![]() ![]() The first pocket we’re going to point out is on the front of the sling and works as a spot to stash items you’re constantly grabbing. Inside The SlingĪt 8L, the Tech Sling 2 is a bit on the larger side, so it has plenty of space for everything you’re carrying in your daily line up, whether that means a whole bunch of tech gear or just the everyday essentials. It’s nothing special-just some thin nylon material-but we’ve found it to be really convenient during testing when we’re on the go and don’t have time to throw over the shoulder. Then, you have a small handle at the top you can grab when you’re heading out the door or need to move the sling around while you’re working. ![]() That said, since this sling has a relatively slim profile, we’ve found it still sits comfortably against the back-it’s not too stiff, and doesn’t feel like it’s hovering away in any spots, which is great. Aer Tech Sling 2 Shoulder StrapĪs for the back panel, you’re not getting the same kind of cushion and ventilation that you do with the shoulder strap. We’ve been rolling up the remaining strap and securing it with this keeper so it’s out of the way and not dangling at the side. Thankfully, you have an elastic keeper to help manage any dangle. However, tightening it all the way can leave a lot of excess strap. Like we mentioned earlier, the D-loop makes for smooth and painless adjusting so you can tighten or loosen the strap depending on what feels most comfortable. The strap itself also has some soft, cushy padding and a mesh lining on the underside that doesn’t dig into the chest and keeps the air flowing. The shoulder strap is attached just below one of the top corners of the bag which we’ve found allows it to sit more comfortable over the shoulder than some other larger slings we’ve tested in the past. The D-loop on the shoulder strap in particular has made for easy adjusting throughout testing, and the buckle hasn’t given us any trouble yet, either. The Duraflex hardware on this sling has also been performing to standard. The noise they make is mostly a nuisance (especially in more serious settings), but if you’re ever performing “Jingle Bell Rock” around the holidays, these pulls make for the perfect instrument. Per usual, the YKK zippers feel up to the task of securing our stuff and have been working well during testing. We haven’t spotted any scratches, and when it picks up dirt and other debris, it wipes off easily. Both materials are in great shape after two weeks of testing. Speaking of materials, we’re not surprised by the Tech Sling 2’s fabric as it’s pretty similar to what we’ve seen throughout the rest of the Work Collection: a durable 840D nylon face material with a water-resistant polyurethane coating, and 1680D CORDURA ballistic nylon on the bottom. Of course, branding isn’t a necessity here by any means-with one look and feel of this bag’s muted aesthetic and materials, it’s clear this is an Aer sling through and through. The classic Aer white-on-black tag appears on the side of this sling and blends in nicely with the surrounding fabric. This sling’s look is something our Instagram followers are evenly split on, considering its 50% rating on our poll-you’re either content with this sling’s subtlety or bored by it, it seems. ![]() It immerses itself into the background more than it takes the spotlight and works well in more urban, citified settings. If you’re looking for a statement piece in your daily line up of gear, we hate to tell you that the Tech Sling 2 is only available in Black at the time of this review. We have full reviews on several bags in this line, including the also tech-specific Tech Pack 2 that you can check out, though we’ll be focusing on this sling in this review.Īer you ready for this review? We sure are! Let’s dive in. This sling comes to us from Aer’s Work Collection which features both updated and new packs and products with a clean, subdued vibe that works well for the office (or wherever else you get work done). ![]() If you haven’t already guessed from the name, the Aer Tech Sling 2 is the new-and-and improved version of Aer’s original Tech Sling with a comfortable carry and convenient organization for your tech and everyday gear. ![]()
