Shoulder holster

The shoulder pouch is the perfect size for my 500ml water bottle. Good front mesh pouch keeps my spare battery’s handy. To fastening is fine on my Dirty 30 shoulder straps, but the bottom fastening would be better on the bottom of the pocket. This would stop it bouncing when running in the woods. I changed the top cinch cord for elastic so I can hook it over the top of the bottle. Well made and will last me years.

Lightweight and Easy

Fits my iPhone 14 and some snacks and my sunglasses. :) A bit bigger than expected though. I feel like I should have chosen the size down.

a great shoulder strap pouch

A great shoulder strap pouch. It holds a lot of stuff! I use it for sun glasses, sunscreen, lip balm, etc.

A great improvement would be to add a drain hole to the non-mesh compartment!

Great pouches!!

I got this pouch and the cell phone pouch and both are so roomy I can fit snacks, keys, phone, chapstick and sunglasses in these! Super handy to have everything right there on your shoulder strap.

This utility pouch is perfect and it's roomy! I can fit everything I need for easy access. Everything I have put into this pouch was secured even while navigating under and over blowdowns!

Perfect!

Holds my phone and snacks on the trail! A must if you are solo hiking, so you do not have to drop your pack

Great little bag!

I was needing an accessory bag to hold my phone. My pockets are either too small or inaccessible due to my waist belt. This little since sack was perfect addition to my shoulder strap! It kept my phone and a snack. I liked the sinch bag for my phone because I could control the opening which I left open. I had plenty of room for Samsung s23 with the larger screen. Easy to drop in and take out.

Roomy!

It was bigger than I expected, but that's ok. I attached it to my pack shoulder strap with 2 Z clips, at the top and bottom.

Nice, roomy pouch

A nice, roomy pouch to kerp things close at hand. The main part holds my cell phone comfortably. When the phone is stashed elsewhere it holds sunglasses or other items. The mesh pocket easily holds trail snacks or my sunglasses. My only issue is the lower velcro strap. After a couple of days I noticed my wind shell was wearing on the hook. For now I have removed the lower strap and have no issues. Very good craftsmanship.

Flaming awesome

Here. We. Go. Love the color. I the attachment set-up work for my situation. I bought it to hold my fleece cap and gloves after I warm up during my early morning road marches. This product does exactly what I wanted it too do. Would have been nice if there was a bigger model but I knew what I was getting. Good job folks. Thank you.
