After the last blog talking about the difference between Day Pack 2 and Day Pack, we've received a lot of inbox asking us to compare the Tech Pack 2 and Tech Pack ( Gen 1 ) , so there you go !

Size and Dimension : 

First off looking at the photo you might be aware that the Tech Pack 2 is slightly smaller ,  2cm shorter in length and 1cm narrower, although it may seems to be a small difference only, but visually it appears to be quite noticeable.

Laptop Compartment : Tech Pack 2 has upgraded the lining to a soft lining to prevent stretches to your precious laptop , and also the official spec has pointed out that it is a "suspended laptop compartment" and protecting your laptop from impact, but as a previous Tech Pack 1 owner, I already felt that it is a suspended laptop compartment already to me. But as a Macbook user I do feel that it is smoother when you slide down your MacBook on a soft lined laptop compartment comparing to the previous gen Tech Pack.

Luggage Insert : A lot of people has commented that the 1st Gen Tech Pack luggage insert is placed in the bottom, ended up that the users may not be able to pull the handle ( as the backpack height is longer than the handle , use your best imagination ) , therefore by placing the luggage insert in the middle of the pack vertically will make the backpack more ergonomically friendly.

Top Quick Access Compartment : The Zipper of the Top Quick Access compartment has been upgraded to YKK® AquaGuard® zipper. And the lining has also upgraded to a soft lining.

Direction of the side Zipper : This maybe one of the most unnoticeable change, the direction of the zipper on the side pocket. Believe it or not it is actually easier to access the side pocket opening the zipper by pulling it away from you instead of pulling it in, quite a lot of the customer has putting this into their consideration before they make the purchase.

In conclusion. The Tech Pack 2 has some minor changes that made it a better pack, more ergonomic luggage insert ,  YKK® AquaGuard® zipper , suspended laptop compartment and all those tiny changes that matters. But if you're already an owner of the previous Tech Pack Gen 1 , perhaps you might want to try out other products in the Work Collection , perhaps the newest Slim pack or maybe the Day Pack 2.
