The bum bag is great. It was practically made especially for my needs. The quality of workmanship and the price are, in my opinion, perfectly matched. I am curious about its long-term durability, but for now I have no cause for concern.
A medium-sized waist bag that combines extensive customisation options with a discreet design. The user can choose which side to fasten the waist bag on, detach and stow the carrying strap, or configure the interior layout to suit their needs.
Four compartments can hold personal items, basic medical supplies, and even a light jacket. Side tabs allow for attaching PALS/MOLLE-compatible pouches or other accessories.
The main pocket features an organiser attached with Velcro. The inner pocket is mesh. There is also an additional hidden pocket on the inside, e.g., for documents.
On the outside, there is a Velcro panel that allows you to attach any patches or emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches, so you can give your waist bag a personal touch.
The Helikon-Tex Bandicoot is compatible with the Versatile Insert System, which allows for the use of various types of organisers.

Very practical and stylish – it works well both for a walk in the forest and for more formal outings or church. The universal black colour and sturdy Velcro allow you to attach various accessories. Inside there are plenty of pockets, and the whole thing is made from durable Cordura. I definitely recommend it!
-
Great pouch, made of durable Cordura, with compartments inside for various small items. The black colour goes with everything. The velcro is sturdy, you can attach whatever you want to it. Highly recommended.

I bought another waist bag from Helikon and unfortunately I was disappointed again – the colour is great, but I expected more durability. In the previous model, the plastic buckle broke quickly, and here the cords keep coming undone on their own, which is very annoying. What I dislike most, however, is that the part with the 'hook' slips out easily during vigorous movement, for example at the shooting range. In my opinion, this solution is not the best, so overall I rate it a weak 4.

Helikon as always is reliable – it meets expectations, so far everything is flawless. The backpack is very spacious and offers many arrangement possibilities. I am satisfied with the purchase. The number of positive reviews speaks for itself.
-
Admire its versatility. Used as waist bag, chest bag and as pouch on belt. Works excelent, and provides good amount of organised space. Chest-bag use is quite comfortable.
-
I really liked the bag; it's absolutely ideal for a woman and just right for my height and weight. It fits all the essentials: a tourniquet, documents, and money.
-
I've been using this bum bag for two years and I can confidently recommend it – it works well in various everyday situations. Despite its compact size, it can fit a lot of things, which makes it really spacious.
-
Very good quality, the bag is elegant and spacious. Although it looks unassuming, it fits much more than I expected. I easily managed to fit a folder, pepper spray, keys, wallet, tissues, a mini first aid kit, and there was still plenty of space left inside.
-
I feel disappointed with the inside of the waist bag – the compartments are too narrow, and the elastic bands could be wider. The hip belt seems definitely too thin. The advantage is the durability of the waist bag.
-
It's hard to add anything new to the many positive reviews of this Helikon pouch. In its price range, it stands out for its sturdiness and practical use. This is already the next pouch of this kind in my collection.
-
Great, compact, looks good, holds a lot and is solidly made, allows for convenient organisation of items, the strap can be completely detached, the zips work smoothly and the buckles are sturdy. I highly recommend it.
-
An excellent waist bag for EDC and trips – everything is easily accessible, and its capacity is truly impressive for this type of product. In other waist bags, a phone and keys already fill up the interior, but here you can fit a phone, lighter, small medicines, house and car keys, notepad, wallet, pen, cream, bottle filter, knife, multitool – and there’s still room for small items. The only downside for me is that the main compartment is just one large space – I’d prefer it to be divided into two smaller ones, which would make organisation easier. However, that's a minor detail, so I rate it 9.5/10. On the plus side, the fastening is solid – the strap doesn’t move and can easily be detached or hidden if needed. Brilliant!

The waist bag is very well made, high-quality materials were used, and the zips are durable. It has a large capacity, and inside there is a mesh pocket for small items and elastic bands that help organise your gear. This product is definitely higher quality than the standard waist bags available in sports shops.

I bought the waist bag for my girlfriend and she is really pleased. The product is sturdy, well designed and carefully made. I appreciate the Velcro panel on the front and the option to detach the belt. I definitely recommend it.
