Unsable pockets and poor use of space

Regular size. Intended for travel with men's toiletries. While boasting numerous pockets, zip compartments, and pockets within compartments, these spaces compete for internal space and cannot be used simultaneously. The three mesh pockets on one side of the pouch are too small, or at least very tight, for most male toiletry products. The internal height is frustratingly "just" too short to allow 80% of my “travel-sized” cans, bottles, and tubes to stand up. Lying items flat makes them harder to access and the bag harder to close due to space restrictions imposed by the middle divider. I found the toothbrush pocket on the middle divider to be more of a gimmick than an innovation. The mini pockets and compartments are limited to holding nothing larger than blister packs and lip balm, and their overabundance makes it difficult to remember where things are because you can’t group multiple items by their purpose.
Please increase internal height by 15 mm, replace the mesh compartments with simple elastic loops, make the pockets large and practical rather than numerous and useless, remove the middle divider in favour of a side pocket with its own internal space, and provide a basic loop for my toothbrush. Consider products that practical men would use for travel, and design a wash pouch suitable for them.
I just bought the Peak Design Wash Pouch in Coyote color. So far I really love it. I'm using it for my daily toiletries when I go to the gym and the build quality is pretty sturdy. Functionally it has tons of space and feels robust and spacious.
By far the best wash pouch on the market, I have been using it for multiple years now and nothing to complain about. The built quality is very good, the size is perfect for me, the inside layout is very functional and the toothbrush pocket is wonderful.
I got this for my son as a gift and he loves it. It’s durable and has the right number of compartments to hold his stuff without so many that it’s stressful. Buy one for the travelers in your life!
I have both the small and large wash pouch. The large is the same size as the tech pouch.
While I take the small on backpacking trips, this is taken on weekend trips and work trips where I want a little more. I leave it setup and packed so it is easy to grab and go. It does get bulky if space or weight is a concern - but the benefit of unzipping it and hanging it up and immediately having everything you need is worth it on most trips.
I have had the PeakDesign Wash Pouch for some years, and it is certainly the best that I have had and, importantly, most functional.
Unfortunately, the external zippered pocket intended for a razor quickly got a hole from the razor blade. There is now reinforcement in the pocket to accommodate a razor. This hole has progressively got worse. I have now purchased a silicon pouch for the razor, so I am going to replace the wash pouch.
