My subjective take: I prefer the Aer Go Pack 2. Less noisy/crinkly, better zipper pullers, and a bit better organisation options esp. in the main compartment. More objectively, this Tortuga looks to be a great day pack, the one issue that popped out to me is the lack of luggage pass through. Not a deal breaker necessarily but a surprising miss for something that would work so well as a personal item.
I prefer the Aer too. The lack of luggage pass through on this Tortuga, while not a deal breaker, is a surprising miss for something that works so well as a personal item
Glad I finally found a great backpack review channel! Subscribed. Thanks for describing the laptop compartment. Any recommendations for a rolling laptop backpack? I need the lightest possible. It would be rolled 90% of the time, carried 10%. Thx.
For a daypack, it seems large and too much sag if not packed out. I need a daypack but struggle with best bag. The AER Go Pack 2 is great but also sags a little. It will be a Bellroy Transit or Aer Day Pack most likely. I will pass on Tortuga Daypack. Great review. Thanks.

Thanks for the nice review. This bag great features & good compromises. I don’t think you really considered what it delivers at 1 pound
Personally, I think the Aer Go Pack 2 is a better fit for my needs.
There are a few features in the Aer Go Pack that probably make it a bit better. But this one is easily a competitor.

You should make a comparison video between ihis and the Tortuga Packable Daypack
Weird. My.comment has gone.
I just said I think it looks a bit shiny and cheap, not £125 worth.
I'd rather an Osprey Daylite Plus.

Daypacks sag, I have a different one and the light rip stop just sags.
This bag seems really nice.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
