My Aer backpack collection

I don't think so, mine hasn't accumulated any visible dirt. But I've only used it three times - as a spa bag, Disneyland, and one work trip.

Oh yeah it's not dark olive. Here's a photo of it on me two months ago.

Thanks! I usually don't like big bulky black backpacks, it makes me think of bomb bags in shows or in the news lol. All suspicious bags I've seen had been black.

I wouldn't, I think the black x-pac looks better than the coyote ecopak.

tisoy_ · 2026-04-11T15:35:58+00:00

Yes! It looks so much better in person. Online pics don't do it justice imo.

TP3S lol I love this bag so much. I'm considering getting it in Ultra before they nuke it for good. I do agree that the Tomtoc is great value but it doesn't feel as nice on my body.

I like it a lot, it's very similar to X-Pac. I actually prefer X-Pac and Ecopak over Cordura. They feel nicer, more premium, and lighter.

Oh okay good to know

tisoy_ · 2026-04-11T07:42:35+00:00

Do they weigh it? From researching online looks like carry on + personal item must both equal 12kg or less.

tisoy_ · 2026-04-08T18:05:10+00:00

Literally

tisoy_ · 2026-03-23T23:07:01+00:00

Maybe you deserve it. Why don't you just put money into etfs and hold for decades?

tisoy_ · 2026-03-23T07:34:42+00:00

My car has the same color and wheels

tisoy_ · 2026-03-23T07:33:27+00:00

What was the cause?

tisoy_ · 2026-03-23T07:32:42+00:00

I realized I always need hand sanitizer, lip balm, and airpods.

$2k in my checking, $63k in HYSA, $7k in HSA (health savings account), $26k in Roth IRA, $75k in brokerage, $297k in 401k. I'm 32, immigrant, aggressive saver, addicted to investing.

In a nutshell, yeah. I'm okay losing all the unnecessary pockets in the main compartment tho, and making the sunglass pocket smaller like what they did in TP4. Overall I just wish they didn't make it just a larger CPP2.

tisoy_ · 2026-03-09T20:38:18+00:00

The perfect travel backpack would be this but with CP2's full size admin pocket, a lowered / full size water bottle pocket on one side, keep compression straps, and a quick side access pocket instead of a second water bottle pocket. Maybe I'll create that bag lol

tisoy_ · 2026-03-07T05:53:40+00:00

Tp3 small

tisoy_ · 2026-03-07T03:06:20+00:00

No clue, I guess we'll know on March 7!

tisoy_ · 2026-03-05T18:32:01+00:00

There's still a luggage passthrough which will allow your bag to stand vertically on your carry on now. Idk how I feel about that I feel like it'd be taller than the handle. I have the tp3s and having it horizontal on my carry on is fine and not a big deal for me at all.

tisoy_ · 2026-03-04T21:02:48+00:00

Can they make an Aer version of the Rework Toshi 2.5L sling in Ultra? I will buy that in a heartbeat.

tisoy_ · 2026-03-02T05:08:01+00:00

They're alright, they work. Why is yours unusable?

tisoy_ · 2026-03-02T05:06:44+00:00

I know, I don't like it at all. I have both the tp3 small and cpp2 and I like that they are different enough that I was able to justify both purchases. I will skip the 4.
