Notes from our data check
Brand: 'Length: 21.5" (54.5 cm) | Width: 13" (33 cm) | Depth: 9" (21.5 cm) | Volume 35 L | Weight 4.12 lbs'; 'Padded, suspended laptop pocket with soft lining (fits up to 16" laptop)'. CONFLICT on the brand page: 9 in = 22.9 cm, not 21.5 cm; both stored as published. SUPERSEDED: Aer's page says 'There is a newer version of this item: Travel Pack 4 35L' (already in the catalog). It is still sold at $249 (Navy and Olive in stock, Black and Gray sold out). Amazon not checked. Aer's Duffel Pack 3 (named in the brief) was dropped: it is a 21.4 L gym/work bag. Derived values: kg from lb.
