Given its small size, it is very spacious. The quality of workmanship and the materials used are of the highest standard – genuine Cordura and sturdy Woojin components have been used. I really liked the rear slot that lets you hide the strap and carry it by hand, and if necessary, you can easily pull out the strap to wear it around your waist, without having to detach it or take up space inside. This is already my second one – the RAL 7013 model serves as my EDC, and I bought the Shadow Grey version for my Osmo Pocket 3 gear (it works perfectly). My only comment is that the Shadow Grey colour looks different in real life than in the photos – it’s more of a dark graphite with a hint of green and blue. Nevertheless, I’m not changing my rating, as I actually prefer this colour even more than in the photos. However, someone expecting exactly the same shade as in the pictures might be surprised.

Very good waist bag, the advantages are: organiser, loop for a cord, internal mesh pocket, strap of the right width which can be threaded through a belt loop. I recommend waiting for a promotion and buying it for under 100 PLN.
-
The waist bag does its job well – it is spacious and functional. The material seems durable and the pockets are convenient to use. I wear it every day and so far I am satisfied.
-
It looks great. It gives the impression of being good quality, time will tell how long it lasts (I hope for a long time). The number of compartments is perfect for me. The size is ideal for me, and the zippers work without any problems.
-
Great waist bag. I managed to fit everything I needed: wallet, phone, knife, gas spray, flashlight, tactical cards, power bank, headphones, and a few other things. Very solidly made, with a well-thought-out design. It's really comfortable and handy.
-
A practical, handy bum bag is perfect for everyday use. It is quite large, so I can easily fit everything I always want to have at hand. Made of sturdy material, it does not get damaged, the zips work smoothly, and the price is very affordable. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
This is my second pouch already. I bought another, very similar one, because the previous one, after a few years of use at work, started to break and wear out. The new one mainly differs from the previous one in that it has a strap fastening on the other side and a different label. Apart from that, it is very spacious, practical, and comfortable.
-
A very stylish bum bag – made with attention to detail and the perfect size. It will certainly come in handy for short trips to the city or cycling excursions. What I appreciate most is the practical arrangement of the pockets inside. I definitely recommend it!
-
I finally got this kidney pouch – it will be useful for my EDC kit, for now to switch with my bag, and also as a pouch for my backpack. I have a bit of a larger waist, but fortunately the strap extends to a maximum of 122 cm under the belly. Typical Helikon quality – it's worth supporting a Polish brand.
-
I wonder what has changed over time at Helikon, because the zips on this waist bag work very poorly, offering minimal resistance when used. This is already the fourth waist bag of this brand I own, so I have a comparison.
-
The waist bag is very functional, carefully sewn and well designed. It has no problem holding all the necessary items, and at the same time it is comfortable to wear. The zippers open smoothly and the fabric seems exceptionally durable. It is perfect both for everyday use and for trips.
-
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.
