Aer Travel Sling 2 Review

Aer is a brand that should be familiar to most within this community. As purveyors of tech-focused, mostly black, aesthetically minimal packs they’ve been making a name for themselves since 2014. Their focus on simplicity, utility, and durability has garnered a largely positive reputation in the years since. And with each generation of products, they aim to make meaningful updates based on real-world usage and feedback. 

We’re here today to take a look at the  Aer Travel Sling 2 , which is a pretty thorough design update from the original. Though travel is in the name of this bag, don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s only suitable for that role. I’ve been putting it to daily use over the past few months as my work bag (in addition to travel applications) and I’m ready to share my thoughts.  

Let’s dig in.

BUY THIS ITEM

Who It Suits

This is a bag that gravitates towards the tech-savvy; if you need to carry an array of tech devices securely on a daily basis, this is a great option to consider. If you’re into sleek, minimal aesthetics with a dash of techwear, this is for you. Additionally, it will make a great secondary carry-on bag for travel purposes to make your devices and travel necessities easier to access. 

Who It Doesn’t

Anyone who isn’t a fan of sling or messenger-style bags won’t suddenly be enlightened by this bag. If you need to carry a lot more than your tech, this will run out of space. Additionally, if you need to, or prefer to carry on your right shoulder, unfortunately, this is not your bag. While you can hang the bag off your right shoulder, it is designed for cross-body wear.

Aesthetically speaking, Aer’s products predominantly feature a minimal, tech-forward look which suits all genders. Though, in my opinion, I would say they are slightly masculine in their appearance. The Travel Sling 2 is currently available in two different colorways, Black and Heather Gray. There is no wrong choice between the two as they both suit the overall silhouette of the bag very well.

I also am a big fan of the updated patterning of this version over the original Travel Sling, which was overall a more boxy design. This almost feels like a scaled-up version of the Day Sling, and the bag feels well-proportioned overall. Aer’s typical neutral gray interior liner works well enough to give you a clear view of the bag’s contents. But I must say, I love the bright orange liner they use on their X-Pac editions and I think it would really suit this bag’s overall look and feel. 

Construction

Quality of construction is, for me, one of the most important aspects when it comes to making a purchase decision with a bag. Aer has been continuously improving their construction (not that they were ever “bad”) with each generation of products they release. The Travel Sling 2 arrived with absolutely zero construction flaws upon initial inspection. And in the subsequent months of daily use I’ve put the bag through, nothing has changed. Though I haven’t yet flown with the bag, it has been on road trips, in and out of cars, and used as a daily carry for work. I’m not intentionally “rough” on bags or equipment. But I’m also not afraid to use them and the Travel Sling 2 has exhibited no signs of construction failure. This leaves me feeling fairly confident that this will continue to be the case in a longer-term scenario. 

Materials & Hardware

Aer uses quality materials on their bags and the entire exterior of the sling is constructed of 1680D Ballistic Nylon. The smooth texture of Ballistic Nylon (versus a more coarse weave like Cordura 500D and 1000D) makes it easy to clean if you do happen to get it dirty. It also means that dust and fur aren’t going to easily stick to the exterior. Thank goodness, because my Australian Shepherds’ fur is deeply embedded into just about everything I own. The interior is lined with a light gray colored pack-cloth material, similar to most of their other products. 

This makes the interior visible so none of your contents will hide in dark crevices never to be seen again. No part of the interior lining is abrasive either so everything is well protected, especially the laptop sleeve which has a soft-touch lining on the back wall of the bag. It’s worth noting that this will fit up to a 16″ MacBook Pro, but it is a bit snug. Anything smaller than that will fit easily. 

For me personally, zippers can make or break the user experience of a bag. Fortunately, I love the huge and delightfully smooth YKK #10RC zipper for the main compartment, which makes access to that primary space a breeze. The front pocket also features a YKK #10RC but this one is an AquaGuard zip so there is a little more resistance to open that compartment, though certainly not enough to cause usability issues.

The small valuables pocket features a YKK #5RC zipper with a locking pull. I found it easy to open one-handed, which is always appreciated. Additionally, the shoulder strap is nicely padded and features a sturdy Duraflex plastic buckle for quick release; though I seldom unclip messenger-style bags, preferring to just slide them on overhead. Overall I appreciate the quality of materials that Aer has chosen to work with. Despite the relatively affordable $115 price point, the bag still feels like a premium product. 

A tech sling wouldn’t be very good if it didn’t carry your tech securely, right? Fortunately, this updated design that Aer has produced is an excellent travel companion for hauling your laptop, tablet, headphones, and all of the other tech bits we typically want to carry with us. I find that it makes a great dedicated bag for this purpose. The Travel Sling 2 is capable of carrying a 16″ MacBook Pro as I mentioned earlier and has a simple but secure Velcro strap closure to keep your device secured in place while you’re mobile. I found the pocketing to be sufficient without being overly prescriptive either. If you’re a pouch organizer, however, I suggest you stick to flat pouches as they’re going to accommodate the space a bit better.

I really liked that the exterior pocket has its own volume and expands outwards rather than inwards. This allows you to still use it comfortably even if the main compartment is fairly loaded. This is great if you want to keep a few quick-access items handy without having to dig around inside the main compartment (though to be fair, this isn’t a large bag so it’s not difficult to find things).

The additional small exterior pocket is a great place to drop things like your phone, or passport, and tickets while traveling. However, there is no organization so there’s no way to separate your things in there; it’s just a quick drop spot. But in my opinion, pockets like that are still incredibly useful to have on a bag like this.

Lastly, the Aer Travel Sling 2 features two external lash straps, which is a carry-over feature from the original design. I imagine it would be useful if one was carrying something like an umbrella or a tightly rolled jacket, but I personally found little use for them; they felt a bit vestigial to me and I would have preferred if they were removable. They do mostly stay out of the way, which is appreciated. But for a company so focused on clean and minimalist designs, this one small detail felt a bit out of character.

Performance

When reviewing a bag, I generally prefer to spend at least a month or two (ideally longer) with it to get a real idea of what it’s like to live with and to see if any potential issues arise from daily use. Fortunately, the Travel Sling 2 is built from quality materials and hasn’t shown any signs of failure for me. But this is a great moment to praise Aer for offering a lifetime warranty on their products. If you do have an issue during the practical lifetime of the bag, Aer will be there to support you. I like that.

This is a sling bag designed to carry your tech. Naturally, our devices often wind up being some of the heaviest things we carry. That’s important to keep in mind with something meant to only be carried on one shoulder. The shoulder strap itself is reasonably well padded but if the bag is fully loaded I would have preferred that the wider portion of the strap be extended further to distribute the weight a little better over my shoulder. That’s not to say it’s uncomfortable. But I found that when the bag was loaded with all of my tech for work, the weight was noticeable. And it was especially noticeable if the bag was overloaded.

I also need to mention that the strap is non-removable and non-reversible. Meaning if you want to wear it cross-body as designed, it can only be worn slung over your left shoulder. This doesn’t personally bother me as it’s how I typically would wear such a bag. But for those of you who prefer (or need) to wear a bag over your right shoulder, this is not going to be the option for you. 

The Travel Sling 2 is naturally meant to be a cross-body sling, but you can also carry it by its handle. Fortunately, the top handle is quite comfortable in the hand as it’s a doubled-up webbing which makes it feel plush. So while it can’t really be carried “briefcase-style” with the shoulder strap, it does at least carry nicely when you need to use the handle.

Weatherability

The Aer Travel Sling 2 is made of a very sturdy set of materials and though they will provide some water repellency, they are not explicitly waterproof. The zippers, smooth as they are, are YKK RC and not of the AquaGuard variety, except for the front pocket (a curious anomaly). The point being, it will probably be fine in light rain. But I wouldn’t subject it to any extreme weather and expect everything inside to remain perfectly dry. There isn’t an external rainfly for the Travel Sling 2 available from Aer directly. But it wouldn’t be too hard to rig up something from a third party that is close enough to the dimensions of this bag.

• Thoughtful organization for an array of tech devices
• Quality construction and premium materials for the pricepoint
• Comfortable size for daily carry, while remaining suitable for travel
• Excellent support with a lifetime warranty

Not So Good

• The shoulder strap only accommodates left shoulder carry
• You will surely feel the weight on your shoulder if you fill the bag with lots of heavy tech items

Though the Travel Sling 2 isn’t an entirely new design from Aer, it is a refined silhouette that borrows from their other lines (you can see influences from the Day Sling). What they’ve done though is slightly increase the length and depth which ultimately gives the user a much more useful footprint over the original. The internal layout is a delight for carrying your laptop, headphones, and tech necessities on a daily basis with enough room for a few extras whilst traveling. In the time I’ve been using the Aer Travel Sling 2 I never found it got in my way or caused any sort of frustration. This says a lot as I can be rather picky when it comes to bag designs. If you’re looking for a daily tech hauler or slim travel companion, be sure to put this on your list. It’s excellent value at $115.

Among the many things we’d like to praise Aer for, it’s for the straightforward naming convention they’ve adopted. They release a product, and the immediate follow-up gets a number affixed at the end. They make the progression easy to track, sort of like a baby’s growth chart. Some of their products, like the Gym Duffel 3 and Sling Bag 3 , are already in their third iterations (as their names suggest), and each time they do a release, there are usually small but meaningful changes under the hood.

Such is the case of the subject of this review: the City Sling 2. It’s grown in size, slimmed down its strap, got a shiny new Fidlock magnet, and is now more comfortable to wear. We think the improvements make this a better sling overall, and Aer’s even given it pouch-like capabilities. There’s actually a lot to go through, as we’ll be making some comparisons with the original City Sling . If you want a visual breakdown, check out our City Sling 2 vs City Sling comparison video . In the meantime, let’s put that Fidlock to use and buckle in; this is a sequel worth tuning in to.

Materials & Aesthetic

The City Sling 2 shares most of its DNA with the rest of Aer’s lineup, both in terms of aesthetic and material. We’ve flipped through this sling inside and out, and there’s no denying that Aer has kept their magic—this is one solid-feeling sling. The way they’ve put together 1680D CORDURA Ballistic Nylon and YKK zippers makes the whole sling feel very structured. Even when empty, it doesn’t collapse like a wet paper bag.

It’s the same story if you pick the X-Pac version as well. That one feels—and sounds—a bit more wrinkly, though, so our vote goes with this 1680D version. That said, the X-Pac version definitely has its own strengths. It’s more weather-resistant, plus it has a bright orange liner that ups interior visibility. Either way, the City Sling 2 has good structure, but that doesn’t mean comfort suffers, as you’ll see later on.

The overall styling is not revolutionary; rather, it’s an evolution of the original City Sling. Squint and you may not be able to tell the differences, but they’re definitely there, and they’re meaningful. For starters, the sling has grown bigger to fit more stuff. The jingly zipper pulls we always pointed out in the past are now just that: a thing of the past. Even the large side-release buckle on the strap has been streamlined. There’s now a Fidlock magnet in its place, which is as satisfying to use as it looks—very.

We dig the City Sling 2’s design; it’s flashy and minimal at the same time. The split-opening front pocket looks like a futuristic visor someone would wear in the 23rd century, and the black colorway suggests it’s Robocop. In contrast, branding is minimal, only appearing on a small Hypalon tag partly obscured by a compression strap, on the zipper pulls, and a black patch inside.

External Components

Aer has sprinkled a number of new features all over the City Sling 2, ranging from noticeable to subtle. Whether they’re big or small, those changes add up, so much so that we think this version stands head and shoulders above the original. For instance, there’s now a top handle for carrying the sling by hand. It’s just a simple flat nylon strap wide enough to grab onto, but it’s a hint as to what the City Sling 2 ‘s double life is.

The second hint is the new back panel, now featuring openings on both sides where the strap can stow into; simply undo the buckle and stuff the straps inside. There are two things to keep in mind, though. First, the strap is quite long, so stowing them inside the back panel noticeably bulks up the rear. Second, the two halves of the magnetic buckles can lock themselves together if pushed close enough inside the back panel.

Once they’re locked in, you have to pull the strap to one side first to undo the buckle, then pull the other end to completely free both ends. Unfortunately, this happened to us frequently, and it took some getting used to. Also worth keeping in mind is that stowing the straps away gets trickier as the sling gets packed more tightly. Whenever we had difficulty fishing the straps out of the back panel, removing our packable jacket from the main compartment usually helped.

So, with the top handle and stowable strap, what do you get? Yes, it’s a pouch! And a capable one, at that. Some of our favorite slings and pouches can pull off double-duty. Pouches with D-rings for attaching straps? Thumbs up. Slings with a handle and a stowable/removable strap? Also a thumbs up.

The strap on the City Sling 2 gets its own improvements. There are now plastic strap keepers to keep the slack in check and adjusters on both sides so you can position the Fidlock magnetic buckle as preferred. After a week or so of testing the City Sling 2, going back to the original made us realize just how big the original’s strap and buckle were. The strap on the City Sling 2 is much narrower, and the Fidlock magnetic buckle is way smaller compared to the wide side-release buckle on the original. It’s an unusual step considering that Aer made this current version bigger, so if anything, you’d expect them to scale things up.

The surprising thing is that somehow, the City Sling 2 handles just as well, if not better, than the original. We deduce that this is down to the new and improved compression straps along the sides, now with aluminum hardware. We do feel that the aluminum adjusters are more slippery than the old plastic ones, but we haven’t seen them let go or slip so far. They tighten down the sling and trim any excess fat left once you’ve packed everything you need inside.

Overall, the City Sling 2 sits just right against the body, whether it’s worn on the front or at the back. Considering there isn’t a ton of padding on the back panel or the straps, Aer has really nailed down the comfort of the City Sling 2 with the shape and ergonomics.

Inside The Pack

As for the inside, we’ll start with the frontmost compartment. The YKK zipper is an AquaGuard-type, giving the compartment good water resistance, complete with a small zipper garage to seal the deal. The split-opening doesn’t make this pocket very suitable for piles of small items. It’s not like a top-down pocket where you drop in everyday carry items without risk of anything falling out the next time you open it. When you’re wearing the City Sling 2 crossbody, there’s only a relatively shallow floor on the bottom portion to hold items in.

This isn’t an issue if you’re not filling the compartment with small items or if you’re stuffing in large items that can be lodged under both the bottom and top fabric like a packet of wet wipes or tissues—it’s not going to go anywhere if the split fabric obstructs it. The good news is that the built-in key clip is now more robust. It’s no longer the flimsy clip we called out before; it’s now more of a mini carabiner to which we’re more than comfortable attaching house keys.

On the other hand, when the City Sling 2 is lying on its back panel, the front compartment functions like a pencil case, which plays more into the sling’s pouch capabilities we mentioned earlier. There’s a fair amount of volume here, so you can fit in plenty of pens and EDC items. Though, with the split-opening, we’d still watch out for anything that may fall out.

On the opposite side of the sling is the rear security pocket. The zipper doesn’t feature the usual long zipper pull, just a small Hypalon tab that can be tucked away. Gusseting shrouds the opening to keep it hidden from plain sight, which is how you know its security pocket. It’s also the perfect size for a passport, small travel documents, or some spare cash.

Finally, we have the main compartment, where Aer has shaken things up a bit as well. The compartment still opens up all the way to the edges and down the sides about halfway. The interior liner—and this applies to all the compartments—is a fairly bright grey for good visibility. Weather protection remains great for the most part, with twin reverse-coil YKK zippers keeping the elements at bay.

The addition of a liner pocket changes the internal layout from the original City Sling. The order is as follows from front to back: liner pocket, twin mesh pockets, main space, zippered pocket, and divider pocket. The mesh pockets are stretchy, with enough room for wireless earphones cases. However, the material feels loose and doesn’t have much grip, even compared to the liner pockets they replaced on the original City Sling. The original’s liner pockets featured elastic and held items fairly well, whereas the City Sling 2’s mesh pockets sometimes failed to hold small adapters after a slight jostle.

The good news is that since the total volume is up from the original, the City Sling 2 has a wider floor. We were able to fit our Patagonia Alpine Houdini inside without a problem and with room to spare. Any small item also easily finds a home in the many pockets present. In case you don’t need all the extra space, the compression straps ensure that the City Sling 2 doesn’t bulk up more than it needs to. We think the original’s size was fine, and we wouldn’t have complained if the City Sling 2 retained that volume. However, we’d rather have the extra space and not need it than not have it and then need it later on.

Our biggest takeaway from the City Sling 2 is how well Aer addressed all of the cons of the original City Sling. It wears comfortably, the zippers aren’t jingly, and the elastic strap keepers are a welcome addition. Noteworthy changes like these are what we like to see. We like the original City Sling, and the City Sling 2 just makes us like it even more.

Review: Aer’s City Sling 2 Is the Gold Standard in EDC-Optimized Storage

By: Gray Van Dyke Published: Dec 15, 2021

Ever since Aer launched its first crowdfunded project back in 2014, the San Francisco-based minimalist bagmaker has continued to put out exceptional products. We’ve been a big fan of the brand since day one, as it consistently finds the right balance between price, performance, and overall presentation. Earlier this year, Aer overhauled several staples within its lineup as part of an all-new fall City Collection. Given the success of bags like the Fit Pack and the Gym Duffel, we had to get hands-on to see how it fared.

Above all else, though, we were interested in seeing what Aer had done with the City Sling 2. As the second iteration of the best-selling City Sling, the bag certainly had a tough act to follow. Could it follow through on the original’s execution? Would it actually bring anything new to the table, or is the update only in name? Is it worth picking up the City Sling 2 if you already have the OG? If you find yourself asking these such questions, we’ve got you covered. What follows is a deep dive into everything the Aer City Sling 2 has to offer — specifically, in its ultra-premium X-Pac flavor.

Video Review: Aer City Sling 2

If you’d like to get a closer look at the sling, be sure to check out our stunning, in-depth Aer City Sling 2 4K video review.

First Impressions

Understated Excellence

One look at the City Sling 2 is all you need to see that it’s a bag from Aer. Like other offerings from the brand’s catalog, the sling avoids anything excessive or unnecessary in the pursuit of absolute functionality. It’s simple and understated, yet in a way that’s unquestionably sharp. That is to say, you can tell that function comes before form with the City Sling 2, but Aer’s characteristically minimalist execution works to the bag’s advantage.

A lot of this comes from the City Sling 2’s compact design. Measuring just 4.75″ by 13″ by 3.5″, it’s large enough to hold bigger items like phones, water bottles, and packable jackets, yet small enough that it won’t inhibit your motion. And here’s the thing: despite weighing in at under a pound, it offers a spacious 2.5L of storage capacity. Around the outside, the bag comes decked out with Aer’s trademark oversized YKK zippers, a set of tasteful anodized aluminum hardware, and a cutting-edge Fidlock fastener . The City Sling 2 may be rugged in build, then, but it’s also incredibly refined in its appearance.

Materials & Hardware

First-Rate Fittings

The Aer City Sling 2 comes in a variety of different fabrics, including 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon, 900D Ecoya eco-dyed polyester, and VX-42 X-Pac sailcloth. Of the three, the Cordura and the X-Pac are — by far — the most popular; however, you can’t go wrong with the muted grey of the Ecoya option either. It’s also worth noting that the only differences the X-Pac model brings lie in its use of material, interior lining (subtle grey nylon vs. high-vis orange ripstop, respectively), and reflective pulls. What’s more, it features an additional AquaGuard zipper at the main closure.

With the X-Pac bag by Dimension-Polyant (like the one we had in for test), you’re not only getting a lighter base fabric but also improved weather resistance. When combined with the waterproof zips at the front and top of the bag, the result is a sling that offers a nearly iron-clad defense against the elements. In any case, the X-Pac exterior and high-vis orange interior give the City Sling 2 an elevated aesthetic that’s on-trend with much of what’s currently popular in streetwear. It’s an ultra-premium look that feels even better in-hand.

On the other hand, the 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon used in the ‘standard’ City Sling 2 is an equally respectable option in its own right. Sure, it doesn’t offer quite the same degree of element-proofing as that of the X-Pac bag, but it’s chock full of performance benefits, too. For one, it’s the same textile used in military body armor, so you better believe that it boasts superior long-term abrasion resistance and hard-wearing dependability. We’ve used some of Aer’s Cordura bags as our personal carry for some time now, and we can confidently say that they’ll stand up to practically anything you could possibly throw at them.

Regardless of which material your bag is made from, know that Aer has fitted the City Sling 2 with some of the toughest hardware in production today. With each bag, you’re getting waterproof YKK AquaGuard zips, aircraft-grade aluminum tension locks, and a handy magnetic Fidlock fastener. Compared to the traditional buckle and plastic snaps used in the original City Sling, the new hardware makes for a marked upgrade. Beyond giving the City Sling 2 a classy look, it’s a combination that’s far more durable, promising years of reliable wear.

Internal Organization

An Intuitive User Experience

The City Sling 2 may be small in size, but that’s not to say that it’s lacking in capacity. On the contrary — Aer revised the original design such that it now boasts a generous 2.5L of storage. While a mere 0.1L extra might not sound like much on paper, the bag now features a wider footprint that makes it much more accommodating — especially of bulky or oddly-shaped items like water bottles. And besides, it comes with organizational provisions aplenty.

Inside the cavernous main compartment, the City Sling 2 features a series of elasticated dividers for keeping your carry safe and secure. On one side, Aer has fitted a single sleeve that’s perfect for packing away delicate items such as phones and sunglasses. In the middle, the bag offers a spacious cavity that’s large enough for everything from notebooks and pens to camera lenses and bottles of hand sanitizer. Rounded out by a set of stretchy mesh pouches for cords, charging banks, and headphones, it even comes with a small zippered pocket that’s great for stowing smaller essentials like SD cards, knives, and other easy-to-lose items.

Feel around the outside and you’ll find that Aer has fitted the City Sling 2 with a hidden back pocket for stashing valuable essentials such as wallets and passports. In addition to some extra security, it also gives the bag some added convenience — you can quickly reach these items without having to fumble through the inside of the sling or risk upsetting your organization. One of the best aspects of the City Sling 2, though, is that it sports a zippered front pocket with a built-in lanyard. Simply clip your keys to the beefy carabiner and you have almost instantaneous access — a game-changing feature for those who are constantly on the go.

Hiding In Plain Sight

As impressive as the City Sling 2 is from an organizational standpoint , it’s arguably even more comfortable to wear. For though the webbing strap doesn’t sport any additional padding, the bag’s small size and low weight (even when packed) mean that it rests against your body without getting in the way of your movement. Whether it’s worn front or back, it’s an easy sling to set and forget. There was absolutely no rubbing or pinching to speak of.

This is largely due to the anodized aluminum sliders found on either side of the buckle, as they make it effortless to achieve the right fit. A quick pull is all it takes to have the bag sized to your torso. As if that wasn’t enough, though, Aer has also designed the strap to cinch down for storage in the sleeve on the back of the sling. Because of the quick-grab handle found atop the City Sling 2, this means that the bag can conveniently double as a small tech organizer.

The most ingenious part about the strap, though, has to be the tension locks located on each side of the bag. No matter if you’re only bringing along the bare essentials or you’re stuffing the sling to full capacity, they make it quick and easy to compress the size. For those who find themselves in urban environments , the locks also make for an added element of theft protection — you can keep the bag tight and low-profile against your person.

Closing Thoughts

Constant Progress

More of an iterative refinement than it is an out-and-out overhaul, the City Sling 2 is nevertheless an exceptional EDC-ready bag. For even though it’s not a drastically different silhouette, Aer has given its best-selling sling some subtle but impactful upgrades. The wider design greatly improves the bag’s storage potential, and the thoughtful internal organization means that it fares far better when carrying larger items. Moreover, the new hardware gives the bag some added aesthetic appeal as well as some extra long-term durability. Whether you consider the extra coin of the X-Pac model ($109 vs. $89) worth it will depend on your particular needs and tastes. However, we’ll be the first to tell you: the City Sling 2 is a certifiable buy in our book. A fitting successor to an EDC icon , Aer’s bag is a sling that still reigns supreme.

It’s been almost two years of setbacks and there are still fights ahead of us, but we can all agree that travel is high on our list of things to do when things somehow get back to normal. And while most of us aren’t taking to the roads and the skies just yet, it can’t hurt to prepare with some awesome new travel essentials. Their latest products to join their X-Pac stable are the latest versions of their Travel Sling and Dopp Kit , giving everyone the option to add the high-performance material to their travel ensemble.

If you’re unfamiliar with X-Pac, it’s a a highly durable and waterproof layered laminate material designed to withstand the harshest conditions built by Dimension-Polyant, a company that builds racing sailcloths by trade and figured they’d make an excellent product fabric as well. It’s made an appearance on a number of Aer bags over the years, but now the company is aiming to make it as accessible as possible to regular consumers as a premium option for all their bags moving forward—no limited edition drops, raffles, or extra hoops to jump through to be able to own your favorite model in X-Pac.

The latest duo to get the X-Pac treatment are the Travel Sling 2 and Dopp Kit 2. The Travel Sling 2 is sized right for the times when you aren't trying to one-bag it abroad. It has 12 liters of capacity for your essentials, and comes with a well-considered design that helps you use that space wisely. It starts with the padded laptop sleeve with a soft lining that cushions up to a 16" laptop or tablet computer.

The main compartment also features lots of internal organization spaces including mesh and zip pockets that allow you to keep smaller gear, accessories, and tech items from flopping around the bag as you move from place to place. And for your quick access needs, there's a small dedicated pocket on the exterior of the bag that can keep your travel documents, payment cards, and other critical items ready within reach at a moment's notice.

The Dopp Kit 2 is Aer’s take on the classic travel accessory, with 2.6L of space across two compartments to store your hygiene essentials. One compartment has slots for your toothbrush and other lengthwise implements paired with a stretchy mesh pocket, while the other has elastic webbing to hold your liquids and other preparations. Rounding out the Kit is an external zip pocket for quick access, a vertical slot for holding your toothbrush upright, and a handy grab-and-go handle for toting the Dopp Kit as a whole.

Wherever your travels take you, both packs are built to last thanks to the use of robust X-Pac and Aer’s usual quality combination of hi-vis interiors, YKK zippers, and Duraflex hardware for a comprehensive and robust construction inside and out. Check them out at the links below.

Scenery Review : Moscow City XP by Drzewiecki Design

• drzewiecki design

Recommended Posts

You fly for hours, anticipating your arrival, wanting to take in the area and the views of another country far away from your departure airport. The airport and the area you leave from is detailed and visually full, and you know you have a great airport scenery waiting for you at the other end of the flight, then when you arrive...

...  Nothing, but flat plain emptiness and the same boring standard X-Plane basic scenery, worse there is no OSM (Open Street Map) data in the tile either, so there is no road or autogen detailing in there as well, just well nothing.

When Drzewiecki Design released their UUEE Sheremetyevo Airport XP , I loved it because it was like a visitor from the Cold War past, the Soviet era, and it was also great scenery and great choice of a destination to fly to from any of the capitals of Europe...  but that was it, just this great airport in the middle of nothingness, bland....   zero ville.

Now Drzewiecki Design has released "Moscow City"  a scenery package to compliment their UUEE Sheremetyevo, and boy how much a difference this release has done to this totally boring area.

To get the full first impression effect I flew JARDesign's A320neo from EFHK Vatnaa, Helsinki to UUEE Sheremetyevo which is flight Finnair AY153 which is a daily 9.25am service.

First Impressions

I was surprised to start picking up scenery still quite away out from central Moscow, as I approached my 6000ft transition altitude. Here there was buildings and houses and the physical visual notes you were arriving somewhere.

Looking hard at the horizon through the A320's windows and you could see the iconic silhouette of Moscow city.

The scenery provides lite versions of all Moscow's Airports, this is UUWW Vnukovo, which was easily recognisable as you flew over. As you fly closer to the centre of the city the density of the objects below becomes quite heavy as the landscape fills in. You have all kinds of infrastructure including, blocks of flats, tower blocks, factories, housing, skyscrapers and almost everything that makes up an urban landscape, in all there is 2000 custom-made buildings that makes up this impressive scenery.

A note here in that you don't get that rolling as you move feeling effect where as it just suddenly appears in front of you and then quickly disappears behind as soon as you have flown out over the area. There is a slight effect of that as there has to be, but only in the far distance and as you can see from the images the views in every direction are widespread and visually it is very good to excellent.

The "Seven Sisters" or "Stalinist skyscrapers" built from 1947 to 1953 are all in the scenery with their "Wedding Cake" architecture or officially  Russian Baroque               - Gothic style. Most famous is the Moscow State University, front and centre of the image below.

Central Moscow is excellent and extremely realistic, and you really need a travel guide to pick out the landmarks and detail, but it is hard to miss the Red Kremlin complex  and St Peter's square from the air.  Both sides of the aircraft is visually full until you have crossed right over the city.

I am not a fan of the generated 3d OSM scenery, but this is very good in blending in perfectly with the X-Plane default scenery and giving you a smooth transition from country to urban and back again with great realism.

Over the city and turning north towards Sheremetyevo, another Moscow airport UUMU Chkalovsky is represented on the turn.

The city skyline is now easily visible on landing at Sheremetyevo, and that really helps in the arrival factor, more so in that the cities building infrastructure spread now comes up and around the airport to fill the gaps to the city itself, and making the original  Sheremetyevo scenery that was so open and lonely in the old X-Plane view is now a big part of the whole in this combination. No doubt it really brings this always good scenery now alive and very usable.

Sheremetyevo Airport

Before we move on to the city itself. It is important to note the area around UUEE Sheremetyevo itself.

Compare the large image above to the earlier image at the start of this review to see the amount of change there is around UUEE Sheremetyevo with the addition of this Moscow City package. The two sceneries are of course meant to be used together, and in reality it would look odd if you had Moscow City scenery installed without the Sheremetyevo scenery included to fill out the northern areas. A highlight is that both sceneries together form a single whole, as the areas between the airport and the central city area are well filled in and that gives you a huge area of coverage and the full visual aspect.

To get a closer lower look at the Moscow Center I commandeered Dreamfoil's lovely Bell 407.

There is a 4.000km² total area covered with this scenery here, and you have expect some sort of building replication to cover all that ground. There is of course but as well in the fact there is also enough variations as to not keep it all interesting and not obviously visually obvious.

The closer you go to the central area, the variations in the buildings change there in style and density as well. And then more of the iconic buildings start to appear as you get closer in again to the middle. The business district is excellent, with a lot of business towers and the more modern futuristic skyscraper architecture that stands out in every view point in eye scans across the city.

The more recent is in tune with the more older Stalinist era that makes up the Moscow skyline.

The Kremlin Complex and the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (St Basil's) is excellently represented and so is "Red Square"

There are Orthodox churches everywhere and all the big icons in the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Grand Arena of the Central Lenin Stadium, Otkrytive Arena and department stores, museums and power stations and more....

I did have issues with many buildings floating, including the Kremlin. I tried both "Runways follow terrain contours" on and off with no flattening of the objects and there is no information in the manual either on how to fix the problem.

Night lighting is very good, yes there is again a repeatable pattern to the majority of the hundreds of the apartment blocks that does stand out, but the more individual buildings do all have that personal touch and some buildings look really very good.

The highlight here is the business district which looks magnificent and is very realistic from any direction at night as is the lit Stadium.

Although away from the central area the Ostankino Tower that stands 540.1 metres (1,772 ft) tall, and is the tallest freestanding structure in Europe and it looks great at night and is a very good position indicator from the air from any direction.

Included Moscow Airports

As noted also included in the scenery are seven airports and several helipads.

UUWW Vnukovo

The futuristic Vnukovo International is very good for a lite version, with great terminals and lots of small detailing. Only thing missing is the static aircraft and a bit more ramp equipment, but otherwise it is highly usable.

UUDD Domodedovo

The oldest of Moscow's International airports is Domodedovo. Again it is quite devoid of static aircraft and I am not crazy about the blue terminal glass work, but it is still a very workable scenery to use and has a lot of well made objects.

UUBW Zhukovsky

Zhukovsky was a major aircraft testing facility since the  cold war years, with most of the major Russian Experimental Design Bureau's having facilities here. It is also now used by the Ministry of Emergency Situations! and cargo carriers. It was also used as a test site for the Soviet Buran  reusable Spacecraft because it has the world's second longest pubic runway at at 5,402 m (17,723 ft). Mostly it is a collection of very large hangars but has a lot of static aircraft in storage.

UUMO Ostafyevo International Business Airport

A former military airbase. Ostafyevo features a new modern glass terminal, and caters primarily to business aviation.

UUMU Chkalovsky

Chkalovsky is a military logistics airport that is famous for it's support for the Russian Space program and transport to Star City and the Yuri A. Gagarin State Scientific Research-and-Testing Cosmonaut Training Center. Yuri Gagarin left here on his final flight before crashing by the town of Kirzhach.

UUBM Myachkovo Airport

Myachkovo is a small General Aviation Airport that is owned by the Finpromko company. Cargo aircraft up to the size of the Ilyushin ll-76 freighter can also use the airport.

UUMB Kubinka

Kubinka has been a significant Russian military airbase and large airshows are held here to show off the Russian military might.

There is also provided UUU1 Kremlin Airport, within the Kremlin walls, but I couldn't get it to work? There are two pads in H1 and H2.

Your first thoughts after reviewing this excellent Moscow scenery is not with this actual package. You then wish that you could have this extensive scenery at London, Rome, Madrid, Berlin and the list could go on with any of your favorite European Cities, and don't count a load in the Middle East and Asia. But a London scenery like this would certainly be a godsend in our X-Plane world. Drzewiecki Design has already done Warsaw and Manhattan, so there is always hope.

It is not cheap either and you need to add in their UUEE Sheremetyevo scenery package on top of that as well. But you get an awful lot of ground covered here for your money, with the area covered here that is extensive...  huge and flying into Moscow will never be the same again.

A few areas to note in one that in my case a few of the buildings floated, the download is huge load at 1.4gb and this Russian area is not the best for navigation aids and programming FMS units as most waypoints are not recognised. Most of the airports ILS coordinates also have to checked and recalibrated (Drzewiecki Design do provide all the correct coordinates) so there is a little work to do to set up repeat services but the work is worth the results.

Not only is the actual Moscow city and all it's buildings supported, you also get seven (if lite versions) of Moscow's other airports included as well, but the framerate processing of all this huge amount of objects and scale is pretty good to excellent. Framerate does hurt more on a lower (helicopter) level and certainly you need a computer with a little extra power is in no doubt required, but overall for the size of the area the scenery is extremely efficient.

Yes I was impressed by this Moscow City Scenery, as this once very barren area of X-Plane is now a very attractive repeat destination as nothing can give you a greater fulfilment than seeing your destination appear in the distance and then give you a huge visual experience as you fly over and approach your destination.

Moscow City certainly delivers that and more...  Just more sceneries like this please!

Thank you for this very thorough (as always) review. I just bought it (it's on sale) and have only one disappointment so far: Red Square has no ILS or any landing aids at all for that matter. And what a nightmare of an approach! Also I was hoping the package would include an add-on that gives my c172 a big cup holder for my Stoli. Otherwise the scenery is gorgeous. What a country!
