Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam represents an advanced camouflage design introduced in 2002 by Crye Precision, a US-based company, in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as a component of the Objective Force Warrior initiative. Developed to deliver a highly adaptable camouflage solution, MultiCam excels across diverse terrains and under varying environmental circumstances. The pattern incorporates seven distinct colors, producing smooth gradient transitions between green, brown, and beige hues. This enables seamless adaptation to different surroundings, reflecting greens in woodland environments and transitioning to browns and beiges in arid or desert landscapes. In Central and Eastern Europe, MultiCam is particularly effective during autumn and within dry vegetation. Gaining global recognition, MultiCam is widely employed by military forces and elite units worldwide. In 2010, the US Army officially selected the pattern as the standard camouflage for troops deployed in Afghanistan, taking over from the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern has also become accessible to civilians, establishing itself as a top choice among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

Great, compact backpack. It can easily be mounted on the back of a plate carrier and works well with a hydration bladder of about 1.5 liters. Thanks to the MOLLE system, the backpack can be easily adapted to your own preferences. Very good value for the price.
-
I bought this product as an addition to my Multicam Black gear. It’s not particularly spacious, but it will fit a water bladder and a few small items. Its advantage is the ease of attachment to the Helikon-Tex 'Training Mini Rig.'
-
The backpack is very well made from quality materials, it can be attached to any vest as long as it has MOLLE on the back. The backpack itself is comfortable to wear, has a sufficient number of pockets that are well distributed.
-
Very nice and simple base for customization, the capacity may seem small, but the MOLLE system allows you to attach additional accessories/pockets, increasing the backpack's capacity. Very good quality material, zippers as well, the backpack will definitely last a long time, I recommend it.
-
Comfortable backpack, high quality workmanship and many customization options. Perfect for day trips to the field. But it's worth hunting for a promotion because the price may leave something to be desired.
-
Great, compact backpack that works well for everyday use or as a supplement to a larger backpack. Thanks to the Molle system, it can be easily personalized by adding extra pockets for water, binoculars, or other accessories. However, the retail price is a bit too high, although the quality of workmanship is very high.
-
I hesitated for a long time before purchasing due to the high price. Ultimately, I decided to combine this product with my Guardian Reece Chest rig and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Both elements cooperate great together and offer a wide range of configuration options. Helikon as always at the highest level!
-
The backpack meets expectations. Both the quality of workmanship and the materials used are at a high level. I was looking for a compact solution, and this backpack perfectly fits my needs. It was purchased as part of a promotional offer, which was an additional advantage.
-
The backpack is simply fantastic! And the best thing is that you can mount it to the Helikon brand Chicom! I have a hydration insert in it, provisions, and I have attached extra pouches. I recommend it!
-
Very good patrol backpack for use under a vest. Thanks to the straps included, you can even convert it into a bicycle backpack for rides. Very spacious, it can fit food rations, a poncho or smaller items. Plus for the option to mount a water bladder and secure it with a clip.

Perfect backpack for EDC. Let's start with the fact that it lacks small pockets, straps, etc. for little things, flashlights, or knives. There is a great solution for this: the Helikon EDC Insert Large - Olive Green pocket fits perfectly. You just need to attach it at the highest Velcro spot. It fits lots of gear. Underneath, you can still fit a small Mil-Tec first aid kit, a headlamp, paracord, and more. In the zipped pocket in the flap, you can fit a power bank, two cables, a notebook, and a pen. The material is sturdy Cordura. As for comfort, everyone has to assess for themselves. Personally, I haven't worn a backpack for many years, so I'm getting used to it. So, it's perfect for EDC—you just need to buy an extra pocket. I recommend it. I'm satisfied.

Great backpack for the city and beyond. It's very well made. The material is durable and pleasant to the touch, which is rare. The biggest downside of this backpack is the lack of a handle, loop, or anything you could grab it by and carry without putting it on your back. However, you can make a handle yourself using paracord and a collision knot, which can be hidden under the backpack's material—very neat and invisible. The advantages are: It doesn’t make any noise during use, e.g., from rattling zippers or buckles. Dangling adjustment straps are held together with a good Velcro strap. There are hydration system ports on both sides of the backpack, but not at the top in the middle, which is strange. It's stiff, though not everywhere, as it doesn't need to be stiff in every spot. Advanced attachment system plus an elastic cord with a lock at the bottom of the backpack. Large Velcro strip additionally placed on the MOLLE system.
-
A compact-sized backpack, quite spacious yet handy. The material it is made from is Cordura, which means it is durable. The stitched straps allow for attaching various items in many configurations. I recommend it.
-
I ordered the Helikon Guardian Smallpack backpack as a replacement for a waist bag and those 'men's' pouches. It is much more comfortable and doesn't get in the way of daily activities, plus it is much more spacious than those. For small items, water, etc., which you need in the summer, it's perfect.
