Bottle Holder

This bag fits my lifesaver 6000 water bottle/filter perfectly, I keep extra carbon filters in the front, 2 extra sponges in the bottom and a light on the zipper, my only complaint is that with the bottle inside, the front pouch becomes very small. There is space inside the main pocket for some plastic water collection bags and I am currently looking for a metal cup that the lifesaver will fit inside of so it can go down inside of the maxpedition bag. The fabric is a very tight weave synthetic that is water repellent and very durable, the zippers have a very positive pull that some may think is a little too tight but I think is a sign of good quality. On the subject of the zippers, I do not know if they are meant to be water tight but I do no that they are very water resistant with a tight tooth and an extra large 'flap' over the zipper, they repel and resist water and leakage extremely well. As a result of the water resistant construction and tight zippers, I have felt comfortable using the water bottle case as a water collection device. I leave a single sponge in the bottom of the bottle holder, empty the case of it's contents and zip all of the pockets shut, then I tie a piece of paracord onto the two d rings to make a long loop (30 or so feet of paracord makes a 15 foot loop.) I cast it into a river, stream or pond where I let it slowly "sink" as water seeps in through the drainage grommet on the bottom of the main compartment, this seeping "prefilters" the water through the lifesaver sponge, after the bottle holder has sunk I just pull it right to shore, through the sand, weeds and mud, and access the water inside which I drain either into a collection bag or into the lifesaver for filtration. The small size of the drain grommet and water resistant construction allows me to do this several times and fill all of my water bottles without the bottle holder getting water logged and the high internal volume means that I can fill 6 whilrpak 1ltr bags and the lifesaver in just 4 or 5 "casts" of the maxpedition water bottle holder. Final word, this is a great product that keeps another great product safe and adds to it's functionality!

This pouch is great! It’s very durable. It fits the Klean Kanteen 40 & 64 oz bottle with a few inches of head room. I haven’t checked if I can fit the MSR fuel can in there too, but I’ll update my review once I do. The Grayl Geopress fits as well, with plenty of side room, but the lid reaches the top of the bag, so you can’t fit anything above or below the bottle. I wish the external pouch was a little larger. I think Maxpedition could’ve made it slightly larger without it seeming awkward. Then again, there’s plenty of molle to add pouches on the sides. I just didn’t want to buy more pouches, and don’t know if I want to add the extra bulk either.

Saw someone use this for their JetBoil portable cooking system and said I need one too. It is a little pricey for a case, but it does just what I need it to, keep my $100 camping cooker safe. Maxpedition is a good brand and you get what you pay for. This is not made of a cheap material that will rip. I'm thinking a grinder or circ saw should cut thru; but besides that, anything you can do to it short of being tied to the bumper of your car and pulling around town for the day, it should last a very long time. The whole JetBoil system fits, with an extra fuel tank (besides the one in the JB mug), and an extra 3inch tall mug I had in there too. The outside zippered pouch is good for holding any extra forks or utensils you might bring also. Has a straps and also some velcro all over to help stick to places you might want to hold it. It's a little expensive for a case but I feel if it is what you are looking for, spend the money and you will be happy with the purchase.

Nice bag, very durable

I've been on the fence for the past year and a half about buying this. I always get to the point where I am ready to hit the purchase button, but then something always kept me from doing it. I think it's the price. I won't lie, the price is high. But, this is Maxpedition Ladies and Gentleman. This will always be a step up from the other brands. I finally somehow got past the price and completed my order. As it was in shipping, I had some serious buyers remorse. And, I even thought to myself that I would just return it. It arrived, and I played with it for like 5 minutes and then I was completely sold and wished I would have bought it a long time ago. The quality of materials is the best you will ever find. Throw a shoulder strap on it and this thing is a lot more comfortable to wear then a big backpack on a short day trail. It surprisingly holds a lot more than you would think. Fits my Klean Kanteen 40oz wide mouth and a space saver cup like it was more for it with a little room at the top for some extra gear. My only other gripe will not be an issue much longer is there is a huge break in time on these zippers. But we all know that it'll happen. If you're like me and debating about getting this, just do it... You will be happy.

Maxpedition 12x5 Bottle Bag – Versatile, Bombproof, and Built for Real-World EDC After more than three years of consistent use, the Maxpedition 12x5 Bottle Bag remains one of the most reliable and versatile pieces of gear in my EDC system. Originally purchased to carry my ½-gallon stainless RTIC jug, it quickly proved capable of much more—functioning as both a dedicated hydration module and, for over a year, a standalone work/tool carrier in the field. During that time, I fully utilized the 360° MOLLE webbing to attach various Maxpedition pouches, turning it into a compact, self-contained mobile workstation. Whether I needed quick access to tools, small parts, or on-the-go essentials, this setup handled the load with zero structural complaints. The reinforced attachment points are a particularly nice touch, adding to its long-term durability and load-bearing confidence. The bag’s padded construction not only protects the bottle but also helps insulate water—a subtle yet noticeable benefit during long, hot workdays. Even with the RTIC jug inside, there’s just enough room up top to fit a sandwich, a few snacks, or any 5" round by 3" tall item when zipped. That added capacity gives the bag surprising flexibility as a standalone grab-and-go kit. While it doesn’t include a shoulder strap, I added one from a Harbor Freight tool bag. It works fine, but for those using the bottle bag outside of a larger pack, a purpose-built strap would be a welcome upgrade in future versions. Now integrated into my daily carry inside the ALPAKA Elements Backpack Pro—alongside my Maxpedition DEP and EDC pouches—the 12x5 continues to prove its worth. It's not just a bottle bag; it's a modular, rugged piece of kit that fits perfectly into a disciplined EDC system. If you value real-world functionality, durability, and the freedom to adapt your carry to your needs, this one earns its keep.

Great product My jetboil fits in and I can add the small gas bottle inside. Also there is a space for some coffee and a spoon in the side pocket

This is a large cannister, and it adequately holds my Sigma 35mm 1.4 HSM and Canon 50mm 1.8II while simultaneously sheathed inside a Lowpro case for each lens, respectively. As such, it makes an excellent protective lens transport case. Combined w/ a Colossus versi-pack, it's a little big so that when filled it will sag a bit, but it makes a very effective and protective transport system for a full-frame DSLR and a couple of lenses. I also have the 10" bottle holder as well, and I prefer it to the larger one for balancing and aesthetics, but on a long-term trip through adverse conditions (jungle-trekking) the 12" allows me to consolidate more to one partition and offer the capability to use a case-within-a-case for added protection of gear. The 10" version will only hold the sigma lens and hood alone, naked. Zipper is hard to work with, but in shady urban areas and crowds in the third world, that's probably a good thing ;) The construction is typical Maxpedition, which is synonymous for tough and durable. Pouch is well-padded and once tac-tied down, it's not going anywhere.

Another great product of high quality from Maxpedition. My only gripe is the stupidly long strap that is stitched into the bag...it should have had another buckle at the top of the bag where one could secure it if being used as a handle.

Muy buena calidad. No trae correa para usarla como bandolera o bolso, la venden aparte.

Excelente produto Ótima qualidade Estou muito muito satisfeito

Super !

Awesome product. Huge. Takes up the whole side of my 5.11 rush12. Love it. Using tac ties to hold on. Also great product although finicky to attach. Won’t come off tho. No stretch in this product as material is way too thick and durable. Holds my simple life 40oz bottle with lots of room. Holds my msr pocket rocket and fuel canisters perfectly as well. Could be used to hold several things. Great product. Will definitely buy maxped products without question again.
