This is the 5th and final part of my EDC Organizer THROWDOWN video series, featuring the Maxpedition EDC Pocket Organizer vs. the Vanquest EDC Maximizer Organizer. I put each organizer through a series of tests to help idenitify their pros and cons. In this video, we tally all of the results and announce the winner of the throwdown.

Right now, I am looking for an EDC organizer and this video series just clarified the things for me, I'm going to buy the Vanquest! Thanks TheUrbanPrepper

My Brother In Law was here Thanksgiving, and oooo'ing and Ahhing on my various maxpedition kits, (EDC, tool kits, First Air, Fire Kit), and it became an obvious Christmas choice. I did mention that Vanquest was a contender too, and revisiting your old videos, I think that will be my pick. Mostly bases on the staggered stitching, and the better visibility from the orange backing.

The results of these tests are very conclusive for your needs. Personally I like the look and feel of the Maxpedition products more, especially their smaller organizers that I use for pocket organization. I'm sure the Vanquest is a great product, but there's not enough of a difference to convince me to change my systems as they are all still very capable products from Maxpedition.

I was surprised to see the Vanquest lose in the water test since they have the inverted protected zipper teeth design. It would have been nice to see that drag test done in conjunction with the stuff test so we could see how well they protected the gear inside if you ever get dragged like Indiana Jones lol. Great video!

mixflip LOL! Love the Indiana Jones comment. Yes, I am trying to fine tune the Drag Testing. I'd like to get it to a point that will be easily replicated and beneficial in terms of wear and tear.

Sweet! Been debating on a pouch for a while now. Made up my mind on the Vanquest, mainly do to the stitching and space.Thanks for all of your reviews!

machendachen You can't go wrong either way, but Vanquest raises the EDC Organizer bar (in my opinion).

Sadly, the elastic straps inside my Maxpedition Fatty have already stretched after two months and none of my tools will stay in place. Guess it's time to upgrade to the Vanquest. Thanks for the informative and detailed reviews!

Great Comparison and Showdown! I have both EDC's and you could hardly go wrong with either as you indicated. I do like the extra pockets, handle, color separation on the inside and the additional backside slots on the Vanquest. Just a note: I also have the Vanquest Micro (or their version of the Micro) and have found this particular zipper on this smaller pouch to be much harder to open and close than on the Maxpedition (maybe the inverted zipper is a bad choice here?). However, that's another Showdown! Either EDC bag will last a lifetime probably - unless you drag it behind a car that is! Thanks for review. I agree that in the end, Vanquest noses out Maxpedition on the EDC anyway.

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 жыл бұрын

Dennis Grecco Thanks for the great comment! That is good to know regarding the Micro version. I'll need to keep an eye out for that. I enjoy doing these throwdown videos. They're a lot of fun for me to film. Hopefully in the summer I will have more sunny days so these individual Throwdown videos won't be spaced as far apart.

I am interested in the micro. Do you know the name of Vanquests micro?

@05generic 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the thorough and helpful review. I would choose the Vanquest for the reasons you mentioned and because, frankly, I think they look nicer. And that matters when it comes to edc.

I dont have either EDC organizer. Thanks for giving me some heads up on this. My biggest beef with zippered things is that over time zippers can tend to get stuck... Any idea on which one of these will perform better from a strictly zipper lifespan standpoint?

@TheUrbanPrepper 9 жыл бұрын

Chad Solberg I think both zippers are equal, other than the Vanquest being inverted. Both are YKK and use paracord pullies. I've NEVER had a problem with either EDC organizer zipper through all of my testing. Both companies have great zippers, in my opinion.

I'm currently trying to get a to a less "tactical" look for my EDC Stuff, starting from the BAckpack to the Bags inside my Backpack (I've organized my EDC Stuff in Little Kits, simmilar to your system)... Currently "testing" (Means using :D) mostly Amazon Basics stuff... going to see where this is going or if I'm switching back to the "tactical" Look in the future :D (Even it's cheaper at with the less tactical stuff... but let's see) :D

Not sure Maxpedician should have won on price because if you order directly from Vanquest it's actually less expensive. What's the model number of the winner please? Going to buy it. Thanks.
