Helikon-Tex Foxtrot Mk2 Belt Rig, Bushcraft Line

This fanny pack work great, plenty of room and seems very well built. I use this for full days out on the prairie, carries more than enough gear for a day trip. The belt is wide and solid enough. Not mushy webbing but still flexible. The only con I feel is the elastic in the water bottle pouches. It is difficult to get your water bottle back in place with out a lot of hassle due to the elastic top and the stretch cord getting in the way. you either have to spin the belt to the front so you can use both hands or get help from another hiker.I do not use the suspenders, but if I loaded much heavier, I will try them. As you can see by my photos, I carry a good load out of Binoculars, multi tool and GPS, On the other side, a iphone case with room for a CCW and a sheath with my Victorinox trekker.

There isn't too much to be said about it's features that isn't already shown on the official Helikon-Tex video about this. But the side pockets can stretch out surprisingly far and can accommodate a 64oz Kleen Kanteen bottle though you might have some trouble securing it for rough terrain. For me, I carry two Nalgene Oasis bottles instead (and GI-style canteens have no problems being secured by the cinch-ties).The combination of lumbar pack and minimalist H-harness is great for my needs. I am unable to wear standard lumbar packs without aid of a harness due to lower back issues but hate the majority of overly bulky H-harnesses on the market. If needed, you can buy additional shoulder pads if you look hard enough. Overall, I use this both for carrying some essentials and my lunch (in an urban environment) and for day hikes. Depending on your needs the Foxtrot can be a very light solution instead of carrying a bulky pack.Criticisms: Feel as if the zippers on the main pack don't go far back enough, limiting the size of items you can cram into it.It would have been nice if there more spots for MOLLE attachment points instead of just on the sides of the waist strap.The cinch-tie system for the side stretch pockets are fine for smaller water bottles but aren't that great for large ones.

Riding down low on your hips keeping your back open is great for reducing heat-up and sweat. The harness is a life save for me as I have negative butt and everything falls off. My set-up... Left side molly attached pouch with first aid, wallet and keys, right side molly attached Allien Gear Holster with my Smith and Wesson .45. 1 ltr in each bottle pouch, strapped on top is my jacket, strapped below in an UST Tube tarp emergency shelter. Inside the main compartment you'll have room for a pot stove and fuel with a couple dehydrated meals and some snacks. Every time I go out (even if it for just a couple miles) I'm' prepared to spend the night should anything go wrong. This rig make a perfect option to do just that.

Check out 2 great product reviews on YouTube from Dave Canterbury and Corporals Corner. I got this to replace my Condor H harness and it's perfect. I also got the E&E pouch to go with it. Together they are the BEST H harness money can buy, hands down.

There's reason this is so hard to find!!! This is awesome build and well designed!

I use this as a possibles pack while hunting/Truck EDC. Lots of room for its size and the shoulder harness distributes the weight very well.

Love it
