As an interim update to my 2017 gear post, I'd like to strongly endorse the Aer Fit Pack 2 as my new primary backpack, replacing the Lululemon bag I suggested before. It has better material, much better zippers, a logical design, more pocket distribution inside, and it's cheaper! I put this bag and its predecessor through all the rounds, including taking it to Burning Man, and it's been a champ. If you're reading this and work for Automattic, this bag is also now available as an official choice for your bag and it'll come embroidered with a cool logo. (Previously we only offered Timbuk2.)

Too bad I don’t work for automattic, else I would have had this bag for FREE
I love how much care and thought you put into what you carry everyday, and that you stand behind it so much that you provide the bag for everyone on the Automattic team. True geeking out is inspiring.
