How to Use Maxpedition Waistpacks

Maxpedition, a company in Gardena, California, that started out manufacturing military equipment, now carries a range of Maxpedition waistpacks -- hardy, water-and abrasion-resistant bags made of dense 1000-denier nylon fabric, attached to the belt and worn at hip level. They are useful for hunters, sport fishermen, hikers and people who carry lots of electronic equipment for work. The M-1 is compact and versatile and can store your cell phone and camera; the M-4 has a GI canteen with magazine pouches; and the M-5 features a first-aid kit with accordion dividers. The H-1 is a hybrid model designed for portable electronics while the Triad Admin Pouch combines three features into a maximum storage organizer.

      Pull the shock-cord to collapse the bag down when it is not full. This will give you a more streamlined effect.
