![]() ![]() Aer Go Pack 2 | The pack nicely slides into the Aer Travel Pack 3. The Travel Pack 3 has more than enough room to hold the Go Pack 2, and it doesn’t feel like you’re losing a drastic percentage of space inside the pack to do so. Aer designs some of our top-rated travel gear, so we figured we’d see how well it fits into some of our favorite bags. There isn’t a closure on the top, so the gear on the top may get wet when it rains.Īer mentions that the Go Pack 2 can stow away inside a larger travel bag or piece of luggage. It’s an excellent spot for a rain jacket, sweatshirt, or other weather-related gear you might need quickly. There’s a slide pocket on the front of the pack that we briefly mentioned earlier when speaking about the Woojin magnetic buckle that secures it. Aer Go Pack 2 | The luggage pass-through is easy to use. ![]() The pack is so small that you can stow it inside your carry-on or packed luggage on the way to your destination, and the inclusion of a pass-through makes it easy to fill the bag with trinkets and set it on top of your rolling luggage on the way home. It’s very basic, but it gets the job done and has a simplicity we can’t help but appreciate. There’s a luggage pass-through on the back side of the pack. You can address this by zipping it closed to the other side, though it’s easy to forget, and you can’t get around it as easily if you have two water bottles. Also, it’s worth noting that if you are using a big bottle (go you, hydration rocks!) and the zippers are on that side of the main compartment, it can be hard to grab onto the Hypalon pulls, as they get buried between the bottle and the side of the pack. It can hold a 32 oz Nalgene, which is pretty large, but still feels tight when holding a smaller bottle, which is a testament to the stretchiness of the elastic. ![]() They’re crafted from the same crinkle nylon material as the rest of the pack and have a small piece of elastic to hold onto the bottle. We’re excited about the dual water bottle pockets-one on each side of the bag. Aer Go Pack 2 | No issue fitting larger bottles inside. This is the only carry method we noticed this issue, and it’s more of a ‘that’s weird’ moment than an actual problem. If you have heavy items at the bottom of the pack and grab onto the handle, the bag can look a little stretched out from top to bottom. The top handle has a little padding, making it comfortable to grab onto. It’s quicker and easier to pop open, however, it stays closed when not in use-it’s the best of both worlds. A magnetic Woojin buckle on the front slide pocket works better than the previous iteration’s FIDLOCK counterpart. There are YKK zippers and Duraflex adjustment hardware throughout the pack, which work just as well as we’d expect them to. Aer Go Pack 2 | This is a great pack for traveling. It feels sleeker and can blend into any environment, whether you’re using it as a daypack to cross a new city or want something other than your travel backpack to lug around on your trip. The last iteration lacked a sustainability accreditation and was a higher denier, though we like the fresh new look presented here. The primary pack material on the Go Pack 2 is a bluesign® approved 210D Cordura crinkle nylon. We still dig the original Go Pack but can’t help but wonder whether these updates will transform the series into something completely different. ![]() Still, we see enough noticeable differences to wonder how they’ll affect usage and our ability to stow gear. The Aer Go Pack 2 isn’t a complete overhaul of the previous iteration. ![]()
