This iteration of the Viperade VE series pouches moves the pouch zipper to the side, adding a pretty decent amount of extra usable space to the storage. This is the big selling factor and why I bought it, and it delivers on that promise! This is absolutely an upgrade to the VE series, which was already a prime contender for best in the EDC pocket pouch market.Unfortunately, this is only available with the three-pocket configuration on the front instead of the two-pocket from the VE3 pouch, which means I can barely fit my flashlight into the front, and it takes some effort to get it out. I expect we'll receive a two pocket variation soon, but it's still annoying for now. I might cut out some of the stitching.The addition of the back pocket and coin pouch are appreciated, but note that if you're using this as a pocket pouch, anything in the back pocket will be lumpy and stick into your leg. Reserve it for something thin like a prybar. For this reason, I hope future iterations remove the coin pouch in favor of making the back pocket extend across the whole back, fitting wide flat things like thin notebooks or minimalist wallets, which won't impact the lumpiness. I also don't think the back should be velcro, and for the same reason - anything you attach there will be lumpy on your leg and make your day uncomfortable.Overall this is a great pouch with minor caveats, and I would recommend it to anyone trying to sort out their pocket clutter or carry more useful things around.
