AeroPack Cargo

Already used it on a bike packing trip - I wish I had gotten the quick release option, or else it’s screwed onto the bike, which makes it difficult to remove and add your things at night. But I kept all my things in a bag to make it a bit easier.

I wish it had been included in the price, or more clear the consequences of not getting the quick release

I am thrilled with the Tailfin Aeropack. I recently used it for the first time on a 330 mile gravel trip and it was a major improvement over my Ortlieb seatpost packs. There is no sway whatsoever, you can access your items from the top without removing the pack, and the weight (carbon version) is extremely low. I love the fact that I can remove the pack in a matter of seconds. It folds up and easily fits in my airplane luggage. It is totally waterproof, having tested it through several storms. The axle system is genius and very easy to use. My only complaint is the zippered pockets on the side are useless to me, and are covered by the straps anyway. For items I need to reach quickly, I use the bag under my top tube.

I myself opted for the Aeropack and the bags that you can mount on the front fork. The quality of the bags seems high-quality and I find the mounting excellent! It is quick and easy (although you have to do it a few times to know how to do it best) and it is really secure. Really well done! There is also a downside. If your Aeropack is well filled, the tension straps slide off too easily in my opinion. Tailfin should come up with something for that. Packing things smarter also helps of course (putting them a little higher on the sides than in the middle). So it is certainly not insurmountable. All in all I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I ordered the Aero pack for stability and plenty of storage. The whole set up is so sleek, I’m really impressed
