Occidental Leather 9515 OxyLight Framer with Adjustable Fit

Jarred Hall: I’ve had different occidental bags for about 8 years now this is my third set and I bought it for our new 18 year old trainee. It fits me fine as it tried it on,
what I don’t like that it doesn’t have a chisel holder, (plastic container) or the strap that holds it in place.

The other thing I don’t like about it is that the extra hammer holder is unremovable and directly lined up with your spine, aka Murphys Law. Easily fixed you can drill out the rivets.

I like the bags and hope he can get many years out of them those were just two things that stood out to me.

Cheers,
An Oregon Carpenter.

Chris J.: Ive tried boulder bags and other occidental bags and these are superb in fit and finish and the fact that the bags are all sewn in and wont slide around. Worth the investment.

Anthony Balogh: It shouldn't be this hard to find a workbelt suitable if you're LH,,I suspect most people that are LH suffer along with a RH belt . It is good that the pouch doesn't slide along the belt , the size adjustment could do with a little tweaking but it works reasonably well. The nail pic slots are a little tight and although it may stretch a bit and improve overtime these should be formed a little better and resist stretching. The speed square slot needs some sort of wear strip or widening just at the top so You don't have to fight to slip it in ,so.e sort if hard plastic or even metal. I don't want my $500 pouch wearing out . It is comfortable for sure .Only last thing is they should have a few less tool slots ,,they show this thing laden up with a shit ton of tools but it's a work belt not a tool box

Chad: Great rig. And big enough once adjusted to fit around my winter gear plus harness and I'm not a small guy. Wish it had a built in hook for my impact but if you search I'm pretty sure there is an option for that on a different pouch. Would get this again but hopefully won't have to cause I'll be retired 🤪. I suggest the suspenders.

SPSP: Without a doubt the most comfortable and practical tool bags I've ever worn. I only have 1 complaint: I'm skinny, and tool belts seem to be made for guys that are not. I'm a 34" waist, and many belts don't even go small enough to stay on me. So if you're a thin person, or gifting a tool belt to a thin person, pay special attention to the minimum waist size.
The Adjust-to-Fit OxyLight DOES fit me, and the innovative adjust-to-fit system is very cool and comfortable, but there's a caveat. Because of the way the adjustable belt works, by the time I shrink it down to fit me, there's almost no belt space left in between the left pouch, hammer loop and right pouch. They're almost tight side-by-side. You also can't slide the main pouches forward or back, because they're part of the adjustable belt. This might not be a problem for most people, but I like to add extra accessories on my belt (a drill hook and a nail strip pouch). I was just able to get it to work by literally smashing them together as tight as possible, and there's no room for shifting anything at all.
To summarize, this is ONLY a problem for someone who is thin (<34" waist) and wants extra room on the belt. For...

Michael Leier: So comfortable I'm so happy I made the switch the only problem I have with it is the placement of the nail pick holder it's still a pain to but it back in the holster even after a year but all and all best decision I have made to get this one

Titus Giaimo: I do roofing and use this pouch its good I've had it loaded with at least 35lbs of nails and tools cause im that guy who only wants to go up and stay for a good part of the day, I've got to be all over so this fits good and dosnt pinch my waste I use the suspenders also but they are starting to rip in the back a little bit cause I hang my pouch at the end of the day and it only had a crap plastic D ring which is long gone. My pouch is frayed and has some spots starting to wear threw but its not threw all the way with at least another layer of thick canvas. Good pouch I like that it has 2 good dump pouches for my fasteners tape chalk line, on the bottom of each side.

Amazon Customer: I’ve owned several different brands of bags and without fail, every year I’m buying new ones cuz I’ve worn them out. As a framer I wear my bags everyday, all day and they get the abuse that comes with the job. I’ve always been hesitant to spend $100+ on bags because they never last, but I’m glad I finally did. Honestly I didn’t even consider any other brands, their rep speaks volumes and for good reason.

I have to admit, the break in period was a little rough, but once they were, the most form fitting, comfortable and functional bags ever. I could never really get my other bags to fit quite right and to stay set up, always readjusting them and at the end of a long day my back would kill. Not with these, the stay set up and only continue to fit better the more you wear them. Best part, cuz they fit significantly better, my back doesn’t hurt at the end of the day

Amazon Customer: It's light, comfortable, hugs your body and looks fantastic.

But it's impossible to adjust. The hammer holder is too high, the combo square loop is too low, and too loose, and positioned kind of awkwardly, the knife holders in the left pocket are too narrow, the nail pockets are too deep, there could be a few more tool compartments, they don't provide a nail bar loop on the backside, on the left where it should be, and there is no way to hold down the excess belt part, so it gets in the way and flops around.

Overall it's well made, but the design makes it not worth the high price.
