I just bought the Aer Dopp Kit 2 in X-Pac, I really like it but I haven't traveled with it yet... I went on a month long trip and brought a "Dopp Veneto Traditional Framed Kit 2 Zipper". It was HUGE and HEAVY and over kill... Was not a smart thing to bring but it's just what I've used for the last 5 years without realizing there was a world of amazing well designed Dopp kits. Now I'm in the RUclips Rabbit Hole of Dopp Kit reviews, Tech Kits, Carry On Backpacks and Slings!
@ConnahJay the Aer Dopp Kit 2 also looks like a compelling option, but “chunkier” than the Travel Kit 2- a little bit too bulky for my needs. The Aer Travel Kit 2 works perfectly for me and I really like X-PAC- I would pick it up in that variant if I really “needed” the material 😂😂 You’re in a wonderful rabbit hole, to be honest! It’s always interesting to see how companies are innovating and refining travel/EDC gear for organization and aesthetics. Thank you for watching!
@@GearOnTheGo Do you feel like Aer makes some of the best Dopp kits and Tech Kits? I've seen other companies but I really like the Aer aesthetics and the build quality seems fantastic. Excited to use this! I'm really fanboying of EVERGOODS backpacks now too. Is there a good option for toothbrush containers too?
I have the first version of the Aer Travel Kit Got it on Ebay, So fare used it on a few trips. It fits everything from toiletries so all my meds. It works really well.
Not really except the locking zipper in the back. The loops are inside mine but thats something I don't use. Version 2 was out when I was thinking about getting one, I found mine on ebay used so I went that way with version 1 and it looked brand new. @@GearOnTheGo
How does the internal matiral holds up to water? Like if I'll take it with me to the shower to be my shampoo holder and the such? (I'm camping from time to time so having a shower with anything more the a faucet and a curtain is more of a suggestion)
I haven’t had any issues with water since I’ve had it! I would definitely recommend airing it out when you have the chance, but it’s definitely robust!
I really think I want this.... but going back and forth between the cordura and xpac. I love the orange but not sure I like the exterior xpac. Do you have a preference and why?
You can’t go wrong with either material! The Cordura is a bit more pliable and has the gray interior while the XPAC is a bit more stiff, has better water resistance, and has the orange interior. The water resistance shouldn’t matter much with this since it’ll likely be packed inside of a bag. XPAC is also a little more expensive than the Cordura. Honestly, it just comes down to which style you like and personal preference.
@@GearOnTheGo do you think you can fit two electric toothbrushes in that toothbrush spot, probably with the head removed I would assume? It looks like you could hold a lot in it but not too much.
@sdophoto1405 it definitely depends on what kind of electric toothbrushes you have. Smaller ones, such as the Quip or Philips One should be able to fit. I have a bulkier Oral B toothbrush and the handle is too thick to fit in that spot. Hope that helps!
What Dopp kit do you use on your adventures?

Aer definitely makes some good stuff! Peak Design and EVERGOODS make some great tech kits if you’re in the market for that!
Fantastic review, thank you!

Very nice! Have you noticed any major differences between the 1 and the 2?

Awesome video! Love how detailed you are. We vlogged our recent trip to the new Aer store in NYC and this Travel Kit definitely caught our eye!
Appreciate the kind words! I’m sure it was cool to see their store in NYC! Thank you for sharing.
I couldn't find this on Amazon so I got the same size Travelon (grey_ ) and I love it.
I wish AER’s products were available on Amazon. Thank you for sharing!

@@GearOnTheGo I just bought this and I love it already!
@sdophoto1405 I’m glad you like it!
