The keyring sits high and its hook can snag, making key retrieval difficult while wearing the backpack tightly. The water-bottle pockets expand substantially, accommodating different items such as protein shakes, umbrellas, and larger bottles. The upgraded top pocket uses soft microfiber and substantial padding to protect phones and sunglasses from potential scratches.
The ventilated shoe compartment fits men's size thirteen shoes and incorporates three subtle ventilation holes. The reviewer says Aer upgraded the internal materials, making them feel tougher while the gray color helps brighten the compartment.
