Sunday Prototype – 04/07/13 – Old School and New School
We have a very special edition of the Skinth Sunday Prototype this week. Unlike any other week where we look at a new colour or a model, we are taking a trip down memory and pull a retrospective on one of our favourites, the Skinth Command Post.
The Skinth Command Post was a response to a Skinth user that wanted to carry a top coil notebook, a cell phone, a couple of writing instruments and sometimes a keychain tool.
What we have is the FIRST ever Skinth Command Post ever made next to it’s replacement.
Worn everyday for a year, travelled to 3 countries and seen more calls than that pizza place down the street, this Command Post was a little rough around the edges, but it did the job.
It’s replacement is a finely tuned belt pouch with some upgraded features. Laser cut 1000D CORDURA, integrated PentaPocket organization, magnetic snap and steel belt clip round out the new kid on the block.
This first gen CP had some different techniques applied to it and those lessons have allowed the Command Post to become a very function, low profile piece of kit.
The back slot remains to be the same, holding snug a 3×5 note pad. Sometimes pen to paper is still quicker.
This particular user had no need for the enlarged tubes, so the foot print is a bit smaller than the normal Command Post.
For quick access, an iPhone4 can be slipped into the notebook slot.
We are very happy to see the Command Post come so far, help so many people stay organized and above all, be part of someone’s EDC. In the end, having changed someone’s workflow for the better is always the most satisfying part of our job.
