- The original AER Tech Pack was one of my all time favorite EDC backpacks. Today we're looking at the new Tech Pack 2 and I'll be sharing my thoughts and determining if they improved upon the original minimalist tech bag.

What’s your bag of choice these days?
Wandrd prvke, which doesn't get much use these days :)
I use Aer Day Pack 2 instead! That's also an amazing backpack and suitable for those who carry predominantly documents and simple EDCs
@ron Still haven’t tried a Wandrd bag, I feel like I hear about them quite a bit!
MY NEW "OUTDOOR PRODUCTS", "ESSENTIAL", "2-LTR CAPACITY FANNY PACK", THAT IS MY NEW MURSE :) , AND IT FITS ALL MY CANCER MEDICATION,AND MY FLOWER MEDICATION, QUITE EASILY!!!!!! AND SLASH EVERYTHING ELSE I NEED ANYDAY DAY-2-DAY!!!!!!
Have been a Chrome Industries guy for over a decade now. And, only ever owned one backpack until about 6 months go. They just last forever, and the old one is still going.
I love how excited your cat is for the new box!
He demands to inspect every package that comes into our apartment, haha. AER ships their bags in cloth drawstring bags as well, he’s still using it to nap in months later 😂
Hi Josh I love the look of your studio. Great back pack review
Thanks so much, glad you’re enjoying it! Been making some updates and have been really happy with them too.
Thanks for the video Josh!
No problem, thanks for watching and supporting!
I've got the day pack and the day pack 2 by aer, I think they are both awesome but the improvements on the second version are super awesome, especially the external water bottle pocket and the luggage pass through. Btw if you need a bit bigger bag the teck pack version 2 by aer is a best choice too
Haven’t tried the daypack, but I can imagine it’s great in a lot of the same ways! Was so happy to see the v2 improvements didn’t take away from all that I loved in the original. Thanks for sharing!
That's a great looking pack. Very low key look with lots of functionality. Have a great weekend!
Definitely a favorite of mine in the looks department too. Have a good weekend also!
I have V1 and carry it daily. Love it. I dig the updates they did to V2 but it's missing the long bottom pocket in the 1st compartment. I use that for the book I'm reading at the moment
I still use both but can’t really picture what you mean with which pocket that changed. Both amazing bags though! The V1 was so good I probably wouldn’t recommend anyone replace it anyway even with the positive changes they made. Thanks for sharing your input!
Very helpful review!
Glad to hear that!
I've probably watched 15 other reviews on this bag, but your video is the only one I felt represented the bag the best. I love your chill attitude man! Also I love my Synapse 25, but there are a couple boxes it doesn't quite tick, such as standing on it's own and not having a laptop compartment. I usually lean it up against the wall at work and at home, but if I ever take it anywhere else, it's a pain relying on something for it to lean against, which isn't always an option. I bought their MacBook Air cache, but couldn't justify $50 just to have a solid place for the laptop without touching the bottom. (I found a deal on a new Bellroy sleeve and it does just fine) Also I like the dedicated internal water bottle pocket, but it definitely messes with the weight distribution and makes the bottom front part of the bag crumple in on itself, which probably leads to it not being to stand on it's own. Idk. I love the crap out of it, but it's just not quite the perfect end-all bag for me. The Tech Pack 2 is VERY close to being that, and your video made me inch that much closer to buying one. lol
So glad to hear the review was so helpful. Definitely a favorite bag of mine from everything I get to test, best of luck on the hunt!
This is my favorite too! I have the tech pack 1 and not sure there was really much of a difference other than the laptop sleeve. I am dying to AER to make a camera bag!!! For now I carry my SONY A7SIII in a the Peak Design bag and use this tech pack when I'm not carrying my camera.
Totally agree on the v1 vs v2, some nice updates but not worth upgrading if you already have the v1. Still gotta try the PD bag myself!
Hey do you know any places that sell it in Canada? Love the review!
The link I have in the description offers shipping to Canada!
Just got mine delivered. Loved it! Except the Laptop section is too tight because of the obstruction of the side handle. I love the side handle by the way, it's just not the best placement.
I can understand that for sure. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it otherwise!
Nice. Where do you buy it. Thanks
@@artventura3622 Got it at aer.com
I subbed the moment i saw your cat.
He’s the best!
If you don’t mind, how large is your laptop? Also this was a really lovely video to watch!
15”, should fit the new 16” MacBooks well too but I’d be skeptical of anything larger fitting. Appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed the video
@@joshfenn just got a 16 in MacBook Pro wondering if it would fit - love this bag, thx for the review!
I also have the Tech Pack 1 and have considered upgrading. The new version seems almost identical to the previous iteration so I’m admittedly not 100% convinced. Do you think it’s worth upgrading?
I’m all about the changes that they decided to make, but I would probably recommend that you just stick to your v1. The v2 just adds a bit of refinement, but is largely the same and probably not worth the price tag to upgrade without needing to because of damage or something along those lines. 👍
Would you recommend this for highschool? I've been looking at backpacks from aer and looking for one that's great for EDC that can last at least 6 years for highschool and college
The tech pack series would definitely be a good match for school, capacity is excellent without being too bulky and the organization is subtle but really useful. It’ll hold up well too, my original tech pack 1 is still being used daily by a friend after I got it in 2017/2018.
Do you think a mirrorless camera and a couple lenses (24-70 f2.8 size, roughly) could fit in the bottom of the main compartment, or would it be too tight?
It definitely could! I use this with a small camera cube that holds 2 lenses and my a7iii pretty regularly. It’ll be a tight fit with a laptop and the larger lenses but you should be fine.
@@joshfenn Awesome! That concern was all that was holding me back. Appreciate the response.
great carry on bag well overall bag for travel
For sure!
Sir can you post a review on what SAMSONITE backpack is the best to use for travel, college (Taking MBA course) and Business...I would appreciate it a lot...thank you so much...I love AER by the way specially this review that you did, I never thought Aer have 17liters backpack
I don’t have that bag but I’ll keep this in mind if I ever get the chance!
@@joshfenn thank you so Sir...appreciate it a lot for replying to my comment and so far what can you suggest a backpack in which I can also use or of big help for me since I will be traveling from Phillippines to Canada to take ng MBA Course and use the same backpack as a daily use as well...thank you so much and more power to you
So far this is my favorite among the EDC bags. I really love it. The only complaint I have is that the middle compartment is a bit cramped. A tech pouch will fit, but you will have to squeeze it in to fit it at the bottom, especially if your tech pouch is a bit bulky like the Peak Design Tech Pouch. Other than that, this bag is perfect.
Yeah I get that. I love the compact shape this v2 has for its outer profile, but it does make it a tight squeeze for some things. Definitely a favorite of mine as well though!
Can you fit a camera cube in one of the compartments?
For sure! It’s a bit snug with the split compartment style of this one but I’ve done it quite a few times. If you plan on always carrying a cube I might recommend one of their single compartment style of bags in its place.
THAT KITTY WAS LIKE "LET ME IN!!!!!!"= #ALLCATS LOL
😂
Hi Josh, im just learning about this good versatile fxn of this bag. Just wanted to know where to buy this Aer Tek bags. Thank you. And how much it is and how to tell if its original.
I actually have a link in the description directing to the aer website where you can purchase, I’m not sure if they sell elsewhere. They have both the tech pack and tech pack 2 available, you’ll be able to spot the differences from the page/item titles 👍 it’s $200usd as well. Hope this helps!
@@joshfenn thanks Josh. Yes found the link.
Hopefully someone can advise here regarding the front nylon after using the Aer Tech 2 for a long run, does it crack and break or gets wrinkled in the long run?
It’ll show some slight wear after a few years, but it’s extremely minimal in my experience. This one is still in my rotation years later and the tech pack one is still in great shape being used by a friend of mine.
Does it fit the 16 inches macbook pro? thank youuu
It does
Hello could you let us know the weight of the bag empty?
Forgot to cover that in the video! Comes in at 3.8lbs/1.7kg
the cat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s obsessed with this bag, I left it on my floor yesterday and he still keeps taking his naps in it 😹
Do you guys think this would fit a oculus quest 2?
Honestly not sure of the quest sizing to say for sure. There’s a pretty good amount of depth in the bag though so I’d imagine it’d work? Hopefully someone with a quest can chime in.
I'm searching a cool backpack for school. I like the design of this bag but It s too small for containing all the book. Can you suggest some bag to me?
Tough call! Most of the larger backpacks I’m more familiar with are more travel focused. The arcido faroe or the chrome bravo 3.0 I just reviewed are both quite large, I’d check those out! Chase reeves also has a ton of great reviews and I’m sure he’d have more to check out as well.
YOUR WHOLE BACKGROUND IS EXERIALTING!!!!!!!!!!!! REMINDS ME OF COAL MINERS :'( THEY DESERVE MORE THEN THEY GET :'(
I appreciate the support!
I came for the bag… but I stayed for the cat
😻😻😻
It is a stupid design they put the side handle on the opposite side of the bottle pocket when you put it on you luggage with a bottle in the pocket.
The bottle would probably block the handle if it were on the other side, but you bring up an interesting point
Cliff bars have too many calories.
Definitely a high calorie snack, good for the right situation but not for everyone.
Lmao it costs $210
