There is a loop for attachments on both sides of the zipper, although it will disrupt the stealthy exterior should you use them. The only exception is the white Aer logo on the left shoulder strap and the bottom-right of the backpack's front.ĭetails like the little loop to organize excess shoulder and sternum strap, little touches help keep the silhouette clean and modern.įrom the front, you can see a single zipper going across the middle. It comes only in black which is consistently applied throughout the bag, from the fabric to hardware. Even though their materials aren't unique, you can look at an Aer bag and know it's by the San Francisco label. For a brand that designs minimalist backpacks, it never fails to surprise me how distinct Aer's products are. Out of all the brands of backpacks, Aer backpacks are, without a doubt, the best-looking in my books. They have a City Sling and City Messenger, so I can only assume that the City Pack completes the trinity and sets them up for a City collection. Each product line is purpose-driven, and the designs stay in lane. On the contrary, it's designed to be the best at just that one use.Ĭurrently, Aer has three lines: work, active, and travel. The City Pack doesn't try to do too many things at once. This is why the Aer City Pack makes sense for me. With backpacks like the TOM BIHN Techonaut 35, GORUCK GR1, and Aer's own Travel Pack 2 ruling realm of backpacks that you can travel and work with, the demand for such bags came to an abrupt halt with the pandemic. In fact, they can be considered the norm. These days, multi-purpose backpacks aren't too radical.

Like many backpack brands, Aer started in 2014 as a crowdfunding project with a radical idea–to combine a gym bag and an office bag into one simplified design. Materials 1680d Cordura ballistic nylon, YKK zippers, Duraflex hardware.This backpack sits squarely in the everyday carry space and attempts to be the very best at it. This line is for those who hate the in-between and needs no ambiguity if a backpack is used for travel or everyday carry. With an Active, Travel, and Work collection, it seems inevitable for Aer to establish a “City” line with this bag.
