I’ve been a long time fan of AerSF bags and I gained quite a collection and every single bag is top notch. Traveled with them all and my oldest bag (about 5+ years) it still looks great and has barely worn out. Glad to see another happy advocate of the brand! My current bag is the Day Pack Gen 1 and it’s still going strong.
well the brand "incase" has a very good protection with the "tensaerlite"
"I’m getting back into minimalism"
My previous business travel laptop bag was Everki Concept, which lasted for a number of years until I caused shoulder strap to break. I need to see if I can get a repair done.
… and this AER is sold out
Massive fan on the aer products. I use their travel pack as my daily driver – little bit bigger but saves me having a smaller city bag to worry about too and is also my one bag when traveling overseas.
100% advertising. If it were genuine experience-sharing, it would be written like: “I bought a new backpack, just sharing my impressions.”
But if it’s phrased like “I found it, and finally!” — that’s 100% an ad. That kind of thing deserves a dislike.
Could you link your luggage bag/suitcase too, please?
I have the same bag! Recently bought it and loving it
Have you looked at the Linus Tech Tips backpack?
Thanks for nothing now I need to buy another bag!!!😂
updated Python setup when
The flat pocket inside the main compartment would be great for …. some …. papers? Work papers.
Able carry Max EDC are better. Aer design is kinda boring and less practical in some sense.
$209 dollars. I’ll pass.
Can anyone explain the xylitol gum IYKYK comment at 14:19 – I need to know!
I have the original City Pack Pro as my tech go-bag.
The down side is that it’s so good at its job that it’s usually the first place I go when i need a cable or connector. Meaning I have to spend a couple hours reconstituting it (and making frantic Amazon orders) before a trip.
I have this bag, and I like it quite a lot. I will say that for the average day, it’s actually too large. If you’re going for a multi-use bag, go for it. In retrospect, since I generally carry a laptop, notepad, and camera, I might have been better off with the city pack vs the pro.
Geeez, at the exact time I was looking at this bag, you upload… Awesome, glad I chose right!
I don’t know, liked more when the channel was about coding and not about product review (?) and video production.
I respect you still but I don’t know changes comes and changed enough for me to not be interested anymore.
Good videos and community but I’ll be going, good bye everyone 🙂
I just brought and imported to france the city pack of aer two weeks ago after deep search based on my personnal preference
The build quality is astonishing, and comfort is quite impressive too
These back packs have quite an hefty price but it’s Well worth it, and the admin pocket is just a chef’s kiff
Enjoy your bag ! Happy to see you love the aer work 👌
4:30 Framework Desktop?! 👀
Pro tip: if you want one, get the x-pac or ultra version, they are supposed to be waterproof.
I have the regular one and recently got under some heavy rain with it. Everything inside got damp. Water resistant zippers didn’t do a lot.
Ordered the rain cover.
In terms of color, the fake kisluxs here looks more colorful, clear and clean! Anyway, I can’t tell the difference, maybe I’m too stupid and will never buy it! Haha
Didn’t realize you were british.
I am a software dev as well. I have been looking for a bag to hold cables, SOMETIMES 2 laptops, pens notebooks and misc. along with being able to hold a packing cube for 2days of clothes and some of the prior items for travel. I was thinking the fyrot22 but that front pocket looks too smalls. Aside from this aer, do you have any other recommendations?
New studio setup … This guy have legs
lmao what a joke of a price
Bro’s favorite word is "whilst"
Quick Question, what is the size of your kindle and does it fit into the zipper section of the front admin panel?
I have their Day pack 3 in x-pack. It’s a fantastic bag and i love it to bits. Perfect for edc with a laptop. A bit small for travel though. So I might pick up the city pack for that 👀
These seem way too expensive
Great video. I am a new fan of your channel and I love your vibe. Also, I can’t tell the difference between the two Bottega bags, the kisluxs is close and cute, so that’s enough for me. I will bring my friends to buy.
I’m also looking for one but this is way out of my budget! Do you have any cheaper alternatives that you would recommend?
About a year ago I went down the backpack rabbit hole myself. I never managed to make my mind up though. Nice to see you found something that works for you!
Good video
I considered this bag, but the aquaguard zippers were a dealbreaker after some bad experiences with their longevity. I also don’t realistically need the waterproofness day-to-day. I ended up getting the Evergoods CPL and it’s been great. Awesome choice on your end though!
we need more coder gear reviews. more coder merch. bring it on, youtubers
Cli, VIM, devops, EDC… This channel makes me feel seen. And also appreciate the great production.
I use a Godz Ghost backpack, I use it since 2017 and it’s rock solid. I’ve been meaning to change but decided to just stick with it.
Huh, I already own this one and it is indeed, fantastic. Always feels nice to be validated 😅
Pocari sweat, I’ve only ever seen those drinks in Taiwan, are you making this video from Taiwan?
my developer tech bag is aer pro sling, I use my fold 7 as main machine, so I have a full size folding keyboard (clever bk05s), pebble 2 mouse, anker power bank and charger brick in 1 (10000mhr), ear buds, xreal ar glasses, and daily carry stuff, with room to spare
I develop using fold 7, dex, termux, proot distro, so I code locally on phone with arch, helix, sqlite, postgres, redis, rails, nuxt, mach, ruby, js, go, clang, and others, all locally
As far as color goes, the fake kisluxs here looks more vivid, clear and clean! I can’t tell the difference anyway, probably because I’m dumb and I’ll never be able to buy and own it! Haha
What is that rolling bag/cabin bag that cameos in this video?
Never bring fluids through security, only clothes and electronic equipment.
I purchase the hygene either on the arrival airport or a store. Most of the time all i need is deodorant and toothpaste.
How do you find it switching between the ZSA and the Laptop keyboard?? Its do damn jarring for me smh
14:33 Both passports 👀
It looks like ass tho. The most generic edgy black backpack known to man.
