![]() ![]() Tasmanian Tiger EDC Pouch: A traditional Cordura MOLLE pouch, not so perfectly organized but still with a lot of features. Apart from this I can’t think of anything ‘not so good’ in this pouch. Also that cool-looking green material is actually quite noisy to use (a consequence of thin laminated fabric) – not an issue for most except maybe hunters. I’d equip both main zippers with double-slider zippers, not just one. Or like in my case a mini-sized Field Notes notebook. And last but not least, there is a small backside zipper pocket with a flannel-like material lining, which is great for anything like documents, small sunglasses or a wallet. It really swallows anything I put in there, including a small flask with Jack Daniels, a headlamp, fire starting kit, cables, powerbank, knife, etc. and you’ve got the picture of this compartment. ![]() Add to that rubber webbing keepers, a small zipper pocket inside for tiny items like SD cards etc. ![]() ![]() The next zipper (double-slider one) opens the main compartment with an X-grid 4-slot elastic divider. Opposite to the grid you can find two square (elastic) pockets with flaps, where I usually keep my cables, paracord spool by Sagewood Gear, and other small items like lens filters. Behind the first zipper there’s a high-density rubber bungee / webbing grid and it can be used for almost anything – cables, tools, a flashlight, pocketknife, sharpeners, even a short spork – you name it. I usually prefer minimalistic organization in bags and packs but pouches are a different story. The internal organization is nothing short of brilliant. With 6 x 8.5 x 3 inch dimensions, and less than half a pound of weight, it represents really great functionality versus size. Each and every detail has been made to match the overall pouch design (like grab handles made of the same 210D HT TPU nylon). This hi-tech pouch is built to last and to protect from the elements anything you store inside. The stitching is top-notch and the zippers are waterproof YKKs with spring-loaded self-blocking sliders. This works as expected, without any issues and the light gray color allows you to easily find even the tiniest items. Inside they used ripstop nylon and stretchy mesh for some pockets. Perfect materials and attention to details – it’s just striking how nicely this pouch has been executed! The laminated 210D HT TPU nylon is durable, waterproof and looks just great in semi-matte olive green. So if you half-empty your new toothpaste before each hike and cut off the last two inches of your toothbrush simply stop reading here please. But I know that ‘true’ ultralight backpackers would simply use IKEA zipper bags instead of the Tek Case. Who It Doesn’tĪt just 0.2kg it is not a heavy item, especially considering all the features. Or finally if you’re tired with multiple zipper bags and want to carry everything in one pouch – yeah, get the Tek Case and call it a day. If a dedicated spot in your pouch for a dedicated item is your packing philosophy, you’ll love it. If you’re an organization geek the Tek Case would be perfect for you. Enjoy! Who It SuitsĪll travelers and commuters who carry more than just a couple of items in EDC rotation, plus some cables, a charger, etc. But the pouch itself is actually a final product (it should be offered soon as a separate item) so I thought I’d do a quick drive-by for you. I had an opportunity to try out the Arris pack and pouches in the prototyping stage (with full feedback to Boundary). It’s part of the Arris travel pack system, which has just been introduced on Kickstarter. Okay, not ‘just’ a pouch, but the most advanced pouch I’ve ever had in my hands – the Tek Case by Boundary Supply. After reviewing many packs and bags it was quite refreshing to check out for you just a pouch. ![]()
