Aer Slim Pack 2 is a minimalist's dream pack

Aer’s Slim Pack 2 is an exceptionally stylish and ultra-slim backpack for all of your tech essentials. Ditch the excess gear and carry your most important gadgets, but stay professional.

Sometimes, you want to throw a bag over your shoulder that’s not thick and packed to the brim with gear. You want to take the bare minimum, and you want a bag to reflect that. Unfortunately, if you have a regular-size pack, you’re still going to be dealing with a bulky bag, at least compared to the Aer Slim Pack 2. It’s designed for people who want a professionally capable yet streamlined backpack. It’s slim, it’s lightweight, it’s stylish, but it’s got a ton of pockets and features built in. Honestly, I could use something like this myself. I’m tired of lugging big packs down the street when I podcast with my brother-in-law. Yes, I’m a basic bitch with a podcast. Moving on.

Starting with the 1680D Cordura ballistic nylon material on the exterior, it also has an 840D nylon face with a durable, weather-resistant coating. If you’re outside in the rain or wind, your gear inside will stay dry. That’s good news since it has a 16-inch padded and suspended laptop pocket, smart organization for all your tech essentials, and a quick-access top pocket for small gear and items. Additional features include a hidden smart tracker pocket, a luggage handle pass-through, padded top and side handles, YKK zippers, and adjustable shoulder straps with a center chest strap.

Built to move smarter, for work or commuting

When you’re traveling through the city, especially if you take public transportation, you want to limit your on-hand gear to essentials only. It’s more lightweight, more convenient, and still keeps you ready for anything. The Aer Slim Pack 2 is the bag you need to carry all of that gear. From your laptop to your extra power banks, headphones, gadgetry and handhelds, there’s plenty of room, and organization to keep everything safe, secure and tucked away.

Plus, the outside of the pack is durable, weather-resistant, and keeps moisture and other nasties out. You could technically use it even for adventuring, though, you’ll probably want a pack better-suited to those activities. However, the Aer Slim Pack 2 was purpose-built for professional life, working, commuting, school, and similar events. I didn’t even get to the best part yet. One look at this stylish thing and you’re probably thinking what I did at first, there’s no way this is affordable. Wrong, it is. Just $125, not including shipping. The downside is that it’s only available locally in San Francisco and New York. Everywhere else, you need to have it shipped.
