Ultra bags I change my mind. I can’t with the wrinkles.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I have been testing the ultra dragonfly out and so far it’s been really cool but I’ll have to keep an eye out on how the fabric continues to hold up!

[@MimiTrann]

I have the X-Pac 30l Dragonfly version (RX40) and have really enjoyed it.

[@BananaChipzzz]

I’d rather have the Xpac stuff to be honest. The Ultra looks like garbage with it’s wrinkly look. Sure, I’m sure it’s a fantastic technical fabric, but so is Xpac and for 99% of us, it’s probably the better option.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and fair points! The aesthetic definitely won’t be for everyone and I agree xpac is still an excellent alternative!

[@TheKruegdaddy]

What are all the differences between X-Pac? I know the material and color anything else? Travel pack small?

[@share1e-ek7oe]

Nice!

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching!:)

[@Maikky]

Great review, may i ask how tall you are?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I am 5’11” :)

[@4fawksake707]

i wish they release the regular City Pack 😥

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and I agree it would have been awesome to have that one been part of this release as well!

[@tracywang1]

Can travel pack 3 be put under seat when taking flight.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! The travel pack 3 will be a little too big as a personal item, the travel pack 3 small can work, but might be too big for the dimensions pm the stricter airlines

[@hemkumarbamjan2444]

How to get Aer travel pack 3 in finland???

[@michamaecki5454]

Purchase it from UK store, VAT is deducted from final price if they ship it to EU

[@patrick1992]

​@@michamaecki5454yes but then they add the Finland VAT + Fees it's then 350-400 euros

[@TLhike]

Dammit now i have to have new pack!. I have the pro pack 24L which is great but, you know always a journey. Just got back from Canada trip w Eagle creek roller w 24l pro as personal item was perfect blend. Was thinking Ultra 35L and my xpac tech sling as personal to keep volume. Decisions … great review!

[@DrWoc]

Why didn't they do this with the fit pack 3. No one buys the duffel

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! Although I tend to prefer the duffel over the fit pack, I do agree it would have been great for that one to have gotten the ultra update as well

[@MrISoFr3sh]

Wish I didn't have a travel pack 3 in xpac otherwise I'd trade it in for a ultra

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! I still think the x pac compares very well to ultra

[@MrISoFr3sh]

@@dannypacks Yes they're both durable materials just the ultra travel pack 3 is lighter then my xpac just by some oz

[@terry7344]

i agree. the magnetic lock keeps falling apart, fustrating.

[@riadraouf691]

Is ultra 400x better than xpac ?

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching! It’s tough to say for sure as this is a newer fabric for me but so far it does seem like it offers additional durability, weight reduction and water resistance than Xpac. With that being said xpac is still an excellent fabric and I wouldn’t recommend replacing xpac bags with ultra if you already have them

[@mokisan]

I know this is the backpack community. And this is quite niche. But seriously who is buying these $300 bags. 😅 I mean I appreciate your video and I love watching the content behind it. And I also get the hype behind good quality. But $200+ seems too much for a bag. Maybe I am just poor. The tomtoc range seems like a good balance between quality and price.

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and definitely fair points! Price is always an interesting subject around these types of goods as it can be so subjective (still blows my mind there are purses that can cost 10,000). I agree there are great options at lower price points that still offer solid quality, tomtoc like you said makes some really solid options

[@ThatCleanMT]

You’re poor

[@mokisan]

@@ThatCleanMT ya I guess 🥲

[@patrick1992]

​@@mokisanif you travel a lot as digital nomad or backpacker you are very happy to have a good bag from air, osprey or others because it's comfortable + no extra fees because it's light :)

[@scootermcgoot]

This is so cringe. It's not even a review. Paid sponsored and lame

[@dannypacks]

Thank you for watching and for the feedback! I’ll continue to be on the lookout for ways to improve and make the videos more helpful for viewers :)

[@geep8591]

Did he say it was a review of the bags?

[@TLhike]

Whats lame? Hes Very comprehensive he goes over all details plus wears them, compares them and his experience w old and new lines. WTF??? start your own channel genius 🤷‍♂️

[@imjk11]

Really torn between the Duffel Pack 3 and City Pack Pro for work & gym. I'm confused about the size difference as Duffel Pack is 21L and the City Pack Pro is 24L, but the Duffel Pack seems physically larger. Has anyone compared these two?
