    I just received it and packed it with my electronic essentials. Basically, I really dig the build quality and the internal layout. I put a microfiber cloth in the small zipper area, some chargers, dongles and cables in the main area, and a pen behind the Aer logo.
    A few points I want to add to your review:
    - I actually like that the flap is not super flush as it makes accessing it easier, but it still doesn't open itself if I don't want to.
    - Even though the zips are really smooth, it requires two and sometimes three pulls in order to fully open, as they always get stuck in the final "turn".
    I'm really happy that I made an order, and as always, Aer did not disappoint.

      Great points Tom, and I agree - the lack of flush-ness has grown on me. Aer nailed it again!

    I have the larger AER cable kit x-pack edition and I love it! However I think this is perfect to use with AER bags since I can use the bag’s internal organization for larger things like my laptop charger, mouse and other bulky items and the smaller things I carry can be in this pouch. Love the videos man, keep it up!

    • @Nomads.Nation

    Still using this pouch every day more than a year later. Definitely the best tech pouch for my needs. It fits my power bank, mouse, USB hub, some cables, charger, e-reader and external SSD drive perfectly, there is a little pocket or sleeve for each item, it always stands up, opens up really nicely, and isn't too bulky like my Thule tech pouch which is really boxy. Great materials and design.

    You are one of my favourite channels for reviews - informative and entertaining IMO. I love your 'best bags' videos as it's not a top 5, but a best recommendation for minimal, travel, business, etc. Wondering if you can do the same for pouches - best for home office on the road, minimal, photographer, etc. something like that. Also, love that you are doing other EDC gear aside from packs and slings - I'd like to see some on dopp/toiletry kits - that's another thing you can drop a fair amount of money on surprisingly. Just some thoughts - keep up the great content!

    good review - that loop could have been on the other end so that your maneuver to hold pouch / loop with one hand and open with the other would work for a righty (vs. how you had to do it lefty, which most people won't do). Would have added to the pouch, but that would mean reversing the zipper, and in that case the zipper would be backwards as most people would expect it to open from left to right. So it seems the zipper won out in that decision. keep up the great reviews.

I got an early sample, it’s currently on Kickstarter, and we’ll be publishing our review in around 8 hours. Aside from that, Bellroy Desk Caddy and Evergoods CAP2

    Great review video. Being going through a few of you vids recently and joining the AER experience of late with the City Pack Pro Ultra @1.08kg, which is pretty dope.
    I have the cable kit 3, which is too big for the front section of the CPP, so goes inside the clam shell.
    I have odds and ends like airplane adopters, Apple camera adapters, random business card and dac dongles. Due to CPP’s minimal front admin section, I would like a tech pouch to put those things in.
    Will this slim pouch fit or be a tight fit in the admin panel section of the CPP? Otherwise, not ideal, I may need to go for the spilt (with not pockets inside).
    Thanks. Gil.

      That seems like a tough one- one bag for every day carry for a year/two PLUS being big enough to bring a significant amount of clothes. Hmm. personally i would use a suitcase for my clothes and an EDC for living there. I think the closest one bag solution would be the peak design travel pack, because it can compress down to 35 L but tis still going to be a bit of a pain in the ass for every day carry... Aaron, what do you think?

      Thanks for the love Brenda! I think that this depends on how much stuff you are bringing. If you can get away with a large backpack, then the Tortuga Outbreaker might be a great option, but if you are packing a TON, then a suitcase might be better. I don't think you'll find a perfect pack that will be able to help you move across the world as well as be an EDC. Maybe just focus on getting a cheap suitcase to get your shit to Canada, then get an AWESOME EDC for your daily life. What do you think?

      The Black Ember forge might be a good choice if you are going to try all in one - it expands - but I agree with Aaron as well, might be better suited with just a good suitcase, and a good EDC pack in the 25L range ... for weekly travel I typically just have a roller packed with packing cubes, and then my Boundary Errant as my EDC there (although I'm starting to get into slings :) )
