This is already my second kidney bag – the first one was the black Pentagon Tactical Fanny, but it turned out to be a bit too small. The one from Helsinki in coyote color is more spacious and I really like the strap, because it doesn't move even after adjusting. The downside, however, is that closing the zipper with one hand, if it's fully open, is difficult – on the Pentagon model it was easier.

Ideal as an EDC, it looks smaller in the photo than it actually is. Also typical Helikon-Tex quality. I think the bag will accompany me for many years and serve me well. The zipper also works perfectly, which is not the case with all waist bags. Clear purchase recommendation from me.

A really practical and very versatile fanny pack. Storage everywhere, pockets where you need them, even an organizer with an elastic band. The fabric is thin, but for the price, it's ripstop. Only the belt is just tight enough, but it works; it will be difficult for people with large waist sizes. There is an open pocket on both sides at the back of the bag that allows you to store thin items so they don't show, or to store the belt if you're not using it.

A really practical and very versatile banana bag. Storage everywhere, pockets where you need them, even an organizer with an elastic band. The fabric is thin, but for the price it is ripstop. Only the belt is a tight fit, but it works; it will be complicated for larger waist sizes. There is an open pocket on both sides at the back of the bag that allows you to store thin items without them being visible, or to stow the belt if you're not using it.

The waist bag has a large capacity, is comfortable to use, and its interior is practically designed. It easily fits all the necessary items, and the adjustable strap allows for comfortable carrying on the hips or over the shoulder. The coyote color works well in many situations.

The waist bag has been designed with great attention to detail – the number of pockets and compartments inside is truly impressive, and the overall functionality is excellent. In my previous waist bag, the hip belt stretched out quickly, but I think such a problem won't occur with this model.

I am not satisfied with the purchase – after a week of use, the zipper on the waist bag broke. The original strap is very short and won't fasten even around a thigh, and after buying a longer one you can't adjust it because it's too long. The workmanship is very poor, I do not recommend the product.

Very well-made waist bag, it is spacious and has a practical organizer. I bought it with the intention of using it during vacation so that I wouldn't have to carry a backpack every day. I definitely recommend it!

I bought the Helikon-Tex Possum in RAL 7013 and I am super satisfied with it. My glasses case, wallet, smartphone, and keychain all fit inside, and there's still room for more everyday items. Even when fully packed, it looks compact and good on me (I'm 1.65 meters tall and slim) when worn across the chest. I can recommend this bag to anyone, especially in this neutral yet beautiful color. Best regards, Felix

The bum bag is great. For my needs, it was practically made especially for me. The quality of workmanship and the price are, in my opinion, perfectly matched. I'm curious about its durability in the long run, but for now I have no reason for concerns.

Very practical and stylish – it works both for a walk in the forest and for more formal outings or going to church. The universal black color and sturdy Velcro allow you to attach various accessories. There are plenty of pockets inside, and the whole thing is made from durable Cordura. I definitely recommend it!
