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.

Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

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.
-
This is the best waist bag I have ever owned – extremely comfortable and perfectly fitted. I can easily fit everything I need in it: phone, wallet, cigarettes, pen, tissues, disposable gloves, and there is still plenty of free space left.
-
Great bag. Just what I needed for trips, holidays, or summer outings. It fits all the necessary things without unnecessary excess space or being overly large. Classic style.
-
Great bum bag, very roomy – you can easily fit your documents, phone, and car keys inside. High-quality material, you can tell it will last longer than just for a while. Highly recommended! Additionally, the logo on the front looks very good.
-
My friend has a similar waist bag and I was a bit jealous of his. So I took advantage of the opportunity as there was an extra promotion. Usually, my waist bags wear out quickly, mainly because of broken zippers. I chose Helikon because I already have a lot of their stuff and I've never regretted the price – their products are really worth it.
-
Great bum bag, also known as a waist bag. Made from high-quality materials, it looks really nice. The promotional price is really attractive. I recommend it, because the product is excellent!
-
A great-looking, handy waist bag or pouch, precisely made – you can immediately see and feel the high quality. It has practical pockets and organisers. The promotional price is really attractive, and the RAL colour works very well. I definitely recommend it.
-
The bum bag has been excellently designed and made, you can clearly see the high quality of the product. It is possible to detach the insert with the molle straps and attach an insert for a pistol, so the pouch can be used to carry it. The promotional price is satisfactory.
-
This is already my second Helikon waist bag, this time in camouflage. It's much better than the previous denim one, although it's a bit too big for me. I also have the pentagon model, which is slightly too small. Something in between would be just right. Despite that, I highly recommend this product.
-
The workmanship of the waist bag is top notch. When folded, it is compact, and when unfolded, very spacious. In the smaller front pocket, an NRC foil and several pairs of gloves fit easily. In the main compartment, besides a glasses case, there is still plenty of room left. I recommend it!
