I do not recommend it. The waist bag was used for a week and the zipper broke. The strap that comes with the waist bag is so short that you can't fasten it even on your thigh, and after buying a longer strap, there is no way to adjust it and it's too long. The quality of workmanship is terrible. 0/10, I do not recommend it.

Well-made pouch/waist bag, spacious, useful organizer. I bought it with the upcoming holidays in mind so I wouldn't have to carry a backpack every day. I highly recommend this purchase!
-
The backpack is not very big, but it is of very good quality. Solid material and careful workmanship. It works great both in the field and in the city. I recommend it.

I bought myself a Helikon-Tex Possum bag in the color RAL 7013 and I am very satisfied with my choice. I can easily fit my glasses, wallet, phone, and keys inside, and there is still some space left for other necessary items. With my height of 1.65 m and slim build, the bag worn on the chest looks neat and stylish, even when it is filled to the maximum. I definitely recommend it to everyone – especially in this subdued yet attractive color. Best regards, Felix

Cossack kidney bag. For my needs, it's practically tailor-made. I think the workmanship and price are very well matched. We'll see how durability holds up over time, but I'm rather confident.
-
Nice and elegant, suitable for any occasion, whether for the forest or church. The black color is universal, and the strong Velcro allows you to attach various Velcro-like items. There's a lot of compartments inside. Made of Cordura, strong material. I highly recommend it.
-
Great pouch, Cordura is a strong material, inside there are compartments for various items. Black color is universal. The Velcro is strong, you can attach anything you want to it. Highly recommend.

I will say this: another kidney bag from Helikon and I'm disappointed. I bought it because the color is great, but I expected greater durability—on the previous one the plastic buckle broke quickly. On this one, the cords untie easily, which is annoying. And the worst thing is, in my opinion, the part with the “hook”—when you stand up quickly, especially on the shooting range, it can get detached. Strange solution. Overall rating: a weak 4.
-
Helikon and everything is clear - it does the job - so far everything is fine. Very spacious. Many configuration options. I'm satisfied. The number of positive reviews also says it all.
-
I am impressed with its functionality. I have used it as a waist bag, chest bag, and belt cover. It works great and gives a lot of organized space. Carrying it on the chest is very comfortable.
-
I like the handbag, it is simply made for women, especially for me with my short height and weight – exactly what I needed. It easily fits all the essentials like a compression band, documents, or money.
-
I have had a kidney bag for 2 years and I can recommend it to everyone, it comes in handy in all sorts of situations. Despite its size, it really holds a lot, making it very capacious.
