I am very disappointed with this backpack, which seems to be not very durable. There are a lot of stitches and most of them seem poorly sewn, but the biggest problem turned out to be the zipper, which broke already on the first use. Even though I have used many different backpacks and this one was not expensive, it did not earn my trust. I am waiting for a product replacement and maybe then I will change my opinion. For now, I cannot recommend this backpack.

The backpack is very durable and has a large capacity. 65 liters works great during longer trips and various outdoor activities. The compartments are arranged in a practical way, and the comfort of wearing remains even with a heavy load. The materials used are sturdy, and the workmanship inspires confidence. The price is attractive in relation to the quality.

The German GEN.II Large backpack is fine for this price, however, I am only giving it 3 stars. The back support could be a bit more rigid. Additionally, the straps on the top flap are too short to attach my Defence 4 on top.
-
Very spacious and comfortable. Despite my short stature, it fits well on my back. Additional straps allow you to adjust its position, yet it doesn't dig into the shoulders or hips. The waterproof cover attached to it is just another plus.

A sturdy and very spacious backpack. Perfect value for the price. The molle system allows for versatile use. Thanks to the hip belts, it's suitable for longer trips. I recommend it.

Great backpack, worked well for the Military Mountain Badge. Solid and comfortable. I recommend it. The back is not particularly stiff but it does the job. There are many adjustment options and the wide hip belt is very useful.

I have a Mil-tec 36L backpack, but for a weekend mountain trip it's a bit too small, so I bought this model. It worked great, the side pockets are very useful, as is the option to attach various accessories like a sleeping mat or tent to the backpack. I can definitely recommend it!

Very large and spacious. Comfortable to carry even with heavy loads. A great option for those looking for a big backpack at a low price. I recommend trying it.
