Notes from our data check
Brand: 'Height: 17.5" (44.5 cm) Width: 12" (30.5 cm) Depth: 7" (18 cm) Volume 20L Weight 2.74 lbs'; 'Padded, suspended laptop pocket with soft lining (fits up to most 16")'. No interior/exterior wording, so measure is unstated. kg converted. Price $199 (no compare-at), in stock. CONFLICT: a third-party review (nomadsnation.com, City Pack Pro 2 20L) lists 16.5 x 11.5 x 7.5 in; the brand figure is used. Pack Hacker's pick names the City Pack Pro 2 without a size; Aer also sells a 24L version ($219), which is not this record. Amazon: listing B0HGZT74RX is titled 'City Pack Pro 2 20L' but a search extract says it is currently unavailable, so sold is null.
