Aer Travel Sling 2 Review
…’t shown any signs of failure for me. But this is a great moment to praise Aer for offering a lifetime warranty on their products. If you do have an issue during the practical lifetime of the bag, Aer will be there to support you. I like that. Comfort This is a sling bag designed to carry your tech. Naturally, our devices often wind up being some of the heaviest things we carry. That’s important to keep in mind with something meant to only be car…
Aer Travel Pack 3 Review
…that $300 barrier (in some cases, well past) so I find it refreshing that Aer is able to provide so much functionality in their bags and yet keep them at attainable price points. I really enjoyed my time with the Aer Travel Pack 3 and found it to be a worthwhile companion on the road despite some small complaints (no bag is perfect, after all). I think if the aesthetic suits your tastes, this is a great option in the 30L+ travel bag space. The B…
Aer Day Sling 3 Review
…: US$79-99 Design The Day Sling 3 is one of a few small sling options from Aer. The silhouette should look familiar to those who recall the past two revisions, but Aer has introduced some clever patterning changes to allow this small form factor bag to carry much more than you’d expect. The wide-yet-short profile allows the bag to sit very naturally on your chest or back (depending on your preference) and the shape also affords ambidextrous access…

Drive By :: Aer Duffle Pack
…t. The result of their design and a successful Kickstarter campaign is the Aer Duffle Pack. I start my day sipping espresso like it’s my job. In between sips, the two identical vertical pockets flanking the main compartments of the Aer Duffel Pack produce for me an assortment of notebooks and pens. Working through the espresso while frantically scribbling the days agenda into the rapidly filling pages I happen to glance at my watch. Already 10 min…

Aer Tech Folio Review
…ck-access essentials without issue. Not So Good There is not much that the Aer Tech Folio misses. If there was one thing that I think some people would like, it would be a strap attachment point to sling it over a shoulder. But this was not something that I found was needed for how I would use the folio. Verdict The Aer Tech Folio can seem a little bulky when packed out, but the fact that this can carry nearly everything one needs for a workday…

Exclusive Release: Aer x Carryology Tokai Sling
…our collaboration projects – our 10th Carryology collab. Introducing the Aer x Carryology Tokai Sling! We took a Carry Awards winner and reimagined what it could be. Inspired by bold Japanese street wear, but balanced it with subtle and tasteful execution. This harmony is what led to the creation of the Tokai (Japanese for “city”). As always, these collabs are limited editions, as we suspect this to sell out quickly. But, as a Carryology reader,…
