#Aer sling x pac upgrade
After all, there’s no point having one of the most water-resistant fabrics in use when water could just get in through the seams.Ĭelebrate 5 years of EDC-focused bags with Aer and give yours the overbuilt X-Pac upgrade with their new collection. Finally, speaking of zippers, all the zippers across the 5 bags (except for the shoe compartments) have been upgraded to YKK AquaGuards. Each bag’s interior now comes in a striking high-visibility orange, and the zipper pulls have been upgraded to use reflective cords. In addition to the X-Pac construction, each of the 5 bags comes with a few additional premium features to distinguish their limited release. Finally, the Day Sling 2 comes with 4L of storage and organization across 3 compartments, ensuring none of your EDC essentials get left behind. The Duffel and Fit Pack 2 are 24.6L and 18.8L respectively, and whose key feature is a separate shoe/used clothes compartment for when you transition from your desk to your workout. The Flight Pack 2 is a convertible 21L backpack that can reconfigure into a messenger and designed to work well with luggage pass-throughs. The largest of the set is the carry-on Travel Pack 2 with a 33L capacity and lay-flat design ideal for stuffing with packing cubes. That’s two of their most popular travel bags, two of their office/gym daypacks, and their EDC-friendly daily sling, depending on the capacity and day-to-day use you’ll need. The 5 Aer bags rebuilt with X-Pac are the second generation Duffel Pack, Fit Pack, Travel Pack, Flight Pack, and Day Sling. Superior durability combined with exceptional water resistance results in bags in it for the long haul, no matter the climate. Given those properties, it’s a no-brainer that X-Pac is a natural fit for bags. Since it’s used for racing sails, that meant X-Pac should not only stand up to an extended beating from water and sun but also retain its shape, all while staying as light as possible. Whether it’s your first time picking up one of their bags or leveling up your favorite model, now’s a great chance to step up your bag game with one of the most high-tech materials out there.ĭeveloped by sailcloth makers Dimension-Polyant, the VX-42 X-Pac fabric used to bolster the exterior construction of the 5 bags is made from 4 layers of heavy-duty synthetic materials laminated into a single sheet. For its 5th anniversary, Aer is giving 5 of their most popular bags the X-Pac sailcloth treatment, a highly durable and waterproof laminate designed to withstand the harshest conditions. It’s hard to think of such an upgrade when it comes to bags given how sturdy a lot of them are, but then a material comes along that changes the game. Think of the time you upgraded from incandescent to LED flashlights, or from feature phones to the latest smartphone.
Sometimes an upgrade comes along that redefines how you use a piece of gear.
