The dimensions are smaller than stated: 31x22x20, and unfortunately my netbook, which is 30 cm wide, does not fit—so I was very disappointed. The actual size is: 28x about 20x about 10. And the total capacity may (and by eye it is) actually 4.5 liters, not, as would result from the given dimensions: about 12 liters. So the capacity is stated correctly, but the dimensions are not. But this does not affect my rating—because it’s not the bag’s fault. And I liked it because: it has many functional pockets, a simple and functional clasp, a nice brown color with lighter stripes, you can see the quality of the materials and stitching. I just don’t know why the strap is detachable (buckles on both sides)—I don’t see a use for it for now, so for me it’s just extra plastic and a place more prone to damage. Unless the strap breaks earlier—then it’s easier to replace it. Even though the intended purpose for purchase turned out to be a miss, I kept it because it’s functional for other uses, sturdy, and looks good.
The Claymore shoulder bag draws its design from the iconic Bandolier M7 bag used during World War II, originally crafted to transport the M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine.
Constructed from rugged 500D Cordura, known for its outstanding resistance to abrasion and tears, the bag provides excellent durability. Multiple compartments and pockets offer ample space for daily necessities, making it an ideal choice for EDC (Everyday Carry) applications.
Outfitted with a total of fourteen pockets, the Claymore bag serves well as a go bag, with enough storage for extra ammunition, a canteen, and a lightweight jacket. The two roomy front pockets close securely with Velcro and snap fasteners. Inside each are two flat pockets specifically sized for AR/AK magazines. Three more pockets are positioned at the rear of the bag.
A rectangular, zippered section provides four flat pockets and a spacious open compartment suitable for a notebook or tablet, among other items. An additional zippered pocket inside is designated for documents. Integrated MOLLE webbing on the sides and rear panel offers gear attachment options along the bag’s exterior.
A large flap featuring easy-to-use Velcro closures secures the entire bag. The flap comes with a prominent Velcro panel, perfect for attaching various patches or insignia, such as national flags, unit symbols, or Morale Patches, granting the bag a unique and personalized appearance.

I bought it and I'm definitely YES... a very pleasant model, not too big but roomy thanks to two pockets that can fit a 1L water bottle... lots of organizers... very good workmanship..
-
An interesting bag, so flat, but you can fit a lot in it thanks to the two external pockets, which can easily hold a 1L Nalgene bottle or a canteen. The promotional price definitely tips the scales in favor of YES :)

A pleasant bag... not too big, not too small... A large number of various pockets and organizers... could be cheaper... ;) Besides that, it looks nice... the guys from Helikon did a good job...
-
An interesting item from Helikon.. A large number of pockets, organizers, etc. It doesn't look very big, but that's an optical illusion... you can fit quite a lot in it, yet it doesn't look overly large... really pleasant.
-
Nice old-style bag. Its appearance refers to the original mine bag. Even though it doesn't look spacious, that's just an impression. Each side pocket fits two 0.5l cans. In the zipped pocket I can easily fit an organizer larger than A5 size. For me, it's a blast. I recommend it!
-
A product worth recommending. A compact, spacious bag. Ideal for everyday use as well as for trips outdoors. It can fit a small laptop or a large tablet. This color version really looks good, but color is a matter of taste. I recommend it!
-
A neat and durable bag. I purchased it as a container for medical items and dressings, and it serves its purpose well. The two front pockets are very spacious, and the middle one with a zipper can hold even more.
-
A very nice bag in an original camouflage - this cheerful mesh is more lively than a solid color, and at the same time it doesn't scream 'tactical' in an urban environment. :) The external pocket easily fits a Jetboil stove.
-
Branded product from a well-known manufacturer, high quality workmanship, perfect for a day trip to the forest, you can pack quite a lot of things, I recommend the purchase.

The bag is very well made. It's small but very roomy. You can fit in your city EDC, but also take it to the forest. It's designed in such a way that you can easily take it to the office and no one will suspect it's such a wonder :) 5+
-
A great bag as a complement to other ways of carrying gear, small and handy but very well thought out and spacious - everything is nicely divided and doesn't move around, fits well against the body, and items placed in the vertical outer pockets don't get in the way - highly recommended.
