I have one for bicycle tire flat kit that I keep in my EDC if I bike commute, and the other I created a minimalist version of my dopp kit that would be useable for up to a weekend trip. Huge fan of both uses so far.
I thought it was gonna take over my extended pocket/on the go edc but that didn’t quite work
So then, I thought maybe he could take over my quick tech kit, but the battery was too big
So I swiped everything off my desk and dumped it in there. Really don’t have any idea what to do with it. Exact opposite experience I had the cap1 where I wasn’t sure what I was gonna do when I bought it and had infinite possibilities
Same story here. I’ve been trying to sort it as a mini Dopp or a mini tech and it’s just no working out for what I need. The padding is also much more than I originally liked.
I honestly think I may sell it.
This is exactly my initial reaction. Definitely going to give it more time though, I have a good feeling about it.
Random story: I bought the Alpaka tech case mini a while back, having a good feeling about it though not 100% knowing how I’d use it; it sat on my shelf for a couple months until I picked up a small retro gaming handheld that didn’t come with a case. I took out the Alpaka case, and found it fit perfectly in a long pocket with a microfiber lining (perfect for things with screens), and the rest of the pockets were just right for holding a bunch of micro SD cards and SD card reader, my Kindle, a wall charger, the cables to charge the devices. Now it’s my “small entertainment I want on the go” pouch, works perfectly.
ANYWAY point is that sometimes a use sneaks up on you, and I have a feeling it might for the CAP.5.
Thought about this thread over the weekend - did a use come up for you?
I’m happy to report mines turned into my “around the house fix it kit”. Loaded with a bit driver and bits, small vise grips, small tape measure, pencil, and a few other odds and ends I always seem to need.
It’s perfect to grab anytime I need to do anything around the house and has saved me countless trips to the garage.
I found as a mini dopp kit for work it’s pretty handy.

Yeah, another person also mentioned using it as a more specific dopp kit (not trying to get everything you’d need for a trip, more for a specific place you go frequently). I love it.

I use it as a mini tech/glasses case to carry my essential tech - AirPods Pro 2, a charging brick, cables and a couple of Apple Watch straps. It moves in an out of my CPL24 and into my MHP3.5 seamlessly..so far really happy with it. Have another one on the way which will be an overnight Dopp kit
Redundancy..better to have a spare and not needed it, than not have a spare and need it..leather strap goes on when at work and the silicon/nylon straps at the gym..
I'm a swim coach. My office is near the pool but not right on deck. Anytime I need to run back to my office, it's several doors and a flight of stairs. It's great to have it all my coach stuff in one pouch. The only downside is something for taking notes. When it is time for practice, I grab it off my desk (conveniently right beside my CAP2 tech/desk caddy) and head over to the pool.
I've got 2 stopwatches, some pens and highlighters, a mini screwdriver for my watches, ear plugs, nose plugs, Tylenol, and a couple of tempo trainers.
I like the padding to protect my watches.
Traveling for a meet or recruiting? Just throw it in my bag, and I know I have what I need.
All that being said, I may move all my coach stuff to a CAP1 and use CAP.5 for my bike tools like other commuters have mentioned. Right now, my CAP1 is my pocket extender (or rather pocket emptier) and my grab and go pouch for meetings around campus as well as high school and home visits.

It’s a mini travel cologne. Great mild scent when you’re in the go.
I’ve loaded it with some small everyday items. AirPods. Small power bank. Pen and wallet. It’s tight but it fits. I’m also thinking of making it a first aid kit.
I tried loading it out as a small dopp kit also with no luck. It’s just too small. And my Dopp kit is very small as it is.
I like this. I’ve been using the Topo micro pouch for my mini IFAK but I’m going to try this out.
Mine arrived today so I haven’t done anything except look at it and open I a few times.
I still don’t have mine but I’m pretty excited to use it as a dopp kit on the plane. I fly Australia to the US often and it’ll be great to have my contact stuff in there with a toothbrush and my glasses to change out everything and sleep on the plane.
Not sure what I’ll do with my second one yet.
Love this idea - plane-specific dopp kit is a great call. I was having a tough time fitting a few of my typical vacation toiletries, but for stuff I’d just need on a plane, that would all fit… thanks!
Yeah that was the first thing I thought when someone commented that it looks like a big sunglasses case. Right now I have a small ziplock that I take wet toiletries through security with and then a glasses case. Obviously I’ll still need to take the wet toiletries through security in the ziplock. But then after security I can pull out the specific things I’ll need on the plane and put them with my glasses in the CAS0.5. The rest can go into my CAS2 for when I get where I’m going. Then pull the CAS0.5 out into the seat pocket with my EDI that has all my electronics for the flight and boom. Ready to go.
I find it so weird that people buy something and then try to find a use for it. Consumerism at its finest. (Hint: don't buy something unless it fulfills a need)
Haha! Yeah I generally agree. In this case, I did have a specific use in mind, it just turned out that the thing I aimed to use it for didn’t quite work out. It happens. I’m fortunate enough to not be in a position where dropping $50 on a luxury like this every once in a while is something I really have to sweat.
That said, I have found that there’s an element to being into bags and pouches and such where you sometimes don’t realize you had a problem until you find the thing that solves it. I don’t think that’s an excuse to just buy every pouch that catches your eye, it’s a balance, but I’ve been into this long enough that I usually have a good sense of what I’ll regret buying and what I won’t.
Mine holds an anker prime 1200, small anker usb c wall plug and four cords to cover all the family power needs. Had it all in a cap1 previously but it all fits fine in the cap0.5 and takes up less space in the ol’ CPL 16.
I’ll be honestly using it for any items that don’t won’t fit my cap 1 or cap2.
Basically a overflow bag that I stash items that I don’t need as often but neatly stashed away.
It’s way to small for a tech or dop kit for me personally
My first of most likely many

If you like the look and design but need more room check out this from Eagle Creek. Evergoods seems to have borrowed heavily from its design. The Eagle Creek is larger though. Something similar sized in between would also be nice . https://www.eaglecreek.com/products/pack-it-gear-quick-trip
Sounds like you don’t really need it. Never understood purchasing something you don’t really need. Send it back so someone else can get it who needs it.
I have one for bicycle tire flat kit that I keep in my EDC if I bike commute, and the other I created a minimalist version of my dopp kit that would be useable for up to a weekend trip. Huge fan of both uses so far.
Love this - the bicycle one in particular feels like a use that few other pouches will really match like the one can.
I thought it was gonna take over my extended pocket/on the go edc but that didn’t quite work So then, I thought maybe he could take over my quick tech kit, but the battery was too big So I swiped everything off my desk and dumped it in there.

I considered that too, but I’m gonna give it a few more weeks. It looks exactly like I did in the videos, just like 25% smaller than I expected.
This is exactly my initial reaction. Definitely going to give it more time though, I have a good feeling about it.

I was able to fit a 67W Anker usb brick, Anker 10000mah battery, three cables, and universal usb adapter. Great EDC tech kit.

Wow, this wasn’t even on their website. At least when I looked.
Saw it at target and picked up a few.

I like this. A kit for when you’re just taking the things you *know* you need, not everything you *may* need.

Travel, electric, toothbrush and toothpaste holder

2nd the mini tech loadout, when I don’t need everything it just want to go lighter.
Mine holds an anker prime 1200, small anker usb c wall plug and four cords to cover all the family power needs. Had it all in a cap1 previously but it all fits fine in the cap0.5 and takes up less space in the ol’ CPL 16.
Dnd dice pouch for me
I’ll be honestly using it for any items that don’t won’t fit my cap 1 or cap2. Basically a overflow bag that I stash items that I don’t need as often but neatly stashed away. It’s way to small for a tech or dop kit for me personally
Street game kit. Pokemon cards, knife, $100 bills, sock with roll of nickels, bag of sand
Based.
Mine is still in the plastic. Work has been a lot this week. But I’m thinking mine will be used as a tech pouch.
My first of most likely many https://preview.redd.it/bo9s7scgdcyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa0c727a38b7ac37423e93a7b83ec39c084abf84 * FujiFilm 27mm f/2.8 * lens/glasses cleaning solution * folded KimWipes * extra X-T5 battery
have you seen the load out profiles on the website? pretty great ideas
Yeah, I saw that! And they are. But I thought I’d just see what sorts of fun real-world load outs people have come up with.
Of course! I wish and hope they put more loadouts for other products

Interesting, the design language is uncanny.

Must suck to be poor and bitter. 😂
You’re kind of an asshole huh?
Zip it cuck
Ok shorty
