Aer has done it again, they have just launched a new tech pouch and it's their slimmest one yet, with a 1.5-liter capacity. Unlike most tech pouches which are meant to live inside your bag, this one doesn't look out of place being carried on its own, be it on campus or in the office.

Its capacity may seem small on paper, but the Cordura ballistic nylon has enough flexibility to allow this pouch to be packed with an impressive amount of gear.

**********

Get the Aer Slim Pouch if…

✅ You don't carry a bunch of tech gear

✅ You are a minimalist

✅ You're sick of losing your gear in your bag

**********

DO NOT get the Aer Slim Pouch if…

❌ You carry more gear (photography gear, Bluetooth mouse, a laptop charger, larger power banks, and so forth.) The Aer Slim Pouch is not going to fit all of that gear. We suggest looking for a larger alternative. Check out the links below... 👇🏼

→ Peak Design Tech Pouch → Larger and great for photographers

❌ You carry more gear but still REALLY want an Aer product, instead we recommend getting the..👇🏼

→ Aer Cable Kit 2 → Larger and still got that Aer-sthetic

**********

Aer has a cult-like following and with good reason, their products strike a great balance between minimalism and usability. Their products are simple to use and are made of extremely strong materials, for example, Cordura ballistic nylon and YKK zippers. Their products don't cost an arm and a leg and will last a very, very long time.

I just received it and packed it with my electronic essentials. Basically, I really dig the build quality and the internal layout. I put a microfiber cloth in the small zipper area, some chargers, dongles and cables in the main area, and a pen behind the Aer logo.
A few points I want to add to your review:
- I actually like that the flap is not super flush as it makes accessing it easier, but it still doesn't open itself if I don't want to.
- Even though the zips are really smooth, it requires two and sometimes three pulls in order to fully open, as they always get stuck in the final "turn".

I'm really happy that I made an order, and as always, Aer did not disappoint.

4:37 I saw several videos about this pouch and yours was the first one to give such a detailed and crisp display of its interior, thanks!

[adamcedillo]

I bought it. Stoked! Do I need it? No but I like everything are does.

[zealdrive]

This is my choice for a tech pouch. I like to carry a handful of pens and pencils to bullet journal and that exterior pouch fits my utensils perfectly. This lets me combine my pen/pencil pouch and my old tech pouch. Love it!

[MitchKirkham]

I have the larger AER cable kit x-pack edition and I love it! However I think this is perfect to use with AER bags since I can use the bag’s internal organization for larger things like my laptop charger, mouse and other bulky items and the smaller things I carry can be in this pouch. Love the videos man, keep it up!

[rlfstr]

Still using this pouch every day more than a year later. Definitely the best tech pouch for my needs. It fits my power bank, mouse, USB hub, some cables, charger, e-reader and external SSD drive perfectly, there is a little pocket or sleeve for each item, it always stands up, opens up really nicely, and isn't too bulky like my Thule tech pouch which is really boxy. Great materials and design.

Solid video as always! I peeped that you had the lil blue colored timer joint going as you went through each section of the review. Nice touch!

Already have the Peak Design tech pouch but ima go ahead and get the Aer one too haha

Found this channel the other day. Very informative and entertaining videos. Used your link to buy this one pouch, went a little nuts and bought two more pouches. 🤣 Can't wait to get them!

[jpmccarthy]

You are one of my favourite channels for reviews - informative and entertaining IMO. I love your 'best bags' videos as it's not a top 5, but a best recommendation for minimal, travel, business, etc. Wondering if you can do the same for pouches - best for home office on the road, minimal, photographer, etc. something like that. Also, love that you are doing other EDC gear aside from packs and slings - I'd like to see some on dopp/toiletry kits - that's another thing you can drop a fair amount of money on surprisingly. Just some thoughts - keep up the great content!

[paulojpcarvalho]

I have two AER slim tech pouches. One for my tech and other for my toilets (use as wash pouch). For people like me who like minimalist and do not travel around things don’t use, it is the perfect pouch!

[Jasondranoff]

Today ... Sept 2023 what is the best tech pouch in your opinion? I just bought the Aer city Pack based on your video and want to pair a great pouch with it... Great content appreciate the videos!

[OffTheGrid]

To solve the AER jingle get wire cutters and toss them. Find zipper pulls you like. Paracord cobra pulls are quiet and make no noise!

[ThexImperfectionist]

Ordered! Thanks for pointing out the pen loop! That's something I never knew i needed thanks to the peak design tech pouch but as you said, it's too big for everyday. I'm just curious, what city are your exterior shots in? I can't tell.

[hydrochris]

Ordered, and used your link, thanks for the review

[sglatitude]

This video convinced me to make a purchase decision. This Aer slim pouch is good enough to hold 2 plus phone size, AirPod, slim wallet, tissue.

[ProdigalGil]

Great review video. Being going through a few of you vids recently and joining the AER experience of late with the City Pack Pro Ultra @1.08kg, which is pretty dope.

I have the cable kit 3, which is too big for the front section of the CPP, so goes inside the clam shell.

I have odds and ends like airplane adopters, Apple camera adapters, random business card and dac dongles. Due to CPP’s minimal front admin section, I would like a tech pouch to put those things in.

Will this slim pouch fit or be a tight fit in the admin panel section of the CPP? Otherwise, not ideal, I may need to go for the spilt (with not pockets inside).

Thanks. Gil.

Dammm you guys are quick! Just got an email from Aer that they have a new pouch and several minutes later I see this review

[MrDjblock]

Excellent review. Any major differences between xpac and black?

[mkphilly]

AER also has a larger tech pouch I bought in New X-pac version.... love it

[BigTonyGee]

Great review! Very informative and through walk through. 👍🏻
