Day Pack 2 is still a good backpack and I got the X-Pack version. The only thing I like about the new version is that it has a hidden pocket for an AirTag.
DP2 is 14.8L vs DP3 14L. (Seems like a downgrade here) DP3 added a side handle, added a smart tag pocket, added a sleeve to the front compartment, but removed the d-ring on the strap, removed the mesh pocket on the front compartment.
@@microzal honestly, the changes feel like a downgrade. They took away more features, but added so little, and also the dp2 and dp2 xpac is super reduced price now on their website. I can't decide 😫
"Really who's carrying pen's anymore?" Me, not because I use them, but because my Tech Pack 1 has the two slots for them hahahaha
I'm upset cause I just got the Aer Day Pack 2 approximately 3 weeks ago.

Sorry bro. I got mine in August last year so not that bad. I wouldve picked this one too.
I bought mine in November last year, I feel your pain
Update: Since the Day Pack 2 is now $43 cheaper since I bought mine. Aer refunded me the difference after I reached out to them.
That's great! Thank you for the update.
Can you fit a small camera cube in the main compartment?
it looks like TECH PACK 3, but I appreciate the different reviewer and different opinion.
outside of the padding colour, they look exacty the same...
Tech Pack is essentially a Day Pack with a separate laptop compartment. It's been like that from the very beginning
the tech pack 3 is also slightly larger than the day pack (primarily in the main section)
Is the sterum strap removable?
I have the same question, is the sternum strap removable without tampering with the backpack?
what's the difference from the previous generation. ?
Check out the video

Yeah it is. You slide it all the way up the rail, and then you can wiggle it out
What are the main difference compared to Aer Day Pack 2?

DP3 added a side handle, added a smart tag pocket, added a sleeve to the front compartment, but removed the d-ring on the strap, removed the mesh pocket on the front compartment.
Do you think reducing 0.8L for exhange of that, plus improving harness, and widen the front & main compartment opening is worth it compared than DP2 ?

@@gundam0816 I would get the DP2 in Xpac on sale. I love Xpac or maybe an Able Carry day pack :)
The zipper running into the water bottle pocket is a bad compromise. They should have lost the pocket, those are overrated anyways.
