This company is very, very highly regarded among "backpackers". Go to the OneBagger subreddit and look up reviews and posts — AER is considered one of the very best designers of backpacks / travel bags around. You can also check YouTube where you'll see they have a cult following and are quite consistently ranked as some of the best bags you can buy. The Travel Pack was voted #1 by a large publication too (I forget, I think it was Men's Health or GQ or something).
The materials they use are top notch and will last you many, many years. I watched a YouTube review where the guy said he dragged his back across the pavement in a city to test the durability and it didn't have a single scratch. It's made with materials used in bulletproof vests I believe. Extremely high quality and well designed, and again, just look up any YouTube breakdowns to see the level of love AER gets.

I've been going back and forward between the city pack and city pack pro.
Buy once, cry once.

As for the tech side, the fit 3 does have a better laptop compartment. It opens all the way were the duffel only does the 3/4 zip and eliminated one of the pouches on the inside. The fit also has an extra notebook compartment were the duffel does not. Both fit my macbook, a notebook and some cords no problem.

Do you like carrying the duffel pack around the gym? I was thinking of getting one for weekend travel but am torn between that or the Weekender duffel bag or even the City Pro backpack.
In terms of the water bottle holder for the Fit Pack 3…it actually has two, one on each side. There are flaps on the side. You pull them out and the water bottle inserts very nicely. It doesn't hold massive flasks but I think they said it goes up to 20oz or maybe 24oz, I forget.

For those that are wondering, quality materials and functionality without compromising design are the prime reason people buy aer products.

I do use this bag as an overnighter and it works really well. I am a huge fan of packing cubs and if you pair the two together you can get a ton of stuff in the front zip.
In addition to the two water bottle holders, I have one of those ninja's for my protein shakes and it holds those large tumblers just fine. You also get two zip pockets above the water bottle holders.
