Maxpedition Cap Compact Admin Pouch

I was already a big fan of Maxpedition pouches. From what they now call the 'legacy range', I have a couple of the larger beefy ones to keep stuff together in my vehicle and an EDC one in black which I have used for years and has kept all of my essentials in one place. Two reasons for this, firstly because they are easy to get to and you know where they are, and secondly because you can move them from bag a to bag b, in seconds, rather than having to unpack and repack bags. The legacy series are great, tough and almost indestructible and with great water proofing. Inside organisation works really well with elastic loops and pockets to get your stuff under control.But I decided to upgrade to the CAP as this is part of the Maxpedition AGR (advanced gear range) and I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. I didn't honestly think that Maxpedition could make anything but very small improvements to their existing pouches, but I was very wrong about that. The CAP is streets ahead of its older version in so many ways. Let's look at my top 2.1: Organisation.The CAP has two compartments, so two sets of dual zippers. The pouch does not open fully in clamshell style as the original does, but the two compartments immediately gives you even more options for organisation. I didn't think I would need two compartments on my EDC pouch until I had them, and now I am a convert. In terms of space, I am not sure how Maxpedition did it, but all of the stuff from my legacy pouch went into the CAP and then there was room to spare. Given they are almost identical in height and width, and the depth of the full CAP was the same as the legacy one (I measured it), I was not sure how this was possible. But it fits more stuff and than it a big bonus. My current kit is shown in the photos above (minus a few items like a torch which is on charge) and you can see that the pouch seems about half empty. Maxpedition are using a new light coloured fabric inside which genuinely does make it easier to see your stuff, particularly in low light situations.2: LooksThe looks of the original EDC pouch were functional. I never really worried about aesthetics and function trumps fancy design any day. But the new CAP looks sleeker and just more polished than the old one. The use of two new materials on the CAP does it with the 500d ripstop nylon giving it a nice sleek look and the ATLAS system (a laser cut PALS system) on the front of the bag looking great too. Here is where Maxpedition have tweaked their original design and made some excellent improvements. The old pouches had a very shallow mesh pocket on the front, maybe enough to keep a pack of tissues or a cloth, but not much else. Then there was a square of velcro for a morale patch. Both of these were not that useful to be honest, so the sleek look of the ATLAS system won me over. I didn't plan on using the PALS to attach anything on the outside of the pouch, although I can see that I might attach two pouches together and then pass a strap through the D rings (another new addition) to make a small carrying pack. The CAP comes with the maxpedition tacties included which is an excellent move on their part as you have everything you need to attach it to another bag. The zip pulls are now moulded plastic rather than paracord loops, and that is also a great addition as your finger just fits in really easily. The zips are YKK and get smoother with use (they are stiff to start with) and are very strong so you can apply force to open the bag if you are in a hurry without fear of breaking them.This is not a cheap pouch, I think Maxpedition make the most expensive stuff in this 'edc pouch' category, but the cost is well worth it. If you are going to put stuff in this you use everyday then the ease of use and the time you will save not looking for 'lost' stuff will justify the cost. The other thing is that this will last and last and last, so you only have to buy it once and it is not going to let you down. Maxpedition build quality is the best and the price reflects it.

Usual good quality from maxpedition and this pouch has a lot of useful features to keep things organised.

Great bags as always

Great product for all my EDC. Bit expensive and only time will tell how the quality holds up

good quality, solid, useful. very fast shipment 👏🏼 I would recommend it to everyone.

Quality was excellent, but just too expensive for what you get, so returned for refund

The pouch is very nice, unfortunately it did not arrive with the advertised 2 straps, so it cannot be fixed to my molle adequately and flops around a bit/is vulnerable to being caught on things.There is no means of directly contacting the seller so hopefully this is seen and the missing strap sent. This is quite happily a 5 star product and a review I'd amend to reflect that, once the missing strap is sent.***EDIT: I have edited this from the original 3 stars to 1 as the seller has not made any attempt to reach out to rectify regarding the feedback and/or send the outstanding strap and I have now had to pay £10 to purchase the strap individually.TLDR; the product is fine but missing item, poor service and notable cost to rectify.

Maxpedition quality control should have really picked up on this before it even reached a retailer. Missed nearly an inch of stitching on the seam.I'm finding myself needing to carry more stuff daily as I get older, so decided to get myself a man bag. Splashed out on one of these as it looks cool, and Maxpeditions reputation for quality is second to none. Not in this case.Sadly it's easier for me to have this repaired than go through the hassle of returning it.I'd have been a very happy customer, the bag is just what I needed, but I feel I have a factory second at full price.

This maxpedition pouch has to be one of the best I've owned, great quality and can hold alot of items in it.

Comprei pro meu marido e ele amou, tem mil compartimentos e o chato da organização pode ser feliz novamente. Indicamos.

Justo lo que necesitaba para organizar mis pequeños dispositivos y cables de cómputo, discos duros, adaptadores, etc.Creo que es más espacio del que realmente requiero, incluso lo he llegado a usar para meter mi celular, cartera, monedero y llaves. Como también tengo la correa que vende Maxpedition, queda perfecta para llevar esas 4 cosas que necesitas en cualquier salida.Un detalle que no me gustó es que no tiene el logo de Maxpedition en ninguna parte del exterior de la bolsa, solo en el interior. Esto no afecta en nada a su funcionamiento, el producto es original y la calidad es la acostumbrada de la marca.

Difficilmente sostituibile . Non ce nulla Di meglio per qualità e capacità organizzative . Sono molto soddisfatto

Wollte eine kleine EDC Tasche, die ich auch für relativ stolzen Preis bekam.Die Tasche ist tatsächlich sehr klein, um relativ alles reinzubringen, was man so braucht.Habe mir deswegen extra einen kleineren Geldbeutel gekauft, da mein normaler nicht reinpassen würde.Die Schlaufen finde ich unglaublich praktisch, aber Schlüssel, Geldbeutel und Kopfhörer müssen einfach irgendwo in der Mitte liegen.Wer Schultergurt will, muss weitere 25€ extra zahlen - hier würde ich empfehlen zur Konkurenz zu greifen, da bekommt man gleichen Gurt für etwa 12€.Ich bin bis jetzt allein mit dem Griff zufrieden, da ich die Tasche sonst im Fahrradgepäck als Organiser habe, um nicht ständig die gesamte Tasche durchsuchen zu müssen.
