Maxpedition M-2 Waistpack

I received my Maxpedition M2 case a couple of weeks ago. I used the MOLLE ties and added it to the side of my Maxpedition Lunada bag after seeing that setup reviewed on You Tube.

Like most Maxpedition products, it's well made and very functional so there are no complaints in that area.

The (sort of) issue I have with the M2 is that the front pocket (with the snap down flap) is pretty deep. I've tried four cell phones in the front pocket (HTC Inspire, LG flip phone, Samsung bar phone, and Blackjack) and found that none are easy to retrieve. The larger phones don't leave much room on either side for fingers and the small phones are "way down in there" and the pocket is too small for me to reach down into easily. I've ended up leaving my HTC Inspire in the pocket for now; the HTC has a cover on it and I've learned how to get a hold of the relief area around the camera lens in order to extract it.

I'm not putting this out there as a "negative" since many will have a different need or experience but it's information that I didn't come across before I purchased my M2.

This a great sized man purse that I added to the strap on my fatboy bag. It had to go on sideways but works well there. It is meant to be put on your belt which is a good option if you want to down size.

Great sturdy waistpack. I'm using it for a belt survival pouch and it can hold just about all the essentials. Not as much room as the M-1 obviously, but still a good size.

I travel frequently and carry a camera backpack with a laptop sleeve. While the backpack has sufficient capacity in it's top pocket for all my miscellaneous items, it's just one large pocket. Consequently, it can be a bit of a pain to retrieve the phone's charging cable and ear-buds which I often use when I get to the gate or my seat on the plane.

This pouch is about as small as it could be while still meeting my primary requirement which is to provide a place to keep my Galaxy S3 including its slim protective case. If you check the dimensional specs on the S3 and the front pocket of this items, you might conclude the front pocket of this item is too small. However, I am happy to report that is not the case. The sides are elastic and the top is adjustable. Consequently it fits with just enough sticking out the top of the pocket so that it is easy to remove the phone.

The pouch attaches to my belt so cannot be removed without some effort but since its contents are critical I view that as a positive. Removing my belt to go through security takes no more time than without the pouch, plus I can use the pouch as temporary home for items I normally keep in my pockets but must relocate as I go through security. I'd almost purchased one of the larger models or a fanny pack but am very happy I decided to try this one first.

It is hard to imagine a higher quality product. The material is very heavy duty. I have used and abused mine and there is no fraying or sign or wear. The zipper is not one of those cheap ones, it is top grade. I have never had any performance problems with it.

It has a nice wide belt loop. It will easily attach to just about any belt or pack.

The pouch is on the small side, which is what I wanted. I use it to hold a small survival kit. It holds everything with no room to spare. It would hold a cell phone or small camera, but not much else.
