I'm always on the hunt for a better way to carry my EDC. For me, compact and pocketable is the goal—I don’t want to resort to a waist pack or sling unless absolutely necessary. The reality is, my gear doesn’t get used every day, but when the need arises, it matters. That means it has to be ready without being in the way the rest of the time.

I’ve tried a ton of pocket organizers over the years—leather, Cordura, you name it. They usually fall into two camps: not enough space or way too bulky. So when I heard Maxpedition was coming out with a true pocket-sized EDC organizer, I was immediately interested. It made perfect sense. Maxpedition already has a long-standing reputation for making rugged, thoughtfully designed gear, so why not a slim organizer made for pants or jacket pockets?

I picked up both versions of the new Platy Pocket Organizer—the small (4" x 6") and the large (5" x 7")—to see if they might finally offer the right balance of size and utility.
