Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer

I was looking for something to organise the things I carry in my messenger bag, but I didn't want it to take up more space than the tools do on their own, so I gave the Micro a try. This thing holds a lot of stuff for the size. It is constructed very well and even when jammed full, it is holding up very well. I liked it so much that I ordered another one to use as a wallet and to hold all the other stuff I keep in my pockets. It fits nicely in a pocket on cargo pants or shorts, I don't think I would want to put it in a back pocket or in jeans. The one I use as a wallet I use a money clip to hold my folding money, my debit card and my gas card clipped in the outside mesh pocket. On the inside I carry: a Fisher space pen Streamlight Microstream A Gerber EAB lite utility knife 3 ft of Gorilla tape wrapped around a plastic card 6 band aids, 2 alcohol swabs, 2 wet ones Drivers license, and 4 other ID/store cards At first I had a lot more in this but it holds so much it can get a little heavy in your pocket if you stuff in as much as it will hold. In the one I keep in my bag, and this one I loaded up, I have: a Fisher Space pen a Stream light Microstream A Gerber EAB utility knife Swiss Army Cyber tool (this is one of the larger SAKs) a full size Bic lighter small memo pad (I tried a fieldnotes pad but it is to large a 3X5 pad just barely fits) A Pocket Wrench II (love this tool, but it's a bit heavy) It definitely has room to hold a few more things without over taxing it. I like that all my tools etc are in one place and I can pull this out without having to dig through my bag to find the tool I need at the time. I am very happy with these little organisers and will be buying another one to set up as a personal first aid kit, one to keep all my chargers and cords in and I am considering setting some up to give as gifts. Lots of possibilities with this great product.

A few random thoughts: 1) Arrived without the "dead mouse" smell others reported. 2) A couple reviewers reported that a Moleskine Cahier notepad could fit, but it can't without bending the corners quite a bit and squishing it into the pocket. An extra small 2.5"x4" Moleskine Classic or Volant does work though (even in the small mesh pouch in the front). 3) The interior "MAXPEDITION AMERICAN DESIGN MADE IN TAIWAN" label on the inside of the pouch is perfect for holding a AAA battery or tube-type whistle, and it is high enough (and away from the other contents) that it doesn't add any more bulk. 4) Standard wallet picture pockets fit perfectly in interior sleeves and works perfectly for storing Band-Aids, floss packets, lip ointment packets, Neosporin packets, magnifier lens card, photos, etc.., etc.. Saw this idea on a video review and thought I'd give it a try. Works incredibly well! Mods that worked for me: Because most of the items that i want to store inside the Micro are pretty short (length of Bic Mini), the organizer was extra bulky in the middle (with plenty of wasted space at the top and bottom). I cut the right side (liner and elastic) out of mine and then sewed (not pretty, but effective) 4 elastic loops vertically at the bottom of the right side. This allows me to store a AAA flashlight w/ extra battery, pill fob, and duck tape rolled around itself (think size of AA battery) horizontally (and underneath the items on the left side.) I also couldn't find any real purpose for the front mesh pocket so I cut it off as well. I then couldn't help myself and cut off the exterior large loop handle (which could be used on a belt, but I would never use it as such). I kind of figured I'd regret that last one, but the paracordish zipper pull is perfect to use as a grip to retrieve organizer out of pocket. I did keep the interior right-side loop which I attached a Nite-Ize S-Biner to that makes a great attachment point for a house key, thin twine, etc. I know those mods seems like a lot of trouble,but I really wanted something that would utilize my full front pocket without being too bulky and this organizer is absolutely the perfect height and width to do so. Without the mods, you definitely could use the organizer in pretty much any pants (jeans included), and I did for a few weeks, but I never quite got used to having it there. Now, I really do forget that I have it in my pocket and I'm totally amazed at all the extras that I used not to take that I do now all of the time.

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 way to organize your EDC gear. Large enough to store a flashlight, 3" blade knife, 4" pliers, small screwdriver, charging cables, plus some first aid gear. Also small enough to fit in a cargo or back pocket. Zippers seem to be rugged, but, to be fair, the material is a little thin for my taste. Still, I'm happy with my purchase and would certainly buy it again.

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。

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.

This little pouch is tough and well-made. It's perfect for keeping small gear like charging cables, a pocket knife, or basic first aid items all in one place. The internal elastic loops and pockets help keep everything from turning into a mess. Small enough to fit in a backpack or even a jacket pocket. Great little EDC (everyday carry) item, especially for the price.

This is a nice pouch, it's well laid out and exactly what I had in mind to put together a little bit of a grab pouch of the stuff I use most frequently. The quality is exceptional, I actually returned a One Tigris pouch before getting this one and the difference in quality is night and day. It has just the right amount of loops and pockets in my opinion, it's been well thought out. I still have enough room for a few other bits but honing in on the perfect contents is half the fun. Loss of a star for lack of YKK zips but the zip it has got is satisfactory I'm a few weeks in and I have had this pouch with me pretty much the whole time, it's so handy to have all the things I use a lot in one place. It's become my wallet too, I hate carrying one so very quickly the contents of the wallet ended up in here. I initially deducted a star for lack of YKK but the zip is robust and smooth so I have no reservations about it now.
