A very nice and spacious waist bag that also looks good. The zippers work smoothly and don't get stuck. The material is of good quality, and the whole thing is made solidly with attention to detail. It seems durable; I hope it serves me well for a long time.

I've been using this pouch for about seven years. Before, I had three from other brands and decided to try something new. The big advantage is its capacity. The hidden pocket against the body is very convenient and holds a lot of small items. The main compartment is well designed—the organizer helps keep things in order, and the removable, Velcro-closed tool pocket is exceptionally practical. Finally, my multitool and pocket knife have their own place. The zipped mesh pocket in the main compartment is also useful, though it's a bit tight. The front pocket is perfect for the most important items. I also rate the quality of the zippers highly—they are very solid and stand out. One downside (although for some this might be a plus) is that it opens wide—so when I take out, for example, tissues, and my heavy phone is next to them, it can fall out. Fortunately, it's well protected. I really like the option to easily attach my own belt—then I don't need several different belts and can have everything together on one. I work with dogs, so the Molly system lets me easily attach a treat pouch without any hassle. Plus for the Velcro strap at the front—I can personalize the pouch without piercing the material. And finally—the super color, perfect!
