Got this AER City Pack Pro 2 for a great deal on Mercari. It looks good to me, but hoping to get some extra set of eyes to make sure it's authentic (I asked the seller prior to buying and he said he purchased direct from AER).
Thanks ahead of time!
I recently bought a Brompton, and none of the backpack options seemed better than my Aer. So I bought this 30×20 cm frame to use with the bag's trolley strap. It might not be a long-term solution since it could stretch over time, but it works well so far.
From experience Would say the day sling 4 hold a folded waterproof jacket? Where I live that’s kind of the one thing I can’t leave the house without, and don’t want to carry my CPP2 everywhere all the time
Bonjour à tous
J’envisage d’acheter un CP2 20l pour un usage journalier.
Je cherche un sac petit pas trop épais pour mes déplacement et les réunion. Sans avoir l’impression que je déplace mon matériel de camping.
J’ai besoin de déplacer un surface 13 pouces + un MacBook Air 13 pouces. Une petite pochette avec quelques câbles et mon chargeur.
Pensez vous que ça peut rentrer? Et sinon je voulais utiliser avec le cp2 la pochette Tech Folio 13" une fois au bureau lorsque je vais en réunion pour être plus léger
Mais je ne sais pas si ça va rentrer dans le sac.
Thinking about buying CPP2 but worried my laptop may not get fit smoothly. Does anyone can tell if my Lenovo LOQ 15 2026 will fit in the compartment without any problem? Thanks!
Just checked the site. Had my eyes on the DS3 and DS4.
Looks like they all went up in price…
No warning. Nothing. Disappointed.
Historically I’ve only ever gotten CORDURA ballistic nylon in black. However, I’m looking to get the Slim Pouch 2, which is only available in Navy at the moment. I have no problem waiting until the black is back in stock, but I’m considering trying something new with the navy. Let me know why you like the navy over black!
Hilarious Update: the slim pouch 2 in navy JUST sold out too lol so guess I’m waiting for restock no matter what! More time to decide between black and navy.
For everyone waiting, don't. Just get the v2 for now.
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.
I have been using the CPP 24L for a year and it’s the best backpack I’ve ever owned. I do find myself needing a bit more space, so I decided to try the Travel Pack 4 28L since it is mostly the same design with a bit more room.
I haven’t used it yet, but so far it seems good. Still minimal enough but will fit my stuff a bit easier without cramming. I do like the location of the key chain better and it just feels more robust. I feel like the water bottle side pockets on the CPP are better - same ballistic nylon material and the Travel Packs feels like a more fragile velvety material.

I have the ANA limited collab edition CPP2 in the cordura fabric. Since I spilled my drink on my backpack and a heavy rain in New York City the zippers (both normal zippers and the waterproof zippers on the laptop compartment) and the front admin pouch + front bottom big pouch cordura surface have smudged white stains.
I tried to use hand sanitizer, lens wipe, and the wet wipes I borrowed from the office and none work. Essentially it seems to clean it when I apply on the area but after it dry the stain is back up.
The only and easiest solution I found is to use hand soap and a microfiber cloth. I do not want to damage the waterproof ability so I just wet the cloth and then rubbing the stained areas and then apply hand soap on the cloth to wipe it again. Then I wipe the area with a clean wet cloth again and left it to dry in the bathroom. Now the stains are completely gone.
Sorry it could be a thing a lot of baggers already knew but I was panicking about it. The limited edition is already sold out in new york and the employees there told me if there are any issues with the bag they cannot replace it with the exact limited edition but have to exchange for an alternative design. I hate to see that happen but now I am glad my problem is solved.
Figured I'm probably not the first to do this, but maybe I'm the first to post it.
I was looking for a clean solution for a 1.5-bag carry, and this ended up being the simplest and most practical option.
I usually keep a Nite Ize #3 S-Biner on both my sling and backpack. Using them, I clipped the Hypalon pull tabs/latch points from each bag together.
This is one situation where I wish the DS4 had a detachable strap, but looping it around the bag and side handles keeps it out of the way well enough.
Doing this gets rid of most of the self-standing capability (at least with how I pack it out) going further into the MJ lean, but it's a worthy tradeoff if you don't like the feeling two straps or having the sling locked to the front.
Hey everyone, I’m curious if anyone has ever ironed on some patches to the Aer Pro Pack and if the material is suitable for that kind of customization? I’ve got some patches I’d like to add to a bag and looking at that one
Just gotta say wow, Aer shipping with FedEx is quick! I ordered a CPP20L on Sunday night around 9pm. It is out for delivery today (Tuesday morning) in Ottawa. No extra duties or fees. Awesome!!
Just recently bought a couple hats that were shipped via DHL from Boston. They took almost 2 weeks to arrive and I had to pay $26 in duties on arrival. Not to mention the tracking number hadn’t updated in a week and the hats just showed up at my door unannounced.
Way to go Aer!
For travel I really want to get the tp3 small for one bag travel, however I will be flying Hong Kong express which has a limit of 40 x 25 x 20 cm which the tp3 is over by 8 cm. What are your personal experiences with stuffing the tp3 and should I risk it?
I'm a PhD student and I've been wanting to get the City Pack Pro 2 X-Pac for some time now. I really like the bag, but it's just a bit too expensive for my budget at the moment. I was wondering if there's anyone that have a promo code available and willing to share it. I completely understand if not, I just thought I'd ask.
Thanks!!!
I’ve owned a Daypack since 2018 and have used it every day since then. I want something with a little more space, so I’m looking at the CPP2 20 or 24L. What size water bottle fits comfortably in the sleeve? I want to use my Yeti Rambler 36oz, and I don’t plan on packing my bag to the brim. I just don’t want to stress the seams if this water bottle width is pushing it.
Anyone in the UK had any experiences with Aer in the UK? I have a fit pack on which the stitching has come loose on a part of the bag. I contacted Aer in the UK on the 1st of April and so far have not had much success getting responses from them.
First response from Aer was 24 days after I raised a case with them, only after chasing. since then I have provided photos & receipts multiple times. My last reply from them was 20 days ago asking for additional photos, and that is only after I contacted the US support asking for help as I had chased about 7 times with no reply. the US team replied to me same day with a few hours and contacted the UK team which prompted a response from them the next day.
Bit of a disappointing experience overall after using Aer products for a decade.
Hello! Anyone have a promo code available? I heard that you get a 10% Promo-code after purchase.
I could make some use of it since I need a new bag for my trip to jordan, I stumbled on the City Pack Pro 2.
Thanks!
