Micro Pocket Organizer

I typically have carried my Urban EDC stuff loose in my pockets. I’ve worn out way too many pockets over the years! After seeing some EDC YT videos, I realized there was a better way to avoid my pocket linings getting holes in them, along with the potential to be able able to carry more things, like a pen, lighter, band-aids, etc.; by using a pocket organizer (PO). I wanted a small, very pocketable PO, ideally one with a zippered pouch for emergency money and small things like band-aids, as well as larger, opened-ended slip-in pockets for a flashlight and maybe my knife, though I typically clip that to my right front pocket, also containing my wallet, where access can be quick and unhindered. A BIC lighter would be useful to carry too. It needed to fit in my left front jeans pocket. If it fit there, it would also work in my cargo pants/shorts. . Initially, I had targeted a leather PO, with the tools on the outside in slots, but they don’t have zippered pockets. They also are stiff and need bedding in, which then means they are dedicated to that item’s shape. I tried a VIPERADE VE15, which has zippered pockets, and found that the tools caught on my pocket and it was difficult to get out. It was too small also. While perhaps less durable, a fabric, clamshell PO made more sense. It would slide in and out easily and my EDC items would be protected inside and not collect pocket lint. . After much research, once more using those YT reviews, I settled on the Micro Maxpedition. It fit my budget and would fit my pocket. However, I was concerned how much I could actually get in it without it turning into a football, which would be too obvious and uncomfortable in my front pocket. The Maxpedition can hold a lot of stuff, but at the cost of bulge thickness in the middle. . I started out with my essentials – Baton 4 flashlight, BIC lighter, whistle, pen, old credit card wrapped with duct tape and aluminum foil, some paper, band-aids, lens wipes. The Micro fitted in my pocket but was very tight. The flashlight was the biggest offender. I also realized it was more difficult to access my flashlight and whistle quickly. I use the flashlight every day, and like with my knife, I appreciate quick access from my pocket. Opening the pouch in the dark to get to the flashlight would be problematic. I decided to leave the flashlight and attached whistle loose in my pocket. It’s much smaller than my old flashlight and won’t wear out my pocket liner as easily. . After much trial and error, I discovered the best arrangement to carry my EDC stuff in the Micro Maxpedition. I was even able to add a Nextool Mini Sailor multitool (scissor version – good scissors are more useful than pliers in my situation). My photos show what I now carry and where it is all stored. The bulge is minimal and I can easily slide the PO into my jeans' pocket, and out. Out is really easy as the loop on top can be used to pull on it. I thought that loop was unnecessary for my use-case and contemplated removing it, but it’s actually very, very useful for fast retrieval, and for hanging my car key fob from when driving. Note that I make use of hair ties a lot. They can be arranged to hold items in place, especially ones which may slip though the elasticated bands. The unopened superglue tube has a unique wrap configuration to keep it in place. (I think the cap is somewhere in the bottom of the RH rear pocket – I didn’t remember to take it out for the photos). Those elastic bands will no doubt stretch over time and get worse for allowing slippage. Hair ties are always handy. Useful as rubber bands when out and about. The Syrinx titanium pen hangs perfectly in the hinge of the pouch, off a hair tie, of course. 😉 I wrapped the BIC lighter with some sticky, waterproof, off-a-roll, medical tape. That stuff is really good for finger cuts and never comes loose. An easily applied/removed wire tie stops the trigger being accidentally depressed in the closed Maxpedition pouch. I use FoodSaver, custom-made, vacuumed bags to compress things like my vinyl gloves into a very compact state, and to waterproof emergency meds. I didn’t like the plain, frankly ugly, black zipper pull, so, I made a Snake Knot pull using reflective orange 550 Paracord. . CONCLUSION: . I feel like I found my perfect EDC Pocket Organizer with the Micro Maxpedition. Sure, I can’t carry everything in it and have to be somewhat minimalist but that’s actually a good thing. When I might need more “tools”, like when hiking, I usually have a backpack. Of course, If I carried it on my belt, I could carry much more stuff and turn it into a mini football, but that’s not what I want. . I can highly recommend this Micro Maxpedition Pocket Pouch. It’s well-made, durable, well-priced, and great for everyday use.

Very nice and sturdy. I was able to fit everything I usually carry in my pockets in this so storage capacity is great for my needs. Very functional.

Great EDC pack. I carry mostly backup type stuff in here... spare batteries for the flashlight, point and shoot camera, extra pen, a little first aid stuff, that kind of thing. It is pretty durable, and although I've only had it for a few months, I can't detect any signs of wear on it at all. It goes on the motorcycle with me, in the car, to work and in the boat. It's small enough to fit in a cargo pocket, a little too large for jeans. It would be nice if the elastic was a little tighter, but that and the fact that it has no belt clip provision are my only two complaints, and the reasons for 4 stars out of 5. What can I say... in the words of Abe, "People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like". An excellent choice. Update: After carrying this everywhere for the last year, I have upgraded it to 5 stars. What I carry in it has kind of stabilized, and I still don't leave home without it. I had to replace the zipper pull because it kept untying. The sides have softened up somewhat, but no signs of weakening in the stitching or zipper. It's amazing what you can fit in this if you try. It holds a Victorinox Super Tinker, Streamlight Microstream, AAA battery, RCR123A battery, 18650 battery, eye drops, Fisher Space Pen (full size won't fit), mini Sharpie, mini bic, two aluminum pill bottles heat shrunk together... one with allergy meds and pills, the other a spare set of ear plugs, spare memory cards and adapters, band-aids, neosporin and alcohol swabs. All that fits with a little room to spare, and I usually manage to stuff a spare camera battery, ear buds or a portable charger in there when I need it. I still hold to what I said, a little large for jean pockets, works well in a cargo pocket or jacket pocket. It always lives in my lunch bag at work, center console in the car or truck, side jacket pocket on the bike. I originally removed a star for loose elastic and lack of belt provision. I no longer feel the need to wear it on a belt, so that's eliminated as a concern, and while I used to think the elastic was too loose, I have found that it reliably holds on to items when they are organized correctly. The elastic also hasn't gotten stretched out or lost it's elasticity. I have tried 3 other organizers since, thinking I wanted more space, but every time I return to this one. It seems like if I have the space, I fill it with stuff I don't use. This seems to be just the right size for me.

Muito bem feito

MAXPEDITIONのポーチの良さを知り、気がつけば、大きい順にbeefy, fatty, mini, micro（この商品）を買ってしまった。 色々な物を詰め込みたくなるが、大きいほど取り回しが悪くなる。 結局、EDCポーチは小さきをもって旨とすべし、という結論に至り、microに落ち着いた。 中身としては、薄型モバイルバッテリー、充電用ケーブル2本、ボールペン、A7ノート、爪切り(victorinox)＋チタン製爪楊枝、リップスティック、絆創膏、AirTagになった。バッグを変える時に、このポーチも移し替えるようにしている。何を入れて何を外すか、ということを考えている時が結構楽しい。 この製品自体は非常にタフだし、YKKジッパーも全く問題ない。多分20〜30年ぐらい使える。ただ、高値で売っている業者もいるので要注意。

Excelente, marca muy buena en sus productos, muy practico para llevar todo lo que se te ocurra dentro de sus medidas.

Slipped in a pen, leatherman juice, victorinox climber. Measuring tape, usb cable. With band aid and ninja wallet on the front mesh pocket.

köpte den efter recension av Jon Gadget på YouTube. Jag ville ha någonstans att hålla saker organiserade som jag alltid har med mig i bilen såsom multiverktyg, små första hjälpenartiklar, penna, ficklampa etc. Den lilla storleken gör den även perfekt att förflytta mellan bilen, väskan, fickan etc. önskar bara att det var molle på baksidan så den gick att fästa på utsidan av ryggsäcken.
