Aero Pack (16L)

This Aero 16L Backpack is very lightweight and not too large. I am 5ft. 2 in and don’t want to be overwhelmed by size or weight and this bag is a good proportion for a travel backpack. The pockets are generous and well positioned. I would suggest that the zippers on the main compartment would have loops for adding a luggage TSA lock or a tethered clip to hook the zipper to and a tiny pocket to add a tracker device. Other than these suggestions, l would rate this Aero 16 L pack a 4.5. I look forward to seeing the world with it on my back.

I purchased this Aero Pack 16L as an upgrade to my general aviation pilot flight back. I wanted something compact, light and durable with enough space to accommodate my flight related primary and backup accessories (iPad Mini EFB, knee strap, backup kneeboard, headset case, sunglasses glasses, IFR foggles, fuel tester, stall horn tester, etc.). Absolutely love this backpack for use as a compact flight bag. I also like the internal bottle pocket which I use to store a small emergency water bottle but also some of the accessories needed for quick access I use the side pocket for easy access to disposable gloves used during pre-flight.

My only con is the straps. Would love thicker straps, similar to the Elements Pro shoulder straps (that’s my daily backpack used for work).

Overall love this backpack.
