For the [V1] that tradeoff simply doesn't exist.

It's more water resistant and comfortable than cargo pockets, more accessible than a backpack, more effortless than a shoulder bag, and better looking than all of them combined.

So why hasn't anyone made this before?

Because it's an engineering nightmare. Here are all the qualities I had to somehow fuse together to make this thing happen:

• comfortable while sitting down, proning, standing, etc.
• secure on your body so the contents don't smack against your leg while running
• easy to open and close with only one hand
• big enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, etc. but not so big that it's uncomfortable

There are other leg pouches on the market obviously, but not a single one manages to fulfill all these conditions at once. (and for good reason.) Figuring out the exact design and sewing pattern took me an amount of trial and error that almost no company would be willing to do.

Not only is it the best of the best in terms of functionality and aesthetics, but also in terms of manufacturing. This might be the most difficult bag to make, anywhere on earth. The only factories that would even consider trying to make this thing are  Tilak-Acronym  in Czechia, and Bagjack in Berlin. That's it. And honestly I doubt even they could pull it off.

If you don't know already, I make all these bags by myself here in Finland.

reasons not to buy

1. highly impractical when wearing baggy pants
2. serious discomfort when carrying more than 1kg
3. not suitable for military use (military version in development)
4. very noticeable in public
