Review on Maxpedition Unisex XBP Expandable Bottle Pouch - XBPGRY: Ultimate Gear Companion for Hydration on-the-go! by David Plunkett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good product. Works well and corresponds to the description.

Short review: Good product. Works well and corresponds to the description. If you need a good MOLLE compatible bottle cage, this one will do. You will not be disappointed. Long test: The sachet is pretty easy to drink. Containers slide in and out easily. The bag is stiff enough to be held open well enough for one-handed operation. It has a nice fit when connected to MOLLE. The patented Maxpedition attachment system used in this pouch is easy to use and works well with MOLLE. The bag holds many containers of different sizes. I've attached photos showing it with a 20 ounce water bottle and another with a 38 ounce bottle. Bottle guillot design. An additional zippered pocket is a good size. This is a great pouch for aromas, water purification tablets, or even a cell phone. Another picture I uploaded shows him with a tactical flashlight about 6 inches long. I haven't had it long enough to appreciate its durability. However, I have purchased other maxpedition products in the past and they have been great for durability. The one bag I bought I used almost daily as an EDC bag/laptop bag/briefcase for about 10 years and although it's seeing its age it still works as intended. The bag looks solid and is made of good materials. It has YKK zippers and appears to have good stitching. I find this to be a great water bottle case that works well for most environments, be it an EDC in the city or a backpack in the mountains. If there is a downside, I think most Maxpedition products (including this one) are a bit overpriced. However, I have also found that when you purchase their products, you get well-made and functional product for your money. I'd rather pay a little more than go cheap and have the item break when you need it most. I can't say if this is the best MOLLE compatible bottle cage out there but I don't think you can go wrong with this item. I doubt you will ever be disappointed with its functionality or durability.
