The well-designed layout ensures easy and rapid access to stored equipment. Designed for tactical missions, outdoor adventures, as well as daily EDC carry.

Thoughtful pocket layout

Featuring a total of 7 strategically placed pockets, the backpack offers optimal storage and easy organization of equipment:

  • A roll-up beavertail pocket on the front allows for secure helmet transport.
  • An upper pocket lined with velour provides safe storage for glasses.
  • An additional upper pocket includes an organizer compartment for keeping small items accessible.
  • Two elastic side pockets are designed to hold a bottle or thermal mug.
  • Inside the main compartment, a mesh pocket adds extra organizational capacity.
  • A specialized pocket inside the main section accommodates a hydration insert.

Access to the spacious main compartment and all additional pockets is secured with YKK zippers for dependable and seamless functionality.

Outfitted with adjustable shoulder straps, a sternum strap, and a hip belt, the backpack can be tailored to fit various body types. The reverse side of the straps and the back panel feature soft, breathable spacer mesh to enhance ventilation and comfort.

PenCott BadLands camouflage

PenCott represents a sophisticated, second-generation family of state-of-the-art digital camouflage patterns developed by the British company Hyde Definition. Distinguished by its multi-layered pattern architecture, it incorporates micro, meso, and macro elements.

PenCott BadLands is a camouflage option specifically engineered for arid, semi-open environments such as scrubland, steppes, grassy expanses, and undulating transition areas. Designed for terrains dominated by muted vegetation, parched ground, and fluctuating lighting, the pattern utilizes the same layered structure found in other PenCott variants—featuring realistic color dithering, a densely packed micropattern, and high-contrast accents that help break up the human outline. The BadLands color scheme combines hues of beige, olive, brown, and pale green to effectively blend into transitional and arid backdrops.

    I bought the Raider 20L backpack by Helikon-Tex in this store. The shipment arrived quickly, and the product turned out to be original. I have already had the opportunity to test it during a rainy walk—we were collecting water with a friend in the city. The rain cover worked great, because the contents of the backpack stayed dry. The straps soaked a little, but that's normal since they're on the outside. The back part is very comfortable and fits great against the back. I filled it up a lot, but the chest and hip straps significantly improve comfort—the backpack fits perfectly, and the straps don’t move. The accessories are also top-notch: the material is solid, pleasant to the touch, everything works as it should. The “beaver tail” solution is great—I can store a jacket or sweatshirt there and have the main compartment free. In reality, the backpack holds more than it seems. The side pockets for bottles also work well, the elastic bands keep them stable. The only complaint is a small spot on the pocket when unpacking, which I easily removed with a wet wipe—now it's flawless. The backpack meets expectations, I am completely satisfied with the purchase.

    Helikon Raider Backpack 20L – Black The backpack appears to be very durable and clearly intended for long-term use. Top-quality materials have been used here, and the zippers and stitching are solid and resistant. Despite its robust construction, the backpack is very comfortable to wear, even when fully packed. The straps and back panel provide excellent support, making it suitable for intensive, long-term carrying. Thoughtful compartment layout, adequate capacity for 20 liters, and an aesthetic, tactical design. To sum up, this is a premium backpack that combines sturdiness with user comfort. I highly recommend it.

    When I received the backpack, it seemed larger than Helikon's description indicated. I bought it for cycling. It has good side pockets where I can easily fit a one-liter Nalgene bottle. It's also important that it has an integrated rain cover, and the beaver tail can be rolled up when not in use. I recommend it.

    Excellent. It feels heavy in the hand but you don't feel the weight on your back (of course, after miles you will feel it). The only concern is about the product photos from the manufacturer, shops, and users. It looks different everywhere. So, if you see it in person, expect colors that are not the ones you saw.

    The backpack makes a great first impression but also has serious drawbacks. The straps are too close together and thin, so they slip out of the buckles when worn. All the straps should have had adjusters. Once improved, it stays on your back like it's glued, very comfortable. The Velcro fasteners for the excess loose straps are useless; they scraped wounds on my forearms when putting it on, so I replaced them with loops and clips. After modifications, it's great. The helmet pocket is perfect for carrying binoculars ;)

    This exact backpack was recommended to me by a professional. I use it as my EDC and I am very satisfied. It's a very comfortable and spacious backpack. The back of the backpack is very stiff, which improves comfort, and nothing digs into my back.

    The backpack is well made, solid and durable, after almost six months of daily use there are barely any signs of wear. The main compartment is spacious and the smaller pockets do the job. Unfortunately, the backpack doesn't have much space to attach things like a sleeping mat or sleeping bag, so you have to get creative with cords and carabiners. The carrier barely fits PASGT-type helmets, while FAST helmets fit just fine. The color of the backpack itself is fine, but the straps are a very light grassy green, not as depicted in the picture, which spoils the look a bit. However, when the backpack is in grass in summer, it blends in with the surroundings. The backpack is unstable even when fully loaded, which is annoying and is due to its shape, but on the back it distributes weight very well and is easy to carry, with the buckle on the shoulder straps and hip belt making it even easier. Overall, it's a very good backpack, but for the price it's better to pay a bit more and get something more versatile. It works well as a patrol backpack but is not suitable for the forest or several-day trips. Unfortunately, I bought the backpack at the old price and paid almost 600 PLN, however, as compensation, I received a coupon equivalent to the price difference. If I could turn back time, I’d either buy it in adaptive green or get something else.

    I use this backpack every day for work and it works great for that. Really well-designed mesh pockets, a large main compartment, and several small zippered pockets.

    Backpack used for several months. Tested on the training ground and at the border. Despite intensive use, there are no visible signs of wear (cordura does its job). Very spacious main and top compartments. The helmet and carrier fit perfectly. I recommend it.

    The backpack is exactly as it should be, after all Helikon never made, doesn't make, and probably will never make junk.

    This backpack made a positive impression on me, I think it will become my favorite. Helikon took care to include lots of pockets and compartments. Not too big, not too small. Haven't tested it outdoors yet, but I can recommend it blindly!!!
