Unsuccessful attempt at a man purse By Geodasher
This is a rugged bag made in Taiwan with heavy fabric, sturdy zippers and much velcro. Unfortunately, it is overdesigned for the job with too many specialized pockets that take up room but are of little use. A (removable) internal divider makes the inside even less functional. If I actually put something in half the pockets the bag will not close, and then things are likely to fall out of the unsecured inside pockets. The stiff, thick fabric and velcro on the outside flap pocket and rear attachment strips catch on things. The coating on the inside pockets rubs off on electronic gear and personal items. For a bag designed to carry gadgets, it is surprising that none of the pockets are padded. The bag needs to be simplified and to use more appropriate materials. Note that the manufacturer's site would not publish this review even though they solicit comments.Well-made, But Ultimately Unable To Employ Purposefullly By Stuart Steele
Let me first state that I love Maxpedition gear. I have so much of it that I will not be in need of a Christmas gift until 2047 :). I carry a Fatty pocket organizer and a Vulture-II backpack every day. This bag, however, just didn't come out right, in my opinion.
Very well-made, like all of the other Maxpedition products I have owned. However, like just a very few of their products, this one suffers from an unimaginative, utility-restricting design. There is a multitude of small pockets lining the interior surfaces of this bag. Each is about the right size for the severed finger of a vanquished enemy. However, I don't vanquish enemies, so I puzzled long and hard about what else to put into these pockets. Alas, in the end, my decision was not to put something into this bag, but put this bag into something, which turned out to be the closet.
The pockets are generally wide, but flat: if you have a lots of flattish things to carry, then these pockets will do a good job, but they ended up just a little bit to tight to accomodate GPS- and cellphone-sized items.
Strange for Maxpedition, there is a decidedly Rube Goldberg pocket-bedecked central divider which hangs out with ("attaches to" overstates their friendship) a velcro strip on the floor of the bag. This a.) got in the way when empty, and b.) fell out under its own weight when loaded, and the bag was jarred in a certain way (zipper open, upside down, coming to a halt as the slack in the strap is taken up).Awesome EDC Bag!!! By William B. Zimmerly
I purchased this bag in August of 2010 and it sat unused for a long time until I finally figured out how to properly use it as an EDC bag. It took a long time to get to that point for all of the reasons that people "Con" it. What I found out is that it needs a long break-in time packed tight with a lot of "junk" to expand it along with a lot of human crunching, twisting, and abuse to loosen it up. I removed the middle "flap" and retired it to the closet, making the Neatfreak a LOT less cumbersome.
After I got it sufficiently "loose enough," I removed all of the "junk" used to expand it, and realised something that amazed me - my current EDC bag, a fully-loaded Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer would fit *PERFECTLY* in the back pocket with the fold-down Velcro strap! Most of my "must-have" EDC items were in the Fatty, but I regretted not being able to carry in it a few other items that I wanted. But now, with the Fatty sitting in the Neatfreak's back pocket, I could add those few items that I was missing.
The most notable item was a bottle of Hand Sanitiser! I like this product a lot because I can easily clean my hands without a visit to the bathroom of wherever I am, and since it is more than 60% alcohol, it makes a great fire-starting accelerator too! The bottle fits perfectly to the left side of the Fatty - outside the pocket - and on the right side I keep my Leatherman Surge multi-tool. In the small pockets between them, I keep a magnesium fire stick and a knife sharpener.
On the opposite side of the Fatty, I keep pens, paper, an emergency blanket, and on the strap I keep an emergency whistle. In the gun magazine pockets, I keep USB cables for my cell-phone and camera (which themselves reside in the Fatty) along with two spare batteries for the cell-phone, matches and a lighter for my three ways of starting a fire in an emergency. In spite of all of that, there is still plenty of room for other items! I keep germ masks in case of emergencies in the front webbing pocket, and for quick access, my IDs, credit cards, and cash in the front zipper pocket.
Finally, I keep a large pill bottle filled with cotton balls to round-out my EDC. The cotton makes good tinder - just soak it in Hand Sanitiser, and the pill bottle can double as a cup to drink out of in an emergency situation.
The Neatfreak is now my favourite EDC bag and it goes with me everywhere! I love the modularity of having it hold the Fatty. I am a confirmed Neatfreak fanatic and never leave home without it.
