This is why you will be happy to know that both of these packs feature lockable YKK zippers. Nobody wants to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a backpack and then deal with a broken zipper two days in.
It’s important for your backpack to have sturdy zippers. Tortuga Outbreaker Waterproof YKK Zippers In general, the Tortuga pack is the obvious choice for someone who is prioritizing durability over everything else. Especially because the Outbreaker features an additional layer of PET film, which will really hold your backpack together. Sailcloth is also incredibly sturdy, and it won’t tear apart at the seams. This means that you can’t really submerge it underwater, but that all your stuff will stay dry even if you wind up walking around during a blizzard. Not only is it made from sailcloth, which is a material used for making sails, it is also nearly 100% waterproof. The Outbreaker backpack actually surpassed my expectations here. And you should particularly worry about your technology. There’s a really good chance you’ll get caught in the rain at least once during your trip, and the Aer doesn’t do much to protect your belongings from that. Because of its tight weave, ballistic nylon is water-resistant, but the Aer backpack does not feature any kind of additional waterproofing.Īnd that’s not perfect, especially for such a pricey backpack. Let me rephrase that – a material used in much cheaper luggage and backpacks really often. The Aer Travel Pack 2 is made from ballistic nylon – a material used in backpacks and luggage very often. These two backpacks are made from very different materials. So, that’s the first thing we’ll be discussing in this detailed comparison! Materials Since you’re paying quite a lot of money for a backpack, you want to be sure that you can use it for years, if not decades to come. With backpacks that have prices in the triple digits like these two, durability is one of the most important features. And that’s going to be your undisputed winner. There can only be one winner in each section, and by the end, we’ll see which pack pulled ahead more times. We’ll compare the backpacks in areas that matter the most: comfort, durability, and functionality. So, let’s compare the Outbreaker and the Travel Pack 2 in detail, and see which one takes the crown for the best travel backpack! Tortuga Outbreaker Vs. But, for those of you that carry 13” devices, either one is going to be a valid option.Īnyway, you should take a look at all the other features, before you actually decide which backpack is the better option for you.
If you have a 17” laptop, then you don’t even need to look at the other features. In addition to that, the Outbreaker can fit a 17” laptop, while the Travel Pack 2 fits only 15.6” ones. On the other hand, the bigger backpack is a great option for those that are going away for a long time, and also for people that have bigger bodies. The smaller backpack is the better option for people who are petite, or who don’t actually need anything too large. Tortuga gives you a choice when it comes to size. It also manages to be bigger than the Outbreaker 35L, but with a smaller capacity. However, there’s no size variety with the Travel Pack 2 – it is available only in one size, which frankly doesn’t fully utilize airline carry-on requirements. This is an advantage since no one likes to carry heavy backpacks. It is obvious that the Aer pack is the lightest out of the bunch, but not the smallest.
