Aer Pack Hacker
Got lucky and picked up the white Aer × Pack Hacker edition at the SF store this morning. No crazy line either—just a few people ahead of me hunting for backpacks. They were limiting it to one per customer, so I grabbed mine and got out of there happy.
My usual daily carry is an Iron Heart denim waist bag with an Alpaka organizer inside. I love that setup, but Iron Heart definitely isn’t playing the same organization game as Aer. And because it’s denim, wearing it with anything white is basically asking for indigo crocking.
That sent me way too deep down the daily-sling rabbit hole. After watching and reading more reviews than I’d like to admit, I landed on the Aer Day Sling 4. It seemed like the latest and greatest all-around option.
But I’d seen the original Pack Hacker edition when it dropped and immediately wanted that version. Of course, it was sold out. Turned on the restock notification, kept checking, and somehow the timing worked out.
Now that I have both in hand, there are actually a few things I prefer on the regular Day Sling 4. The little details are really well thought out—the zipper pulls can be tucked away so they’re not flinging around, and the magnetic buckle has a really satisfying, premium feel.
That said…the white PH edition just looks damn good.
I’m going to put it into heavy rotation instead of babying it and see how well that white actually holds up with real daily use.
I’ll report back once it’s got some miles on it. 😎

The Flat Head Engineer Boots
First wear very comfy straight out of the box. Very light weight. Has the vibram 2021 crepe sole and 2mm thick chrome tanned cowhide suede. Made in Japan
Feels like im wearing uggs. Sizing is same as viberg.
Plan to put on heavy rotation so we’ll see how this patina. Sole will probably last about 5-6 months but the boot itself will last a lifetime.

Bought a “Buy It For Life” bag, retailer shipped it, then wanted another $150 after the fact. What would you have done?
I got an email from an online retailer saying a bag I’d been waiting for was finally back in stock. I ordered it immediately, paid $220 (plus upgraded to 2-day shipping), received an order confirmation, and later that day got a shipping notification.
A few hours later, I received another email saying they had accidentally listed the bag at the wrong price. They said the correct price was $370 and asked me to pay the additional $150.
Unfortunately, I completely missed that email because I assumed it was just another shipping update.
The next day I replied, explaining that I hoped they could honor the price since the order had already been accepted, my card had been charged, and the item had already shipped. I also mentioned that I’m a returning customer and have purchased from them before.
They responded saying the manufacturer is very strict about MSRP, so they couldn’t honor the price. They offered a small gift card for the inconvenience, but that was it.
To make matters worse, I was flying that day with no internet access. By the time I landed and saw their email, the package had already been intercepted and rerouted back to them. They had only given me about 30 minutes to respond before recalling the shipment.
I ended up emailing them saying I’d pay the difference because I still want the bag, but the whole situation has left a bad taste in my mouth. They accepted my payment, but I can’t help feeling frustrated that an order could be confirmed, charged, shipped, and then pulled back because of a pricing mistake.
What would you have done? Would you have pushed harder for them to honor the original price, or just paid the difference like I did?

Been grabbing the AirPods Max 2 more often ever since the new eq update. Maybe because the ease.

EC200/300 $300 vs Anthros V2 $2000
I’ve been using both the EC200 and EC300 over the past few weeks and wanted to share a few thoughts now that I’ve spent enough time with them.
I normally use an Anthros V2 as my daily chair and have also owned the Logitech Embody, Aeron, and Leap V2, so I was curious to see how these compared.
EC200
Softer, more forgiving lumbar support
Easy to get comfortable in immediately
My wife’s favorite
EC300
Much stronger lumbar support
Better upper-back support
My favorite for long work sessions
Neither chair is perfect. I’d still like to see more armrest adjustment, especially on the EC300, but considering the price, I think both offer a lot of value.
It won’t replace my Anthros but for the price the EC300 comes close to the same feeling you’ll get from the Anthros .
