#tech pouch

We tested three compact tech pouches for weeks, and the Aer Cable Kit 3 edged out the Evergoods CAP2 and Peak Design on shape retention and packing efficiency. Here's how each one stacks up.

We put Aer's 1.8L Pro Kit through a full tech packout, and it swallowed an entire EDC kit with room to spare. Here's how this structured 840D pouch holds up as an organizer and desk caddy.

We put the gorgeous Peak Design Tech Pouch through a full tech kit and its camera roots shine, but if you're carrying an iPad Mini, there's a protection problem you'll want to know about first.

We put Aer's Cable Kit 3 in X-Pac through a year of real-world carry to see if 2.6 liters and a padded gadget pocket make it the best tech pouch for travel.

We put the perpetually sold-out Evergoods Civic Access Pouch 2L in X-Pac through five real-world packouts, from office cables to travel medical kits, to see if it lives up to the hype.
