Great quality of workmanship, the backpack is exceptionally comfortable even with different levels of load. It's clear that its design and production have been well thought out. I am very satisfied with the purchase and sincerely recommend it.
Dragon Egg Enlarged offers an expanded take on the classic Dragon Egg backpack, boasting a 30-liter capacity. Designed as a patrol backpack, it excels during tactical operations as well as in daily scenarios. Outfitted with two dedicated hydration insert pockets—one within the primary compartment and another in the rear zippered section—the pack enables optimal hydration organization. A special sleeve in the rear pocket allows secure storage of a radio or a 15-inch laptop.
A spacious front compartment, mirroring the main pocket in size, is equipped with a straightforward organizer and a mesh pocket for streamlined gear stowage. Side pockets are ideal for carrying slim or compact items but can be expanded when unzipped, enabling the transport of a Nalgene bottle as needed.
The backpack’s exterior features a laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system, supporting effortless attachment and configuration of additional equipment. Compact in design, the pack remains smaller than most bags of its capacity, delivering heightened comfort when paired with a ballistic vest and tactical belt.
The backpack's carrying system has been equipped with an internal back stiffener and soft, comfortable shoulder straps. The detachable hip belt can also be used as a tactical belt thanks to the additional suspenders included in the set. The carrying handle is made of paracord. In an emergency situation, it can be unraveled to obtain 5.5 meters of cord.
Additional elements include two-way YKK zippers, compression straps with buckles on the sides and bottom, and a 12 x 8 cm Velcro panel for personal patches. Utilized Duraflex - WooJin buckles guarantee resilience and reliability, even in extreme environments.

A disaster. For a backpack that cost nearly a thousand, I expected quality. Unfortunately, after not very intensive use (events, small shopping) after just a year and a half, the strap started to come off and the main zipper broke. Even a Chinese Swiss Gear knockoff lasted longer and was three times cheaper. We'll see how the manufacturer responds to the complaint, but I thought at this price it would be a quality product. Really disappointing.

Awesome. Probably the best backpack I've ever seen. It has everything necessary for this size. This one is enlarged to 30 liters. It fits a lot, and you can also organize the interior well and add some elements - like additional pockets, holders, straps, or elastics. The only thing you might complain about is that it's a bit harder to mount them than if some strap system was used. But this doesn't pose a problem in the long run. The workmanship is very good, and first impressions are also very good.

Since purchase, I have marched about 200 km with this backpack. It was used very intensively and I didn't spare it. Pros: - Very solid construction. - Comfortable, soft straps. - Interesting color (shadow grey) Cons: - The biggest drawback of this backpack is the placement of the internal pockets and organizer in the upper parts of the compartments. This makes inserting and removing larger items (mess kit, food packs, rolled poncho, etc.) extremely inconvenient. - The capacity of the backpack (30 liters) is probably measured theoretically, because larger items stuffed in the large compartments do not expand the backpack outward, but into the inside, thus taking space from the second compartment. - The strap adjustment holds for about an hour of intensive marching, then you have to tighten the straps again.

Earlier bought mk2 25 litres. Now bought this 30 litres bag. It's a very nice bag with good quality. Shadow grey color is excelent for a city. It's have sugnificant weight, but the quality worth it.

Irreplaceable, tough and well thought-out backpack. Great as an EDC backpack and packing for a multi-day trip with it is pure pleasure. Worth every penny invested because it's an investment for years. Its appearance makes an impression, and in black it doesn't immediately reveal its tactical nature.

Hello, the backpack is solid and worth recommending!! The number of compartments and the quality of materials are impressive. You can feel its weight, but that's nothing compared to its overall rating and overall form, which I’ll rate a 5!!!

I treated myself by buying this backpack. It exceeded my expectations in quality, durability, ergonomics, and workmanship. It’s quite expensive, but in my opinion, worth every penny. It’s quite stiff and takes some time to break in. I’ve been using it daily for a while now and the only thing that shows is the dust (because it’s black). Lots of options to configure it with accessories if you want. The carrying system is such that with 10-12 kilograms I feel like I’m carrying five. So far, no downsides. Highly recommend.

Great backpack for everyday use, and it also works perfectly at the shooting range or for short trips. I recommend it.
-
The backpack is amazing! I wanted a lot of pockets and compartments inside. The backpack is strong with solid stitching! The backpack has already been tested - it doesn’t let in water, but it doesn’t hurt to reinforce it with an impregnant. Is it worth the price - Definitely!

Great backpack for everyday use.
-
The price is adequate to the quality of the product, very spacious and comfortable.
-
The materials, fastenings, and workmanship are very good. The backpack is comfortable, spacious, with many compartments and pockets. The hip belt is a nice feature—you can detach it if you’re not using it.

It's hard to say how durable it will be right now, we'll see after some time. Today I can say that the backpack is refined in every detail and sits great on the back. Lots of pockets and compartments. The additional reinforced pocket for a laptop is also a plus. It works perfectly during travel, mountain trips, or normal city outings.
