## What reviewers said

-   "This bag is gorgeous. Such a beautiful, modern, minimalist look + a super large, spacious main compartment = best bag ever. The ballistic nylon is amazing, durable, and feels very heavy-duty. Highly recommend."
-   "By far the best quality well thought out the bag I’ve ever bought. Prefect in size and more than enough room for a week-long travel vacation. No complaints whatsoever. Want to also buy the day pack to go along with it now."
-   "The main feature of this bag is the main compartment being Read more about review stating Best Maximum Capacity Pack! A large open space without any organization. This makes the bag more versatile as you can use any combination of packing cubes, tech cases, and shoe bags that you need for each trip you take and you can fit more of them inside because more of the bag volume is the main area."

## Reviews from around the web

**Aer Capsule Pack Max Backpack: KING of One Bag Travel!!**
[www.youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-LdCcaQK1c)

> This is probably one of the best travel pack that I've seen ever. For as one-bag travel as that's being the new trend. I've really struggled to find a bag that will suit me but I think for two or three day trip, this is excellent (even) for a week long trip.

**Aer Capsule Pack Max Review**
[packhacker.com](https://packhacker.com/travel-gear/aer/capsule-pack-max/)

> In typical Aer fashion, the materials on this bag do not disappoint. The main fabric is 1680D Cordura nylon, which is super-durable and a great choice for a bag. If you’re familiar with other Aer products, they use this fabric on just about everything.

**AER CAPSULE PACK MAX REVIEW**

> If you’re into the overall looks and like your backpack to be a little sturdy and hold its shape well, then you can’t go wrong with the Aer Capsule. It’s got all the features you’d want from a premium carry-on with a very nice design to boot.

**Aer Capsule Pack Max Review • Best Backpack Duffel Hybrid?**
[www.thebrokebackpacker.com](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/aer-capsule-pack-max-review/)

With a variety of carrying options, removable straps, and an easy-to-pack structure, it’s the perfect everyday carry pack for numerous situations (especially the 35-liter version). Ultimately, I give the AER Capsule Pack Max 4.5 out of 5 stars.
