It’s hard to put real numbers to it, but I hope that makes sense. This means you have more like 6-8L in each compartment. The coffee container absolutely wouldn’t fit in the center compartment of the Fit Pack 3, and it also may have struggled to fit in the front zip-up compartment.ġ8 liters is plenty of space, but because of the design of the bag, it’s divided vertically. It was easy for me to throw it in my regular work bag at the time. For example, one time I went to work a few years ago and ended up bringing a large metal coffee container home. Most bags that have a large front capacity or cavity mean you can carry something unknown if you need to. I’ll be brief because I couldn’t find too many things I was unhappy with, while using the Aer Fit Pack 3. I talked about a lot of positive things and didn’t get to discuss much, if any, of the negative parts. I don’t want anything wet to sit even remotely close to my laptop and other electronics like my AirPods or things that are company property. I know that for me, I’m excited for the opportunity to not have my sweaty gym clothes close to anything of value, like my laptop. If you use special gym shoes (like shoes for SoulCycle, Peloton or clamp-in bike shoes) or you want sandals for after swimming, you can put them in the shoe compartment. You can stuff your gym clothes in the front compartment and you have the rest of the bag for whatever else, like work stuff. However, if you’re coming from work, or a coworking space, or doing errands before or after the gym, you want something that can separate your clothes and anything else you need.

If you’re going from your home to the gym, you can be more intentional with what (and how) you bring your things. I’ve usually thrown everything into a drawstring bag or I’ve used a bag that doesn’t have any organization. Since 2020, I’ve been spending a lot of my time running outside, all around NYC.įor times when I’ve gone to the gym regularly, my gym bag has been such a mess. Personally, my fitness patterns come in waves. I’ve totally designated a few bags toward the gym over the years. The Fit Pack 3 is sort of designed for the gym-goer. There’s one at the top, and there’s one that sits flush on the back part of the bag. I literally turned the back upside-down to dump the water out. When I was on my trip in Canada, I filled up my tumbler, and must not have closed it all the way, because I noticed a small puddle sitting inside when I took my bottle out. The water bottle pockets are also semi-waterproof. I have this Simple Modern tumbler and the Aer Fit Pack 3 has no trouble accommodating it. They can expand to fit large water bottles, too. When you’re not using them, they don’t flare out like some bags do. They sit flush with the bag, and have a feature to expand when you apply pressure to the inside. The actual pockets for your water bottle are nice. I’ve mostly used this backpack with one water bottle, and I enjoy being able to pick the side on which to carry my bottle. You might want to bring a water bottle for during the class, and a bottle of a hydration drink, for afterward. This feature shines when you’re going to the gym, or bringing this bag to a workout class, because you can bring multiple drinks with you as well. I recently used it as my daypack, flight personal item and work bag on a trip to Canada.Īnyway, let’s get started with all the features, impressions and worthwhile-ness of this unique laptop backpack that can hit the gym. Becca liked the bag, but I liked it more! I’ve started using this bag for when I go to work, which only strengthens the case of how good this backpack is. We actually received this bag from Aer when writing about the best backpacks for women.

In this (completely unsponsored) review, I’m going to highlight some of the things I’ve enjoyed, some of the things I don’t like and everything in between, regarding this sleek backpack. It’s not perfect, but I’ve really enjoyed using the bag for work, travel and fitness. I welcomed the Aer Fit Pack 3 to my collection of backpacks and daypacks.

Or, the bag feels too bulky for what you need it for. It always seems like you need a little more space. I have found, of course, that there’s no perfect bag. Over the last few years, I’ve tested and accumulated a lot of different backpacks.
