Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer


Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer

Going through my Everyday Carry items that are part of my Go Bag, today’s review is of the Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer.

I picked up the Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer about a month after a month of really liking it’s thinner mate the Maxpedition EDC. It does have a ton more storage space than the EDC, but to fit it fully loaded in an ABU cargo pocket is much like your wife trying to get into her prom dress for the 10 year reunion, you might be able to squeeze her in there, but it sure doesn’t look good.

That being said I’ve used it from the beginning to help organize my Go Bag. It holds a Frontier Straw Filter, water purification tablets, lighter, Energizer Headlamp, wet wipes, band aids, Gerber Strata Multi-Tool, small container of ibuprofen, 10 feet of paracord, an additional USB cord and plug in charger for micro-USB so I charge from a wall or USB outlet, and a zippered pocket with enough room for the discreet carry of  a passport, several credit cards and a bit of silver coinage.

It has worn really well, seeing as how the bag goes with me everywhere. Like most Maxpedition products the Fatty seems bullet proof in its long wearing ability. I really do like the large pull handle on top, makes it much easier to find it by feel according to size in the bag and then pull it out easily. It would definitely be large enough to put a back-up pistol (small frame) and an extra magazine without any outline of the pistol being obvious. It would not lend itself to getting to the pistol to bear very quickly, so it depends on what you’re looking for. It comes with a full complement of MOLLE straps on the back, but the usability of those will be determined by how much weight you’re packing in it.
