Aer Work Day Pack Review
"Slick + Organized"
The Day Pack from Aer’s Work Collection was instantly one of my favorite simple daily carry bags because it’s minimal frame but high-functioning insides.
- Lots of organization — loads of places to put your dongles and adapters and chargers, etc.
- Slimline Profile — it’s minimal and sleek.
- Quick Access — easily access the stuff that’s most important to you on the go.
This is just one of the bags in Aer’s Work Collection. Be sure to check out the Tech Pack if you need a little bit more space in your bag.
More on the Aer Work Day Pack
What I like
- Clean, modern look on a bag that can be dragged through your life. Burly coated ballistic nylon.
- Loads of organization on the front panel for chargers, cables, pens and glasses.
- Quick access pocket up top for phone and earbuds.
- Laptop sleeve is suspended off the bottom and there's a rigid frame sheet, so it doesn't flop.
- The updated liner feels much nicer than the old nylon one.
- Luggage pass-through on the back.
- Compact and slim. One of my favorite simple daily carries.
Watch for
- Main compartment is slender. Laptop, iPad, a light jacket. Not much room for lunch or a camera.
- The water bottle pocket is tight.
- Big chunky zip pulls. I like them but they jingle.
- If you need more organization and water sealed zips, look at the Tech Pack.
Specs
- Coated ballistic nylon, YKK zips

Peak Design Everyday Backpack
Tech looks. Epic innovation.Protection, material delight, and the side-door access this bag offers are really what define the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. The shell material is tough, weather-resistant, and has that really premium feel Peak Design is known for. Fk'n love the clip version (I used to be a fan of the zip, now i'm clippy).

Organized. SturdyThese Nomatic bags are chock full of pockets. There are 2 different bags here: the Travel Pack expands up to about 30L, perfect for short trips and minimal travel. The Backpack is 20-24L daily carry. Both are sleek, totally organized, and rocking the "jetpack" look.

Arktype Dashpack Mark II Backpack
Sleek AF.One that I've gone to again and again. Super unique shape, both clean and utilitarian in style, but the way it's laid out makes it really satisfying to use day to day. Great access and organization without the bag ever feeling busy.
Able Carry Max
Solid & SoftReally lovely and thoughtfully crafted bag. Tons of organization, excellent comfort (super cushy straps), large enough for bigger EDC and travel needs but designed in a way that doesn't make it look funky when it's not packed out. Looks excellent, in fact. Super unique in its "softness." Watch the vid to get a sense of what I mean.
