Shout out to Aer
Trying something new - a short gratitude post.
I've spent countless hours optimizing my travel setup for multi-week trips, ~10 day vacations, and regular day trips around the city. In that process, I've tried A LOT of brands but always came back to Aer.
I have the carry on luggage, go pack, split kit (2x), gym tote, packing cubes (3x), travel kit (ultra), slim pouch (ultra), simple kit, and a maybe one more item. All of these items have performed exceptionally well. I can't recall having any issues with anything... zippers, material, design, whatever. That's hard to do. Shout out to the Aer design and production team for building high quality gear.
Also want to give a shout out to the NYC store staff. Juan, the guy that's holding it down over there, is friendly and knowledgeable. The perfect guy to rep the Aer brand in one of the biggest cities in the world. I've always had a great experience there.
