New Release: Aer Simple Tote - First Impressions

Here’s the quick breakdown:

Target use: Ultralight EDC and travel

Standout feature: Ultra fabric

Potential drawbacks: Not great for weather resistance due to the open tops on all pockets

Photo #1 - Worn on me (I'm 5'8)

Photo #2 - Side view

Photo #3 - Close-up of the front…

Photo #4 - Close-up of the Ultra fabric - you'll either love it or hate it

Photo #5 - Close-up of the handles - they’re simple and a bit coarse

Photo #6 - Close-up of the Fidlock V-Buckle - may be overkill for this tote.

Photo #7 - No internal lining, this is the laminated backside of the Ultra fabric

Photo #8 - The front pockets have a good bit of extra volume

Photo #9 - The main pocket is roomy - paper towel roll for reference.

✅ 14 liters of total volume - great size for a tote.

✅ Two front pockets feature their own volume and drainage holes.

✅ External lash points.

❌ Fidlock V-Buckle is an odd choice for such a simple tote - heavy and potentially complicated compared to the rest of the tote.

❌ No interior organization inside the pockets.

❌ No lining; the bag's interior is the Ultra fabric's laminate.
