I'd watch a review of the updated Tech Pack.
Thank you for watching and I will definitely try to do my best to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
Like we've discussed before, SUPER happy to see the addition of the water bottle pocket on this pack. Seems like a very well-rounded backpack at a reasonable price.
Thank you for watching and definitely agree on the pricing, really great bag for this price point! :)
hi, how do you remove the sternum strap? thanks!
I'm anxious for the Tech Pack 2 review. I've been waiting for an in-depth review! Great video! (as always).
Thank you for watching and Im definitely hoping to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
Been a fan of my Day Pack and love the refinements the new one has. I noticed they removed the front compartment's slip pocket and then changed the two elastic pockets from the main compartment into a 3rd slip pocket to give more space on top of removing the internal water bottle pocket in exchange of an external. The fleece lining, floating laptop pocket, and all the little improvements make this very tempting to replace my original one since I was planning on picking up the new Slim Pack for lighter carry days.
Thank you for watching and glad to hear you have enjoyed using the original day pack! The improvements are definitely really nice and definitely a tough choice between that and the slim. that one looks pretty cool but maybe just a bit to minimal for me :) haha
Yes please. TechPack2
Thank you for watching and Im definitely hoping to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
Please review the tech pack 2 soon! Thinking of buying it very soon. Great videos btw!
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I’m glad the video was helpful and I will do my best to get one to review for sure!:)
The quoted capacity is 14.8L. You mentioned that its bigger than that, how much would you estimate it at?
Thank you for watching and good question! To me it feels closer to around 18l just based on how much the bag is able to hold. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
i loved v1, better looking shape and no external bottle holder (i like to have everything inside and it doesnt break the symmetricity of the bag)...
Thank you for watching and those are fair points!:)
Aer Tech pack 2 comparison would be great
Thank you for watching and I will definitely try to do my best to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
I was deciding between Bellroy Classic 2 and Aer day pack. Ended up getting the Bellroy since I like the looks better.
Prizefighter looks good too but the big logo and grey color on the straps bothered me.
Aer 2 looks great but the glossy front makes me prefer the Bellroy more.
Have you considered doing reviews on Tumi backpacks?
I ordered a Tumi Alpha Bravo Nellis backpack. I think it fits well in the EDC category but definitely more pricey. Worth taking a look!
Btw you should also check out the ISM backpack.
Thank you for watching and definitely a tough choice between this the bellroy and the prizefighter pack! Hope you enjoy using the bellroy a lot, I really like the look of that one and harness is great! Good suggestion on the tumi bags, I’ve heard some great things about them and I’ve never been crazy about the aesthetic but I would definitely want to try one out in the future!:)
I travel to Juneau, Alaska and waterproof is critical. Great review and very well organized bag.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I definitely agree, very solid bag overall!:)
Great review! New subscriber here. Still torn between this and the tech pack 2. Hope to see a comparison video between the two. Comparison of the Day pack 1 and 2 would be great to see too.
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I really appreciate the support! Will definitely do my best to get my hands on the tech pack 2 to test out soon as well!:)
Yeah I'm getting this. Thanks for the review
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! Definitely one of my favorite tech bags!:)
I'm honestly more curious about the Slim Pack than anything else (even though I'm going to probably get the Day Pack 2 myself as a matter of prudence) since I do find myself a bit charmed by its apparent degree of minimalism, and there's nobody reviewing it sufficiently in depth online yet. I'd just like to know what compromises it might make beyond the obvious less space/no bottle holder type stuff, like to say ability to stand upright or comfort of the carry without the back padding, etc.
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I don’t know too much about the slim just yet but it looks pretty interesting. Like you said, really minimal and I’d still likely Lena towards the day pack as well!
Yes please do a video on the tech pack.
Thank you for watching and I will have that video coming out soon!:)
Will you make a review for the updated tech pack as well?
Thank you for watching! And I will definitely do my best to get one to review!:)
Does anyone know if this can fit a 40 oz hydroflask? Doesn't matter if it's tight or not as long as it can fit in there all the way. It's diameter is 3.58" if that helps. Thanks!
Please review the new Tech Pack! You would have the only review of it.
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I’m in the process of testing it now so I should have the full review ready in the next few weeks!:)
Is the outside coated material a little less shiney than the original? Sometimes my day pack looks a little like a trash bag.
Thank you for watching and good question! I would say overall this is a little more matte, but still fairly shiny. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
AJS2001 but it’s a beautiful trash bag. Really diggin this bag
I am so torn between the aer day pack 2 vs the fit pack 3. for travel and carrying my laptop T_T any thoughts? the reason I'm torn between these two and not other models is because their size is smaller which I like.
I have the Tech Pack v1 and that thing is huge. That was my only gripe since I didn't mean to buy a travel pack. It's rated around 18 L, but I would say it's actually 26 L at least. I hope v2 is more compact. I'd love to see that video.
Thank you for watching! I agree the tech pack definitely felt bigger than 18l, the new version is a little more compact but still not 18l in my opinion even though it’s listed at 17 on the site, closer 22 based on what I’ve been able to fit in it. I should have the full review ready soon and I will he including a side by side with the original tech pack :)
Have the original day pack. Feel like.it will go up in value
As usual great review. I am very impressed with this bag, at $140 I think that's a very reasonable price point. I'm curious about that arcido packing cube you use, I love it. Looks like a good size, I want one. Is that the arcido medium packing cube? When I go to their site I can't tell. I want a cube I can fit a at least one pair of pants and one shirt into. Looks like you have more in your arcido cube though.
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I definitely agree on the price point, really good value overall for such a solid bag! And the packing cube I have here is the Oxna compression cube, definitely my favorite at the moment! It will be able to hold quite a bit, I normally have a few pairs of pants and shirts. If you pack a little more minimally it’s also nice that it’s double sided so you can store your used clothes separate from the clean ones. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer!:)
Can you help me decide between Aer Day Pack 2 and City Pack
Thank you for watching! Definitely a tough choice between the two and they have a pretty similar layout / capacity so it will primarily come down to aesthetic preference (personally I prefer the look of the city pack) and the city pack also has the additional zippered pocket on the front and a side carrying handle
thank you@@dannypacks
I'm looking to replace my ebags pro slim laptop backpack. It's too big and heavy for my liking. I'm considering the Aer Day pack 2, Titan X everyday backpack, and the timbuk2 Q 2.0 backpack. Which would you recommend?
Thank you for watching! I haven’t had a chance to use the Titan but it reminds a bit of the ridge backpacks which are pretty solid. I would probably lean towards either the day pack 2 (highest quality, great laptop protection and stands up on its own) or the timbuk2 q backpack (which might offer a little more space than the day pack)
Hi i am looking to see the updated tech pack review also.
Thank you for watching! I will do my best to get one to review as well!:)
Are there any other bags in this price range that do a good job standing upright? Very underrated feature that is super useful for working on the go, enough to convince me to pick this over the Flight Pack 2.
Thank you for watching and I definitely agree this is a nice feature to have! As far as other bags that stand this well, I can’t think of too many that are designed to actually stand up like this one is, but a few that have a more rigid shell and flatter bottom that did a good job were the standard luggage co daily and the Targus mobile VIP bag although I think the day pack is still a better all around bag than both. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer!:)
Is it worth upgrading from the DayPack version 1 to Version 2?
Thank you for watching and good question! I think that really depends on how much extra value the water bottle pocket and suspended and fleece lined laptop compartment will add. If those are two things that are super important for you in a daily bag it may be worth the upgrade. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
@@dannypacks Would you say the Daypack 2 is any roomier than the original? That's worth upgrading for me, the original Daypack was so contoured, its difficult to fit much of anything in it, not to mention even seeing what's inside. I'm looking for a slim minimal bag that is easy for EDC but could also fit a change of clothing or two if need be. Would the Tech Pack or Tech Pack 2 be a better option?
Great review, love your videos. Do you think the day pack 2 would fit a plastic lunch container comfortably? In addition to a 16" MBP, 11"iPad Pro , cable/dongle, pens and 1 notebook. Cheers
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback! I think that would depend on the volume of the lunch box. My guess is that with the items you mentioned it will be a pretty tight fit even for a smaller lunchbox since the bag is pretty slim and rigid. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
Would this be able to fit a hoodie? Not a thick heavyweight one, but just a pretty normal weight hoodie. I'm going to be fitting some cables and my wireless headphones in there too. I was wondering if I should choose this over the tech pack 2 since I won't use the laptop compartment.
Thank you for watching and good question! I think a hoodie could fit in the main areas but it might not leave too much space for anything else. If you can fit most of the other items in the front organization pocket you should be ok:)
Is there enough space for an iPad Pro in the main compartment with a MacBook, notebook, and ANC Headphones Case, or would the Tech 2 be a better fit for that set up?
Thank you for watching and good question! I think depending on the size of the headphone case and the notebook you could make it work and there would still be space in the front organizational area. With that being said the tech pack might give a little more flexibility and it’s nice that it has the additional padded sleeve that might be a good spot for your iPad. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bags!:)
Are you going to be reviewing the Tech Pack 2 as well?
Thank you for watching and Im definitely hoping to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
Excellent review! Would you recommend this over aer fit pack 2?
Thank you for watching and good question! Although I like the fit pack 2 a lot I do prefer this one overall as I like the aesthetic and the laptop compartment a little more and I like the fact it can stand on its own. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bags!:)
how does this compare to the AER flight pack 2? which one do you prefer between the day pack 2 and that?
Thank you for watching and good question! I like the aesthetic on the flight pack 2 a lot, but overall I prefer this one as I feel it is more comfortable and I like the laptop protection on this one a lot more. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bags!:)
Please review the AER tech pack 2 and compare with the Day Pack 2
Thank you for watching and thats a great idea, if I can get the tech pack to review I will definitely do some side by side shots with the tech pack!:)
@@dannypacks Cool. I will wait for that. From your experience, is Day Pack 2 better than Version 1
Ok after watching many many videos on AER products I am down to this one or the commuter brief as both should fit all I need. Which would you recommend? My biggest concern with the commuter is the short strap I keep hearing about. I would jump on the slim pack but there is no water bottle holder.
Thank you for watching! I think my perspective will be a little biased here as I generally prefer backpacks over briefs so I would lean towards the day pack 2 as it would be more comfortable for me to carry :)
@@dannypacks think I am convinced to go to a back pack what about day pack vs city pack?
can you fit a 15.6 inch gaming laptop in there?
dell g15 to be specific
Thank you for watching! Based on the website images and info for the laptop I believe this could fit but it might be pretty tight in the sleeve
Would love to see comparisons between techpack one and 2!!
Thank you for watching and I am definitely going to be taking a look at the tech pack 2 soon!:)
Hi.
Could you advise if I can carry a lunch-cylinder that's 9" tall and 6"wide, along with a 13" laptop, in this bag for work, and also use it for occasional hiking?
I really like this bag for its aesthetics and organization, but fearing may be small.
I have been carrying a Doughnut Macaroon(M) for the past 4 years. In it, I carry my laptop occasionally, my lunch-cylinder every weekday, and take it out for day hikes when the opportunity presents. Plus, miscellaneous items. Could you advise if Aer Daypack2 can do similar or better?
Much thanks.
btw, I 've been watching your videos bag after bag anything under 25L for the past few days. good stuff.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the videos have been helpful! What is the diameter of the lunch cylinder? For the width and height it should be able to fit but I would be a little worried of how thick it is. For the other uses you mentioned it should definitely work well! :)
Traveling Salseros
Thanks for your response.
The diameter is 6”.
🤞
Great video!!
Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback!:)
What is the volume of your CamelBak water bottle? Mine does not fit well.
Thank you for watching and good question! That water bottle is .6L / 20 fluid oz. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
Great review. Can a Macbook 16' fit in the laptop compartment?
Thank you for to watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I don’t have a 16 MacBook to officially test in the laptop sleeve but based on the amount of leftover space when I put in my 13 in MacBook I think the 16in should be able to fit in there ok!:)
I was waiting for you review about this bag before buying it. I'm also interested in a comparison with the tech pack 2 if you have the chance to get it too
Thank you for watching and I will definitely try to get a tech pack 2 to test out as well! If there’s any questions I can help answer in the meantime please let me know!:)
@@dannypacks Do you think that the day pack 2 is worth for a student? At university I usually carry a 15inch laptop with his charger, 2 books, a pencilcase, a bottle and a lunchbox
I was wondering if this can be used for highschool.
Thank you for watching! It can work but it’s fairly slim so it won’t be able to hold too many textbooks and folders, the tech pack 2 or 24l pro pack might be better options from aer
The Sternum strap is removable? how does that work?
Thank you for it watching and good question! The clips that attach the sternum strap to the bag have some slots that allow you to slide them out:)
Need review of the tech pack 2
Thank you for watching and Im definitely hoping to get a tech pack 2 to review as well!:)
How is this bag for a small binder or two and a small lunch thermos?
Thank you for watching and good question! I think it would depend on the thickness of the binders and the size of the thermos but I think it could start to become a bit tight since the bag is pretty slim especially if you plan on carrying a laptop as well. It might be worth checking out the tech pack 2 or the incase city commuter if you need a little bit more space. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bags!:)
Traveling Salseros Thank you for your help. I ordered the Day Pack 2 and have plans to return it if it’s too small. If it’s too small I will get the Tech Pack 2. Thanks for the reply and great content.
Could you review the newly released Aer Slim Pack? Thanks!
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! If I can get my hands on one I would be glad to do a video on it!:)
I like everything except that solid nylon facing which looks wrinkled. Should have went with ballistic
Thank you for watching! If you like the layout of this bag I recommend checking out the city pack which is a similar size but it doesn’t have that shiny exterior :)
@@dannypacks You SOLD me on the Aer Lunar Pack. Solves problem of "wrinkled nylon" look
I have day pack 1 worth upgrading?
Thank you for watching and good question! I think that depends on how important the laptop sleeve is for you. There are some other differences (stands up better on its own, top pocket has fleece lining, luggage pass through) but to me the laptop pocket being suspended and adding a fleece lining is the big upgrade. If that’s not as big of a deal the original version still holds up pretty well. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
This or Peak Design totepack? Can you review that one too?
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I haven’t had a chance to check out the tote pack yet but if I am able to get a unit to review I would be glad to test it out! Between the two just based on info on the peak design site I would lean a bit toward the day pack just because I prefer the aesthetic and in general I have found Aer harnesses to be a little more comfortable than peak designs in the past. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer!:)
Traveling Salseros i see, Aer for me looks good mainly when your daypack is full because when the backpack is not packed full, the front looks like garbage bag
Can you please do a comparison video of the nomatic and this?
Definitely a tough choice here! Do you mean the Nomatic backpack or travel pack (the expandable version)? Overall I like the aesthetic and build quality of this one a little better and it is slightly more comfortable but the Nomatic travel pack which is the one I recommend is a little more versatile as it has a lot of great organizational options, a comfortable and removable waist belt and the flexibility it has as a travel bag with its expand ability is really useful. Hope that helps a bit and if there are any additional questions I can help answer please let me know!:)
Traveling Salseros Great! Yes the Nomatic travel pack. I agree with the flexibility and the expand ability it can offer. I’ve used that bag in my recent travel and it’s superb. I have that but I always feel that It’s kinda overkill for my day to day office work. That’s why I’m thinking of getting a smaller bag. I’m eying on this bag (Aer daypack 2). But not sure if I should opt to Tech pack 2 or not. Any advise on that? :)
Good question! I can definitely understand wanting something a little smaller or more minimal for edc. I won’t know for sure until I test the tech pack 2 but it seems like it might be a little big for what you’re looking for and the day pack may be a better option. from what I saw with the original tech pack, it’s silhouette will be about as large as the Nomatic.
Traveling Salseros Oh Got it! If that’s the case I guess I have to go with the Day pack. Thank you so much for your advise. Though I already have my personal choice between the two, I’ll still wait for your video review of the Tech pack 2 because you’re video is so much fun to watch and very thorough and informative. Thanks again! Kudos!
Is it enough for short travel like 1-2 days ?
Thank you for watching and good question! I think it will depend on how much you normally pack for that amount of time, but for me I think it would definitely be enough space for that amount of time. Hope that helps a bit and please let me know if there are any additional questions I can help answer about the bag!:)
You really gotta upgrade to some Sony’s or Bose
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! I have definitely been curious about Sony’s newer offerings, so far I have stuck with beats as I like a heavier bass sound and for some reason their noise cancellation is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t make me dizzy:) haha
you walking like an npc
