Thank you for showing me this. I've been carrying a pair of VE3 organizers for half a year, but the VE16 looks like a substantial upgrade compared to the VE3. Same dimensions, but many more pockets. I will probably end up buying two.
Glad you like it! Looking forward to the followup video where you've got it stuffed, After a bit of fiddling I managed to stuff my flashlight into one of the pockets, and I haven't decided what to do with the extra space yet, so I'll take some inspiration from you. I've also ordered a "Sayram" edc pouch from Amazon, which is about the same size, has external access, and has the clamshell design on top of that. The "Gentlestache" edc pouch also seems to be near identical... I expect they're from the same factory but use slightly different materials. I doubt the build quality will hold up against the Viperade, but I miss my Maxpedition Mini internal storage access. Inevitably I'll probably end up back at the Viperade, but experimentation is fun and I'm sure I'll find something to do with the other pouches.
I do love the Maxpedition and the the internal storage but the functionality doesn't suit my needs. It will definitely get used. Maybe a tech pouch? I cant seem to find the Sayram pouches that you mention. Would you mind sharing a link?
All my comments with the link seem to get filtered, so I'm afraid I can't. It's the top google result for "Sayram EDC pouch", with a preview of the red version.
Hey man just wanna say thank you for doing a comparison between the Alpaka and the Viperade. I have the same issue with the VE1 zip location and changed to Alpaka Zip Pouch Pro. After awhile, the pouch become too small for my needs. Then I discovered about the Zip Clutch during black friday deal, but reluctant to purchase it due to its size. Looks like we have a winner here, VE16 is the best combo of both worlds.
@@SurvivingtheDaily I actually bought a few things from watching your channel! I love the way you approach things, it's very very useful for Onebag Reddit setups.
If anyone likes the features of this but wants something smaller, I carry the V18s. Identical but just a little smaller for your pocket. Pocket organizers are so personal to each person and the gear they carry, but I will recommend the V18s from my experience.
Hi Surviving. Thanks for the mention. The xpac version is available on Amazon in hi viz yellow and black. Looks like you found what you're looking for. Keep up the good content.

Still carrying this one to this day. You won't be disappointed!
I'll have to admit I've never heard of this company but now I'm intrigued thanks sir
I'm happy I peaked your interest. Thank you for watching!!

That's awesome! I'm happy my video helped. I'm still rocking the ve16 and love it. Let me know how it works out for you.
Ooh. Just bought this just now. Thanks for the suggestion!
Awesome. I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you for watching!!

@@Dracomies I'll apologize now for your addiction. 🤣
@@Dracomies thank you for your kind words.
@@SurvivingtheDaily Oh dear god it's already started. :D

Please do! I'll be interested in hearing your opinion.

Oh dang. It didn't show up when I searched for it. I'll have to make a note in the video description. Either way, I have the one I wanted. Woohoo!
ohhh wow nice ive been looking at viperade imma have to get one to test out sooner
When I first received the VE1, I was like, what the heck do I do with this now. Now I'm a huge fan. Give it a shot!
Hey! I just discovered this channel and pouches as well (this brand) and purchased, thanks!
Thank you for subscribing!! I'm 100% positive you are going to love the Viperade brand. I own, I think, 5 different pouches. They are pretty awesome.
@@SurvivingtheDaily great! I hope to see a full review of the VE16 soon.
Very helpful video!
No matter how many pouches I try, I always go back to this one.
Mine always seem to wear out. The material wears from friction.
500D or X-Pac?
@@SurvivingtheDaily I wore holes through a VE1-P and just today noticed significant wear on my VE10. All from normal pocket wear.
How well would this version fit into a front jean pocket with a reasonable (not overloaded) gear set?
I think it fits just fine but there is a bit of a bulge. Depending on how tight your pants are.
I want to know what that coffee cup says.🤣
I take great pride in the coffee cup that my kids got me for father's Day. It says, "World's best farter....I mean father." 🤣 I'll take it either way.
@@SurvivingtheDaily lmao. I knew it! Lol. That's great.😂
When your kids end up having your sense of humor, how can you not be proud?
@@SurvivingtheDaily parenting done right.🤣
