Overall: The bag is only useful if you're doing a lot of movement (like more intense dancing) and don't plan on trying to frequently take anything in or out of it. As a dancer, I'll be keeping it, otherwise I'd regret buying it. I'm hopeful for a new and better version.
Cons:
- Zipper opening is too small for anyone with medium or large and bigger hands
- Mesh separator is annoying because it's flimsiness often gets in the way. It should be a solid (but somewhat flexible) flat wall separator instead
- Click/clack opening with the top magnet is a cool idea, but anything that's too small risks falling out. Can't put anything important in here, or really anything at all.
- The top key pocket is literally useless, as most keys/key fobs are literally bigger than the pocket itself. It also doesn't close at all, so there's almost no point in using it at all. It's more for aesthetics than anything.
- I'm skeptical about the metal belt clip because it looks like rust waiting to happen, especially on the studs that hold it in place.
- The slack tip of the strap causes SO much chafing if you have the bag on snug literally at all, and forces you to wear it more loosely just so it doesn't mess up your leg or pants. This causes chafing regardless because now you have a half dangling strap anyway.
- The zipper struggles to open and close with one hand, which makes for an awkward positioning with two hands whenever you try to open or close the bag.
- The buckle's position on the strap should have the option of being adjusted
- Nobody responded to my submission via your website or Tiktok.
Pros:
- The bag and strap itself are made of very nice materials. The stitching is done very well, and it should (hopefully) stand the test of time.
- The belt clip holds on with a perfect amount of force.
- If you just need a bag to work for you when you move around a lot and don't plan on interacting with it very frequently, it works well.
I've had a few sling packs, fanny packs, and backpacks. Most of the time it just felt bulky to carry around. When traveling I keep a few essentials on me at all times and the pochi holster works perfectly for items I need to grab. Definitely worth the purchase and everything I need is already packed in the event I'm in a rush.
Flawed product but very cool doesnt really stay on mo matter if you tighten it up. Cant do a lot of activities without it having to be readjusted all the time.
Love these bags, but I'm sad the 2.0 is smaller and dosnt have the outside mesh pocket. I really think the size of the original bag was perfect. 2.0 seems a little too small. And also I lost the pocket that use to be perfect for holding my knife. Waterproof zippers are a nice addition and the crinkled shut mechanic on the outer pocket, while a little hard to get into at times is nice for security of things on that end. Color black is fire. I'm also sad about how the leather clip that attaches to the waste band of your pants/ belt loop is shorter. Overall some good, some bad. Still a sleek bag though. And the only company out here doing holster bags justice. Just hope they keep growing and maybe consider bringing back the old size
I have purchased 3 bags from this company now. One original holster pouch and 2 2.0s. Both my 1.0 and 2.0 had fundamental structural issues. On the 1.0, the way that the belt clip is fastened will eventually sag and rip through the fabric it’s fastened to. I worry about using my 1.0 in fear of it eventually fully ripping through and then I have a useless bag. I then ordered the 2.0 when it was first released, assuming that they had updated the bag to be better and more durable. While they did reinforce certain parts of the bag, some of the new features were obviously not stress tested. The waterproof zipper is glued to the edges of the bag, instead of being sewn in. This means that over time, as you are constantly pulling on the zipper, eventually it separates and there is no way to reattach the zipper. I had to hand sew through my bag in order to fix mine. The only reason you should buy one is if you really need everything this bag has to offer. A belt clip, two section storage, and a thigh strap. Unfortunately, there aren’t any other bags that fit that criteria on the market so unfortunately I had to buy a 3rd from them.
