No need to wait for special drops-pick it up from Aer at the link below. ![]() The Day Pack 2 is an EDC crowd favorite, with this X-Pac edition dialing everything to 11 while still keeping the bag surprisingly affordable and attainable. As a final touch, this X-Pac version’s zipper pulls come with reflective detail for more visibility, matching well with its eye-popping interior. It also comes with a quick access top pocket in front of the bag’s grab handle, an expandable side water bottle pocket, and a luggage pass through for when you’re next able to take to the skies.Īltogether the Day Pack 2 comes with 14.8L of storage in a structured design that lets the bag stay upright when placed on a surface, with all the accoutrements you’ve come to expect from Aer bags, including YKK zippers, Duraflex hardware, a sternum strap, and comfortable straps paired with a padded mesh back panel for comfort and airflow for breathability. This includes the Day Pack 2’s two main compartments, the front for admin organization and the rear that fits up to a 15“ laptop and other flat items like tablets along with space for some organizing pouches. The VX-42 material used in this new Day Pack 2 first made an appearance in Aer’s X-Pac collection that celebrated their 5th anniversary, and like that collection it combines with a hi-vis ripstop nylon interior and sealing zippers for top tier weather resistance for the Day Pack.īut Aer didn’t fix what isn’t broken, so you still get an everyday/tech backpack loaded with features. If you’re unfamiliar with X-Pac, it’s a a highly durable and waterproof layered laminate material designed to withstand the harshest conditions built by Dimension-Polyant, a company that builds racing sailcloths by trade and figured they’d make an excellent product fabric as well. What was already a solid everyday bag gets a bump up in durability and collectability, and it’s available right now as a sleek addition to your EDC. ![]() But that’s exactly what Aer did with a surprise drop of one of their most popular bags-the Day Pack 2-in one of EDCs most desired materials for a bag: X-Pac. If you already like using sling bags, then the Day Sling 2 is definitely worth the money for the quality and long-lasting product you’ll get.It’s not every day that you can go back and make something great even better, especially a product recently released and still enjoying immense popularity. In comparison to other sling bags, it’s also a bit more expensive, but this is mostly because it’s made from higher quality materials. Plus, for long hikes and rigorous outdoor activities, having a sturdy backpack will keep your shoulders much happier. Although it’s relatively durable, it’s not really designed for rough and tumble adventures. The Aer Day Sling 2 probably isn’t the best choice for outdoor enthusiasts either. Again, some people like this feature because it means you won’t lose the strap, while other people prefer a removable strap for more versatility. Also, keep in mind that the shoulder strap only has a buckle on one end, so it’s not entirely removable. If you don’t like shoulder bags, then obviously the Day Sling 2 is not the right day bag for you. It’s just not meant to carry more than a few essential items for the day. The biggest con of the Aer Day Sling 2 is also its main pro attribute: it’s a small bag. Overall, the Day Sling 2 strikes a good balance between looking nice, but not overly flashy, and can fit into a variety of situations, from tourist travel to daily commutes on the bus going work or school. Some people like the look of sling bags, other people find them either awkward in appearance and use. The aesthetics of the Day Sling 2 are a matter of personal preference. ![]() Unlike some of Aer’s other products, the Day Sling 2 doesn’t have locking zippers, but for a bag so small, this probably won’t be an issue. Thanks to how the zipper tucks away and the opening totally blends into the bag, no one will know that pocket even exists until you show them. Since it’s so small, it’s also guaranteed to qualify as a personal item while traveling by plane.Īlso, when Aer says that the back pocket is “hidden,” they’re telling the truth. One of the benefits of having a close-carry sling bag is that it is generally a more secure option than a bulky backpack, which is easier for thieves to slip their hand inside. However, for urban use, sightseeing, or light walking, the pack is strong enough to hold up for years if given proper care. It’s not really designed for rough outdoor adventure, and would probably just get in the way if you’re mountain biking or running.
