Micro Pocket Organizer

There are plenty of pocket organizers out there but Maxpedition won my trust when it comes to storing my EDC. And the Micro pocket organizer didn’t disappoint. Small enough to put in your pocket/cargo or just throw it in your backpack. The build quality is great, value excellent and will last you for years.

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.

Bought this to carry and store a small power bank and charging cord for travel and home. Fits perfectly. Very sturdy, built like a tank but very light. This is my second one and will buy more.

I bought the Micro and the Mini to store a small camping fire kit. Ultimately neither were large enough, but I kept them around for other uses. Currently, this Micro serves as my writing kit and it's excellent for the job. It's large enough to hold a number of pens and markers, 20+ 3x5 index cards and a small 3x5 spiral notebook. It's small enough to fit just about anywhere in a bag and the large grab loop makes it easy to retrieve. It would make for a good small first aid or boo-boo kit. The only real con, to me, is the lack of a velcro field for patches: I like to use patches or nametapes to identify my organizers so I know what is in them at a glance. The Micro is the only Maxpedition organizer that does not have one. Other than that this is a great piece of kit. A note about counterfeit products: There are concerns about Amazon selling fake Maxpedition products, due to some of the photos shown above. The original stock photos show a tag saying Made in Taiwan, while many people (myself included) have received pouches made in Vietnam. So, I called Maxpedition about it. I explained that I was concerned about it being a fake, but as I bought it from Amazon LLC, not a vendor, maybe I had gotten some new old stock. I explained that my 3-year-old Fatboy says "Hard Use Gear" on the front and had a tag that said Made In Taiwan. They said that they are currently, as of 2016, producing pouches and bags in Vietnam and that they no longer say "Hard Use Gear" on the front. I was told that Amazon buys directly from Maxpedition so there is no chance I got a fake. When I commented that the pouch I have does not look quite like the one on Maxpedition's website, she said the photos were out of date. This is just what they look like now. She told me if anyone has questions or concerns about having received a fake, send photos to [email protected] and they'll let you know if it's real.

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.

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.

Works great in front pocket of jeans for carrying some basic first aid gear. If fully packed out its bulky in a pocket but that was just when I wanted to see how much I could cram in it. But not bulky at all with just things like some band aids, a roll of gauze, some cleanng wipes/ointment and some self sticking gauze wrapped up around business card to help with larger cuts. A bit on the small side if you're looking to put a portable charger in it, jump up to the mini or edc pouch for that, but then youre getting too large for pocket carry.

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.

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.
