Thanks for the video.. Thought I was going with the Aer but I think i'm gonna go with the PD after watching your video... Quick question, is the color black or gray on the peak design?

Would you rate the Peak Design 30L, highly? I got farpoint 40, but I dunno if I should swap for Peak design

Hey guys, just letting y'all know this video was just an experiment. I have no regular product reviews. This is my only one at this time albeit it was honest. I wanted to see how many views I could get by labeling the video "THE BEST SOMETHING SOMETHING." It was all done in one take with no talking points and no major time spent on editing. It probably wasn't the fairest or the most thoughtout comparison. I'd need to compare like 10 bags to do so. But apparently, people and youtube algorithm dig this sheesh. This video gained 11K views in 6 months (I expected 300 max). I uploaded two more videos on some books I read at the same time with no such extreme labeling. I received a total of 7 views combined for those two videos. I'm leaving this explanation here in case it's getting more views and pissing more people off. << which is quite interesting on the internet. You can post a video of a flower flowering doing its thing and still might manage to piss some people off 😂<< which is also quite a great tool for creators to get user engagement 😂Honestly, regarding the backpacks, there's no such thing as the best in a general sense. It's all based on personal preference and needs. This PD was the best for "ME." If you could relate to "MY" reasons, maybe I help you choose between these two very limited options. Peace out, y'all. Thanks for the data and insights🤘

vs Tortuga??

Backpack preferences will always be subjective and based on your individual needs. Some may pick a backpack because of aesthetics but many frequent travelers will pick a backpack based on the features offered. I use the 30L Peak Design - I don’t need a complex admin panel to organize my tech or multiple pockets for storage. I use packing cubes for clothes and little in the way of tech - a phone, cable and charge block. The Peak Design stows under a seat and passes as personal carry even though it does not meet the height requirement. The durable materials hold up even when packed out in the unexpanded 27L state, I have rarely had to use the expansion which goes up to 33L. Although I really like the Aer small, it was heavier and had more admin pockets and features I did not need - but I believe the Aer small to be an excellent backpack. On long multiple flights I get groggy and need simplicity in a backpack which is what the Peak Design 30L offers. I also love being able to stow away the straps when putting in an overhead bin or under a seat. Although I love bag reviews, I feel you really need to try out the backpack and be honest about your needs and use case. No backpack is perfect but if you do an honest evaluation of your needs you will pick the most appropriate backpack.

X3000 is discontinued get them while you can

the thieves in france and spain will feast with the peak design... even the aer.

Aer is pronounced ‘Air’

I recommend taking out the packing supplies first.

This is a very biased review. You favor Peak from the beginning. A fairer "throwdown" would have been to pack out all with the same loads and show how things fit and how it carries on your back. As one person below noted, the Peak straps are not that comfortable (and I know this for me personally - not speaking for you). I clicked on this to see a real throwdown, not a monologue of you actually like Peak better. Aer never had a chance. If that is how you feel just say it upfront.

@That Ang, Aw man! PD45L got to be the worst pack I own because: 1) as you mentioned, heavy from get go; and 2) straps are crap, and usually I am nice but this is understatement. I can carry like a mule and had it pack abt 10kg or so on a biz trip through the long Hong Kong and KL terminals and messed up my back. Took a year of PT to recover. It’s sitting somewhere in my dungeon hoping one day I might sell it. What surprised me is the Heimplanet 34l Transit Line. Has almost all the features of the PD but they didn’t get lazy with the comfort and weight like PD did. Bought a second one. And Moment came out with a v2 called 28L Weekender. Both surprised me between comfort, low weight, and features. And if you wait for either on sale or BF, you get from 20-30% off. This is why you can get PD45l on Ebay for very low price as it’s bad. And the 30l lost a lot of features. Anyways, hope the PD works out for you but definitely a Big Pass for me.

If you were to choose between the two smaller sizes, do you still like the Peak Design over the AER?

I believe the Aer has an inner flap by the base to give you choice on whether you want to give it some structure which allows it to stand.

I like my bag fitting under the seat so... And I don't do 1 bag travel.

Also you can try evergoods backpack😊

Also was not used to the Aer hooks. Strange choices on it but still a nice bag, at least upgrading from a typical Jansport lol

wwow~ stunning travel. 👌

What size is your head and what size of the AGV X3000 did you get? I’m thinking either the MS or ML. My head size falls in between 56.5. Also does the AGV has speakers pockets?

Do have a round or oval shaped head? I read the Bell is a better fit for oval heads.

My bad: I paid $266 for AGV x3000 - not $366. Also, TORC T1 is a Large not XL. T1 L is the same as the X3000 XL. Size goes like this: X3000 XL = Bullit XXL = T1 L.
