I bought this at a tactical shop intending to use it for skiing, but it restricted my movement, so I've been storing it. It's used by wrapping harnesses around the waist and thighs. The thigh harnesses are removable, so it can also be used as a simple waist bag. It's well-made and sturdy. I think it would be better suited for its original purpose, such as airsoft or motorcycling. It even has magazine pockets. The ring at the base of the drawstring cord is detached, but I've forgotten how it was originally. Please consider this item with the understanding that it is used.
