Very well-made backpack, great materials, truly world-class workmanship, design, and materials. Very thoughtfully designed. The only drawback is that it seems smaller than 40 liters to me, but that might just be an impression. Also, attaching the hip belt is a bit complicated, but after removing the Velcro you can detach the buckle, and then it's all much easier.
Patrol backpack with a capacity of 40 liters made of durable and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura.
Both the front panel and side panels are equipped with a laser-cut MOLLE mounting system. It allows you to attach additional pockets or, for example, a first aid kit. The backpack is also equipped with compression straps, which can also be used to cinch additional equipment, such as a sleeping bag or a sleeping pad.
From the top, the backpack is closed with a flap with a YKK zipper. The main compartment is partially covered with soft velour. Inside the backpack there is an additional modular system compatible with MOLLE/PALS. This allows for extensive modification of the backpack, and even converting it into a medical or assault backpack.
The backpack is equipped with two pockets located at the top of the flap. One of them has been finished with velour. Additional open side pockets allow carrying bottles or spare equipment.
The carrying system consists of comfortable, contoured, adjustable-length shoulder straps, a chest strap and a wide hip belt fastened with a durable WooJin buckle.
The front zippers allow for the installation of SPITFIRE panels further increasing the backpack's customization options.
On the front there is a small velcro panel that allows you to attach a patch, emblem or so-called Morale Patches.
Additional mounting points on the sides and bottom of the backpack, as well as a reinforced construction, make the backpack suitable for parachute jumping.

A professional backpack for many uses, in a universal 40L size. Ideal as a 3-day pack, for up to 72h of activities. Made from high-quality materials, at a level that users of the Direct Action brand don't need to be introduced to. Features the possibility of classic top opening as well as fully unzipping the backpack. Laser-cut PALs and AVS system zippers for attaching MOLLE system accessories and dedicated panels, allowing for backpack expansion and compatibility with the plate carrier. Detachable hip belt, which can serve as a tactical belt, contoured shoulder straps, and removable comfort pads. Additional pockets and compatibility with hydration systems. Quick-release capability. Side pockets for bottles. Professional equipment for demanding users. That's the theory—let's see how it holds up in longer practical use. Time will tell, but the design and workmanship can be recommended blindly!

I gave it away. The backpack is very specialized. Very well sewn, the zippers work brilliantly. Heavy. Sturdy. Since it is too specialized for me (it does not stand on the ground when you set it down, it is narrow, tall, and too heavy for 40 liters). You can attach Direct Action panels to it – like 2 pockets. It all looks great. It's a shame it didn't suit my amateur needs as the quality is excellent. And the brand... :) I think it will suit people who: - need a narrow, tall backpack (you can sit in a car with it – it doesn't take as much space as a regular backpack) - want to lay it flat on the ground/shooting bench, it opens like a suitcase - want very good gear (durable) for very tough and long-term outdoor stays. I give the maximum score for quality. Remember, this is specialist gear. Not for everyone.
