![]() We love that the Aer Flight Pack 3 can be used as a daily commuter’s backpack or it can be converted into a duffel bag or briefcase for a business trip or weekend getaway. The laptop sleeve is just a slip pocket in the main compartment. The Details: 13 x 11.6 x 5.5 inches | 2.6 pounds | Leather | 13-inch laptop pocket Since the backpack is smaller and lightweight, this isn’t a huge issue and we still think the high-quality backpack is worth it for traveling, commuting, and everyday use. The leather material has a soft and plush feel to it which makes carrying the bag comfortable but we wish the straps were a little shorter since the bag sits a little low on the back. While we love the size for versatility, it still has plenty of thoughtful features for travelers like a pocket for a wireless charger ( sold separately) and several interior pockets for storing accessories. It can easily fit a laptop, water bottle, wallet, notebook, and headphones with plenty of room left over. ![]() ![]() It’s big enough to fit a laptop up to 13 inches long but it’s small enough that it can be used beyond traveling or commuting for everyday activities like running errands. The straps are a bit too long, even when they are adjusted to the shortest setting.Ĭonstructed with soft and sleek Italian leather, this mid-sized backpack has the perfect combination of style and functionality. The Details: 17.6 liters | 16.5 x 11.8 x 5.5 inches | 3.3 pounds | Recycled polyester | 16-inch laptop pocket The design and materials of the bag feel exceptionally durable and the only issue we ran into was with the zipper being slightly difficult to find because of the fabric hood that covers the main zipper. There are the ideal amount of small and medium-sized pockets sprinkled throughout the interior and exterior so it’s easy to pack a sweatshirt, book, phone charger, keys, and more for a trip. The back panel and shoulder straps have lifejacket-level padding so you’ll be plenty comfortable wearing the bag for long periods of time and your laptop will be thoroughly protected thanks to the cushioned pocket in the back. While we’re big fans of the sustainability of the bag, it’s also extremely comfortable to wear and looks very sleek from the outside. Not only is the bag made with 100 percent recycled fabric but when it’s no longer able to be used, it can actually be recycled instead of going into a landfill. This backpack from Troubadour is one of the most unique backpacks we’ve ever tested. The main zipper has a fabric trim over it which makes it difficult to open and close the bag. The Details: 18 x 13 x 7 inches | 1.43 pounds | Recycled PET polyester | 15.6-inch laptop pocket | USB port While it’s not the most stylish backpack on the market, its functional and simple design makes it well worth it. The zippers also impressed us by being super smooth even when the bag was packed to the brim. All of the contents packed appeared to be in their original condition so we feel confident in this backpack’s protective abilities. Made with recycled polyester, the backpack performed perfectly during our durability tests and didn’t sustain any scuffs or scratches after we tossed it onto the ground several times. Even when we had the bag packed full of accessories and clothing, it felt nearly weightless and exceptionally comfortable to carry thanks to the padded and adjustable shoulder straps. The 15.6-inch laptop pocket in the back is fully padded and the bag also has an external USB port and a headphone port for traveling seamlessly with electronic devices. At first glance, the bag looks like a normal-sized backpack but it has a deceptively large interior with plenty of pockets to store both big and small items. Solo’s Re:Define Backpack is equipped with everything a traveler or commuter needs for long days away from home. It appeals to me more than any other AER bag.It’s not the most stylish backpack we tested. I already have a couple slim packs, so picking these up would definitely be a luxury. ![]() The City Pack definitely looks bulkier on the back than the Dashpack. The water pocket looks nice, but I can't tell if it actually holds more. Internal organization goes to the AER for those that prefer it, and the lighter interior definitely helps. The Dashpack is pretty well suited for pouches though, at least thin ones. It looks like a far tighter fit than the Dashpack. I really wonder how much space is actually available in this, especially if you put anything in the internal pockets. Half an inch deeper, but a lot more pockets. 14L is even smaller than the Dashpack and the Dashpack doesn't hold a lot. It seems like a big improvement over the Black Ember 22 if you are looking for something slim and/or something that will hold a 16" notebook. So basically it's the AER version of the Arktype Dashpack.
