I waited over a year for this bag to restock and it was well worth the wait.
The clever design, versatility and quality are unparalleled. The main compartment top opening and expandable side compartments along with the varied ways to carry it were sellers for me. I tend to buy top quality luggage anyway (Tumi, Bric, etc.) but no backpack could rival this Aeronaut 30. I packed enough to take on my upcoming 2-3 week Amtrak trip.
The only improvement I would make is to use a lighter colored fabric in the main compartment for better visability just like the side pockets. Now all I need now is that shoulder strap.
I'm 5'2", female, and 79 y/o (next week). The bag is not too heavy nor too large.
Thanks Tom Bihn and crew!
- SSaraReviewingAeronaut 30I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoWonderful, well-designed bag
I bought this bag 4 years ago and it's the one I use for nearly every trip -- it's perfect for a trip of 3-4 days with heavy winter clothes, or a week of lighter, summer-clothes travel (although I once eeked out a 3-week international trip, doing laundry along the way).
The amount of organization is perfect; it helps me keep big categories of items separate without getting too fussy about it. I generally put clothes in the main center section, extra shoes in one side compartment, and toiletries and odds and ends in the other side compartment. Everything is easy to access without making you dig through layers of stuff, as top-packing backpacks require.
Also, I've never met an overhead bin that this wouldn't fit into, here or abroad. Overall this is a great bag and has held up really well -- I look forward to many more years with it!
- SGSeth G.ReviewingAeronaut 30I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 years ago5 Months of Perfect Packing
I have been using the Aeronaut 30 for the past 5 months while I work out of town during the week and I have absolutely loved it! When I first got it I was worried that it would not fit a weeks worth of cloths and travel items but with the addition of the Aeronaut 30 packing cubes it held everything I needed plus a pair of 10.5 wide men's shoes which I wasn't expecting. Having the main carrying handle on the "top" of the bag and not over the main compartment access like most duffel bags is one of the main things that set this bag apart and make it perfect for lugging around. I added the absolute shoulder strap and it barely feels like I am carrying a bag over my shoulder. One thing I did not think I would use are the two handles located inside the main compartment of the bag. They are very handy for moving the bag around a hotel room or the house while you pack or unpack, just another nice touch to an almost perfect bag.
The one thing that would have made this bag perfect was an additional 5 liters, making it a 35 liter bag. This would give me enough room to get a jacket in which I would love but its not stopping me from showing off the bag to friends and family every chance I get!
Once I had a chance to use this bag I realized this was the only bag I really need. Can not recommend this bag enough for someone who wants a smart, organized, compact travel bag to serve you for years.
- MGM G.ReviewingAeronaut 30I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 years agoGreat one bag for short person
I’m 5’0 short. This bag is great. Fits in overhead bin or under seat if not over packed. I couple this with pilot for airplane travel. I use packing cubes or roll clothing. Bag is comfortable to wear in backpack mode. I also have absolute strap I keep inside bag just in case I need a different carry option on the go.
- IHIan H.Verified BuyerReviewingAeronaut 30I recommend this productBought For MyselfProduct Standouts Thoughtful Design, Good Storage Size, High Quality Craftsmanship, Comfortable, CompactRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoPerfect Complement to Synapse 25
Preparing for a family trip to Spain, I was certain of two things at the outset: I didn’t want to check any bags, and my Synapse 25 was going to be insufficient on its own. I bought the Aeronaut 30 and stuffed it with my tripod, solar filter, two weeks’ worth of clothes, European travel adapters and cords for the family’s electronics, and an Eno DoubleNest hammock with hammock straps. The 3D organizers fit neatly in the side pockets, I used two packing cubes and one divided stiff sack in the main compartment, and the end pockets were convenient enough I was able to unzip them one-handed to stuff keys, wallet, phone and passport in at the last second before entering the security line.
On five planes and through four airports, I had no trouble carrying the Aeronaut with the attached handles, and it fit handily into both plane and train overhead storage bins. In fact, while everyone else’s roller bags were forced to be checked at the gate (and at least two of them were lost during the transfers and delays), the gate attendants never even blinked at the duffel bag form factor. With my Synapse as my personal item and my Aeronaut as my carry-on, I was secure that I had everything I needed every step of the way, and the always reliably thoughtful organization of the compartments meant I never had to wonder where anything was.
I don’t know why I waited so long to buy this bag except that, after ten years, my Synapse has yet to give me any indication of its age.
