Maxpedition believes in uncompromising durability, combined with modernized aesthetics and a broadened palette of custom materials and components. A front-most pocket inside the MCAP is 5" wide x 2" tall for small items. Other than a couple of small pouches, I usually leave the chest area of any range rigs I wear relatively free. The only time was when I transitioned from left to right shoulder - the rifle butt would sometimes catch on it as I not used to having something mounted in the center of my chest.
I found it very useful on a pack, as an external organizer for small items. This is where the little electronic gadgets so. It's a well thought-out design.
The only thing I might change would be to use a clearer transparent plastic for the ID window, as the slight texture blurs out details if the plastic isn't completely flat up against the contents. They come in two sizes: 7 x 5 and 8 x 6 , which refer to the dimensions of the center compartment. The MOIRE pouches are made of a very fine abrasion-resistant nylon mesh which is still and feels surprisingly tough. Each pouch has three compartments - the large center compartment and two smaller outside ones.
The outside compartments are flat. There's a swivel snap hook on one end of the pouch and a 1" webbing loop at the other, for use with slik-clips or dummy cording. The main compartment is 7" x 5" x 1. The side compartments measure 7. The MOIRE pouches are translucent enough to give the user a quick visual check of their contents, which makes them perfect for organizing small items. A brief examination of the pouch and an item is quickly identified and located.
The mesh also allows drainage. Of course, that also works in reverse, so don't store items that need to be protected from moisture in a MOIRE pouch. These make great little travel pouches for toiletries or carrying laptop accessories. Both can be worn horizontally or vertically.
These will accomodate them, most other pistol mags, my Surefire C2 light, or two single stack. The dual mag pouch has elastic retention, which I'd also like to see put on the single mag pouch. What more can I say - I like them! Update: Planned improvements since this article was written: Adding elastic to single mag pouch done Tightening elastic on double mag pouch done.
Designed much like their magazine pouches, they're more compact as they don't have adjustable length lids. Basically, they've got a velcro-closed lid, elastic retention around the sides, and a belt loop and malice clip compatible webbing on the back.
I have an Inova X5 which fit the 4" pouch perfectly. You want to have a little bit of the item showing above the sides of the pouch so it can be grabbed easily. The tube diameter is 1. Both have grommeted bottoms. Much to my glee, they'll fit single-stack. Fit is snug and secure. They make very compact magazine pouches. Nope, they won't fit any sort of double-stack 9mm mags - I tried. They're so narrow they'll fit easily on that spare column of PALS webbing you've got on your vest.
Both the box and pouch are mounted in a stiff platform that provide support, yet will conform to the curvature of the waist. The main 'box' has a double zippered opening. Inside, the box is seperated into compartments by a bellows-type divider, which will fit PDAs, compasses, or two pistol mags etc. On the outside of the box is a velcro-closed pocket, and a hidden compartment behind that. Pen slots on the sides of the box hold a pen or two. The H2 has an adjustable-lid pistol mag or multi-tool pouch, while the H3 has a cell phone pouch.
I mounted on of these on the front of the Falcon pack not like it needs any more pockets , and it'll fit any other pack with PALS webbing on the outside. The pouches are easily accessed, if you don't want to dig inside the main pack. I predict we'll see more of these mounted likewise. My initial impression of it was that it was smaller than it looked in some pictures.
It's not a large or bulky waistpack, but actually quite compact see the photo below showing it in comparison to a 1-litre Nalgene bottle. The 2" wide waistbelt can be stowed under the rear panel, which has 4 channels of PALS webbing which can be used with 3" or 6" malice clips. Twin compression straps run under the pack to the front, and mate to a harness which forms the top carry handle. There are attach points for modular pouches on the outsides of the front and side compartments.
The Proteus is built around a main compartment, with approximate dimensions of 9" x 6" x 3". It has a single mesh pocket inside it. On the front of the Proteus is a 8" x 5" x 1. There is a pen slot on each side of the front compartment. The pack is flanked on each side by two compartments that are about 5" x 3" x 2" in size.
As mentioned above, I thought the main compartment was a bit small, even though it'll hold a large handgun with no problem. I tried to see what common items I could fill the Proteus with so that everyone could get an accurate idea of its capacity. Much to my surprise, I was able to stuff two GI 1-quart canteens, one on top of the other see pic , in the main compartment. A pilot's hip flask filled up the front compartment.
Each of the two side compartments could hold 2 GI M16 round magazines or 4 hi-cap pistol magazines Sig P in this case. Not too shabby for this little pack.
M-4 Large Waistpack - Seen below is the M-4 waistpack in khaki. It has a flap which can stow inside, plus a cinchable storm collar. There are two small pouches on each side of the pouch, with adjustable lids. I could fit my Surefire C2 and a pistol mag in either one. On the outside is a small zippered pocket. I was able to fit 5 rnd thermold magazines in the main compartment. Thermolds are slightly wider than USGI aluminum mags.
The Mini is sized to fit a Nalgene bottle and can be worn via a belt loop or with a single malice clip. It is also the only one of the 3 sizes that is also available in a black mesh. All pouches have a belt loop if malice clips are not used.
The Mega is a large pouch, and has added loops at the bottom for an optional thigh strap. It also has a non-elastic cord closure, whereas the Mini and MM pouches have shock cord closed openings. There is a belt loop so malice clips are not needed to mount on a belt, there is a siamese slik clip on the top as an additional attach point, and the bottom is rectangular, instead of round. It functions and folds up identically, and will hold the same number of mags.
It's a multi-functional pouch and its uses are endless. It can be used on the range to dump your empty mags in, hold shotshells, a water bottle, use as an evidence pouch for LE, throw your night vision goggles or binoculars into.
It attaches via malice clips sold separately to any PALS compatible gear. The 3-colour desert version seen here is a limited edition and is not available anymore. As seen below in the two pics, the pouch can be slid onto a belt using the belt loop instead of malice clips.
Or the malice clips can be used as belt loops if it's inconvenient to remove other pouches to slide the MM dump pouch on. Shown below is the AR The Gunsite rolly is also available in black, khaki and OD. The Red Rolly has black trim and hardware while the Orange and Yellow ones have foliage grey hardware. The new colours are designed for professionals like fire fighters, EMS and SAR, range instructors etc, where hi-vis gear helps to increase one's visiblity to others.
Of course, they work just as well for plain civvies like me. I've attached one to a kid carrier for some extra room. No telling when the kid is going to want a snack.
They've recently introduced a new colour for the Rollypoly series - Wolf Grey. The shade of grey used is a little darker than most grey nylons I've seen. Similar products with same quality even better cost less. I just want to make a point how much they are overpriced. It's just nylon, velcro and plastic buckles They are not made from Krypton. Any they don't make anything that u can't find from some other brands. And the "incident" of course Diecastfreak , Schuey and SAKplumber like this.

However I think my next bag is going to be a Rush Simply for the quality from that price point. The one area I wish other companies would jump on board with is pocket organizers.
I know other brands make them but so far none compare to Maxped's, imo anyways. I'm not talking about quality, just pure function. Donovan Lai Empty Pockets.
