After 4 years, Aer just launched their new Travel Kit 3. I compare it to the Travel Kit 2, their Dopp Kit 3, make size and fabric option recommendations, and share why I feel like they took the best each had to offer to create the ultimate toiletry bag (for a lot of people).

Wolf, you turned me on to the Aer Simple Kit for my Dopp. Works like a charm. For deodorant: I use the small GoTubs. I can fit over 4 months of deodorant in 2 tubs. These stack up right next to a 60ml contact lens solution. Since I am 100% nomad, this Simple Kit was the lightest I have found. This carries everything I need except a few liquids which I separate for TSA. Another great video. Thanks!

Muji has these little porcelain toothbrush stands that I take with me on every trip. You can “plop” the toothbrush right in and it’s taking up almost no space.

Great review, as always. I've been waiting for this drop. I just ordered it (+1k worth of stuff 😅) through your link.

Looks pretty sleek and well made as all Aer stuff, love that it has all that quality of life upgrades!

But as I use it as a place for my regular travel and stationary toiletry stuff, and also as a first-kit aid with bandages, disinfectant, bandaids, etc. I have to stay with the Travel Kit 2 🫶🏻

If they release a version with more space I would love it! Great content!

These are quite sleek, but I'll be sticking with my TK2 for now. The swiveled hook helps so much with hanging versatility, the exterior toothbrush holder has an actual bottom that won't allow a slimmer brush to slip out, the little piece of fabric on the interior covers your toothbrush and/or razor head, and that back pocket is amazing for quickly accessing/stowing items when the bag is closed. A bit of a head scratcher as to why they omitted these. Small details, but they add up to me. Still a great looking kit, though.

Yesss this looks perfect. I just checked out both the dopp kit 3 and travel kit 2 at the aer store in nyc and literally was thinking i wish they could merge the hanging feature of the travel kit with the standability of the dopp, with something in between size wise. this looks to be it.

Dang it! I just grabbed a great deal on a travel kit 2. It seemed like the perfect hanging Dopp kit for me. I guess I just need to buy this and have like 8 toiletry kits. 😂 This honestly has to stop.
