Saturday Storage means we take a look at trending gear that makes packing and organizing your EDC that much easier. For a lot of EDCers, that means a specialized pouch. Compact, organized, and easy to carry, purpose-built pouches solve all of your carry needs. Vanquest takes the EDC pouch further with their FTIM Gen 2 Maximizer. With a unique pull-down opening system to make it as fast as possible to get to your gear, it's an ultra-rugged and extra-organized way to manage your everyday kit. Unlike most half- or clamshell-opening pouches, the FTIM's main compartment is more akin to a dopp kit, with a U-shaped zipper to lay out its contents wide open. This YKK#8 zipper is lockable and comes with Spartan zipper pulls, a combination designed to make opening as fast and as smooth as possible. One external pocket, two internal ones, and a detachable 2-position key fob space round out the pouch's organization. Stop stuffing your pockets with loose essentials and get organized with a robust EDC pouch like the Vanquest FTIM instead, available in three colors at the link below.
