The shoulder strap is reasonably padded, but the reviewer wanted its wider section extended further to distribute weight more effectively when loaded. The laptop compartment secures a 16-inch MacBook Pro with a simple Velcro strap while keeping the device in place during movement. The reviewer appreciated that the exterior pocket expands outward, remaining usable even when the main compartment is fairly full.
The smaller valuables pocket opens easily one-handed through its locking pull, according to the reviewer’s experience with the bag. Because the strap is non-removable and non-reversible, the Aer Travel Sling 2 can be worn cross-body only over the left shoulder.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer used the Aer Travel Sling 2 daily as a work bag for several months, alongside travel applications.
