AliExpress. Type in AER. Half the price and factory perfect. The bags from AER are made in China. Probably factory overruns made with same exact material and specs. Get them while they are available. Included CPP, day sling 3, and Day sling 3 max and others. Xpac.
Don't have to hate, it's just a suggestion if someone can't afford to buy direct. I usually say support the company but these are literally made in China and people are still making a profit selling them half price so AER is pricing them a little too high. I've also bought bags from them direct to support the business, just not all of them. I couldn't tell a single difference in bags.
I own the Tech Pack 2 and it's probably my favorite travel tech bag. It can hold a lot with all it's compartments. My one and only complaint is that the bag cannot stand upright on it's own, empty or full. Small gripe but if anyone cares about that, just fyi.

Dammit I want the Tech Pack but I literally have like 30 backpacks. Just got the Nomatic travel pack and used it on a couple trips and it was fantastic, feel bad cheating on my Peak Design with it bit it's superior to anything for travel. Still want that Aer though. 🤔
Are these actually any better than Ebags or Samsonite?
The one bag looks like a somsonite rebranded almost.
I own both and other than AER's xpac, no the difference is not so great as to be worth 7x the price. IMO. I have a lot of experience with packs but I'm far from a pack expert. Or paxpert.

Thanks for your input. Do you mean Aer xpac has much higher quality then other Aer packs? Thanks.

What you're paying for is material quality, comfort/ergonomics, and thoughtful design (padded AND suspended laptop pocket, etc.)
