The bag is made of high-quality materials, and the color 7013 is very similar to ranger green and will hold everything like a standard assault backpack. However, slightly wider straps and an option to detach the side pockets would be useful. On the side straps, you can only attach narrow molle pouches, because wider ones make it impossible to open them.
Helikon-Tex Ambush Backpack 22 l - Shadow Grey
Featuring a 22-liter capacity, this backpack is constructed from rugged 500D Cordura fabric for superior durability. Outfitted with robust YKK zippers, the pack also includes a dedicated compartment designed for a hydration cartridge.
Capacious main compartment, two side pockets, velour lined front pocket, Beavertail pocket
A spacious main compartment secured with two-way zippers is designed to transport essential equipment. Deep unzipping with these zippers enables easier and wider access to your gear. Inside, there is a dedicated section for a hydration system and a flat mesh pocket for additional organization.
Side pockets sealed with flaps are fastened with fastex buckles. Underneath, adjustable chimneys with drawstrings and stoppers provide protection against dirt and dust entering the inside, while also preventing carried items from falling out.
The top pocket is lined with velour, ensuring safe storage for smaller valuable items such as a camera, binoculars, or night vision devices. Velcro on the front panel allows attachment of Morale Patches or emblems. The bottom pocket contains two key loops, dual compartments, and a flat mesh pocket to help organize small gear items.
The Beavertail pocket offers secure carrying for equipment like a tactical helmet or a rolled-up jacket, fitting them between the pocket and the backpack. Adjustable and removable buckles allow the Beavertail to be folded and stored in a dedicated pocket at the bottom of the backpack.
MOLLE/PALS webbing, elastic cord
Tapes compatible with the MOLLE/PALS system are stitched above the side pockets, enabling the attachment of additional pouches to expand the backpack’s capacity. An elastic cord with a drawstring is located at the bottom, providing secure external carrying for items such as a jacket or sleeping bag.
Adjustable straps, chest strap
The ergonomic carry system of the backpack features adjustable straps with soft padding, designed to minimize shoulder irritation. Wide, contoured straps ensure optimal weight distribution across the shoulders. Webbing is stitched along the entire length of the straps, providing attachment points for additional gear.
A wide hip belt and a height-adjustable chest strap enhance load stabilization and comfort during long treks.

The Ambush backpack with a capacity of 22 liters is perfect for day trips thanks to its compact design and proper balance. It is made of durable material, and the seams are solid even under heavy load. I like the functional interior and the MOLLE strap system which allows you to attach additional pouches as needed. The RAL 7013 color makes the backpack barely visible in the field and blends well with the environment. It’s an excellent choice for those who need a durable and versatile backpack for everyday use.

Great patent with the "beaver tail" on the helmet. You can detach it and gain some extra space in the pocket. Another plus - no mesh used on the straps and back, which usually wears out and becomes fuzzy quickly. In the back, there's a removable aluminum frame that you can adjust to fit yourself. At the promotional price, probably the best option in the category of daypacks.

The backpack is made of solid materials, has many pockets and compartments, which makes it easier to organize things during a trip. Ideal for adventure lovers, but also works well for everyday use.
-
Great small, durable backpack. Lots of pockets and compartments. The hip belt is rather to be removed, unless it would be used by someone quite short. Despite the backpack being small, you can pack a lot into it. The package arrived the next day, as always - express delivery.
-
As usual with Helikon Tex, the workmanship is top-notch. The backpack is the perfect size for day trips and will even be useful for multi-day outings. The shipment to Sweden arrived very quickly.
-
An interesting new proposal from Helikon, somewhat similar to the Bergen model. It really works well for me on day trips because it has thoughtfully designed compartments.
-
The backpack is comfortable. The well-designed interior allows you to easily organize your gear in the backpack, and access to each section is extremely simple. The material is solid and durable.
