This is a very good and functional backpack — I was pleasantly surprised by its light weight, solid workmanship, and exceptionally good value for money. It is all the more disappointing that I have to return it, because at my height of 170 cm it turns out to be too large. After fastening the hip belt, the shoulder straps sit a few centimeters above my shoulders. It will most likely work better for taller people.

Highlander Forces Eagle 3 Backpack 40 l - Ranger Green
Backpack in Ranger Green color with a capacity of 40 liters, made of lightweight and durable 600D polyester with a PU coating. Spacious main compartment, additional pockets, and mounting points allow for an organized arrangement of gear. Adjustable carrying system enables the backpack to be fitted to the user's silhouette, enhancing comfort during long hours of hiking. It is designed with field trips, trekking in mind.
durable 600D polyester, PU coating
The backpack is made of 600D polyester characterized by very good resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage. The dense weave of the fabric increases its durability and limits susceptibility to tears during intense use. The material is additionally covered with a PU coating, which facilitates cleaning and limits moisture absorption, which is important when using the backpack in changing weather conditions and in the field.
main compartment with zipper closure, pocket for hydration insert
Inside the main compartment, there are two large mesh pockets, a spot for a hydration insert, and a detachable organizer for small items. Access to the compartment is possible via a U-shaped zipper, which allows the backpack to be opened up and makes it easier to access the contents. At the bottom of the backpack, there is a zipper-closed flap enabling access to items located at the bottom.
The model is equipped with two large front pockets with zipper closures, an open pocket for a map, and two side pockets, e.g., for water bottles.
MOLLE/PALS system straps, D-rings, compression straps
For attaching additional items, MOLLE/PALS system straps, D-rings, and compression straps are located on the front of the backpack.
adjustable shoulder straps with a hip belt, chest strap, Airmesh cushions
The carrying system consists of soft adjustable shoulder straps with a chest strap and a wide hip belt (with additional pockets), which allows for the even distribution of weight when moving in challenging terrain. Ergonomic Airmesh cushions ensure air circulation on the back.
Velcro panel
The backpack is equipped with a Velcro panel allowing any patch or insignia, e.g., a national flag, unit emblem, or so-called Morale Patches, to be attached, giving the backpack an individual character.

AirMesh
AirMesh is a ventilated carrying system used in backpack construction to enhance carrying comfort. This system uses contoured, breathable foam with an open channel structure. The foam is placed on the back panel, shoulder straps and waist belt. Combined with a wide ventilation channel, this ensures adequate air circulation and effective removal of accumulated moisture from sensitive areas.
System MOLLE
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS system
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.

A very solid backpack, but the appearance is slightly different from older versions. The 'H' emblem has been changed to 'fhior', suggesting a rebranding of the brand. Apart from the new icon, the functionality and durability remain at a high level.

Hello. As usual, Militaria sends goods very quickly and that's a big plus. There's only one 'but' for which I gave 4 stars. This is not the backpack described on the website - Highlander Forces Eagle 3, but Fhior, as indicated by the embroidered inscription. The website shows the manufacturer's designation as the letter 'H.' I won't return it because the backpack is fine and it seems to be an exact copy of the Forces Eagle 3, but still, something wasn't right here. One of the reviewers mentioned this, who exchanged his backpack at the store for the one with the 'H' letter. His was poorly sewn, but so far I haven't noticed any flaws on mine. In conclusion, the backpack is very functional, has a large number of compartments and pockets. It fits well on the back; I am 189 cm tall and this size is perfect. Regards.

Great backpack if you get a good piece, because the quality of sewing depends on the piece and whether it has the H logo or a tactical inscription, which unfortunately I had in my case. I bought the one with the H letter in a stationary store after returning the one with another inscription because it had protruding threads and badly connected seams. I still rate this backpack well because it is spacious and recommend it for people around 185 cm tall, as you can adjust it properly thanks to the strap adjustments. The foam on the back is a nice solution and a plus because it fits well, although the straps are stiffer than other backpacks I own. After adjusting it for myself, I have no problems so far, so my rating is 4 stars, because if I had to rate the delivered backpack, it would get 1 star. A plus was that it was available in the stationary store and I could see the quality difference before buying. The compression straps are nicely made thanks to the Velcro ends (you roll and fasten the Velcro around the strap). Access to the main compartment in two different ways is amazing for this price. The pockets on the flap are super well designed and close with a zipper, so when you open the whole compartment, nothing falls out, although the only pocket that could fall out is the external one at the front made of elastic material, the same as the side pockets for example for water, thermos, or bottle. The bottom pocket opens with a zipper and a drawstring at the end, which helps create another 3rd access point to the main compartment from the bottom. So there are 3 entries: 1. Main top access, 2. Side (with an extra pocket on the other side), and 3. Bottom access. I recommend the backpack, but I recommend checking the seams and making sure there are no protruding threads.

The trekking and survival backpack from Highlander is very functional and solidly made with strong, high-quality workmanship. It works well in urban, mountain, or survival environments. It fulfills its role in sports themes or team games, e.g., gym training. 😊✊ I recommend it. 👌🛠️

Spacious and comfortable backpack. The perfect solution for a trip outdoors. The number of pockets and compartments allows you to fit everything you need without making a mess. Easy to open the backpack even with one hand.

A brilliant backpack for trips, the best in this price category. Very spacious, with lots of pockets that are easy to access. Top-quality material, very durable, strong stitching.

Backpack tested for two weeks in the Beskid Mountains. Really a solid job. Above all, very comfortably profiled (at least for my back). The concept of access to the interior with a wide-opening flap with zippers is brilliant - you get access to almost everything immediately. I only hope that the zippers are of good quality. Big plus also for the ability to manage loose straps after tightening and adjustment. The side pockets are deep and flexible, allowing you to comfortably store bottles or other items. The hip belt pockets could be slightly larger. To be perfect, it only lacks a rain cover included. Overall, I highly recommend it.

A truly budget backpack and still very comfortable and well-thought-out in its design. Overall, you get what you pay for, the description is accurate and the photos reflect the real appearance.

The backpack is very sturdy and spacious, with a good solution for rear access to things at the bottom of the pack. Very comfortable shoulder straps that do not restrict movement and do not dig into the body.

A very practical backpack for typical multi-day mountain trips, it holds everything you need to survive in the wild. Comfortable shoulder straps that do not restrict movement.

Backpack with large capacity, fits well on the back, just right for one-day trips. The pockets on the belt could be bigger, a phone doesn't fit. The mesh pockets are stretchable and spacious, the Velcro compression straps are great because they don't dangle when tightened, which is a plus. I think for this price the backpack will serve well, the zippers are of good quality.
