I ordered this but only plan on putting small and thin stuff on the outside slots. Like the super thin victorinox alox classic sd, a small skinny pen about 6 or 7mm thick, and the Aerocrafted titanium utility knife. I’m also going to put 4 cards and a few bills inside. I might report back on how i like it 🫡
Such a refreshing take on these items. Thank you. I was on the fence about the regular zip pouch and I am now certain that i am making the right choice for me in avoiding the pro. Thank you!!
I think it depends on your edc carry… the bench made griptillian and larger pen fits great on the outside pocket of my pro…. Will definitely not fit inside the smaller non-pro
I used to play this to death at our gigs! Irdial were one of those labels where you bought it without even listening to it! In Sync’s “Storm”, “Ratcatcher” and “Pomping World” were particular favourites for our crowd!
I guess I understand your perspective but I feel the whole point of external access is exactly that, accessibility. You need it, there it is. Like an external water bottle pocket in.a bag which some people NEED. I sometimes need it to be external sometimes not and I don't mind to put it inside the bag BUT if I need to, there it is. I guess is the same with this Pro pouch, you can use it as the regular zip pouch but in case you need something to be more accesible you've got the choice. I have the Zip Cardholder, which is exactly the same as the Pro but one of the back slots is sized to fit a credit card which comes in handy in my case for the subway card and such, I never have to reach inside for it and I carry just a pen in the other slot and that's it. the access to the zippered compartments is not that compromised at all. All comes down to user experience I guess.
I'm glad you made this video. I think it's important to recognize that the 'pro' pouch doesn't ADD any extra storage compared the 'non-pro' pouch. The only difference here is accessibility: some people like having tools in a specific, proper place (with the trade off being less space efficient). I love my pro pouch, but I also recognize it has limits. For example, I use only about half of the inner pockets because I need to account for the knife and other tool pockets. That half a pocket is more than enough for me to stuff a spare lens cloth and a small first aid kit. I don't usually open this pocket, so it can be stuffed and formed to fit the shape of the tools outside.
This broadcast was the first time I heard Orbital and this track in particular stood out. Remember feeling it sounded so "functional", like clockwork or something.
i wonder, if the tools you want to include (knife, flashlight, etc) had a carry clip, could you clip the tools to the pockets but not slip the tools itself inside? if so, does that help any keeping the zipped pockets more usable?
