I would point out two drawbacks. First, the bag is not waterproof. Water gets in through the zippers, causing the contents inside to get soaked or spill. Second, the shoulder strap rubs against clothing around the trapezius area. In my case, it ruined three shirts this way. Apart from that, packing it is very convenient. The bag really holds a lot and is highly durable.
Mil-Tec Assault Pack Small Backpack 20 l - Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A
Tactical backpack with a capacity of 20 liters. Made from tear-resistant polyester and additionally lined with an internal PVC layer to shield against moisture. It is suitable for tactical and survival applications, as well as everyday use.
Two compartments, pocket for hydration system
There are 2 large compartments closed with two-way zippers to carry basic gear. The zippers allow deep opening of the backpack and better access to the carried contents. Inside the compartments there are smaller dividers that guarantee efficient management of the carried items.
Other accessories can be stored in 2 front pockets. The upper one features a velcro panel for attaching patches and emblems. The lower, larger pocket is equipped with an organizer for small items. The backpack also has a hidden, Velcro-fastened pocket on the back for a hydration system. It can also be used to hide valuable gear.
MOLLE/PALS system
MOLLE/PALS-compatible straps are located on both the front and sides of the backpack, which allows you to conveniently cinch additional gear and increase capacity by attaching pockets or pouches.
Carrying system with hip belt, compression straps
Side compression straps allow the backpack to adjust to the contents being carried. Padded adjustable shoulder straps and the back of the backpack provide high user comfort even when carrying a lot of equipment. The ventilation channels placed in them improve air circulation. The 5 cm wide shoulder straps are equipped with useful D-rings. Even distribution of weight is enabled by an adjustable hip belt. At the top there is a handle for carrying in hand.
Phantomleaf camouflage
WASP I is an innovative line of PHANTOMLEAF® CIV-TEC® camouflage patterns designed specifically for MIL-TEC®. PHANTOMLEAF® camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes motion and other variables into account, so the patterns have good adaptive properties over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, PHANTOMLEAF® camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good identification of "friend or foe" within a group of soldiers on the battlefield or during an ASG game.
WASP I Z3A variant will perform well in a wide range of areas with high green vegetation, such as deciduous and coniferous forests or tropical jungles. It also maintains good camouflage properties in suburban and rural areas where green agricultural crops, scrub and grassy zones dominate. An innovative alternative to US Woodland or PenCott Wildwood camouflage.

I had previously owned model L from this series, so I was already familiar with the brand and its construction. I used it for the first time during a week-long trek. It turned out to be comfortable, and adjusting and releasing the shoulder strap worked without any problems, although the strap loosened with frequent putting on and taking off. Even in hot weather and during heavy sweating, it did not cause any skin chafing.

I bought it with short, one-day trips in mind. For this price, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the workmanship and the material. Another big plus is the chest strap — it wasn’t visible in the photos, and I hadn’t come across any mention of it in the reviews. However, I noticed two drawbacks: when fully loaded, the center of gravity shifts slightly backward, so it would be useful to have additional straps at the top on both sides to pull the backpack closer to the shoulders, and the zippers are not waterproof, although this can be partially solved with a rain cover. Despite these downsides, I believe the product is worth its price.

Very good, comfortable, and spacious. It is easy to organize things for a trip, and it is suitable for school because A4 books fit inside. It has space for carabiners and Velcro patches.
-
The product is made of solid materials and has a modern look. It is spacious enough to easily fit all the necessary items for a trip or a walk.

For this price, this tactical backpack is really solid and functional, excellent for short trips, for work, or as an emergency bag. I bought it to keep in the car as a rescue kit. The adjustment options and capacity are at a high level for this size and price. I am very satisfied with it. It has two spacious main compartments and two front pockets with many additional small mesh compartments for small items. The external loops on the straps work great. I was able to easily attach the Brandit Bottle Holder II and Helikon-Tex Water Canteen Pouch. There is a Velcro pocket on the back for a water bladder. The EVA foam in the back part provides comfort, although it’s a pity that there is no ventilation mesh. If you need a solid, durable, and inexpensive everyday backpack—especially as a kit for your car—this will be a very good choice.

The price of the backpack matches its quality – the straps regularly come undone, and one had to be replaced because it loosened and fell off during use. Sure, it's a small backpack, but the side straps are a joke – they're so short that you can't use them to attach a sleeping pad or sleeping bag. Making them a bit longer wouldn't have been any trouble. Overall, the backpack does its job, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
-
Simple, cheap, and solid. Very nice olive color. Spacious enough for smaller trips and everyday use. I was afraid it would be uncomfortable, but everything is fine.
-
Very solid backpack! It doesn't look big, but it fits a lot of things plus it's not heavy, and the adjustable straps further improve comfort and allow for good weight distribution. I recommend it.

The Mil-Tec Assault Pack Small 20L in Coyote color is a great choice for everyday use, trips, and outdoor activities. It is spacious, well-organized, and very comfortable to carry. Numerous pockets and the MOLLE system make it easy to arrange your gear and quickly access what you need. The material seems solid and durable, and the adjustable straps provide comfort even during prolonged use. The product matches the description, is well-made, and worth its price. I recommend it!
-
Great. The backpack has a very nice camouflage. For such a small capacity, it is quite roomy. I am a big guy, so it looks a bit funny on my back. I needed the backpack for everyday use and it works well. Lots of pockets for useful things.
-
I am delighted with this backpack! Although it's small and convenient for everyday carrying, it surprisingly fits a lot inside – I had no problem fitting a 2-liter bottle vertically without crushing the other items. The material seems durable, the stitching is strong, and the straps are comfortable even during long use. I really like the Urban Grey color. I am truly satisfied with this purchase!
-
Super. I bought the backpack for everyday use at work. Well made for this price range. The front pockets hold small useful items. For a 20l backpack, it's quite spacious. Nice camo color.
-
Comfortable, well-made backpack. I bought the 20L version and maybe it's missing those 5 liters, but still, it's sufficient for everyday use at work. It easily fits a transitional jacket or thick fleece, a large towel or meal-prep containers for work, a notebook, multitool, and several other small gadgets, a winter hat, and tactical gloves. With the use of MOLLE straps, you can easily expand it with a first aid kit or a compartment for a thermos. I recommend it.
-
A small, sturdy backpack with a 20-liter capacity is perfect for short trips or as an additional piece of luggage. It is comfortable to use, offers a lot of space, and seems durable. The transparent pockets are also a practical solution – I definitely recommend it both for everyday use and outdoor activities.
