Rabbit's POV Just nother waistpack… And I am using it most often/, kinda because I must check in how it will do as an EDC gear, but also because it's purely cool. Quality. It's in its own class. Clawgear really stepped up to the mark and made Kacper Drozd's project just wonderful. What really caught me is attention to the details. I don't mean how it is made in particular, but all those little things and features that lack of them wouldn't be a problem. Anyway, their presence fulfills the design. All these laser engraved logos, names, cool Velcro shape, zipper pulls and the rest of them. This makes the Tacticoat EDC- standing out from the crowd. Quality, as I mentioned, is top notch. I have a MultiCam ver- sion (where, the heck, is Woodland???) and the solid color Velcro stands out a bit, the pattern-matched one would be much better. Almost a year of every day use pased and the waistpack shows no signs of wear apart from small fraying of panel that is used for hooks. But I must say it clearly, only single threads, not all the way fraying. And that's all, nothing more. What I carry inside is shown in the photo – documents, mul- titool, 3 mini sharpies, business cards holder, sometimes also house or car keys. In front slot I have my favorite pen, some patches on the Velcro loops and iPhone 6 in Magpul case in the front pocket. I carry my waistpack on the strap Once I hooked it to KD One belt, but it didn't work for me. OK, it stays in place, doesn't move and these are the pros. The main con is… it stays in place and doesn't move. When it comes to getting something from the waistpack you can see how stretched you are. I didn't attach it to the gear as I don't see that kind of stuff on plate carrier, etc.. I often carry it as an organizer pouch in the bottom compartment of Tasmanian Tiger Pack 30 Vent backpack, so if I am in the of- fice and I need to go somewhere quick, I just grab the waistpack. I don't use the shockcord at all. I've checked it once an that's all. Same goes with side elastic loops as I clearly don't see my- self carrying anything iN them. Maybe small chemlights? I don't know, I don't use such stuff. What would I change apart from the color of the Velcro? Main zipper. I would sewn it upside down. It would not change it prop- erties but maybe It would look more neat and nicer. I don't see reason of water-resistant zipper in non-water-resistant front pocket too, but it isn't really disturbing. Basically, an awesome gear. EQUIPMENT
