Even when you pare down to the essentials, it can be hard to get through the day if you’re limited to what you can fit in your pockets. That’s where having a good EDC daypack comes in handy, letting you fit the additional gear and gadget you need in a bag that’s not big and bulky like a standard backpack can be. And if you really want to lighten the load, a lightweight technical backpack like the Arc’teryx Aerios 15 is built to be your daily driver.
Designed with one-bag outdoor hikes and excursions in mind, the Aerios 15 weighs 580 grams unloaded, while providing you the organizational space you need to efficiently pack your EDC. The secret to its featherweight comes from its ripstop 100/210D CORDURA nylon 6,6 twisted LCP grid construction which offers a ton of durability without weighing you down like heavier denier fabrics.
But the Aerios 15 is more a one-trick lightweight bag. It features a quick access front pocket, two side access zippered pockets, and an internal security pocket with key leash for important essentials. Comfort is also the name of the game, with the breathable shoulder harness and a comfortable AeroForm back panel reinforced with a frame sheet that helps the bag maintain some rigidity no matter how full (or empty) the bag is packed.
For heavier loads, the adjustable sternum strap comes in handy and you can load up the removable waist belt to add some stability into the mix on longer treks. And for the times that you do find yourself on extended hikes outside, the Aerios 15 is compatible with hydration bladders to keep you going while you’re out in the field.
Whatever your use case, the new Arc’teryx Aerios 15 backpack is a solid choice if you’re looking for a well-designed day pack to hold your EDC without weighing more than all of your stuff combined.
