From a woman's perspective :) it took me some time and several backpacks to find one which, despite having a military style, would still be somewhat urban; 2) the build of the backpack is anatomically comfortable; 3) the capacity is quite universal for travel/work. And I think I've finally succeeded. Above all, big kudos to Helikon for noticing women on the market and offering more and more products for us. As for the backpack itself: Coyote color - pleasing to the eye, comfort - good placement of the chest strap, the weight of the backpack - empty is acceptable, and loaded with about 3 liters of water bottles the weight still distributes well on the back. I bought an organizer for small things separately. I think if you're looking for a backpack suitable for the city, for a weekend, and is really well made, this is a worthy candidate. Previously, I used a 16L backpack from another well-known Polish company, it was very good, but just too small.

An unrivaled backpack in the 20-25L range, with an excellent price/quality ratio. Original Cordura, YKK zippers, Wojin plastics, great back stiffening, and at a promotional price – just take it without hesitation. This is my next Helikon backpack and once again, I wasn't disappointed. I was missing something in between the 10L and 35L backpacks. For me, an additional advantage is the relatively civilian look and the fact that it's made by a Polish manufacturer. I'm tempted by Wisport, but when I think I could buy three Helikon backpacks for the same price, I pass. I recommend it.

The Rhodesian Camo backpack looks amazing in person. This pattern has a great, old-school vibe and is very rarely seen on the streets or trails, which makes the backpack really stand out from the crowd. The capacity of 21 liters is perfect for everyday use (EDC) as well as for single-day trips outdoors.

A great backpack for everyday use or for an overnight stay in the woods. Unfortunately, its dimensions make it impossible to use as carry-on luggage on a plane; it is about 7 cm too tall (unless we remove the stiffener). The customization options are great, it’s just a pity that for quite a lot of money we get a bare backpack. In terms of quality, it really is on another level; I have nothing to complain about.

It holds quite a lot and you can really configure the backpack’s setup nicely, of course by buying additional dividers, pouches, and Velcro attachments. You can even move extra Velcro pouches from a vest, including ones from a brand other than Helikon. For me, the lack of dividers that are sewn in or mounted as standard is actually a huge advantage, not a drawback, because I can arrange the backpack however I want and tailor it to myself 😀 plus rotate my gear. Importantly, you can also use pouches even from Decathlon, as you can see from that yellow piece in the backpack 😀 a Primal double-mag pouch, as well as a small pouch; at the bottom there is an attached M-Tac waist bag and it works well, because I could also attach whatever I want inside it since it also has a Velcro panel 😀. You can also see that I used the MOLLE system to attach more pockets, and it’s a pity there were only the last two in this pattern on the website 😞 because a third one would have fit on the front attachment point 😀. When the backpack is fully loaded, it still performs well and I don’t feel tired carrying it, which is actually kind of surprising 😀 of course that’s a big plus for the backpack 😀 The price is amazing for such a backpack on sale at 200 PLN, of course, because 360 PLN is in my opinion exaggerated, especially considering that you still need to buy extra pockets. Backpack 200 PLN (+/-) Panel 80 PLN (+/-) Primal 40 PLN (+/-) = 320 PLN (+/-) (not 360 PLN for the backpack alone) I’m not even counting the other items, because I already had them and used them to customize the space my own way 😀 that’s an advantage, not a flaw 😀 I could play around with it and set it up exactly how I wanted, and that is an important thing 😀 for me. I recommend buying the backpack while it’s still at this price, because it’s a good price and then it’s worth buying other products too 😀 unless you already have them in stock 😀

The Helikon-Tex EDC Cordura 21L backpack in the Rhodesian Camo version is a solid model for the city and the outdoors, made from high-quality Cordura, offering very good ergonomics and a well-designed interior. I bought it for about 700 CZK, so it was an exceptionally good deal. However, it is worth remembering that the purchase of additional accessories may be necessary.

A very good backpack. The size is ideal and comfortable. The workmanship is of a very high standard. Overall, I am satisfied. Shipping, as usual, was very fast. I recommend the militaria.pl store, where I have been shopping for years. My son is also satisfied.

This backpack is definitely worth recommending! Helikon often offers high quality, but this backpack is on another level. Careful stitching, an extremely well-thought-out design, even the plastic components - you can see that they are high quality. A huge advantage of the backpack is its very rigid reinforcement with two side panels and a metal flat bar in the middle. Of course, the reinforcement is accessible from the inside and can be removed for washing. Unfortunately, the inside is empty, and that is a small downside, but that is because the backpack is designed for a whole series of organizers, which allows you to customize it freely and arrange your gear inside the backpack.

A very good backpack. The size is ideal and comfortable for me. The workmanship is of a very high standard. The price could be lower, but of course everything is getting more expensive and prices are what they are. Overall, I am satisfied. Shipping, as usual, was very fast. I recommend the militaria.pl store, where I have been shopping for years.

Great backpack. Strong material that does not shine like ordinary nylon. A very well-thought-out versatile system that allows you to arrange various pouches and organizers. At the promotional price, you can set up the backpack with the 3 most necessary organizers for less than the retail price of the backpack alone.

Fresh out of the box: the product gives the impression of being very solidly made and of good-quality materials. It is also noticeably larger than I expected. One downside, however, is the sewn-in rain flaps, which in my opinion negatively affect the operation of the zippers. Already during the first opening and closing, they started to snag. Despite this, the overall product is worth recommending.

A very nice backpack, durable, you can feel the solid workmanship, and it is very spacious for 21L. Even with my old (not optimized) kit, there is still plenty of room. Of course, the weight is quite high for this size, but that is the price to pay for the confidence that the gear will not let you down. Personally, I take it with me to the forest, and so far it is the most comfortable of all the backpacks I have had.

The build quality is outstanding. Special appreciation for the reinforcement and the multitude of adaptation options thanks to MOLLE. Helikon convinced me of their brand, and I mainly choose them now. I recommend it.

Great purchase. The backpack is masterfully made. The material used to make this backpack is also top-notch. Now I throw in 2 organizers inside and the backpack is ready to use. With this promotion going on now, I just couldn't not buy it. I highly recommend it!!!

A very practical backpack for everyday use that combines comfort with solid workmanship. The material is durable, the pockets are well placed, and the whole product gives the impression of lasting for many years.
