I don't think the bag needs more inches, I think this and other bags drop in more layers of organization than is needed. Most of us are using cubes or tech pouches. I was looking at this and the Pacsafe and felt the same about both, I would like more space and less overly busy organizational features. Good review on pointing that out.

Welcome back! It was great to follow your adventure. I have been patiently waiting to hear your thoughts on this bag vs the Alpa…it looks pretty good but I’m sticking for now with the Alpa. Can’t wait to hear about the bags you brought back!! 😊

@MattViral Жыл бұрын

Nice to have you back! You look revitalized & ready to make more content. I love this bag as a weekender, bringing along a TB PCSB for daily carry, otherwise it doesn't get used much. My wife loved it for a 1 week trip, but she wears much smaller clothes. Onebagging just isn't my style I've learned & I'd rather bring a roller along with a smaller daypack for trips over 3 days. Different strokes for different folks.

I felt the same way that the Travel Pack 3 seemed small for travel. Similar bags like the away medium duffel I was able to fit more in. I like the set up of my AER city pack pro and wish they offered a larger version for travel.

Great review! I really like the look of this bag and the high quality materials. I'm going on a 2 week trip to Europe and flying on an airline with fairly strict carry-on bag dimension policies (55x40x20cm). I was interested in this Aer TP3 because of its relatively compact dimensions (even though it's a bit over the 7.9 in depth limit). However, your concerns about the size of the main compartment have me questioning whether it's the right bag for me. I'm also looking at Patagonia's redesigned Black Hole MLC 45L which, according to specs, is just within regulation size and theoretically has a higher capacity than this Aer bag. Have you considered checking it out?

I was hoping that this would be the replacement for my Tortuga Setout 35L, but I ordered one and found the same thing you did...it just felt like it ran out of space very quickly. I know they are both 35L on paper, but my Setout was able to comfortably pack the same loadout that was very tight in the Aer, and with seemingly lots of extra space for additional stuff. I really love Aer and there is a lot too love about this bag, it just seems like it packs on the small side of 35L (if that makes sense).

@@ThePerfectBag Thank you! Just ordered the Allpa 42l and hope it‘s the right one. I love the admin panel on my Aer City Pack, but I will bring a Day Sling 3 with me, so it feels a bit unnecessary on a Travel bag… the Tortuga Lite and the Pakt Travel v2 also look very interesting. Would you prefer on of these over the Allpa?

@franciscoferod1998 Жыл бұрын

Yes, it looks like it will hold a ton of stuff. But it doesn't. It is a pretty nice bag but it falls short in capacity. Have tried some other backpacks that are on paper 28L but can pack even more stuff

@tmac2705 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your review! I share similar thoughts after about 6 months with the bag. Just wish it fit a tad more but otherwise an amazing bag. The CTB35 fits more but the vertical laptop opening doesn’t work for me. If I had to do it over again, I may have gotten the Techonaut 30 or Able Carry Max since I hear they can fit just as much in the main compartment as the TP3.

14:30 Yes, I went through a few backpacks while I travelled through Europe and Asia, and I also realized that I preferred minimal Admin pouches. Fewer but larger dump pouches are overall more useful and space efficient than having multiple specialized pockets. Realistically, they just space out smaller knick-knack items that were better off being placed together.
