I just used this same bag for the first time during my most recent trip. It passed the test with flying colors. That orange interior is so LOVELY. When I got to my plane seat, I rested the backpack vertically to take my headphones and iPad out, and just at that moment one flight attendant passed by and gave me "a look" and suggested, "That backpack might be too large to keep under the seat". But I proceeded to push it and when he saw it fitted comfortably it was all okay. I didn't fill it to the brim, and having some spare space for snacks was nice. I'm a small-framed woman of only 5 feet and in comparison with my other backpacks, this one felt a little boxy and bulky but the harness system made it extremely comfortable to carry

@OneBagTravels7 ай бұрын
@@str8upbeeno753 Probably technically it would fit under a lot of airplane seats, and I've heard people say it does. The problem with that is the airline doesn't actually care if your bag fits under the seat, they care if it fits in their sizer box. If not they may make you check it, or charege you extra at the gate. Also the size of space under seats varies widely depending on the model of aircraft, the seating configuration, and which seat you are in. I started taking pictures to show some of the differences. For example the flight I was just on yesterday, the aisle seat space was much smaller than the middle seat. For me it's better to choose a bag based on the airlines listed personal item size dimensions, if it fits under the seat great, if not just put it in the overhead.

I'm curious why horizontal (I assume this is what you meant since horizontal is side to side, not top to bottom) oriented luggage pass through is rare to see across most brands. It may likely be because by being horizontal, it would be too tall and it may be very uncomfortable or bothersome while trying to hold on the luggage handle? Especially since height of luggage handles differ, I think they make this for "one size fits all" aspect to ensure it does not bother luggage handle heights.

The main packing compartment in the Aion appears to be larger, the bag is lighter, and the TPU divider gives you a separate laptop compartment if you need it. At the size, the bag is more than comfortable enough to accommodate the load you're likely going to be carrying. Certainly, the AER is the more professional looking and robust pack.

Something I wonder, just a backpacking philosophy, if a pack this small cannot be used as a personal item, why not bring a 40 L backpack and have space to bring things home? There is not much weight difference between this pack and say the Osprey Farpoint. It seems practical to pack small/light and have extra space with a larger pack, and have room for purchases while traveling. There are so few premium options that truly fit personal item dimensions, I don't understand why the big companies are not supporting that niche...

Question: were the packing peanuts in all 3 of the compartments? I’d be shocked if the main compartment was truly 28L. I had one for about a year. It was just too heavy and overbuilt for me. I don’t travel with a laptop so the laptop compartment is just added weight and robbed capacity. The XPac fabric has literally no stretch so once the bag reaches capacity all the compartments and zippers start feeling very tight. The front slash pocket basically becomes unusable. Too many small pockets I never could fill them all so again wasted added weight and robbed capacity. Water bottle pocket was also very tight. Also the zipper pulls could get annoying. They always seemed to catch on the other zipper lines. I did love the overall aesthetics and materials but in practice the bag was just too heavy, tight, and somewhat fussy. I’d really like see an Evergoods CTB26 review video.

Yes, I put peanuts in the front pockets too. They stick out enough that they have a little of their own volume. Some bags will push into the exterior pockets when you pack the main compartment fully. This one does too, but there is still room in those pockets so I needed to pack them with peanuts. It would be interesting to compare the X-Pac vs Cordura because of the stretch factor.

Aer doesn't say anything about being waterproof and they actually sell a rain cover for the Travel Pack. The X-Pac fabrics use waterproof fabric, and water resistant zippers, so I'd say this is a highly water resistand pack, but definitely not water proof. You could get away without the rain cover here for most uses. But for the Cordura packs they don't even use DWR or any other water proof coating, so at best they are only water resistant because the fabric is rather thick so it takes longer to soak in.

Probably eventually. I'm not really sure what the deal with that bag is, it looks just like the Travel Pack, but with more small pockets on the front? Maybe a comparison would be good.

@@OneBagTravelsYou are correct they are very similar bags. Plenty people out there who I know would kill for a comparison video between the City Pack Pro & Travel Pack 3 Small (both in X-Pac).

I'd love to see that video too. I keep looking but cannot find anyone who has done a compare. I bought the city pack pro but the capacity seems small. Trying to decide if it's worth risking possibly being over the personal item size for more capacity here. Would love to see what you can pack in 1 vs the other.

What is the weight of this one? Aer website says the same as the non x pac one but I read this one is lighter.
@OneBagTravels8 ай бұрын
They list the Cordura bag as 3.79 lbs and the X-pac version at 3.63 lbs. But on my scale the X-Pac is 3.74 lbs. I don't have the Cordura version to compare though.

Thank you.

I’m still torn between a premium purchase like the aer tp3 small or a cheaper option like the Osprey farpoint 40. Weight isn’t a deciding factor. Any thoughts?

@geep85918 ай бұрын
Comfort whilst wearing, quality of the material, different storage options for 1 week travel. And has to meet UK/EU cabin sizes (I'm EU based). I’m veering towards the Aer TP3 Small…For me the Osprey looks more of an outdoors type backpack whilst the Aer looks more minimalist and all round better 😊

They seem like really good packs, but please for the love of God give them some character next time. So many travel bags are ultra boring. I realize that some people want to blend in, but a little bit of character never hurt.

This has always been the iconic "Aer" style, largely unchanged since their first model. They have some other packs with a bit more flair, but overall I think this is basically their vibe

Aer has always had a minimalist external design language with their trademark being the large aquaguard zippers. I don’t think they’ll deviate anytime soon. There’s always Cotopaxi if you want more character for a bag.
