Patagonia Black Hole 25L Travel Pack vs Aer Travel Pack 2

As you can see, that's a pretty decent size, so i'll pop that down there as well and yeah 25 liters decent size of a bag. You know i've you can, if yo...

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...

The backpack has a false bottom in the laptop compartment, meaning that the sleeve is stitched slightly above the actual bottom of the backpack. The l...

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

Attached to the shoulder straps is a standard sternum strap that can be positioned on one of five loops, depending on wherever it best supports you and the weight you’re carrying. This bag holds about 25L of gear, which makes it more of an in-between size, meaning you may or may not find this sternum strap necessary—either way, it’s there if you need it, and we’ve found it to improve the overall carry during our testing.

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

I'll show you how I've loaded it out, walk through all the features that it has, and I'll also talk about how it compares to some of the other similar...

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

So what I think we'll do is in here. So in this top part up here, I'm just gonna put the knife. it's just gonna allow for simplicity. you know, maybe ...

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

if you're commuting, this fits up to a 15 inch laptop. This is my 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina and it fits in with space to spare so plenty of space for...

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.

The best part is once you pull the water bottles up, they sit flush against the pack. The top mounted reinforced hull handle makes it easy to carry th...

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