Review on Hebetag Canvas Drop Leg Bag Outdoor Waist Pack For Men Women Tactical Military Motorcycle Bike Cycling Multi-Pocket Waist Fanny Pouch Travel Hiking Climbing Thigh Bag Pocket by Victor Pinckney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for warehouse work, home repair, and hiking

I originally got this because I got tired of stuffing everything into my work vest. The weight of the items made the vest a nuisance to wear while working, and the Velcro pockets on the vest had a tendency to open on their own and items would fall out. I wanted something that wouldn't hang or dangle or get snagged as I worked. Even though I believe this bag is mostly intended for bikers on the road, I found this extremely useful as a work storage item. I can hold my phone, keys, portable charger, a pen, a marker, and even a couple of snacks very easily. I was very pleased that the straps DO NOT slowly get pulled apart over time like so many similar items do. It will stay as tight or loose as you want. The upper strap/belt is a comparable size to a utility belt, and depending how many items you attach to your utility belt, this pouch easily allows you to attach those items just like you would a utility belst. The upper strap is perhaps just a smidge smaller than a utility belt and fits through most regular pant belt loops. I am very pleased of how sturdy this pouch is, because I honestly didn't expect it to put up with the regular wear and tear of my job. But this thing doesn't look a bit different than when I first bought it. It is fairly large, perhaps an inch bigger all around than a DVD or video game case and about three times as deep when fully utilized. The only thing I noticed in the way of wear and tear was a single thread that came off from somewhere, but I have been unable to find where it used to be. I think this was just a stray thread that got snagged on the inside of the pouch from my safety knife or perhaps my keys. In terms of functionality, this thing is outstanding. My only criticism is that the pouch itself tends to gradually migrate to groin in what I assume must be an attempt to alude to Adam and Eve in an unconventional manner. Perhaps I wear the upper strap too loosely. It shifts less if I loop it through the pant belt loops, but it still shifts over time. There may be a way to secure the placement of the pouch, but I think just about any pouch will have nomadic tendencies so long as it's attached to a body in motion. So, this is a very practical item for storage, the zippered pockets and the button flap stay closed without issue. I rarely even have to zipper up the pockets because that front flap stays down very well. The zippers don't gradually slide open, and I've never had anything fall out of it. Nothing. Not even when I get up and sit down multiple times, or jog with it, or run with it. Can easily hold most hand tools and is really useful when continually switching between a small number of tools repeatedly. Looks-wise, I have no idea if actual bikers would appreciate it but it has a kind of rustic, woodland wilderness toughness about it and is reminiscent of some military gear. Due to it's size, it's not easily concealed, so if you are looking for something to maybe just hold some keys, your phone, and your cognitive enhancing limitless pills, you may want to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • ok
Cons
  • The bag may not be waterproof or resistant, making it unsuitable for wet weather conditions
