EDCM-SLIM 2.0: EDC Maximiser Organiser

EDCM-SLIM 2.0 improvements: (1) easy access front slip pocket, (2) total 23 elastic webbing slots with pen/marker/pencil sized slots, (3) three position removable 15.2cm (overall) double hook key chain tether.

EDCM-SLIM is the smallest of Vanquests Everyday Carry Maximiser™ (EDCM) series: 20.3cm (H) x 15.2cm (W) x3.1cm (D). It features 23 of our “Maximiser” offset-stitched elastic channels, and 3 flat pockets that deliver unparalleled organisation. If you are looking for a low-profile organiser to accommodate your essential EDC items, EDCM-SLIM is what you need.

Utilising Vanquests signature “Maximiser” staggered/offset elastic loops, you maximise the use of the internal space than other pouches using elastic webbing with shared stitches. Now with pen/marker/pencil sized slots.

EDCM-SLIM gives you ample space for essential gear while keeping a flat profile when fully loaded. There’s a large flat pocket on both the left and right panel, each with 1″ paracord loops on top. A removable 6″ double hook key chain tether can be placed on either side in three positions.

Pull handle and lockable #8 YKK zippers with circular paracord pulls for security and easy access. 1,000-D CORDURA® with TEFLON® by DuPont®, and MOLLE/PALS back panel further provide durability and modularity.

You can attach the pouch onto any MOLLE/PALS surface with MOLLE Sticks (#99MS5X4*); or convert it to a hook-and-loop attachment using the MOHL-Air adapter panel (#017700*); or use our 1″ UNIVERSAL STRAP (#012001*) to carry it over your shoulder. *Optional accessories.

FAQ: What is a “Maximiser™”, and how is it better than the other EDC organisers I have?

Answer: VANQUEST® Maximiser™ is a series of improved organisers that use our proprietary Maximiser™ webbing to “maximise” the use of space. The Maximiser™ webbing uses staggered/offset elastic loop channels, and is 15.5% more efficient in saving space compared to traditional elastic loops with shared-stitching.

In nature, geometry of a honeycomb achieves the maximum use of space with minimal use of material and weight. In other words, VANQUEST® Maximizer’s staggered / offset elastic loops are like those hexagon units in a honeycomb (See diagram):

Given the objects stored all have the same diameter (e.g. a Sharpie, or a flashlight), each repeating hexagon unit is 15.5% smaller than traditional elastic loop arrangement (square), and that’s how we “MAXIMIZE” the use of space.
