There is not a fraction of this bag that seems as though it was overlooked. While the X-Pac is an exciting prospect for the fact that it’s waterproof, super-durable, and ultralight, it also makes the bag $20 more expensive and, honestly, most folks are going to be perfectly satisfied with ballistic nylon - which was originally developed for use in military body armor and is naturally abrasion-, and puncture-, and water-resistant (enough that your gear won’t get wet even if you’re out in a downpour for a short amount of time).Īs anyone familiar with the brand can tell you, Aer is quite adept at crafting bags and accessories that beautifully balance functionality and style. As the X-Pac option is a limited run, the bag we got our hands on was crafted from the former material, which is available year-round. It’s worth noting that the Aer Fit Pack 2 is actually available in two different fabrics - 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon and limited-edition X-Pac sailcloth. When empty, it does bunch up and can wrinkle a bit, but so do most other backpacks that serve a similar purpose - making this “gripe” (if you can call it that) more of an observation than anything else. However, the 18.8L of internal space is much more well-suited to EDC purposes than the larger offerings - at least for those who commute on public transportation or in cabs. It’s also quite small when compared to, say, the brand’s famed Duffel Pack and/or its larger travel-focused offerings.
Truly, it is not an exaggeration to say this is one of their best-looking bags. First ImpressionsĮven for those who are familiar with Aer’s other offerings, the Fit Pack 2 may seem exceptionally beautiful thanks to its sleek external silhouette, minimalist appointments, and subtle detailing. We got our hands on that very bag and took it to task for the following in-depth, hands-on review. By contrast, the folks at Aer have made that exact issue the centerpiece of their Fit Pack 2 - and they’ve executed a brilliant solution therein. Sadly, most EDC backpacks haven’t taken this fact into consideration. After all, most people don’t exercise in the same clothes they wear to the office and vice versa.
One of the harder things to manage in this always-moving-never-stopping world is getting into the gym on a regular basis. In fact, it means shaping the gear you carry with you to suit your hectic daily life. To everyday carry enthusiasts, that means more than simply coming up with a schedule. However, some of that issue can be mitigated with a bit of careful planning.
