The bag is a practical size when you don't have much to carry, which avoids having to take a backpack that wouldn't be full and would "flop around." The pockets are convenient and well designed, especially the discrete pocket against the body.

The waist bag is made of high-quality materials, well-organized inside with the right amount of space for everyday items or outings. The color is very nice, and the clips hold firmly. The stitching is solid. I also have the larger version of this waist bag, which I’ve used for a long time, and it works just as well, although this one is a bit smaller and doesn’t have a Velcro panel for an organizer—which I don’t think is necessary for this size. Inside, on the outer side, there’s a zippered pocket, just like in the bigger model, which works smoothly. I recommend buying it—the waist bag will last for years. It also has a slot for a belt with an extra zippered pocket that 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 colors to switch between!
-
Great and spacious waist bag, a practical organizer that works perfectly for everyday use. I would definitely buy it again. The material is very durable. I honestly recommend it.
-
Super comfortable waist bag. Because the straps are placed more towards the center, nothing wobbles. You can also easily attach it to your backpack's hip belt or a regular belt. There are also a few MOLLE loops on the outside. The buckle is a bit harder to open, which I actually prefer as it makes it more difficult for thieves. Nothing chafes on the inside of the belt either, 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 way.
-
This waist bag has been very cleverly designed – it has many pockets, compartments, and practical solutions. You can fit a lot of things in it, yet it’s not too big so it doesn’t get in the way while wearing it. The quality, as usual with Helikon, is top-notch, and the current promotion is truly amazing! It’s definitely worth having this model with you for basic gear when you’re out in the field, just in case you lose your backpack.
-
This is the best waist bag I have ever owned – extremely comfortable and fits perfectly. I can easily fit everything I need: phone, wallet, cigarettes, pen, tissues, disposable gloves, and there is still plenty of free space left.
-
Great bag. This is exactly what I needed for trips, vacations, or summer outings. All the necessary things will fit in it, without unnecessary extra space or excessive size. Classic style.
-
Great fanny pack, very spacious – you can easily fit your documents, phone, and car keys in it. High-quality material, you can tell it will last longer than just a short while. I highly recommend it! Additionally, the logo on the front looks very good.
-
My friend has a similar waist bag and I was a bit jealous of it. So I took advantage of the opportunity because there was an extra promotion. Normally, my waist bags wear out quickly, mainly because the zippers break. I chose Helikon because I already have a lot of stuff from them and I've never regretted the price – their products are really worth it.
-
Great waist bag, also known as a fanny pack. Made of high-quality materials, it looks really nice. The promotional price is really attractive. I recommend it because the product is excellent!
-
A fanny pack or pouch that looks great and is handy, precisely made – you can immediately see and feel the high quality. It has practical pockets and organizers. The promotional price is really attractive, and the RAL color works very well. I definitely recommend it.
-
The waist 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 molle straps and mount a pistol insert, which allows the pouch to be used for carrying 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 in turn is slightly too small. Something in between would be useful. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this product.
-
The workmanship of the waist bag is top-notch. When folded, it’s compact, and when unfolded, very spacious. In the smaller front pocket, you can easily fit an NRC foil and several pairs of gloves. In the main compartment, besides a glasses case, there is still a lot of free space. I recommend it!
