Great size of the Helikon waist bag for people who don't need to carry a lot of EDC items — that's a plus, because packing less makes the whole thing lighter, which will appeal to minimalism enthusiasts. It's good that the strap can be hidden inside and that there's a discreet pocket where you can hide a wallet.

Very good waist bag, made from durable materials. The practical arrangement of pockets and compartments makes it easy to organize small items, and the material is resistant to everyday use. The zipper works smoothly, and the adjustable strap allows for comfortable fit to the body.

A handy waist bag made of durable materials, with a functional layout of pockets and compartments on one side and a practical zipper, making it great for everyday use. The strap is easy to adjust, and the whole thing is sturdy. The only thing that might be missing is additional mounting options, which could be inconvenient for some users. Despite this, the product fulfills its function well, so I can recommend it.

This is already my second Helikon Bandicoot kidney pouch, this time I chose the black color. It is very spacious, sturdy, and doesn't attract attention. Inside, there's a Velcro organizer that can be replaced, for example, with a holster. I fully recommend this product.
-
The well-thought-out pocket layout really helps keep things organized, and the buckle seems sturdy and closes securely. The whole thing is functional, without unnecessary extras.
-
Very good quality waist bag, and its capacity and functionality show a thoughtful design – you can fit many items in it, which are easy to organize. The zippers work smoothly, and the shoulder strap is durable and fastens securely.
-
I give it 5 stars because the kidney bag is really great. The high quality workmanship and very durable material make an impression. I really like the presence of practical pockets, which make it easy to organize everything. The only thing I can complain about is the strap, which came undone a few times on one side, but other than that, it's a product worth recommending.
-
I bought it as an alternative to the Bandicot. It's a bit more compact, and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Price-wise, it's more favorable than the aforementioned model. It easily holds daily essentials.
-
The waist bag is of excellent quality. Although small, it actually holds a lot. The workmanship is top-notch. Perfect for everyday use, but also for outings or competitions. This is already the second time I've bought it.
-
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.
