I really like the bag, it is robustly made and has many practical details. I mainly use it for short day trips or longer walks, where a backpack would be too much for me. It's also very handy when I'm out with the dog, to store things like the lead, treats, poo bags, etc. All in all, a clear recommendation to buy!

The bag is very good, although a bit heavy. It easily fits all necessary items, including my favourite Helikon canteen which resembles the US Army one. I will definitely use it, although I'm not sure if I would attach it to my backpack. I plan to check that later, but as a small bag for water and small items, or for quick walks with the dog, it will definitely do the job.

This is another interesting project. I purchased it with the aim of carrying minimalist equipment for making boiling water: MSR Windburner, spork, coffee filter, containers for coffee and tea, etc. It would be perfect if the bag wasn't quite so heavy.

The bag surprises with its capacity – it's bigger than you might expect from the photos. It's well made, the zips move smoothly and the buckle is strong and durable. The numerous pockets and compartments make the bag very versatile. I currently use it as an extra pocket for my backpack, where I keep a gas stove, cooking accessories, and some spare items. I hope it will soon prove useful as a shoulder bag as well.

Great solution. I consider it a good alternative to classic canteen pouches with cups, which usually have small side pockets closed with Velcro. In this case, the pockets are much larger, have compartments, and allow you to better organise small items.

The bag is quite comfortable. Its size allows you to easily store binoculars and a few small items. Thanks to its compact dimensions, it fits the body well.

A functional pouch which I currently use as an extra pocket for my backpack thanks to the molle system. It is very spacious and allows me to organise small items well with the internal pockets. It also works great for short trips – it easily fits a one-litre bottle and a few smaller items.

Everything is fine, the quality is very high. Very spacious, yet has compact dimensions. The shoulder strap is great for carrying. Multifunctional. Works well for everyday use.

The bag works perfectly – you can attach it to your backpack as a side pocket or wear it on your shoulder. For me, it serves as my main EDC bag for trips to the forest: it holds a knife, torch with battery, water bottle and fire-starting accessories.

Outstanding product. I recommend it with a clear conscience. The material is very sturdy. It doesn't lose quality after washing. Money well spent. The bag is comfortable and roomy, and the pockets are very functional.

Excellent quality and careful workmanship. It is very spacious. I definitely recommend it. It easily fits the 1.15-litre Helikon Pathfinder, as well as a phone on the side.

The bag turned out to be extremely spacious. It fits a one-litre canteen with a cooking cup, cup stand, lid, additional cup, spirit stove and fuel, and cutlery. You can attach an extra pouch to the front, store a saw in the pass-through pocket at the back, and attach a large knife to the MOLLE system. I recommend it!

A very good alternative to the Helikon waist bag. It's spacious and durable, you just want to fill it completely with EDC items. The material even withstands minor accidents – you can't see any wear on it.

The bag is very well thought out – although it doesn't look big, it fits quite a lot of things. A Pathfinder bottle or canteen fits perfectly in it. I attach it to my backpack as a water and food kit or use it every day.
