Unsung Skinth hero

[admin]

Today in the mail I received something from Eric at Skinth solutions that really has not gotten any publicity I have seen, much like a red headed stepchild of the Skinth.

The p3 pocket panel (specifically the p3mt)

This little thing caught my eye awhile back when I was looking for a pocket organizer of sorts. For me I would use my Skinth (soon to be ordered magnum) at work but sometime I like to go light for other occasions. I really don’t like carrying anything loose in the pockets because I end up having a little of everything in every pocket or a Keychain the size of a racquetball. I have searched the Internet for such a product but only vague reports and no real links.

I have a thing about organization and this makes me want to dance. When I’m out and about I like to have my four staples with me..

Tool/knife
Light
Pen
Paper

When I ordered this I was expecting something bigger, but as I hold this its the perfect size. It will fit in any pocket including the front and hold more than it looks like it can. It has 3 pouches

What I have in there is a charge alx, nitecore ex10,and a space pen in the last. Going thru my drawer my surge, and even my MUT will fit in there comfortably. The nitecore was a tight fit but doable.. I’d like to see a little bit bigger pouch there for when I tried a sak in there my tinker fit but when you got to a 3 layer sak its tough.. My altimeter would not fit (I think because one scale is noticeably larger due to the digital thermometer but I think a standard 3 layer would do fine. In the final slot i have a Fisher space pen and it has plenty of room for another or a AAA light.. As you see in the next pic a streamlight microstream fits nicely along with my zt350 in the main pouch.

Finally.. After seeing this setup and wanting it.. I asked for one little extra and Eric was gracious enough to grant me a little custom request. After picturing my gear in this panel I realized that if I have my pen, what am I going to write on? So on the backside was attached a pocket to hold my moleskine. I have in the pic below an extra small but it was made to fit the volant 3.5 * 5.5 and does so nicely.

All in all I can’t wait to play with this more and see what I can throw in it.. Nanostriker? Mini fak? Maybe some flat pack duct tape? So I say if you don’t want something riding on your belt all the time or a mammoth of a Keychain where everything gets mashed together or several pockets of stuff so you don’t scratch anything up, this is for you. I’ll keep you all up to date how I progress with my new addition.
