Another post of the PH Ultra sling as I just got mine.

It’s small, and I like it. It feels more like a 1.5L, just some essentials is all we need! What I don’t prefer are the front pocket tri-dividers, I am one of those chaotic unorganized chumps and just prefer open space to put random sized objects.

Here are some photos along with its new stablemates. Comparing this mostly with the Able Carry Core, since they are very similar. The Able Carry is my most recent daily driver.

Enjoy!

Not decided which colour for myself but probably the black as I have the able carry panda sling in white ultra already

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. 😎

Low numbers in the white instore. Wanted both but it’s 1 per.

Did anyone here managed to get one?

Edit: it's in Stock now, it was Sold Out when I checked but I managed to place an order right now.
Edit 2: White is Sold Out but Black is still available.
Edit 3: Both are sold out for the available stock but you can pre-order next batch which will ship in February 2027.

This backpack has been used once during day driving trip, has been kept in clean space. This comes from a Smoke and pet free home. This comes in one of the most versatile navy colors.

This was purchased from Aer directly, happy to share the proof of purchase for the new buyer. Asking for $179 shipped in CONUS

Set multiple alarms and was upset to realize they posted it early so I’ve missed out.

Just got an email about the Aer Pack Hacker collab. Hopefully I can get one this time.

Picked up this pair of bags a few months ago and only used them a handful of times each before I had a change of heart and decided to go with Ultra. Both in great condition with no visible wear at all.

Selling the bundle for $150 shipped within CONUS. Ships from WA.

Happy to share more photos if needed. Thanks!

I’ve got a very clean CPP2 24L (2025) in Xpac that needs a new home. Just not right for my use case. It’s about a new as used gets. Asking $185. PM me if interested. Shipping to the CONUS only. I’m in Boston MA area.

I’m not sure I can pull off the 28L as an EDC. What do you guys think, is it too big on my back?
