Aer Travel Pack 2 vs Osprey Talon 33

So really great, versatile size. And so, as I was testing the South, the first bag that this made me think of was the larger version of the travel pac...

* My pack (Osprey Talon 33) is getting worn. It would be good with something lighter and perhaps a bit larger. I can currently fit all my gear and rations for \~2 days. A bit more space for food would be welcomed

What I really don’t like is the shoulder straps. They are very uncomfortable. The side pockets are useless for holding water bottles. But I really hate the shoulder straps

They have lifetime warranties for fixing or replacing. A smart buy on a super well reviewed daypack.

This meant I could easily grab my xbox controller or a snack without having to hoist the bag up into my lap and open the whole thing. -Comfort: Its actually pretty comfortable to wear. I took a hike with this bag on (I know - probably not really what its designed for) - and it worked out perfect. The back is as padded/breathable as you could expect, and the front chest strap helped to keep the bag tight against my chest without all of the weight being squarely on my shoulders

It's usually between 100 and 140 quid and for a pack at that price, it should really come with a waterproof cover, which it doesn't so that's going to...

its a great comfortable laptop backpack with a shoe bag at base.

I have a Kanken 17 Laptop bag which I use for minimalist travel. It is great at being packable and lightweight. Dedicated laptop sleeve is nice as well. It isn't the most comfortable compared to something like an Osprey Talon, but it blends better in an urban enviroment

Amazing! The zippers are YKK...another reason that made me decide to purchase this backpack

Here on the belt, we have two zippered pockets loop zippers. This will fit my phone which happens to be the iPhone 7 plus and I was pretty impressed t...

Lastly, I understand the utility of having the cinch straps on the outside of the bag but why are SUCH a pain always having to snap and unsnap them just to unzip the bag. Really wish there was an alternative to this type of design. At the end of the day though, while not perfect, it’s by far the best bag I’ve found so far for long weekend trips. If you purchase this bag I suspect you’ll be very happy

so if you choose to put like tent poles in here, it's not going to poke holes through the nylon. The compression straps are nice, they can go on eithe...

I'd like to see another external pocket so I can have quick access to small electronics. I would also like to see a smaller version of this, maybe a 30-35L and have the height be less than 18" so that it can pass the Frontier Airlines' (and other low-cost carrier) personal bag restriction.

Here you can see the compression straps on the outside so you can compress everything right. Then you get a stretch mesh pocket on the front great for...
