A bag specifically designed for extended field excursions, offering comfortable transport for essential gear. Combines key attributes of both a backpack and shoulder bag, featuring integrated straps and a 50 mm wide hip belt secured with a buckle. The Foxtrot Mk2 ensures stability when carrying heavy loads and provides quick, easy access to your equipment. Its large carry handle enhances convenience when transporting the bag by hand.
Suitable for solo use or in conjunction with functional straps, the bag features a fully adjustable design across all settings. Perfectly adapted for trekking with trekking poles.
Open compartments for canteens are attached to the main section, while partially sewn belts with the MOLLE/PALS system on the sides allow for additional gear attachment. ALICE pouches or other accessories that utilize 50 mm wide straps can also be secured in these locations.
Two zippered pockets are located within the main compartment, complemented by a front pocket with a Velcro closure. Additional inserts compatible with the Versatile Insert System can be mounted inside the main section. The external pocket closes with Velcro and is equipped with an internal organizer for better arrangement.
An adjustable elastic cord at the bag’s top serves to secure a rolled jacket or sweatshirt, while adjustable straps at the base of the bag not only fulfill this function but also compress the entire Foxtrot for a more compact load.
The H-type harness system equipped with four tape lash tabs offers straightforward adjustment at the rear via Velcro tape, delivering even weight distribution and effective stabilization of carried gear.
A length of Velcro tape is sewn onto the front of the bag, providing a platform for affixing various emblems, such as national flags, unit badges, or Morale Patches, allowing for personalized bag customization.

Bought out of curiosity and I'm pleasantly surprised. Sturdy, comfortable, and with lots of different adjustments and ways to personalize it for comfortable walking. It's great as an extra bag for hiking. Good for a field trip for a few hours with decent weather—takes everything you need. Easy and comfortable to walk and move with, and you can attach additional gear. I carried a 1L thermos, some equipment in the main pocket, a 30000mAh power bank, a poncho, and other gear. I recommend it for short outings.

An excellent product but... Well, here's the thing. It looks great, the hip belt can be tightened more to relieve the suspenders. It's spacious despite its appearance. But there's one thing I don't understand. Why did the manufacturer use fabric on the back? Maybe it's somewhat resistant to damage, but it doesn't replace mesh for many reasons. Mesh is almost indestructible, lasting for years. Secondly, with mesh you don't sweat as much as with this fabric. It would've been enough to cover the fabric with mesh. Probably cost is the reason. Unfortunately, sometimes the manufacturer makes an almost perfect product until they ruin it with one thing. It's not a trifle. In my humble opinion, the waist pack could have lasted longer. Regards, and despite what I've written above, I still recommend this product. Hope it serves you well!

A very well-thought-out design and solid workmanship. Comfortable and roomy hip bag. I fit a poncho, hat, filter, gloves, some dry food, water, and small items in it. It offers many attachment options. It's perfectly sufficient for a one-day hike. The straps without padding allow you to comfortably wear an additional 20–25 l backpack. In this case, the weight of the backpack resting on the bag is partially transferred to the belt. If you use a Nalgene or Helikon bottle (even a 1-liter bottle will fit in the side pockets), it doesn't stick out above the bag and does not interfere with backpack configuration. In the backpack, you can put larger supplies and camping gear such as a sleeping bag, pad, or tarp, creating a modular set for a multi-day trip.

A great set that encourages you to be selective about the gear you take and doesn't obstruct your back. You can look at the Foxtrot as a ready-made MOLLE belt set with suspenders, where in the back section you have a permanently attached 5.5l compartment, an organizer, and two bottle pockets. Besides these "permanent" elements, there are three MOLLE columns on each side for you to customize. Here, you can choose according to your needs—a dump pouch, a pocket for an additional ~2l of gear, tools, a first aid kit, etc.

Very high-quality workmanship. Comfortable to carry and use. Minus one star for: the external pocket narrows at the bottom, which limits its usefulness, and for the Velcro closure. No external pocket for handy small items. No MOLLE system on the main flap, which prevents secure attachment of, for example, a first aid kit also to the back of the bag, which would allow hanging an additional pouch. In my opinion, the side MOLLE straps could have been longer.

It must be admitted that this is an interesting solution and a nice alternative to a backpack for carrying items over long distances, because it keeps your back from getting as tired.

Great bag for day trips. It fits everything you need and there's still space for gadgets. Even stuffed to the brim, it keeps its shape and is comfortable. I recommend that at first you load it up and adjust the straps. One important note - the manufacturer did not include a system for compressing loose straps and there are a lot of them, so I recommend using cable velcro or two 'cobra' paracord wraps to keep the straps from getting everywhere.

Works really well for short trips. Especially in the summer. Dry back, which wasn't possible with a backpack. You can attach additional pouches.

A nice product, but very specific—you need to consider what your expectations are and whether it's suitable. The biggest advantage is that it doesn't cover your back, which is a blessing in hot weather. Also, the weight is mainly supported on the hips (with proper strap adjustment), which is a big plus for people with back problems. Capacity is small, so you have to be smart about what you take. You can attach side pockets, but if you put anything bigger than a first aid kit, it looks rather awkward. Also, with heavier loads (around 6 kg), the suspenders become very uncomfortable and dig into the body. And the side pockets for a canteen/bottle—you absolutely have to stretch them out, because at first you have to hammer the bottle in. Even after stretching, taking out the canteen while walking is nearly impossible, and putting it back in is out of the question. Lashing works well—a fleece fits on top, a jacket underneath. Build quality is flawless. To sum up—for hot weather, and going light instead of a backpack, as long as you don't exceed the load recommended for the capacity, it's ok. If you want to turn it into an ALICE-style set and hang bigger pockets—it's worth replacing the suspenders for better ones, luckily you can.

Fantastic bag! My discovery of the year :) For a 5l capacity, it's spacious, with large side pockets and MOLLE on the belt, perfect for a knife and a small first aid kit. Top-notch workmanship. Comfortable suspenders. I loaded it to the brim with gear I always take with me, and it just sits ready in the closet. On top of that, I add a 20l backpack, into which I put gear specific to a given trip. The whole setup complements itself perfectly.

Good for a one-day trek. It can hold a rain jacket, a bar, and a light fleece. However, you have to take it off to put in or take out the bottle. Solid workmanship.

Comfortable bag for a one-day trek. The main bag could be a bit bigger, but it fits a rain jacket, a fleece, and a snack bar. You can add some pouches to increase capacity. Bottles stay secure. However, it's a bit hard to put the bottle back in—the bottle pockets could be a bit more offset to make access easier.

Great bag. You can carry a lot of items without weighing down your back. I highly recommend it to everyone because it's definitely worth buying one.

Very nice bag. Personally, I use it as extra capacity for an already owned small backpack. Very well made and thoughtfully designed. Thanks to the many attachment points, it can be nicely customized.
