    Got my Black Friday package from Vanquest whose products seem to be thumping the Maxpedition competition. Will fill them at the weekend and hopefully post some pictures.

    Got an FTIM-SLIM, FTIM-HUSKY & a PPM-HUSKY as I have a lot of EDC stuff. saw a few Utube vids on the bags and was well impressed.

    At least everything I have will be in one of three places going forward.

    What's the quality of them like ? Been toying with getting a vanquest fatpak but unsure of the quality

    Quality is top notch, not one bit flimsy.

    I think you'll find Shadow Fox hard to please are they certified to withstand a nuclear bomb blast after being chewed and fought over by rabid dogs for a minimum of 4 hours ;)

    btw must be annoying that you couldn't fit the TV remote in :D:o

    Thanks for the great pics they look the business.

    I'm not hard to please I just like good quality at those prices. Got caught out with the condor hype wasted €40 on a first aid pouch when a maxpedition one was a tenner more and 100 times better

    Very intrigued by these, have one maxp that I really like. A few new choices are always welcome

    I'm interested, been considering one of these or the Maxpedition equivalent.

    I particularly like these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Combat-Military-Pocket-Organiser-Multicam/dp/B00LZUMML4/ and have two of them. They are available a lot cheaper but that Amazon.co.uk link has some decent pictures. Also found it here and pictured below. Do hunt around for the best price as I think I only paid £6 each for mine in the UK.

    You can get them in loads of colours and I under several different brand names. The quality is good insofar as they are pretty tough but the stitching isn't as accurate as on some more expensive makes.

    When open the LHS has 5 (and a half) pen/pencil loops with a full size pocket behind. The RHS has a useful phone type pocket that folds down with a full size pocket behind thats split in two top to bottom. Plus a tape on one side and a string on the other to clip on to things you don't want to loose. There is also a half mesh pocket on the front, belt loops and handle.

    I've been carrying one around in my EDC rucksack for over a year and it still looks as good as new.

    One point to bare in mind is that its very easy with these to put all your expensive handy items in one handy little organiser which means you can easily loose the lot in one go.

    Right Pictures of the FTIM Slim. Hopefully this will give you an idea what you can get into one of these things.
