Maxpedition Neatfreak Organizer

This is an excellent piece of kit that will outlast me. Quality control is second to none and the strap and pad will doubtless carry significant weight easily. With significant number of organisation options internally it should carry and allow access to most things. Great price from Amazon.

When I found I was regularly putting essential carry items in a carrier bag, or taking a jacket out with me just for the pocket space, I realised I had a gap in my gear list.Maxpedition have provided a shoulder slung kit bag with sufficient pocket and storage options to suit the most eclectic carry needs.In tough black cordura, the bag looks sufficiently rugged to calm the sensibilities of any chap needing to use it.As well as a good selection of internal pouches and securable pockets, the exterior has a secure zipped flap pocket and a mesh covered secure pouch I find ideal to carry my phone so it can easily be heard. Inside a removable load divider either gives extra pockets or tears out for larger general carry space. I can carry an iPad mini and kindle Paperwhite (both in protective cases) with no difficulty at all, alongside my EDC items and multi tool.As with all Maxpedition equipment, carry options abound - adjustable shoulder strap, top or side carry handles, back belt loops and a means to secure to larger bags or a tent pole (?).Plenty of external Velcro and kit loops mean extra personalisation is catered for.To sum up the Neatfreak lets you keep and carry all your kit in one neat and durable package, with the versatility to meet almost any everyday carry need.I am delighted with mine.If you are even thinking something liked this just might be handy, GET THIS; you will not be disappointed.

It's like a tardis, you can just get so much in and still get to everything, amazing!

SUMMARY: Strong, sturdy, well-made. Provides a mix of fitted and removable/adjustable storage. I bought it as an outdoorsy everyday carry (EDC) and it would've been great but for the very loud velcro and rather loud zips which rule it out for quiet activities e.g. birdwatching or at the dead of night on a campsite. It's now my car's "in case of emergency" bag.GENERAL: The bag sits upright on its own; I have a bag that doesn't and it's a nuisance. Measures 8"(L) x 3"(W) x 11"(H) without shoulder strap.COLOUR: Bought the Neatfreak in black. There's nothing that's tan brown as shown for the black one in the advert photos. The main compartment interior is actually dark grey with white-stitched black edges to the pockets.MAIN COMPARTMENT:1. Zips go all the way round, to give access to as much of the compartment as possible (not all bags do that). You can adjust how far the "clamshell" opens by how far you open the zips. You can't open the bag out flat.2. It has 18 pockets (13 built-in), large and small, different shapes, non-adjustable, non-removable. Large wide pockets: one pocket takes my 7-inch tablet and my Kindle at the same time, both inside hard cases. Several small pockets: ideal for rectangular cuboids e.g. swiss army knife or similarly-shaped multi-tool, small spray bottle, lip salve, rolled-up bandage. There are 3 more pockets which are removable, being on one side of the removable central panel. Two of the built-in pockets have velcro retaining flaps, which I found to be a nuisance in the confined space (they got in the way and kept attaching themselves to things) so I cut them off.3. The removable central panel has pockets on one side and is entirely velcro on the other, being designed for attaching modular Maxpedition items, but really only slim ones otherwise the bag interior gets too squashed. I've found I can attach Maxpedition's Entity Low Profile panel ASIN B079YYS6HR or the Entity Utility panel ASIN B079Z8JSGQ to the central panel as they are both velcro-backed; or place the two (grey) Entity panels back to back in place of the Neatfreak panel. The Entity panels are a bit shorter than the Neatfreak panel and that makes access easier to the Neatfreak's interior.4. Built-in long fabric cord with plastic carabiner/clip for keys etc.EXTERIOR / SECURITY:(i) The exterior material feels strong and sturdy, as you'd expect with Maxpedition quality. It's stood up to a couple of heavy downpours.(ii) Button lock for the main compartment's zip pull - you fasten a popper down over the ends of the zip pulls. The popper is stiff and hard to do up one-handed.(iii) The paracord zip pulls help to give the Neatfreak its outdoor look, but I replaced them with softer zip extenders which I find easier to use when wearing gloves.(iv) There's no security for the bag as a whole but can use padlocks, or like me replace the shoulder strap for one with TurnLocks at each end so you can attach the bag to a stationary object without having to carry padlocks for that purpose.CARRYING: It has top and side handles i.e. a handle on every side except underneath, plus a shoulder or across body carry strap that's adjustable and fully removable; the shoulder/across body carry strap comes with a removable pad to help weight distribution. Shoulder strap's adjusted length is 52" max. and 29" min.FRONT: This has a pocket that's mesh so from the outside you can see what's in it; the height and width dimensions are a good size but you can't get anything thick into it. It has a fold-over lid that incorporates an additional zippered pocket plus two rows of PALS webbing (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) for attaching things using D-rings etc. The rows (or rather columns) on the outside edges are, I've found, a tiny fraction too small to take Maxpedition's tac-ties! Personally I think the Neatfreak's front looks ugly like that, but fortunately it's been designed so that you can tuck the PALS flap inside out of the way.REAR: There's a slip pocket, which takes either a Kindle or a 7-inch tablet. There are modular velcro flaps (strong, very loud velcro) to secure the NeatFreak onto a backpack, leg rig, or tactical vest; I don't use them for those purposes but tried to find a useful purpose and couldn't, so I find the velcro flaps annoying.COMBINED PRO & CONA. The main compartment's zips are quite loud. The velcro is strong and thus secure, but because it's strong it makes an extremely loud ripping sound - not good if trying to be discreet e.g. lecture, birdwatching, on a campsite in the quiet of the small hours, useless for spies.B. Some of the pockets are attached to others which limits them especially as they face each other, so they clash with each other unless the items are tiny. Basically it's a compromise - you may or may not find those pockets useful.C. The external material is too thick to have any "give" should you need it. When very full the bag tends to stick out from my hip in an unattractive way due to the stiff exterior material.D. It shows up dirt easily, but also wipes clean pretty easily. It's a good idea not to let dirt dry on.SPECS NOT ON AMAZON PAGE WHEN I BOUGHT (from Maxpedition):- 1000-Denier water and abrasion resistant light-weight ballistic nylon fabric- Triple polyurethane coated for water resistance- High tensile strength nylon webbing- High tensile strength composite nylon thread (stronger than ordinary industry standard nylon thread)- #AS-100 high grade closed-cell foam padding material for superior shock protection- Internal seams taped and finished- Stress points double stitched, Bartacked or "Box-and-X" stitched for added strength- YKK® high strength zippers and zipper tracks (YKK = Yoshida Manufacturing Corporation, the world's largest zip manufacturer)- Paracord zipper pulls- Teflon® fabric protector for grime resistance and easy maintenanceCLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (from Maxpedition): "MAXPEDITION's nylon fabric is treated with Dupont Teflon for superb water and grime resistance.

I've been trying for a decent edc bag for a while. This bag is expensive but worth every penny. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on cheaper bags previously.I highly recommend this product.

This is probably my favourite of all pouches and bags (and I have several, fr different manufacturers).Maxpedition makes great gear but the finish and sheer organisational layout is exceptional.If you have the money, get one. You won’t regret it!

Excelente tamaño, el más grande de las bolsas organizadoras, la utilizo dentro de una Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger y es súper útil. Tamaño grande, división de velkro, espacio para libretas medianas, po lumas, cables, llavero, etc! Indispensable si coleccionas o usas esta marca

Material de ótima qualidade e acabamento perfeito. Há muitos bolsos internos de vários tamanhos, pena que a maioria deles não tem zippers ou fecho tipo Velcro para fecha-los, se a bolsa é virada de cabeça para baixo os objetos saem dos bolsos. Zippers YKK e "Velcro" muito resistente. Note que embora haja muitos bolsos internos, nem todos podem ser usados ao mesmo tempo, pois, a bolsa não é profunda (uns 8 cm). Há uma competição pelo espaço interno.

Hallo ,es ist schon etwas kritisch 95 Euro für eine Tasche auszugeben ; vielleicht auch etwas irre .Aber wenn ich die ganzen Taschen zusammenrechne die ich im Vorfeld gekauft habe(minderwertig und billigst verarbeitet d.h. dem preis entsprechend) um nun diese zu kaufen wo ich 100% Zufrieden bin hätte ich diese Neatfreak bessser direkt gekauft und mir den ganzen anderen Müll gespart;und natürlich auch das Geld .Die Neatfreak ist äußert robust verarbeitet ,überzeugt bis ins Detail mit der guten innenaufteilung.Enorm Praktisch ,keine losen Nähte,für mich Perfekte größe .Super Trageriemen .Alles in allem Mega und jeden Cent wert .Sieht in Schwarz auch sehr gut aus .Durch Molle mit Grimlocks beliebig erweiterbar.Nun,nach 2 Monaten im taglichen Gebrauch sieht die Tasche aus wie am ersten Tag.Keine losen Fäden ,Reissverschlüsse in Neuzustand,keine abgenutzten ecken oder kanten.Einfach eine Mega Tasche .Der innenteiler hat auf einer Seite komplett klett;dort kann man Perfect das Maxpedition UPW anbringen und den dazugehörigen Inhalt verdeckt und geschützt tragen ist aber immernoch schnell zur Hand.Wer Ahnung hat weiß wo von ich Rede.... .

Well, never been an EDC bag carrying kinda guy before. But as the pandemic has worn on, I have found myself carrying around masks, gloves, hand sanitizer along with my usual stuff. I mean some stuff I leave in the car but having some of these things with ya when out is very handy. Not loading all my pockets up with stuff and keeping it all in one place, well this bag is a good solution for that. Load it, throw it over your shoulder and off ya go. Or keep all your stuff nicely organized in the bag and keep the bag tucked away in the car. Both ways have worked thus far for me.Tip: If you're gonna carry, don't overload it. It can get heavy.As with other Maxpedition products, this is very well made. There are allot of cheaper options out there, but I think where Maxpedition stands out is in the details and higher quality materials. I mean, this bag will likely last me a lifetime...

Très bonne sacoche. Elle semble très solide.Très bonnes finitions du produit.On peut y ranger une quantité impressionnante de choses...Cependant elle reste un peu grande pour une utilisation de mon quotidien.
