I’m a simple man. I see a Chase Reeves upload, I put on my Peak Designs Travel Bag and wool boxers, and watch it at 1.5x speed while walking around my suburban living room.
My DayPack version 2 just arrived today! I had the version 1, and I agree that the inside fabric is a big step up. I feel like the bag was almost perfect before, but the updates made it perfect for me!
Is it still just barely too small? My day pack 1 is just a HAIR too small... The new Tech Pack looks to be smaller than the OG, is that the perfect sized bag for a slim, minimal EDC that can also take a change or two of clothing into it while still remaining slim and minimal?
Bought the original Day pack like 1+ year ago.. but the liner of a strap broke. I reached out to Aer at the beginning of this week and their customer service was awesome. After I sent some info they sent me a Day pack 2 and I got it today. I didn't even expect a full replacement, let alone the updated version. Now that's some great service. This version fixes all the problems I had with the original Day pack. Would recommend!
Just got my Aer day pack 2 today. Very impressed. I was looking for 2 days for video reviews on the day pack 2 and nothing. I did not know it was pretty much just released. So I watched your video on the day pack 1 and went for the 2. Then look here you just posted this video today. I'm glad to know I made the right choice. I almost got the Peak Design zip 20, Boundry Supply Errant, or the Nomaic back pack updated new version. After the research the day pack 2 seemed to be the best choice. Thank you for this video.
You sold me on the NutSac Satchel 11 , I love it because it is made well, but also because I have to somewhat plan what I’m going to bring instead of throwing everything I own in a bag just because I can. A typical day includes an iPad, sun glasses, charger cable, battery bank, lip balm and water bottle. Thanks for the great content and stay groovy.
Im edcing the Peak Design Everyday 30l V2. Its got so much organization and it makes me feel way more organized then I actually am. Gotta love everything peak makes!
@@jaccoborggreve9285 yeah I actually was suprised at how big the 30liter actually is .. When it's fully packed it's extremely heavy. While I like having the extra space... I have felt like the 30 liter is a little too large for daily edc multiple times since I bought it.
I travel between home and office several times per week by metro or bicycle. Literally the only thing I need to bring is my laptop, just so that I have it at home for those WFH days, don’t even need to bring chargers or what not. Definitely gonna check out the Slim Pack.
The suspended laptop update is great to see; knowingly because almost every V1 bag of theirs will fail to protect your laptop without an additional sleeve for your laptop. Happened to mine with a short distance "drop" and I never bought a single Aer back again because of the lack of that feature. Hopefully it's good!
My daily carry is the peak design 20l. Been using this for more than a year. Im in love with it. Actually it is my 3rd pd bag. Gotta love the functionality of their bags
I would love to have a nosey through your cupboards... loads of amazing gear, consistently! 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for continuously showing us all these all the time!
Been looking for a daily bag to travel with my Topo Designs Core Pack - so I can leave that one at a friend's house or hotel room but also have a smaller backpack to take with. I was waiting on your take on these new Aer updates. The Day Pack 2 is looking like a good contender!
Currently using the Black Ember Forge. It’s cool. Almost too much daily carry space for my needs. Should be good for overnights. New enough I don’t have a good feel yet. I keep falling back to the AER Fitpack 2 with their tech pouch. That duffle opening is just so damn convenient. My negative on it is the interior material feels cheap. Looks like they’ve updated it here so hoping it comes to the rest of their bag updates.
I'm glad they listened and actually put the water bottle compartment on the Day Pack. If I didn't just buy a Synapse 25, I would highly consider the Day Pack 2!
i discovered Aer because of you and i bought fit pack 2 then i got the dopp kit and cable kit. and i just been looking for a video to see the exact size of the backpack! I'm so in love with the day pack. I cant wait to get it. thank you for your videos much love.
I love my Day Pack v1. Great EDC! The small compartments are great I barely put anything in the main one. I like that the laptop sleeve is raised on the v2, that’s a great upgrade.
Chase, I am using the mystery ranch Prizefighter. Aesthetic wise its exactly what I like. It is nothing too nice with these crazy materials. It is simple and will last forever and I have been loving it.
Hey Chase! Love the videos have watched a ton and learned even more from watching you articulate the bags you review. Question; what is the puffer jacket you are wearing? Thanks!
Still hunting for that unicorn bag.. But always seem to revert to my North Face Surge from 2014. The AER Tech 2 definitely looks like a keeper, but I was wishing it has a new front throw all pocket.
Not sure if you knew chase, but Thule just released some new edc and updated some of their old line such as one of my favorite bags of all time, the Thule paramount 24l in red.
I love the quality and craftmanship ofAer bags. But their big flaw on their bags is the lack of side compartments, or secret compartments from the outside. You can't take anything out the bag while with it in your back. So if you left something in your car, you have to take the backpack off and put on the floor to get to the damn keys out. So many backpacks have though this well, like Boundary Supply and so many others have these secret backpacks pockets from the back but not Aer. This would be a big improvement for them.
I'm currently rocking the Aer Fit Pack 2 X-Pac version. Imo it's only missing one thing. An external water bottle pocket. A lot of bags I'm seemingly interested in lacks the external water bottle pocket and/or doesn't fall into the 18-20L capacity. I've been eyeing the Bellroy Classic Backpack V2 Premium but it doesn't have an external water bottle again which leads me to believe that maybe I should wait for another version with that feature. Thanks Chase! Keep making videos!
@@withlogin I haven't had the chance to order any of those and I'm still trying to debate on how much I can fit on both. The Aer Day Pack 2 has an external water bottle holder but it's only 14L, the Bellroy Classic Backpack Premium forgoes that feature but has a much more larger space.
Rock the V2 peak design 10 liter sling. Kinda looking for a 20 liter sling pack that I can easily strap a jacket or 2 to the outside of it, as well as carry my 40oz chute.
Superb video! Between the Travel backpack 2 small and the Tech Backpack, which one do you reckon would be best for a university student and as a carry on?
I use travel pack 2 as my daily carry. But the small one here seems great for that personal item carry on for the plane. But I guess it doesn’t fit business papers? Just one monocle mag? May need to rethink.
Need ideas for 17” pc laptop daily carry brief case / backpack. This segment seems like slim pickings. Dig the topo design global briefcase but run into the “fits most 15”,” negative feedback loop.
still think my favourite hybrid travel bag is the kathmandu, seen that review and bought it that day. great for a my life style of flying to and from work every 8 days. its perfect for my cars and ass magazines (love it)
Robert Lawrence Bany I was hoping to go to Powell’s to buy some books before heading home. I hope they’re not closed to right before I get to fly home. I’m thinking I’m stuck here until May maybe
I'm having trouble deciding between an everyday style bag like the Duo and a hybrid style bag like the Prima System. Do you have any videos or resources that talk about the pros and cons of going with a hybrid system beyond the obvious "it's bigger"? I just wonder if there are some gotchas I might not have seen because I don't have access to lengthy testing.
Currently I'm looking for a "bucket bag" where it has a lot of empty space to dump things in but also carry essentials. I just stopped using my Aer Tech Pack v1 and started using the Mission Workshop Shed messenger bag....
Hi Chase, like you videos very much, as my basic daily carry I’m using Brooks Sparkhill Backpack 15lt. Could you make some reviews of Brooks England bags?
I seen that the dimensions on the tech pack 2 is actually a little smaller then then fit pack 2 and original tech pack..does it feel like it is to you side by side?
I was waiting for your review about this new bags form aer. I usually carry a 15 inch laptop with his charger, one or two books, a pencil case and my lunch. Do you think it's better day or tech pack for all this stuff?
Hey Chase Reeves...I bought the Aer Tech pack and it had a "stiffener" insert in one of the pockets. Can you tell me if that would be used for anything specific, or was it just put in there to keep the pack stiff during shipping? Thanks! Love your videos!
Wish I could say the same. Bought the tech pack two weeks after months of putting it off waiting for a new model, but I don't really like it cause I can't fit a lunchbag in the main pocket (it gets too tight), so I think because of that Aer's work line just might not be for me.
@@EK63315 :( sorry to hear that, maybe there is some other brand that is the right for your needs, you should browse through Chase's videos I'm sure you will find something that works :)
Chase can you tell me if the shoulder straps of the SLIM PACK are thiner than the ones in the DAY PACK ? I bought the first version of the DAY PACK and I didn’t expect them to be so thick and wide😕 not so much “professional look-like” as the bag is supposed to be
Shout out to Aer for designing these. Check em out here: bag.gg/AerWork. 🤙🍻
And for those asking about the jacket, airloft hoodie from bag.gg/WestRise
When you see the words "Aer" and "Chase Reeves" in one video you know it's going to be a good one.
David John meh, I’m over Aer. They’re products are overrated IMO
@@Seanonyoutube Meh. It still doesn't negate the fact that it's objectively a good video, does it?
David John A Chase Reeves video is always a good video.
@@Seanonyoutube Thou art correct! High five.
Aer’s backpacks are great quality definitely my favorite

LOVE my Aer Travel Pack 2 X-Pac, and Aer is always innovating and releasing dope stuff. Thanks for the look Chase!
This guy gets me. These are the backpack reviews I’ve been looking for.

Thanks for listening AER! luggage handle pass is big YES. Though I already have the V1 daypack version and bought another one for my brother.
Im edcing the Peak Design Everyday 30l V2. Its got so much organization and it makes me feel way more organized then I actually am. Gotta love everything peak makes!
Currently in doubt between the 30 and 20L, do you ever feel like the 30L is like "too big"? Asking for a friend😉
@@jaccoborggreve9285 yeah I actually was suprised at how big the 30liter actually is .. When it's fully packed it's extremely heavy. While I like having the extra space... I have felt like the 30 liter is a little too large for daily edc multiple times since I bought it.
Is it just me or has there been a lack of 'business papers' talk?
...man
I really like the updates though I'll miss the aesthetics of the first Day Pack. Seems to be slimmer.
New Chase video on a Friday morning? Yes please!

What jacket are you wearing during the video? It looks awesome!
Maybe Houdini Heavenly Houdi
?
would also like to know!
looks like western rise airloft hoodie
WHAT JACKET???
I'm gonna comment on every jacket/hoodie question cause we need to know.
Hey Chase, what jacket are you wearing? Is it Western Rise Airloft by a chance? It looks great on you!
Give the people what they want, Chase!
Hey Chase! Love the videos have watched a ton and learned even more from watching you articulate the bags you review. Question; what is the puffer jacket you are wearing? Thanks!
Justin Maurice I was just thinking the same thing. Chase, please do tell!
Western Rise AirLoft Hooded Jacket, I believe.
@@stebesplace Thanks!
I wish the bellroy classic backpack had the aer organization panel. That would be the perfect bag.
Odesza + Tycho + Emancipator = Vibe-out GSD mode 🎧👊 I bought the AER Daypack V1 on Chase's review/recco - LOVE IT!
Aer, Odesza, Chase, what else do you need in the world?
Still hunting for that unicorn bag.. But always seem to revert to my North Face Surge from 2014. The AER Tech 2 definitely looks like a keeper, but I was wishing it has a new front throw all pocket.
Not sure if you knew chase, but Thule just released some new edc and updated some of their old line such as one of my favorite bags of all time, the Thule paramount 24l in red.
Would the new 16" MacBook fit on that smallest version?

Would have loved to see the backpacks packed or some reports on the packs in use.
The Eddie Murphy RAW reference was EPIC!!!
Hi Chase.... I’ve been waiting for this review. Is the Slim Pack slim enough to carry in my AER Travel Pack like the Minaal Daily Bag?
And I'm wondering when you show us the full BACKPAKT. review?! Cant wait! :D
Wherever you are, there you are! And Monocle magazines! Chase you outdid yourself again! Way cooler than "business papers"!
I think that the day pack is probably the perfect one for me for my every day life.
Rock the V2 peak design 10 liter sling. Kinda looking for a 20 liter sling pack that I can easily strap a jacket or 2 to the outside of it, as well as carry my 40oz chute.

Great vid - looking forward to more creative/vlog Type ones. Keep smashing it Mr Reeeeeves
Bellroy Classic Plus. Thanks Bellroy!!! Couldn’t hold out for Evergoods backorder dates. But that’s a good one.

Current bag is Patagonia Chacabuco 30L but my Tom Bihn Synik GE is on its way.
Green Room 183! Thanks for your recommendation. What jacket are you wearing?? looks like the perfect combo of warm and lightweight.

KATU.com has the story if you didn’t make it by. However web orders are still an option
Great video again, is the face fabric the same as on the Black Ember packs?
Waited for this since Monday!
Anyone know what’s the hoody he’s wearing?
Paul Davies I have the same question!
Someone needs to answer this..
In the day pack, will it fit abig water bottle? Love your review 😁😁
Hey Chase, I really dig that jacket. Unfortunately you're not mentioning it anywhere. What brand is it from? Keep up the good work. Alex
Please review Aer Tech Sling 2!
Nice video! Can you do a review about the Pinqponq Blok? I can't find a decent review anywhere so i'm anxious to buy one but they look so good!
So if you own the v1 of the Tech and Day pack. Should you get the v2's? Or not necessary?
Is this where we sign up for our subscription to Cars and Ass magazine? I really can’t afford to miss a single issue!
If y'all ever have a chance to see Odesza live, their live show detail is comparable to Chase's ramblings.
I'm having trouble deciding between an everyday style bag like the Duo and a hybrid style bag like the Prima System.

Gr2 34L (purchased it after your video). Not the greatest for a office vibe. But its "built like a tank"
Great video. I just bought a waterfield backpack after watching your video! 🤙🏽
Currently I'm looking for a "bucket bag" where it has a lot of empty space to dump things in but also carry essentials. I just stopped using my Aer Tech Pack v1 and started using the Mission Workshop Shed messenger bag....
Peak Design Duffel 35l maybe?
what jacket you wearing? looks great!
I want a minimal travel bag in this line soooo much!
Hi Chase, like you videos very much, as my basic daily carry I’m using Brooks Sparkhill Backpack 15lt. Could you make some reviews of Brooks England bags?
@Chase what is the awesome jacket you’re wearing in this video?
6:50 was the first thing I spotted and wondered about at the start of the video 😂
I seen that the dimensions on the tech pack 2 is actually a little smaller then then fit pack 2 and original tech pack..does it feel like it is to you side by side?
Any idea if the water bottle pocket on these bags will fit a Yeti 26 oz water bottle?
I have been counting the day since they released the collection for this video to come out
Chase. Out of curiosity, what font type did you use for the word "matte?" Thanks.
I was waiting for your review about this new bags form aer. I usually carry a 15 inch laptop with his charger, one or two books, a pencil case and my lunch. Do you think it's better day or tech pack for all this stuff?
If you want to carry a little more than tech I would go with the day pack. The main compartment in the tech pack is kinda small.
Depends on size of ur lunch and if you prefer smaller or larger bag. Tech pack would definitely fit, day pack would likely fit too (but tighter).
Hey Reeves! I have a question. Can Tech Pack 2 fit 8-10 notebooks(80 leaves each nb)? Thanks for the video😊
Hey Chase Reeves...I bought the Aer Tech pack and it had a "stiffener" insert in one of the pockets. Can you tell me if that would be used for anything specific, or was it just put in there to keep the pack stiff during shipping? Thanks! Love your videos!
I think it’s just there to help one panel have a little more structure. I left mine in.
Wonder if Cars and Ass magazine ships in discrete packaging or if the mailman is gonna know. Great video, as always... What jacket/hoodie is that?
Mailman not only delivery dude, also a subscriber.
Would love to see hear your thoughts on the Fjallraven Ulvo 23
Question: Are the zippers still loud and jangly?
Hey Chase, love your jacket, can you share the brand? btw nice video!
But chase where do you put your... papers, your business papers?
I just bought the daypack v2 and the cable kit v2 (I'm glad that I took a week to think about it and not bought the v1 before v2 was announced XD)

Same size straps on all these bags. Just checked.
can you still put a water bottle on the slim pack?
If the civic half zip were actually $120, I’d order right now. It’s $190. Am i missing something?
Forget the bags, what jacket you wearing?
Can a water bottle fit inside the Slim Backpack?
What up Chase Reeves !!! Get your bag on my good man
Are you listening to music or recording audio from your airpods?
i love the everyday carry aer
Of course Chase drives a Subaru.
Also does anyone know what jacket he's wearing in this video?
The undiez thing -> for research papers. Cause yeah, when you read 10s of them daily, it has to be on actual paper...
