The backpack has just arrived - at first glance it's 5/5. That is, nice workmanship and perfect size. Just what I was looking for for one-day trips abroad, just to pack a change of underwear and basic toiletries - a hybrid between a waist bag and a backpack. I feel I will be satisfied!

From the beginning. First, I bought the Helikon Urban Admin Pouch. After filling it to the brim, it was too heavy. And since I don't like wearing items on my belt, a waist bag was out too. I chose this. You have to get used to carrying it at first if you've never done it before. It can rub your neck. At first. As for the interior. The largest inside pocket. The holster included in the set is great, and it will fit a Glock 17/19, among others. Above the holster in the upper section, you can fit a Mil-Tec first aid kit. The middle pocket is also large, partially unzippable. At the bottom, I have a Helikon Large organizer, and in the upper part, an organizer from the Urban Admin Pouch. Fits exactly. In the Large I keep a pen, Victorinox Ranger, Armytek elf C2, and Leatherman st300. On the elastic, you can attach something light too. In the Urban Admin Pouch organizer, I have small stuff: a fire starter, Sanremu, batteries, matches, a lighter, a compass, etc. A 10,000mAh powerbank with cable will fit at the bottom. The third zipped compartment outside holds two glow sticks, hardtack, an energy bar, sho-ka cola, vinyl gloves, a resuscitation mask, tissues, 4 meters of paracord, and there's still some space left. The external pocket with a buckle is probably for papers and so on. The small pocket on the strap is tough. Maybe a pack of cigarettes, ID card, or some headphones will fit there. Overall, it's an excellent, comfortable, small, and very roomy backpack with great access to everything. I'm very satisfied. Highly recommend.

A brilliant little backpack. Its great advantage is that it has only one shoulder strap. The whole construction is very comfortable. Overall, incredibly well thought out. It works great for me, so I recommend it.

Very nice small backpack with an unusual construction. Inside, there are many practical mounts, and a phone pocket on the strap. An unconventional solution, but very handy if you don't want to carry bigger backpacks. Helikon is a Polish company and everything is of a high standard. The downside here is the high price.

Brilliant bag design. It's great to carry. Much better than a small 10-liter backpack and so on. Nice pockets, very well thought out. I recommend it to everyone with a clear conscience.

The perfect small backpack for cycling trips, and great for city breaks. Nicely made and a thoughtfully simple design. It’s a product worth considering instead of, for example, a small backpack with two straps.

The backpack is perfect for the city. Personally, I don't use Helikon's VIS inserts, but it's always possible to expand and organize the carried EDC gear as needed. The pocket without Velcro, with a zipper, works well for various small items. The rear pocket fits a bottle or thermos perfectly. I recommend it.

A great backpack for everyday use. The interior is very well designed. Two out of three pockets are fully covered with Velcro. You can attach various pouches, bags, and mounts to them. Highly recommend.

Small backpack, perfect for daily use in the city. There's no panel or modular insert for gear, unfortunately you have to buy that separately. The fabric is quite durable.

A backpack just right for city trips for a 16-year-old. Tested on short routes in the Pieniny Mountains. The weight is well distributed on the back with a comfortable carrying strap. Lots of pockets and a well-thought-out access design without taking it off your back. Carefully made.

Nice backpack, I recommend buying organizers for it. Solid quality workmanship!

Review for model:

Great, small but roomy bag. I cared about being able to access its contents without taking the backpack off. I don't carry a weapon in it, but my kid's stuff (sometimes you need to grab it faster than a pistol). It fits really a lot. Both documents, a water bottle, and even bedding from daycare (pillowcases). The only thing that bothered me at first was, as a left-hander, I wanted to change the direction of wearing the bag, but after a few days I got used to it.
