What buyers say?
What Google knows about it.
Beyond the video critics, Google pools 1,596 buyer ratings of the City Pack Pro 2 from across retailers — a far wider, if blunter, jury. Here’s the shape of that opinion.

What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect (Build quality & QA) aligns with critics' note that the bag may not stand straight consistently and can develop uneven creases.
In their words
“Delivery after 2 days of purchase. Exterior material is excellent. Shoulder pads are very comfortable. Doesn’t feel like a 1.3kg bag while carrying it. Bag can stand on itself. Many compartments. Doesn’t feel too heavy or bulky after putting in A4 file box, 2 pencil case, umbrella, 1.3kg laptop, and a Hydroflask 32Oz travel bottle.”

“This backpack is made of great materials. It seems really sturdy. It has a great number of pockets and organization. But the QA process could be a bit more strict from Aer. The backpack I got doesn't stand straight even when full. It tilts to one side. Also one side of the backpack has a permanent crease that causes it to fold in while the other side stays nice and rigid.”
