Helikon-TexFoxtrot Mk2 Belt Rig, Bushcraft Line

I had a cheap bum bag for summer trips up the hills but found it flopped about and once I had 2 litres of water in it, it was uncomfortable. The shoulder straps on this make a big difference. With a litre of water in each pocket, sit mat underneath, lunch and emergency kit inside and a fleece and trekking poles stuffed in the shock cord it was solid. I'd prefer longer shock cord on top and might add that myself.

waist pack and harness with pals, hydration compatible pals at top of the yoke

It is a useful bit of kit, added a first aid pouch and molle pouch. Ditched the straps that come with it and replaced with decent H harness

Great addition if you are looking to have some suitable equipment packed separately from your Daysack or small pack this aids that possibility.Enough space to carry suitable items for a possible emergency

It's too small for anything other than very short walks. It willnhold maybe some food and a couple.of bottles but not all your waterproofs etc too. The straps are very thin and any prolonged use or overloading of the pack would I suspect, make them dig into your shoulders.Buy the Helikon Foxtrot and an H harness . Bigger cheaper too and better MOLLE attachments.

Love this product cant wait to try it out

Comfortable, well-built, modular, and very practical

As a US Army “light” Infantry scout vet that served with the 101st ABN DIV during the late 80s to early 90s, I can’t tell you enough about how much us grunts loved our buttpack attached to our LBE, load bearing equipment. Depending on your mission needs, it more than came in handy and I used to load that bad boy up. Now comes this Helikon-Tex Foxtrot MK2, which reminds me of the good ole days (and some wet freezing bad ones too lol) while lugging around 100 pounds of gear. After reading dozens of reviews and watching several professional grade video reviews, I decided to click the order button. I’m not disappointed at all. This belt harness rig is pretty versatile and well made. Can it use improvements? Absolutely but, it’s near perfect for my needs and sometimes, so called “improvements” can actually ruin a good product so I’m happy with what I have. Without overkilling this review with T.M.I, I’ll go over the fine points. Quality - no loose threads found and material craftsmanship is pretty solid. Weight and balance - I loaded it up (see included pics) and adjusted the harness afterwards and it surprisingly feels very comfortable. Attached to the bottom of the main pack by straps is a poncho and 8x10 field tarp rolled up inside. Water bottle pouches can take up to a 32oz Nalgene style bottle but, it is a little tight fit. Just twist push it into the holder and I believe it should loosen up after a while. I did manage to get a metal cup with folding handles into the left one. It’s the size that allows a 32oz bottle to be inserted into the cup. That was a very tight fit but, based on other YouTube video reviews, they said it could be done so gave it a try. Again, counting on some minor material stretching so it won’t always be hard to insert…and hopefully, Helikon-Tex will pay attention and maybe add another inch of width to the opening? The side molle panel is on the smaller side but using some imagination I was able to attach a (left side) molle medical Velcro rip pouch, a small pouch with a Leatherman skeletool inside, (right side) a pouch with a Vortex Solo R/T monocular, and a Morakniv bush knife with sheath. I won’t go over all the other goodies I managed to cram into the main compartment but, see the picture. I did try wearing a backpack with this rig and my suggestion is to stick with something under 20 liters, unless you’re that big back guy that can load up like a mule lol. I’m 5’6” so space is limited and unless I dropped-lower the harness further, backpack sat on top of the Foxtrot so smaller pack was more comfortable and fitted better. Overall, love this rig and will be using it for day hikes and keeping it in my vehicle for SHTF emergency. I already keep a small backpack with emergency stuff in my vehicle so this MK2 is for additional essential gear that I can haul around if things go sideways…

El tamaño es el adecuado para salir a dar caminatas en la naturaleza muy funcional
