“This is a very versatile backpack because of the fully opening compartment to store anything from camera gear pouches, clothes, baby care items or whatever you need. There are also sufficient pockets for edc items (keys, wallet, phone, stationery, laptop etc).
The deceptively light weight (under 1.3kg) and its sturdy, robust yet breathable construction made it a no brainer purchase decision. I was looking at the nomatic backpacks but they are literally more than double the weight. I also much prefer this over the peak design backpacks as the straps are way more comfortable for me and there is room to stretch and fill this backpack to the limits (the peak design is good but i had issues with my laptop getting crushed when packed full. This was evident by my keyboard marking the laptop screen).
My wife has the 20L version of this bag in the green colour way (hopefully will be stocked at rushfaster) and it is awesome as well and the size suits her 5’3 frame better.
The only one negative (personal preference) is i find the bag rests a touch too low on my shoulders. This is after using it for 24hr+ trips and 12hr carry days so just a minor point and it wasn’t uncomfortable. Love the bag and looking forward to many years of use.
I packed the following easily:
- sony ff body
- 2 x zoom lenses (one being a 70-200)
- macbook pro 14”
- airpods max
- ipad mini
- ps5 controller
- edc stuff
- spare change of clothes (shirt, shorts)
- drink bottle
- small tripod”
Amazing review! Happy to know you're both enjoying your Aer backpacks. And yes, we have the Aer 16" Go Pack 2- 20L (Green / Olive) back in stock now. Thanks and have a great day! - Katreen
