I put together a side-by-side comparison of the ALPAKA Traverse Backpack Astral Limited Edition in X-Pac UVX40 against the AER TP4 28L in Ultra. The video covers materials, carry comfort, layout, and how both bags compare in actual use for travel and daily carry.
Quick first look at the new ALPAKA Flow Satchel 10L. Clean design, compact size, and whether it seems useful for everyday carry and travel.
I put together a side-by-side comparison of the LEVEL8 Voyageur 28" checked luggage and the LEVEL8 Luminous Textured Large Trunk 28". I looked at build quality, design, packing layout, rolling comfort, and overall practicality to see how they compare in real use.
Sharing it here in case it helps anyone deciding between the two. Would be interested to hear what people think of each model and which one you’d choose for travel.
I compared the three material options for the Aer Day Sling 4: ULTRA, X-PAC, and Cordura Blue. The video covers the main differences in feel, appearance, and aging, and it should also help if you’re trying to choose between these materials for other AER bags.
I tested the ALPAKA Flight Sling Pro and was especially curious about the hidden bottle / umbrella pocket underneath. Shared my full thoughts in this video for anyone interested.
What do you think about that under-bag pocket design?
I just finished testing the LEVEL8 Voyageur 28" checked luggage and wanted to share a hands-on review with the community. I went through the build, design, packing layout, and real-world travel usability to see how it performs as a premium checked suitcase.
Would love to hear what you think about the Voyager line : especially if you’ve used it for longer trips or have compared it with other premium checked luggage options.
Flew 2 flights with the AER City Pack Pro 2 20L Ultra on an A320 and A220. Fits perfectly under the seat. 👍
Works incredibly well for European flights as a one bag travel. ✈️

Hey all ! I put together a comparison video between the AER Day Sling 3 and Day Sling 4 since I know a lot of people are probably wondering whether the new one is actually worth the upgrade.
I tried to keep it practical and focused on the stuff that matters most: carry comfort, organization, sizing, and whether it makes more sense to grab the newer model or save a bit and go with the older one.
If you’re considering either of these, hopefully it helps.
Would be interested to hear what choice you’d make between the two.
I made a comparison video between the Aer Travel Pack 4 28L Ultra and the Travel Pack 3 Small Ultra. I focused on fit, organization, comfort, and the real-world differences between the two bags.
I kept it as straightforward as possible for people trying to decide between these two Aer models.
What do you think : is the TP4 28L an improvement over the TP3 Small Ultra?
I’ve seen a lot of questions lately about how the new Aer packs actually compare in size and real-world utility, so I decided to put the 2026 lineup side-by-side to see how they scale.
I tested the Travel Pack 4 (35L & 28L), City Pack Pro 2 (24L & 20L), and the City Pack 2 (16L) to show the jump in dimensions and internal volume.
The goal was simple:
Fit Test: Seeing how these look on-body to get a sense of scale.
Packout Test: Using identical gear (standard Peak Design packing cubes: M+S and an Owala 24oz bottle) to show exactly what fits in each.
I put together a quick video to show the visual differences, no fluff : just the fit and the packing capabilities.
If you’re currently stuck between the 20L and 24L, or wondering if the 35L is overkill for your travel needs, hopefully, this makes it easier to decide.
For those who have already pulled the trigger on one of these : how are you finding the capacity vs. the carry profile? Would love to hear if your experience matches my testing!
I feel like this video could help anyone deciding on their next backpack, especially if you’re torn between the AER City Pack Pro 2 Ultra 20L and 24L.
I compare the 20L with the CPP1 and the CPP2 24L after long-term use, and talk through fit, layout, what it carries well, and whether the 20L feels like the better choice for daily use.
What stood out most to me is the return of the side pocket from the CPP1, combined with the more refined structure of the CPP2. That mix is what makes this one interesting to me, and honestly it might be my favorite AER backpack so far.
Would love to hear what others think about the 20L vs 24L choice.
