What are the Travel Pack 3's capacity, dimensions, and weight?
The Travel Pack 3 has a 35-liter volume and measures 21.5 inches long by 13 inches wide by 9 inches deep (54.5 × 33 × 21.5 cm). Aer lists the pack weight as 4.12 pounds. These figures describe the standard Travel Pack 3, not the separately listed Travel Pack 3 Small or other variants.
How is the Travel Pack 3 organized for packing and carrying?
Its main compartment opens flat for packing, while quick-access top and side pockets hold smaller items. The bag also has an expandable water-bottle pocket, a hidden smart-tracker pocket, handles on all sides, and a luggage-handle pass-through. An internal framesheet, load lifters, and magnetic compression straps provide structure and load control.
What laptop size does the Travel Pack 3 accommodate?
The Travel Pack 3 has a padded, suspended laptop pocket with a soft lining that fits laptops up to 16 inches. The pocket is a dedicated sleeve within the travel pack; buyers should still check their device's actual dimensions and case thickness rather than relying only on screen size.
What materials and hardware are used on the Travel Pack 3?
Aer specifies a bluesign-approved 1680D Cordura ballistic-nylon exterior, YKK zippers, and Duraflex plastic hardware. The product page also lists lockable zipper sliders, an internal framesheet, and magnetic fasteners on the compression straps. These are construction and feature specifications, not a guarantee against ordinary wear or accidental damage.
What warranty support is available for the Travel Pack 3?
Aer states that its lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship for the product's lifespan. The original purchaser or gift recipient must provide an order number from Aer or valid proof of purchase from an authorized retailer; the warranty is not transferable. To start a claim, contact [email protected] with the requested purchase and product information so Aer can review eligibility and provide next steps.
