What a bargain for an awesome product
by Bianca Esteban on 12/12/11
I havent taken it off yet (well, except for showers and sleep). It's comfy, sleek and good quality, nice leather and the packaging and presentation were very snazzy. There was even a hidden pocket I didn't know about :) My only feedback is to make the flap a little longer so you can fit more in the pouch and still close it. I will definitely be shopping here a lot :D

All over excellent
by Anna Barnes on 7/11/11
As someone with a bad back, this utility belt has significantly helped me. By taking the weight off my shoulders it has been excellent. It fits everything I need, my large purse glasses iPhone and keys. What more could you want from a bag.

made my trip a pleasure
by Jennifer on 28/10/11
I bought this bag for a trip to New York. I always end up in pain from carying a shoulder bag on long non stop days when traveling then I get headaches from the weight and drag of the trational bag, which really inpacts my fun quotient. This bag has officially changed my life. I had a fabulous pain free trip( I mean NO Pain) and I am now sold on these. I won't ever use anything else! The zipper compartments were great for organizing and easy to get into - I was worried about that before I got it but this was not the case. It held everthing I needed including my wallet, cell phone, note pads, 2 pairs of glasses, and small cosmetics bag.And the ziper compartments were perfect for maps, tickets, receipts, subway passes etc.... I also bought a double pouch that will be very useful too. O.k I saved the best part for last..... this belt bag is so fashionable and works as a statement - I mean it pulled my outfits together gals! I am a fashionista and wouldn't be caughtl dead with regular fanny pack - this is a winner! - I want it in seude now ...... colors!!!
Get it - you will love it.

Changed my life
by Kitoko on 8/10/11
I am the girl who always has a luggage size purse, however getting this belt has change my life for the better. I am carrying less and so much more organized. I don't have to struggle with finding things any longer everything has its proper place. Thanks so much Happy Cow, I truly am happy!

apt title, self explanitory
by Dearne Lang on 12/09/11
Very happy. One thing could have been improved, the belt length has a joint not far from the end which detracts from the design.

Mary Poppins rocks this belt too....
by Monzeeki on 9/09/11
I bought this bag quite a few months ago but was reserving it for the more whole day adventure festivals. (I already have a bunch of smaller ones I use on a daily basis) This did the job and more! Very tough & durable. I took to burning man as I would be out on whole day/night missions exploring and having to haul the essentials, sunscreen, goggles, camera etc, even my water bottle fitted! (however it would have been better to have an add on to hold the water bottle separate from the pouches) This is my new favourite!

One of my best purchases!
by Michelle Marshall on 6/09/11
I have been looking for something like this for a long time! It is exactly as I envisioned. It holds everything and leaves my hands and shoulders free. It is also so stylish!

I feel so cool.
by Claire on 12/08/11
When my mother-in-law saw me wearing my utility belt, she laughed and said, hey I had one of those in the 80's. I said, "Oh, no woman, you did not look this cool in the 80's and they called those fanny packs and no fanny pack was nearly as awesome as my hip belt." I LOVE my utility belt. The day before it came I lost my keys because I always set things down and forget to pick it up, hence why I don't carry a purse. Now I have everything on my person and two hands free to wrangle my baby boy, six dogs, cows, horses, chickens, goats, cowboys, robbers, and whatever else gets in the way. I don't know how to get through the day without it. Great color, great feel, great fit, great customer service.

started out great
by Lily on 9/08/11
This belt was exactly what I was looking for and I was very excited to find it.
It started out great. The pockets are the perfect size and they don't bunch out when you put stuff in them.
But after about three weeks the belt part stretched out too much and now the whole thing slides off me. I have to hold it with one hand so it doesn't end up around my knees by the time I make it to the end of the block.
Pretty much useless now and it cost me $100 USD.

Nothing Like It...
by Joan on 24/05/11
It has tons of room and the leather is great. I run around all day and to have something that looks great and is practical is priceless. Thanks Happy Cow!

The perfect hands free baby bag.
by Florisela on 21/05/11
I am a mum of two and this bag is a dream! One side carries diapers and wipes. The other my essentials. It will be my go to gift for new mums from now on. This is a must for a hands free lifestyle.

Best. Bag. Ever.
by Leslie on 23/03/11
I ordered the double pouch version in dark brown. It's beautiful: the leather seems to reflect the color it's worn with looking charcoal with black, but dark brown with other colors, which I love.
I wear this bag nearly every day and don't even notice it's on because it's so comfortable. I can fit everything I need without having to cram the pouches.
I know I will take this bag on my next trip, use it at my next work event, and continue to wear it often whether it's a work day or the weekend.
I love it so much, I may even order it in another color to add to my collection.
Thanks for making this fabulous bag.

Holds the things I need it to and more.
by Colette on 4/03/11
I ordered the double pouch version in black a few days ago and just received it today. It looks great, holds what I need it to and it means that I no longer have to find a smaller handbag for days when I don't have to carry school books/folders/other school stuff around with me. And I won't have to carry a bag on my shoulder all the time anymore, which is great! :)
Thank you Happy Cow! :)

Smooothest leather I've ever felt
by David on 1/03/11
I just got my dark brown, single pouch utility belt this morning and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how amazingly smooth the leather felt. After initially admiring the bag, I put it around my waist and have been wearing it since then.
The greatest aspect of this bag so far is that I only realize I'm wearing it when 1. I reach down to get retrieve an item from its cavernous pouch or 2. someone complements me on it.
Now I'd like to point out a couple of things I was worried about before purchasing the bag:
1) I was worried that while sitting down, the bag would bunch up against my hip and become uncomfortable. This isn't the case, and the bag actually falls outward to the side whenever I sit down.
2) The belt would be too small for what I wanted to put in it. This also proved to be wrong! right now I have my wallet, set of keys, Ray-Ban's case and Blackberry in the pouch with a bit of room to spare, yet the bag still doesn't feel bulky.
As no bag is perfect, there are a couple of cons about the bag. For one, the two zip pockets are very difficult to get into quickly. I wanted to use the outward facing one for my thin wallet, but I found it took me too long to get it out, so I've resorted to putting the wallet in the pouch. Another thing that I'll be looking out for are the grommets (metal belt holes) for adjusting the waist size. The grommet that goes into the belt buckle is pulled at an angle and may overtime wear out the leather around it and come loose.
All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase at Happy Cow and plan to buy from them again!

Great Value!
by James Madison on 14/08/10
I absolutely adore my Happy Cow Utility Belt. I have the double pouch model in black. It's just big enough to keep my hands free, yet also deliciously stylish. I wear it on set as a Production Coordinator in the entertainment industry, and it never fails to attract attention. I also wear it while patrolling Black Rock City while wearing my khaki hat, and it's great for that job, too.

Love my belts!!
by Elizabeth (Cardiff, United Kingdom) on 11/06/10
Really love my belts! Nicest ones I have seen. I intend on ordering some more in due course. Thank you Happy Cow!!

Very useful and well-made, but it could use some more features
by Rachel on 30/05/10
I ordered: Dark brown leather double-pouch, size M/L
This was my first Happy Cow purchase. I was looking for something that could keep my hands free while walking my dogs, without looking like the dreaded Disney tourist fanny pack. I'm really glad that I found Happy Cow! And I really like the added bonus of the reused materials.
I chose this product because it looked like it could hold more than any of the other models. I wanted to be able to carry water bottles in the pouches. I ordered the double-pouch version, since I figured I would need balance for the heavy items I'd be carrying.
I am a female, and I wear a pant size 8. I ordered the M/L because that was the only way to get the double pouch, plus I wasn't sure that the small would be big enough. I wear it on the tightest setting, and it sits very low on my hips. Occasionally, I have to adjust it slightly to keep it from falling off. I'm sure that the small would have fit much better.
Improvements that could be made: Offer double-pouch version in smaller sizes. Provide loop for tucking excess belt material. Find some way to loop through the belt loops in my shorts. Offer a model that has a dedicated water bottle pouch (maybe 1 on each side).
This looks great with a skirt. Aesthetically, I'd love to see it in dark brown suede, if the suede would be as durable.
I was initially hoping for a lower price, but it seems fair for the quality, material, and work involved.
Happy Cow, I'd love to see you make your marketing materials a little more edgy and a little less hippie. And market to dog walkers too!

Very comfy, practical
by Dalya (London, UK) on 30/08/09
Exeellent in terms of pockets, quality of zips. Comfortable. Nice leather. Though, only thing that needs improving is the lining- after a couple of months, it started cracking

Love it! Saves my shoulder
by Jules on 3/07/09
I have problems with carrying a bag on my shoulder. This solves the problem. The zippered pockets and front pockets allow me to organize and keep things where I can find them. I wear it on my side like a gunslinger would wear his holster. Looks cool instead of dorky like the old style fanny packs. Thanks!
