Great size of the waist bag from Helikon for people who don’t need to carry a lot of EDC items — that’s a plus, because packing less means everything is lighter, which will appeal to minimalists. It’s good that the strap can be hidden inside and that there’s a discreet pocket where you can hide your wallet.

Very good bum bag, made from durable materials. The practical arrangement of pockets and compartments makes it easy to organise small items, and the material is resistant to daily use. The zip works smoothly, and the adjustable strap allows for comfortable fitting to the body.

Handy waist bag made of durable materials, with a functional arrangement of pockets and compartments on one side and a practical zip, making it perfect for everyday use. The strap is easy to adjust and the whole construction is solid. The only thing that might be missing is additional mounting options, which may inconvenience some users. Nevertheless, the product serves its function well, so I can recommend it.
-
This is already my second Helikon Bandicoot waist bag; this time I chose the black colour. It is very spacious, durable, and does not attract attention. Inside, there is a Velcro organiser which can be swapped, for example, for a holster. I fully recommend this product.
-
The thoughtful pocket layout really helps to keep things organised, and the buckle seems durable and closes securely. The whole design is functional, without any unnecessary extras.
-
Very good quality bum bag, and its capacity and functionality indicate a well-thought-out design – you can fit many items inside and keep them well organised. The zips work smoothly and the carrying strap is durable and fastens securely.
-
I give 5 stars because the bum bag is really great. The high quality workmanship and very durable material are impressive. I really like the presence of practical pockets, which make it easy to organise everything. The only thing I can criticise is the strap, which has come undone a couple of times on one side, but other than that, it is a product worth recommending.
-
I bought it as an alternative to the Bandicot. It's a bit more compact, and sometimes that's exactly what's needed. The price is more favourable than the model mentioned. It fits everyday essentials with no problem.
-
The waist bag is of excellent quality. Although small, it actually holds a lot. The workmanship is of a high standard. Perfect for everyday use, but also for outings or competitions. This is the second time I have bought it.
-
The bag is a practical size when you don’t have much to carry, so you don’t need to take a backpack that wouldn’t be filled and would hang loose. The pockets are useful and well-designed, especially the discreet pocket on the body side.
-
The waist bag is made of high-quality materials, well organised inside with enough space for everyday items or outings. The colour is very nice, and the attachments hold securely. The stitching is solid; I also have a larger version of this waist bag which has served me well for a long time, although this one is a bit smaller and does not have a Velcro panel for an organiser—which in this size I don't think is necessary. On the inside of the outer side there is a zipped pocket, just like in the larger model, and it works smoothly. I recommend the purchase – the waist bag will last for years. It also has a belt loop with an additional zipped compartment, which can be used as a wallet. It's worth taking advantage of promotions—you can buy two for almost the price of one and have different colours to swap between!
-
Great and roomy waist bag, the practical organiser works perfectly for everyday use. I would definitely buy it again. The material is very durable. I sincerely recommend it.
-
Super comfortable waist bag. Because the straps are placed more centrally, nothing wobbles. You can also easily attach it to the hip belt of a backpack or a belt. There are also a few MOLLE loops on the outside. The buckle is a bit harder to open, which I prefer as it makes theft more difficult. Nothing rubs inside on the strap, which was the case with the Tasmanian Tiger Hip Bag, for example. I like TT, but in my opinion this waist bag is better in almost every aspect.
-
This bum bag has been very cleverly designed – it has lots of pockets, compartments and practical solutions. You can really fit a lot of things in it, and yet it isn’t too large, so it doesn’t get in the way while wearing it. As usual with Helikon, the quality of workmanship is at a high level, and the current promotion is truly fantastic! This model is worth having with you for basic gear when going out into the field, in case you lose your backpack.
