Skiing, biking and hiking.

My KOALA keeps my phone safe when I'm skiing. I would never answer a call or take a picture on the chairlift before I got it. Now, no worries!

I bought a KOALA for my 15 year old daughter. She goes skiing at our local ski hill. I do not ski. So I like her to keep her phone with her so I know when to come pick her up. She had lost 2 phones in the snow in previous years, one that we didn't find until spring. Now that she has a more expensive phone, having a safety net for it makes me feel so much better about her taking it skiing. She also was using it when she was filling a large water tank for our horses and the Koala saved her phone from falling to a certain death in the tank.

The Koala does great on my iPhone 12 max with a waterproof case. I like having the option for clipping into with a carabiner or attaching it to the edge of a pocket. So far I have only used it for snowboarding and it nice to have that little bit of backup when on the chair lift or in deep powered.

I use my KOALA everyday! I am a state park manager and ski patroller out in the snow everyday and with my KOALA there is no worry of losing my phone. I plan on putting it to good use when I sea kayak this summer.

I bought 4–one for each in our family. Grips my iPhone XS, my wife’s & son’s 11Pro, and daughter’s 13 very securely! No longer any worries about launching a search mission for an iPhone on a steep black diamond in Montana—happened to my daughter—or losing it down an ice-fishing hole in Minnesota—constant worry with my 12 year-old son!

Outstanding product on the chair lift and in the boat. Never lose it while playing or working hard in life’s adventures

Put it on my phone today and I’m impressed. I am a very avid fly fisherman and uplands birds hunter. Issue with shipping and communication, but was rectified quickly, once we talked

We ski. I'm always terrified of dropping my phone when I'm on the lift. No longer! Love this thing,

I especially love the sense of security it gives me while taking photos on the lift.

Now that I’m using this I can’t imagine not having it. Got as gifts for my whole skiing family.

keeps our phones secure while we ski

I use an iPhone, and I use the KOALA harness while skiing. It gives me a certain level of comfort that I won't drop the phone if I were to get it out while one the chairlift, or if I were to get it out to take a picture while in a powder area, that I won't drop it in deep snow.

I gave my son this is a Christmas Gift and he loves it. Uses it when skiing and has expressed several times that it 'saved his phone' while on the chairlift.

Used it on 3 ski trips this season. Flawlessly operated.

It’s a great concept but the rubber comes off of my phone frequently so I don’t feel entirely safe with it. Still needs some tweaks!

Does exactly what you need it to do. I use it snowboarding & on my kayak.

The thing is perfect. I love to ski with music. It lets me pull my phone from my pocket and queue up songs for my next run. I can do that without being terrified of dropping my phone off the lift

Only reason this gets 4* and not 5* is that the Koala covers key areas of the screen on my Galaxy s21±. This makes some phone use difficult. The better Koala would just be a phone case with the same tether/strap, though this would need to be phone-model specific. It wouldn't be as universal.

Used this for when I bring my phone out on a chair lift. No more fear of dropping it. I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and all camera lenses are unobstructed. Only downside is it doesn’t cover the upper right corners of your screen on iPhone and makes it hard to go back. Definitely not a deal breaker. Great product

Love them! Friends love them!

So very tempting to take out that phone on the chair lift… But we saw more than one skier searching for a lost phone in the snow below. The Koala was the solution: chair lift selfies and email check without danger!

Used it Jan 27/28 2022 at Keystone, CO for a two day snowboard trip. Worked great as described and added that extra layer of security for me when I was on the lifts knowing the phone wouldn't slip outta my hands and into the snow below. Worth the money I spent easily.

I bought my Koala for a ski trip. My husband was glad I finally had a layer of security when snapping photos from the lift. It worked great! I had to use an upper pocket bc the leash isn’t very long and unclip it for selfies for the same reason. Easy enough. You have to be careful bc the side straps do slip sometimes (esp if you push them to make sure the camera isn’t covered) so it’s not failsafe but definitely better than any other brand I found. Straps are thick and sturdy. All in all, happy with this purchase.
