“i wanted to combine my work bag laptop/lunch with my gym bag gym shoes/gym clothes into one. this seemed to be the best choice. while it does achieve this i feel there could be minor tweaks to make it better. i fine the bottle holders are not super secure when using a hydroflask 1 litre, especially when the bag is packed out. i also wish it would stand up right. but overall it works and super tough like other AER products. i also have the AER travel pack 3 which is amazing. if the AER travel pack 3 Small had a shoe compartment i would pick that over the duffel pack for the modular design for a everyday carry.”
