The pack you take when you decide to quit your job and join a traveling circus? Why not?īefore we jump into the review, we want to note that we’ve been testing a limited edition of the Aer Fit Pack 2 that’s no longer available. A minimal travel pack for short trips? Sure. And it’s performed really well.īut you can always be a rebel and use this pack for whatever else. We’ve been testing the Aer Fit Pack 2 as intended for the past month, taking it from work straight to the gym. No more trying to shove your gym clothes and shoes into an EDC backpack. No more trying to make a duffle work for your laptop and tech gear. The Aer Fit Pack 2 has been designed to be part gym bag, part laptop bag. Plus, it gives you one less excuse to skip gym days - take that as you will.If you’ve got your life together and visit the gym/boxing ring/yoga studio/trail/favorite place to exercise either before or after work, then you have come to the right review. Everything else will be waiting for you when you get home. As long as you stick to that, all your essentials will follow you wherever your day takes you. Since it’s meant to carry just the essentials, it pushes you to think about what you’ll absolutely need to take with you. It’s a pretty lean backpack, so you won’t be able to totally stuff it, but there’s some comfort to be found in that. The bag costs $135, which is well worth it if you’re a frequent gym-goer. There’s a buckle you can snap across your chest, which kept my bag from flopping around on the few days I had to book it to catch my train.
The bag’s back and shoulder straps are lined with padded mesh which keep the bag from feeling uncomfortable, even during my longest treks. My commute takes about an hour each way, and I usually walk between two and three miles per day. Even with all of that, the bag never felt cumbersome, and I’ve been able to confidently leave my house every day without worrying that I left something behind. I usually carry my laptop, a few notebooks, my Kindle, laptop and phone chargers, a battery pack, bundles of pens, a pair of sunglasses, a water bottle, my workout gear, and a tupperware container for my lunch. For anything you grab frequently, like your wallet, earbuds, or keys, there’s a quick-access pocket on the top for those grab-and-go moments.Īer’s ability to make room for all of this while maintaining a slim and lightweight package is impressive. The main compartment is loaded with pockets for all your accessories, and there’s a padded laptop sleeve to protect it from any bumps or drops. It’s even water-resistant, so all your gadgets can be tucked away and kept safe from the rain. Aer’s made all of the compartments bigger, added more pockets for better organization, and changed the padding so it’s more comfortable to carry across town. It has all the same features that made its predecessor a solid bag, but it’s got plenty of new features to make it a worthy upgrade. This single backpack keeps those two worlds apart thanks to a clever system of pockets. It’s meant for commuters who bounce between work and the gym and don’t want the hassle of carrying around two bags.
The Aer Fit Pack 2, part of the company’s latest Active collection, delivers on that promise in a stylish and thoughtful package. Aer understands those inconveniences, which is why its backpacks are designed to keep everything you need tucked away so you’re ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Ten minutes later, inevitably, you realize you left something important at home and you can’t go back. You’re running late for work, so you dash out of the house in a desperate attempt to make it on time.
