With a larger water bottle slot, I probably need to get a new bottle but that is fine and I actually enjoy the fact that I can probably carry just a little bit more water with me. To be honest, I actually don’t like this change either since I loosen my backpack on the right shoulder and swing it around to the left to easily get access to the water bottle if I am traveling but its more of a slight personal inconvenience than a crippling design flaw. The water bottle compartment on the TP3 is larger than the TP3 (though slightly) and is swapped from the right side to the left side. Another small change is that the padding flares inward towards the bottom which I assume again helps with airflow. Not sure why they went away from the smoother seatbelt like material. The strap in middle of the backpack padding is also made with the new strap material which makes me start to question the change even more. Shoulder straps are thicker, wider, contain more padding which probably aid better in cooling. Its the same hip belt from the TP2 so if you already have one, there is no need to buy another one unless you just want to have 2. Like the TP2, is an option to buy a hip bely and I highly recommend it, especially if you carry a heavy load. The new magnetic Fidlock buckle system used on the sternum strap and side straps More on the zippers later as I cover each compartment individually. The TP3 continues on with the use of the YKK® AquaGuard® zippers and this time I have noticed a lot more intentional waterproofing. As far as handles go, TP3 includes carry handles on BOTH sides. One other material change to note is than main handle (on top of the backpack) is no longer made from the X-Pac material and seems to be more low profile. The interior of the new TP3 has a different texture pattern which I think will help with stopping rips and add to the durability of the lining material itself. The inside of the X-Pac version of the backpack uses an orange “high-vis” lining that helps you quickly identify objects in your pack due to the contrasting colors. This just speaks for the high build quality behind Aer’s products. I can personally vouch for this type of material as I have traveled all over the US and Europe with just a single backpack and to this day, it still holds up with almost no noticeable signs of compromise to the outside. As such, it is water proof, resistant to abrasion, puncture, cuts, and lightweight. I am VERY pleased that Aer continued with the X-Pac line as an option as I personally really enjoy it.
