Very good waist bag, the advantages are: organizer, loop for a lanyard, internal mesh pocket, strap with the right width which can be threaded through a belt loop. I recommend waiting for a promotion and buying it for less than 100 PLN.

The waist bag performs its role well – it is spacious and functional. The material seems durable, and the pockets are convenient to use. I wear it every day and so far I am satisfied.
-
Great waist bag. I was able to fit everything I needed: wallet, phone, knife, pepper spray, flashlight, tactical cards, powerbank, headphones, and a few other things. Very solidly made, with a well-thought-out design. It is really comfortable and handy.
-
A practical and handy waist bag works perfectly for everyday use. It's quite large, so I can easily fit everything I want to always have at hand. Made of durable material, it doesn't get damaged, the zippers work smoothly, and the price is very affordable. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
This is already my second pouch. I bought another, very similar one, because the previous one after several years of use at work started to break and wore out. The new one differs mainly in that it has a strap fastener on the other side and a different label. Other than that, it's very spacious, practical, and convenient.
-
A beautifully presented waist bag – crafted with attention to detail and the perfect size. It will definitely be useful during short trips to the city or bike rides. I especially appreciate the practical arrangement of pockets inside. I definitely recommend it!
-
I finally got this kidney bag – it will be useful for my EDC set, for now to switch with my bag, and also as a pouch for my backpack. I have a little more in the waist, but luckily the strap covers up to 122 cm under the belly. Typical Helikon quality – it's worth supporting a Polish brand.
-
I wonder what has changed over time at Helikon, because the zippers on this waist bag work very poorly and offer minimal resistance when used. This is already the fourth waist bag from this brand that I own, so I have a comparison.
-
The waist bag is very functional, carefully sewn, and well designed. It easily fits all the essentials and is comfortable to wear. The zippers open smoothly, and the fabric seems exceptionally durable. It works perfectly both for everyday use and during trips.
-
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.
