Review for model:

The backpack is fantastic, the stitching and materials are top-notch (so is the price!), a great addition to the Direct Action Halifax backpack because not all side pouches from other manufacturers fit – for example, the Wisport Sparrow doesn't fit and I had to return it. Unfortunately, the price is steep, but there aren't many options. Generally, given the price, it's something to consider, but I'm satisfied.

Good quality backpack. A very convenient solution for use with a plate carrier, because wearing a backpack with straps on a plate carrier is just very uncomfortable. I recommend buying comfort pads for the Spitfire vest.

The backpack is good, even though it's 12L, the design and additional pockets definitely increase its functionality and features, but there is one major downside. If you decide to attach it to a plate carrier, the YKK zippers are plastic and not very durable. Basically, while pushing through branches, the backpack got caught on a thin one and the zipper simply broke when I didn’t stop walking, and I only realized something was loose after a few hours. So that's a plus and a minus.
