Aer, a company that has been creating functional and stylish bags since 2014, has once again impressed with their Aer Day Pack 2. This backpack is part of Aer's Work Collection and is designed to be the perfect companion for both your office and gym needs. After testing this bag for two weeks, we are excited to share our thoughts on its features and performance.
Fit Notes
Our team members, AJ and Riley, have differing experiences with the fit of the Aer Day Pack 2. AJ, with a height of 5 ft 8 in and a torso length of 17 in, found that the bag tends to hover away from the back, creating gaps at the bottom. Adjusting the bag looser improved the fit but resulted in a lower carrying position than desired. Riley, who is 5 ft 4 in with a torso length of 16.5 in, had to cinch the straps tightly to achieve comfort, but this caused the shoulder straps to dig in.
Materials & Aesthetic
The Aer Day Pack 2, available in Black, features a sleek and minimalistic design. The bag is made with durable materials, including an 840D nylon face with a PU coating for water-resistance and 1680D CORDURA ballistic nylon. The Aer logo is discreetly placed on the bag, maintaining its clean aesthetic. The YKK zippers on this bag are smooth and reliable.
External Components
The shoulder straps of the Aer Day Pack 2 provide adequate padding for a backpack of this size. The mesh lining adds breathability but can become warm on hot days. The sternum strap is comfortable and adjustable, while the back panel is padded and has a channel for airflow. The bag also features a luggage pass-through strap, making it convenient for travelers.
Inside The Pack
The Aer Day Pack 2 offers various compartments for efficient organization. At the top of the bag, there is a zippered quick-grab pocket lined with a soft fabric to protect delicate items. The front compartment, reminiscent of other Aer bags, features a zippered pocket for keys, liner pockets for accessories, and additional mesh pockets. The main compartment has a suspended laptop sleeve with a false bottom for added protection. There are also pockets for small items and enough space for a jacket or other essentials.
Durability
We are pleased to report that the Aer Day Pack 2 has shown excellent durability during our testing. The bag is made with high-quality materials and has withstood regular use without any signs of wear and tear.
In conclusion, the Aer Day Pack 2 is a stylish backpack that excels in functionality. While the fit may vary depending on individual preferences and body types, the bag offers exceptional organization and durability. Whether you're heading to the office or the gym, the Aer Day Pack 2 is a reliable companion for your everyday needs.
