It goes without saying that here at AON, we are big proponents of the backpack. But sometimes, we need or prefer a smaller bag to conveniently carry our basic essentials that we use and need access to throughout the day. After almost 6 months of rigorous testing and evaluation, we are proud to announce the latest generation of our beloved Chio bag: the Chio-X! This bag was designed with convenience and versatility in mind, ensuring that you can take all your essentials with you wherever you go.
NOTE: The new Chio Organizer is sold separately.

Story behind the original CHIO:
We designed the Chio bag to hold the basic essentials, and I carry what is shown in the video here. These items I carry daily, regardless of whether I'm back home, traveling stateside or internationally. I simply add or remove additional items depending on where I'm going and how long I'm going to be there. For domestic and international travel, I keep the Chio bag below the front seat on a flight, and keep everything else in my backpack in the luggage bins above. This is especially useful on long flights when the lights are out, and I don't want to rummage through my backpack in the bin.
Finally, for those photographers among us, I would like to also mention the availability of the optional Chio camera pouch add-on. This well-padded pouch has a hook bottom that helps secure it to the bottom of the Chio where you will find a corresponding inline strip of loop. Not only is this pouch a great addition to your Chio bag, it also doubles as a stand-alone bag with its own shoulder strap. In a quick instance, you can easily convert your Chio into a small camera bag, perfect for capturing those special moments........Helm @ AON
