This bum bag, or rather bag, is truly an excellent product. High quality workmanship and materials – premium class. Interestingly, it's a Finnish company, but the product proudly displays: “made in Poland.” The bag is very spacious and can be configured in many ways, for example as an extra pocket attached to another backpack – for me, it works perfectly with the Wisport Zipperfox 25. The first impression is fantastic, we'll see how it holds up over time, but for now I recommend it. I'm definitely considering buying more products from this company.

I like this pack so much I have actually purchased another. I have one attached to my kahakka 25L and another one around my waist. It really expands your carrying capacity substantially. I recommend getting their organiser loops for smaller items but in mine I have bulky items such as a 500ml water filter, Helikon-Tex Supertarp Small and in the other I have a 1L water bottle and they fit easily. There is a bit of foam also so you never feel anything digging into you if you decide to wear this on your hips and if not there are plenty of attachment points for attaching it to other gear like I've done.

The bag is great – it has plenty of space and is excellently made (from what I've read in other reviews, Cordura should be very durable). It's comfortable to carry (wide strap, 'wings' at the connection, and a soft element on the back side). Additionally, the MOLLE system and well-placed holders inside make it easy to customise to your own needs (I use it as a first aid kit). The appearance of the bag is also a plus: classic, without unnecessary extravagance, and the colour looks just as good as in the photos. It's perfectly suitable for everyday use. At first, the price seemed high to me, but considering all the advantages, I think it was a good purchasing decision. An extra plus for the fact that I once mentioned in a survey on Militaria that this brand was missing, and a few months later it appeared in the range ;)
