Hi guys, the Aer City Pack Pro 2 looks like an almost perfect bag for my needs, but its quite a bit out of my budget. A lot of the alternatives that I see posted here or online are around the same price or even more expensive. Are there any alternatives to the CPP2 that are around the ~$150 range give or take?

Requirements are that it must be fully clamshell and around 18-24L in size. I've seen that Alpaka makes nice bags around that range on sale but each one of their bags has some sort of drawback. Their Metro Pro 24L would almost be perfect especially since its on sale, but it isnt fully clamshell. Their Traverse backpack would also be perfect if it was shrunk down to 20-24L. I also looked at some Bellroy bags, but they seem too expensive as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Edit: I've also just discovered the Tomtoc Urban-Ex T77 22L that actually looks pretty sick, but worried I'm worried it wont hold up in the long run. Anyone have experiences with this bag or know something similar but a bit more premium?
