I'm really happy with your review style and having that little timer in the corner which hasn't changed since the beginning, a brilliant unique touch! Glad to have followed you since near the beginning! Glad to see you guys doing well! You deserve it with your great reviews!! 👏🏼👏🏼

I'm surprised the Aer Travel Pack 3 wasn't a contender for large travel backpack or one bag travel option.

Love the video! I hope to see a comparison video of the aer tech sling 2 and 3!
Bummed Black Ember didnt make it anywhere in here, definitely my favorite!
Can't wait to get my hands on Fyro though... gonna be a killer bag!

I like these list type videos, I'm with you on that venture ready sling, I've tried a lot of slings and its definately my favorite small one. I also use a lot of single strap briefcase/messengers for everyday work commutes and also like a softer, less structured bag, feels nicer at ones side. One of the ones in my rotation similar to the aer is the Bellroy Via Work bag, its a nice light, simple brief.

I look forward to your backpack- and am waiting to buy- thanks for all the great reviews

This was a very fun video to watch, plus now I’ll link to watch the others. Thanks so much.
|
For the sling/messenger I love the ALPAKA bravo max sling . It’s so comfy even fully loaded and a perfect way to carry both MacBook Air 13+ iPad Pro 12.9+keyboard at the same time .
It’s very snuggly and unlike other big slings the weight is super distributed .
I just pimped it with wandrd pullers that you can purchase separately and are imho the best pullers ever !
Oh and I added a homemade 20cm elastic Leech where I attached a peak design anchor link to have blazing fast key holder access

Thanks for sharing, Aaron! I always like seeing what you have to say
My current line up:
Laptop Bag: Tom Bihn Side Kick... OK, this only works with a Surface Go 2, or a GPD Pocket 3... But if you use either of those, it's great... Also doubles pretty well as a tech pouch, or as a day sling
Tech Pouch: If not the Side Kick, then honestly just a good old fashioned Topo Designs Accessory Bag
Dopp Kit: Also the Topo Accessory
Daily Carry: I've also recently gotten into messengers... I can't decide between the Boundary Rennen Shoulder Bag (not the tote), or the Timbuk2 Classic... Hard to go wrong with custom options... These both do Laptop carry very well... Rennen maxes out around 13 inch devices, and the Timbuk2 has size options.
One Bag Travel: Tom Bihn Addax... Either size is just right, and the top loading aspect and the build quality address concerns about both zipper integrity and metro security.
Next bag I want: The Fyro... You got me hyped for it!

Wonderful video Aaron! Love the production quality, professionalism and polish! Congrats!
|
Looking forward to the Fyro!

As always, outstanding content and production. I really like how you offer a truly objective view of each product, and aren't afraid to make clear choices based on a really well argued, objective opinion. I especially liked your final 'Best One-Bag Travel Bag' category. Having watched all of your reviews over the past couple of years, I bought the Aer TP3, followed by the Minaal Carry-on 3.0, followed by the Able Carry Max. I completely agree with you that I narrowly prefer the Able Carry Max. Great content - keep up the great work
|
Right on choosing the Able Carry 13. The 2024 version is awesome and my EDC. Great video. Looking forward to the Fyro.
|
Amazing Video ! I’m looking forward to the bellroy adventure ready 2.5l sling review. Any changes it’s coming soon ?

Awesome Video. I agree the Able Cary 13 Backpack rocks. Modern Dayfarer backpack v2 looks like it can pack alot and not lose its slim look. The peak design everyday messenger may be the one for me to purchase this year 🔥
|
I'm looking at that tech pouch like daaaamn 😲😲👀👀 It can sit on my desk like it belongs there, and fold into travel mode. I love that!
|
I watch all the big name reviewers and like them all, Aaron. Who is my top reviewer for the year.....same as last year.......you! Thanks for all that you do, Aaron. This vid was one of your most entertaining, too. It put several smiles on my 6 a.m. face. Not east to do at all!
I liked all the bags that won your top honors (that I've seen or own) but my favorite overall bag that I use 200 or more days a year is the Defy Insideous jr. sling. It gives overbuilt a whole new level and looks as new now as day 1. The strap is so good on this one that I think I'd use this bag even if it didn't have a bag portion. It is that nice. It also gets a lot of compliments which I must admit I do like receiving.
|
have purchased several of the bags in this video and cant say i agree with any your choices for myself. the best combo for my travel is an aer travel 3 in 35L with the aer tech pouch and thule compression cubes, and the tomtoc explorer 7L sling.

Really love these head to head comparisons!
|
Got to give a shout out to my favorite backpack. The Alpacka travel pro bag is my top fave at the moment!
