I've been waiting literally years for them to design a smaller tech pouch but for some reason I'm not loving this. I think even though it's definitely smaller than the original it's still just too bulky for my everyday use. The biggest thing I carry is a battery bank like the one in the video and it's swimming in that side pocket. If they cut 2 inches from the length and an another inch from the width and kept all that organization I'd be much happier.
The origami-style is nice in larger pouches but I think it loses its advantage here, it's too limiting. I reckon the Aer Slim Pouch's open interior with org on the sides is a better solution, it can fit a surprisingly large amount of stuff for such a compact package.
Hoping this will be a nicer upgrade the 1gal ziplock bag I'm currently using the keep smaller things like mice and chargers wangled in the top compartment of the PD 20L Everyday backpack.
I really hate the accordion-style zip for semi-hard shell organizers like this. Ended up getting a Bellroy pouch which compresses easier to replace the larger tech pouch. It also doesn't have the super constricted top main zip.
