An Upgrade To A Hugely Popular Sling - The Aer City Sling 2

[@ilzephyrli]

The V1 also had the discreet pocket in the back.

[@157baron]

Hey bro, good video and very informative! A couple tips I would suggest are to wear a shirt thats not the same color as the item you are reviewing. This way when you put it on to showcase how it carries, we as the audience can see whats going on, vs everything disappearing because your shirt is the same color. Also, it would be nice if your setup was a little brighter to really make those product details a little easier to see. Otherwise, nice work dude!

[@vosk6481]

Reviewers seem to like to color their clothes with the bag. Ive noticed it multiple times 😢🤷‍♂️

00:02 "All new City Sling 2 from *Ehhh*" Americans: "You mean AER??"

[@RushfasterTV]

lol

[@ItsLeeTalks]

Always enjoy the videos! Are you guys going to upload in higher quality one day maybe? On some of my (bigger) screens the quality has a huge drop since it stays at 1080P max

[@seantang89]

This guy does great reviews!

Thanks so much for your support, Sean! - Prikee

[@JordanBlick]

Nabbed this in the X-Pac version and am super happy with it. That X-Pac material is durable AF!!

[@timzusa]

How is the durability compared to the standard material?

[@JordanBlick]

@@timzusa Hey mate, I've got no idea, as I don't own the standard version. But I can say that the X-Pac definitely feels extremely durable and long-lasting. Highly recommend going for it, if you can afford the hike in price.

[@timzusa]

@@JordanBlick xpac is sold out. Lol. Did the City Sling 2 just get released recently?

[@RushfasterTV]

Glad you like it dude! And yes, just recently released - Ed

[@JordanBlick]

@@timzusa released 2 weeks ago, mate. sucks you missed out on the xpac version.

[@foscamkoto2728]

I ordered my X-pac directly from AerSF, the "aircraft-grade ionized aluminum hardware" and everything that is connected to the belt are all plastic. Did Aer changed it the last few months?

[@drugstorecowboi]

i just got my city sling 2 last week, vx42, and mine are aluminum.

2:32 "bright grey" I think I'm colorblind

[@zeez9053]

Looked bright orange to me

[@RushfasterTV]

Might be one for the blooper reel then! :D - John

[@Tony16610]

I bought this sling to carry a Fuji X100V, Kindle Paperwhite, and Airpods and unfortunately it's just a bit too small for that. If it was 15-20% larger then it would be perfect!

[@jbrooklynchild]

Does the kindle paperweight fit by itself? My main concern of this bag.

[@rashaunmcclurkin3634]

Can you be able to fit a compact umbrella in this bag?

[@tuckertech]

I ordered this in x-pac. Can’t wait until it gets here

[@RushfasterTV]

Awesome choice! Pretty sure you'll like it :) Thanks for the support! - John

[@joonic1192]

do you like it still?

[@tuckertech]

@@joonic1192 I love it! It folds down really flat so I can pack it in my carry on and then when I’m running around use it as my bag.

[@benwaechterm]

Love the video! Style-wise which do you like better in person? The xpac or regular black?

[@flyby9741]

I was gonna ask the same question then I stumbled upon yours and is still unanswered after a month. So, I'm not gonna ask anymore. Either way, I just splurged and bought one a Black Friday discount.

[@azku]

Which 1 did u end up getting?

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

OH man -the Nomad kevlar 3 in 1 charger is a must have !! picked one up at REI :))

[@RushfasterTV]

Yes! Absolute lifesaver - Ed

[@19aaron83]

Is the strap wide enough to manage shoulder pain with long use?

[@fwfefrtefdv4719]

Does V2 comes without fidlock option?

[@joshuakeoni]

Did you mean to say Orange instead of bright gray? Or is the color off?

[@JayRegular]

Will you guys be getting this in stock soon?

[@josephsugiarto]

They told me they’ll get it in stock early October

[@JayRegular]

@@josephsugiarto pretty keen 👌

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey Jay! Stocks are incoming and should be ready anytime this October, keep an eye out, this guys sell fast! If you are in AU, contact the team for assistance - John

[@JayRegular]

@@RushfasterTV cheers John. I'll be in touch

[@iu1191]

Great video. I like the city sling 2. It makes sense. What does NOT make sense is that the Tech Sling 2 can only be carried on one shoulder. I got it and I really like it but have a real problem with that. It is the opposite shoulder to the one I tend to use so feels uncomfortable. Your review was great and did the bag justice. It is one of the few bags that can be a sling AND carry around a 13inch PC AND an iPad. The organization is killer and the bag looks great .... When it is NOT on the shoulder. V. Uncomfortable otherwise. Thinking of modding it! Have you heard that form anyone else or is it just me?

[@RushfasterTV]

I agree with you 100%. The Tech Sling is great but incredibly limiting if you prefer to sling on the opposite side. - Ed

[@chonomac1710]

I have the same dilemma. I just got the Tech Sling today, and I have the City Sling 2 coming Friday. I completely agree with you at the moment. It is amazing when not on the shoulder and has such great capacity and organization for the size, but it's just not feeling comfortable to me on my shoulder (especially with MacBook Air and iPad Pro in it).

[@shersurewin]

What brano of hand sanitizer is that?

[@xGraffxify]

I love the reviews, videos are well done and been a fan for a while but unfortunately can’t watch the videos anymore, best of luck!

[@vienpadilla1867]

Can this be use like a fanny pack? I’m planning to get this when I’m shooting weddings and I need a small bag to put my lenses on and other accessories.

[@psychiclovespells630]

Yes it can.

[@YeahTheDuckweed]

does a nintendo switch fit inside (comfortably?)

Any recommended small water bottles that fit the bag? Other than the Memo bottles

[@schooly40]

Will this sling fit a Kindle Paperwhite in the main compartment?

[@jackshen5093]

V1 fits kindle perfectly, so I’d say V2 would fit it too

[@bwright1991]

Is Ed colorblind?

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey Ben, he's just collecting some content for our annual blooper reel.. lol.. Kidding aside, I will let the team know :D - John

[@AbrahamMusalem]

I loveeeee your videos but plz update to 4K

[@RushfasterTV]

working on it.

[@mauricesaunders5460]

Will this be able to fit an iPad mini 6?

[@RushfasterTV]

Sadly, it won't. The iPad mini (6th generation) is more than half an inch wider than the bag.

[@mauricesaunders5460]

@@RushfasterTV I so wanted it too fit, lol but I guess I'll settle on the COB XPod Sling

[@anthonywjl]

I already have the v1, do you think there are significant improvements worth the upgrade?

[@RushfasterTV]

It's got more space than the previous one (that can be a good or bag depending on what you like). The improved hardware is a very welcome upgrade (fidlock magnetic buckle and aluminium hardware instead of plastic duraflex). Haul handle at the top is also a nice touch. - Ed

[@anthonywjl]

@@RushfasterTV well… thank you for the tip! And for the video!

[@veritas.ve.42]

[@AK-ze5in]

Please provide measurements

[@DennisLimCY]

the city sling 2 is definitely better than ver 1. having said that, i would have preferred the new version to be a bit bigger - taller, and deeper, and with stiff internal padded dividers so that i can pack things in a bit better. as the owner of the city sling 1, would not upgrade. mostly because my sling still works very fine, and i have more bags than stuff to put in them.

[@RushfasterTV]

Cheers for the insights! - Ed

[@sagargurung6200]

I think that's where the aer day sling comes.

[@DennisLimCY]

@@sagargurung6200 but the day sling does not serve my needs as compared to the city sling. when i say bigger, i am talking about 1cm or half-inch taller and wider. it will give people who own the city sling a reason/excuse to buy it again. the current changes to v2 are great, but without changes in capacity, and v1 being a great working condition, it is hard to justify an additional purchase.

[@shiveringisles3509]

@@DennisLimCY v1 and v2 is so different though, v1 is more sleek/slim and with the thick strap it wraps around more closely to your body, it is better for mobility especially if running or if you want to wear it underneath a jacket because it can be almost very flat to your body if you don't fill it fully, the downside is capacity and the strap keepers, some also don't like the huge buckle or thick straps. v2 isn't as flat even when empty but the upside it is bigger, the increase is quite sizable if you look at comparisons and any more increase would make it too close to Day Sling 3 at 3L. On the downside filling these slings, whether v1 or v2 makes it look bulky / boxy and cumbersome, and something more roomy would be better. v2 features like tucking in strap, aluminum keepers and fidlock/thinner strap isn't that exciting, but it is the size that is the biggest difference.

[@shersurewin]

Should I go with this or wait for Day sling 3?

[@RushfasterTV]

Hey Sherwin! You can't go wrong with any of those 2, I guess it all boils down to aesthetics and which one you prefer more :) - John

[@shersurewin]

@@RushfasterTV thank you! I actually just went with this and in Xpac Version.

[@davidrauche5592]

Great review. When is AER going to realize that nobody really likes those loud jangling zipper pulls. I wish they would get rid of it for something more practical and silent. Other then that, it’s nearly perfect.

[@RushfasterTV]

Hahahaha they might not ever! - Ed

[@cedricdumaran5088]

Put some wd-40 on it and you'll be fine

[@andyibanezk]

Are the only differences between the standard and X-PAC version purely aesthetic? I generally prefer to buy more expensive products because I associate them to durability, but I just can't stand that bright orange color.

[@JustizzzleFASHO]

The xpac material is lighter, and more water-proof believe

[@lulu8lala8haha]

I can’t believe they don’t have padded strap. My shoulder won’t like it.

[@OptimusMonk01]

Bought some Aer items before, but they're always junk, end up having to return them.

[@RushfasterTV]

What about them don't you like? Curious to know! - Ed
