The backpack is really well made, even though it doesn't look like it at first glance. Unfortunately, for me, it is a bit too big. When I bought it, it was written that it had 30 liters, now it has been changed to 38 liters. The backpack is spacious and sturdy, but too big for everyday use.
Helikon-Tex Traveler Backpack 38 l - Shadow Grey
A compact backpack with a capacity of 38 liters, made of durable and damage-resistant 500D Cordura with a DWR coating, and equipped with YKK zippers and sturdy Woojin Plastic buckles.
The model features two spacious compartments, accessible via two-way zippers. Loops at the ends allow for easy operation even while wearing gloves.
Numerous pockets, thoughtful interior organization
The compartment located closer to the back features a flat pocket that can hold a laptop with a screen size of up to 15.6 inches, as well as a compartment for storing cards or documents. A large Velcro strap allows you to attach organizers compatible with the VIS (Versatile Insert System) and configure the space according to your individual needs.
The front compartment is equipped with a panel with compartments for small items or pens, as well as mesh pockets with zippers. The set includes a travel organizer with three mesh pockets (with zippers), which allows you to conveniently sort your gear and prevents it from shifting during travel. The organizer is secured in the compartment using clips.
Additionally, the model features two zippered front pockets and two open side pockets, which allow you to carry items such as a water bottle, a thermos, or a beverage bottle.
Adjustable straps, carrying handle
The carrying system consists of adjustable shoulder straps, which allow the backpack to be perfectly tailored to the user's body. Soft back panels ensure a high level of comfort during use. A practical carrying handle makes it easy to carry and lift the backpack.

The backpack worked great both during travel, for everyday city use, and on short trips. Its 38-liter capacity is a good compromise – it’s not too large, but you can easily fit clothes, electronic equipment, and other small items. The thoughtfully designed opening of the main compartment makes access easier, which I especially appreciate when traveling. The material is sturdy, keeps its shape well, and the zippers and other elements seem durable. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and even with a standard load, carrying the backpack is comfortable. The Shadow Grey color is understated and matches everything. The only minor downside is that when it's fully packed, slightly stiffer back padding would provide better support.

My first impression is that it’s a huge backpack. I watched reviews of this backpack but didn’t realize how big it really is. I intended to use it for work, but it’s actually a bit too large for that. It’ll be good for traveling though, and it’s well described. It’s a really sturdy and spacious backpack, with nice features, I like everything about it. Inside, there’s an organizer, lots of zippers and pouches for small items, organizers, space for a laptop or tablet, or a water bladder, and spots for hook-and-loop attachable organizers. The back is stiffened, and it fits well on my back. The straps, in my opinion, are just average—nothing special, no chest buckle, and they’re oddly stiff, but during use they seem ok; I’ll need to test them longer. I was tempted by a promotion, because the regular price would be too much for me.

The product matches the description. The backpack does not attract attention from the outside. Unfortunately, it seems quite delicate, so I am very curious how long it will last during traveling.

Literally the most thoughtfully designed hiking backpack I have ever come across, for me it is perfect in every respect. I highly recommend it to everyone because it is worth the investment.

Great backpack. Well thought out. No unnecessary gadgets sewn all around. Made flawlessly. So far it works well for everyday use as well as for short trips. The only downside for me is the mesh insert. Too big for toiletries, too small for clothes. Yes, I know it has pockets, but try using them. In my opinion, it's unnecessary and just increases the purchase cost of the backpack. The backpack itself is excellent.
