A very functional, spacious bag. I mainly use it to carry the Hikmicro Habrok, plus a few small items, because it is one of the few available on the market with an internal size suitable for this device, while at the same time not costing as much as the Hikmicro case ;) A big plus is the side holder for a bottle / water. I’m taking off one star for the fact that the strap cannot be completely detached, only unclipped on one side; this would make it much more functional, and I have missed this option several times.

The EDC Side Bag 11 l is an absolute bullseye if you're looking for the perfect carrier for everyday gear. The Shadow Grey color looks very modern and civilian—it blends perfectly into the urban environment, not standing out as typical military equipment but maintaining full tactical functionality. The space organization in this bag is pure mastery. The main compartment easily fits a water bottle, jacket, or tablet, and the many smaller pockets allow you to perfectly sort a knife, flashlight, documents, and keys. A big plus is the hidden pocket with a velcro panel, ideal for concealed carry of a weapon or extra organizers. An excellent everyday bag—spacious, durable, and thoughtfully designed!

This is a functional bag with a large number of compartments. When buying it, what was especially important to me was that the strap and the back panel are padded, which significantly improves carrying comfort on hot days. An additional advantage was the substantial price reduction — about 44 euros. Here are the approximate dimensions of the compartments: Front pocket with organizer: 17 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Main compartment: 25 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. Rear compartment: 26 cm high, 16 cm wide at the bottom and 23 cm at the top. It only gains depth when stretched. Side pocket: 16 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. I am including these approximate dimensions because they are hard to find anywhere else. In practice, it turned out that one of the items I usually carry with me does not fit in this bag. Had I known this earlier, it is possible that I would not have decided to buy it. Even so, I do not regret the choice. I rate the workmanship very highly, and the whole bag gives a really solid impression. However, I do have a few reservations: The strap seems a little too long for shorter people. The bottle pocket can be neatly folded away when not in use, but unfolding it again is somewhat inconvenient and takes a little time. The cord placed at the bottom of the bag is, in my opinion, too short. Because of this, only items with a small diameter, such as an umbrella, can be attached there. It is no longer possible to fasten a jacket there unless the cord is replaced with a longer one.

Very good shoulder bag – it has the perfect size, not too big and not too small. Carrying it is very comfortable. You can fit in it all the things that you usually have to put in your trousers or jacket pockets.

The bag is very well thought out and comfortable. For my needs, it turned out to be a bit too small, but if it were available in a larger size, it would probably accompany me for a long time. Anyway, for typical EDC or a quick trip to the forest, it's a cool thing.

The EDC equipment is fine, comfortable both as a main bag and as an additional shoulder bag together with another backpack. It fits everything you need for the whole day, including a 1.5L water bottle and attached outer clothing. It works well for working on mobile devices – an 8" tablet easily fits into the main pocket. The CC system for a handgun works well (tested with CZ P10C).

Super bag picked up on sale and in multicam black. For me, it's an alternative to a backpack and waist bag in winter. Materials and workmanship as always at a high level. Optimal capacity and number of pockets. For a bike, I recommend attaching the hip belt.

Very nice color, as always with Helikon, very good quality, spacious, perfect as EDC or, for example, for a trip to the shooting range. I've been using it for over a year and there are zero signs of wear, etc.

Great and comfortable bag, the pockets are enough for all necessary small items. Surprisingly roomy, suitable for a light forest trip. Quality is typical for Helikon, everything is solid and well-made. Easy strap adjustment. A product worth attention.

Very nice bag! Very thoughtful design, it has a pocket for every necessary item, and it is easy to find what should be where. Surprisingly roomy. Quality-wise, it's typical Helikon, everything is solid and well-made.

The bag is fantastic. It’s not overly large. You can nicely organize your EDC. It’s really roomy and has lots of possibilities for expanding it. Huge plus for the velcro patch panel—you can customize it.

Expensive, but if there’s a promotion, you can go for it without hesitation. Great bag—not too big at first glance, but has lots of storage/expansion space and you can really pack a lot depending on your current needs, which is a huge plus for me. As always with Helikon, the workmanship is flawless :)

Super bag, as always with Helikon great quality of material and zippers. Good for all kinds of outings, you can really fit a lot in it. Personally, it worked best for a jacket or sweatshirt. A good alternative to a backpack.

Elegant bag, recommended and I was not disappointed. Spacious, well sewn, cool pocket system. And of course, it's really cool that there is a magic pocket, which easily fits something like a G45. I recommend it to everyone, I am very satisfied.
