The Master-Piece Potential V3 Waist Bag has one of the aptest product names in recent memory. Made in Japan predominantly from a jet black Cordura nylon, aesthetically it truly is a master-piece and once I get into the list of features, you’ll see how it has the potential to be the only waist bag you’ll need for the foreseeable future.

The whole front and back is water repellant with the back also being breathable thanks to its L-vent film laminated surface. Waterproof front and rear zip pockets with the main compartment also housing an inner sleeve. Waterproof (a theme, here) tanned leather accents made with Invista Codura Varistec nylon, an M-strap shoulder harness mechanism, and even the use of a temperature control material developed for NASA (Outlast) in the cushion parts that touch the body — this really is a bag and then some!

Made in Japan, and available now from Lost & Found priced at ~$231
