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.

A practical hip bag with a capacity of 7 litres, developed to meet the needs of the military, particularly for sniper teams, while also being ideal for everyday use. Constructed with a focus on carrying convenience, efficient equipment organisation and easy integration with other tactical equipment.

Made of damage-resistant 500D Cordura fabric that effectively resists abrasion and other mechanical damage. The back panel with soft foam insert is responsible for a better distribution of weight and provides adequate ventilation, increasing comfort during long wear.

The model also has a drainage hole and a rear open pocket where the belt can be stowed or the belt from the backpack can be pulled through.
There is also an elastic cord on the bottom for quick attachment of a jacket or sleeping pad, for example.

Excellent piece of kit and very adaptable, and can be used in urban environments and then straight into field environments seamlessly. Bombproof kit as always by Savotta and supplied by an excellent company with very quick delivery. Thanks all at Military E.U.

The Savotta Askare is an exceptionally practical bag that performs far better than a standard bum bag. It offers plenty of space, is comfortable to use, and makes it easy to organise your belongings and attach additional accessories. Another major advantage is its solid build quality. Overall, it looks durable and carefully refined. It is definitely worth considering.

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 ;)
