Maxpedition M1 Waistpack- not Just Another Sissy Waistpack
The M1 Waistpack is one of the most popular items in the Maxpedition range of waistpacks.
The M1 is 15cms long by 11cms wide and approximately 8–10cms deep. There is a main compartment that is secured by two seriously large YKK zips that you manipulate using paracord pulls. Inside the compartment there is one main space with two little side pockets against each wall.
Fairly straight forward.
The second compartment is a little more interesting. This one has a elasticized retention system that can be adjusted with some heavy duty
elasticized cord that is secured in place by cordlock. I suppose the idea is to create a concertina system that will allow the compartment
to expand to accommodate a larger item.
The outside compartment is also secured by a flap that has both velcro and a high grade snap lock to keep it from coming loose. There are two more little hidey-holes that I haven’t mentioned. One on the outside of the flap which is a zippered compartment, good for your coins or maybe
even a condom. The other one is inside the bellows compartment, and I haven’t found anything to slip into there yet, but give me time.
Finally, the M1 features a super sturdy belt loop that will take anything up to a 3 inch belt. Alternatively it can be used to secure your M1 to another Maxpedition pack using their patented system which employs Molle straps. It’s not something that I’ve looked into but I’m sure some people find it right handy.
So what exactly does one use the M1 for, and why buy it in the first place? Basically it allows you to carry your essential gear around with you, if you prefer not to be lugging a larger pack everywhere. It will take a multi-tool, ID documents, flashlight, spare cells, cellphone,
Space Pen, and a few other bits and pieces with no trouble at all.
Problems with the M1? So far, none. The thing is built like a tank, to Maxpedition’s usual standards. The only quibble I have is that they
could have done away with one of the little side pockets in the main compartment. The reason being is when you are shoving things into it while on the go, they tend to catch on the lip of the pocket.
I think just the one pocket would have been fine for the main compartment, as there are plenty of other little hidey holes distributed throughout the thing. I would also say that I think the
velcro on the underside of the bellows flap is a little unnecessary, but I guess it will come in handy if you neglect to snap the lock closed, which is entirely possible when you’re on the move.
All in all though, the M1 is a winner, and at $20 or so, you really can’t fault it. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a carry system that doesn’t scream “Michael Jackson fan”.
The M1, like all Maxpedition products, is available in basic black, olive drab and khaki.
