Aer City Sling 2 | 1680D CORDURA Ballistic Nylon and YKK zippers-it’s as Aer as it gets. Even when empty, it doesn’t collapse like a wet paper bag. The way they’ve put together 1680D CORDURA Ballistic Nylon and YKK zippers makes the whole sling feel very structured. 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 City Sling 2 shares most of its DNA with the rest of Aer’s lineup, both in terms of aesthetic and material. In the meantime, let’s put that Fidlock to use and buckle in this is a sequel worth tuning in to. If you want a visual breakdown, check out our City Sling 2 vs City Sling comparison video. There’s actually a lot to go through, as we’ll be making some comparisons with the original City Sling.

We think the improvements make this a better sling overall, and Aer’s even given it pouch-like capabilities. It’s grown in size, slimmed down its strap, got a shiny new Fidlock magnet, and is now more comfortable to wear.

Such is the case of the subject of this review: the City Sling 2. Aer City Sling 2 | It’s the follow-up to the hit single. 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. They make the progression easy to track, sort of like a baby’s growth chart. They release a product, and the immediate follow-up gets a number affixed at the end. Among the many things we’d like to praise Aer for, it’s for the straightforward naming convention they’ve adopted.
