Love the reviews, and the format of the videos from NN. You guys kill it. Would love to see some more reviews on bags specifically made for women in the future, like Dagne Dover bags, etc.
I own this pack, and after a year. Some things to note over a period of time: CONS - It's heavy (I'm a dude), the 1.08 KG does feel heavy for an EDC, and if you live in a warm weather country, it can feel like a burden. - It doesn't really stand (or it did, initially), vertically it falls down like any other when packed unless you pack it very bottom heavy. - The design being a bit of a shell doesn't fit most outfits well. When I dress casual, I always look like I'm up to something serious , and when I dress light formal (Polo), this feels too serious and utilitarian to fit well with outfit. If you're someone who dresses a bit more utilitarian (i.e. Carhartt Style) this would work well for you. PROS - Sturdy, very well made, hangs on my back like a tank, takes a beating without bruising - Shell material easy to clean - 2 day trip proof, I can pack 2 days worth of clothes, slippers, my laptop, chargers, and a bottle, pretty easily - Works versatile for work or travel, you can even pack a packable backpack inside and use this as a 'luggage' Overall: You can pack a proper pack in, but the weight when completely packed can give your back a beating. I could carry it 1-2 hours fine, so if you're transiting it is okay. If you want this as your EDC, it can work but I would go against packing it to the brim unless you're travelling and can throw it onto a plane/car/etc. Does it bring me joy?: Yes, it does especially when I'm travelling for a weekend trip, I'm amazed by how well it packs and for that reason I'm unwilling to sell it, but I would choose a lighter weight like a bellroy for EDC because I do not need a tank for work. Alternatively: I think there is a pro slim version that might be better for EDC.
Your videos are SO helpful! Way to fill a market niche. Would love to know - as a woman, is this style better for our shoulder style than say the City Pack Pro? I'm tossing up between the City Pack Pro and the Pro Pack 24L - I want the larger capacity for travel etc. Ive heard the CPP is super comfortable (and your video said that too) but am wondering - do you think the closer-spaced straps of the Pro Pack are better for a woman's body? I'm 5'7" and average/slim build - so don't know what to do! Heavily leaning to City Pack Pro but having doubts
Awww thank you that's so nice!!🥹 So honestly the Aer City Pack Pro is very comfortable forsure and has great capacity, yer it can get a bit heavy on the shoulders because of the thicker padding and materials. But if you're 5'7 i think it will be a really great fit on you! I would pick the CPP over the pro pack for your needs i think!
Agree with the above comment, finally someone doing this for the ladies. And kudos to another HKie. So, im looking for a Personal Item bag for travel to supplement a mini roller. I like the Aer Pro Pack and also the Bellroy Transit Workpack. Which one would you suggest? BTWP, APP20L or APP24L? Around 5.1 here.
This looks interesting, but the padding seems overkill😅. Good fit and length - speaking from someone of your same height 😂 I will check out the smaller 14L. Cheers!
Do you think this bag is worth the price? Let me know in the comments below!⬇
Finally a channel for the ladies who love gear and backpacks!
I got you!! 🫶

WOW! Very in depth thank you those are all great points to know about having the bag for a longer period of time!

Also I like that your using different color packs gives a great idea of what they look like nice touch GG’s❤
Thank you! Gotta show off different styles and colors!
I have a ton of backpacks this is my favorite by far
Honestly it's such a solid backpack!
I just ordered one of these in black yesterday, but now I'm kinda wishing I went with the green!
the green is so nice but you can never go wrong with a classic black backpack!
Thanks for the review. Pulled the trigger for it as my new EDC Bag!
Yes!!! So glad this helped you decide! It’s a great bag 👍

I think the Aer Pro Pack 20L is such a great personal item!
Glad Marisa is back
Glad to be back! :)

The fit is perrrrfect for our size! And if you enjoy comfort that padding is amazing!
I think this back pack was seen on the new argyle film in the train fighting scene 😊
No way?!
Is Aaron from nomad nation your brother? Because you act and look a female version of him
Hahah yes he is my brother! Good eye
😂 it's a little weird
You should call it a “bad girl” for girl gear.
Didn't know if that sounded too sexual or not lol 😂
Looks basic and boring
Interesting observation, it is a great bag tho!
