So far, the backpack seems to be very durable and trustworthy. The arrangement of the pockets suits me very well, you can really fit a lot in it, although you have to be careful with the weight. The fit adjustment meets my expectations, and wearing the backpack is comfortable enough. However, with heavier loads I have the impression that the center of gravity is a bit too high—it's better to put heavier items at the very bottom. Features such as rain protection and easy access to the inside have been well designed. Now we just have to hope that its durability will last for a long time. However, at this price, it is definitely a product worthy of recommendation.

I think the material is quite thin, and the way it is designed and made is not very functional. The top pocket has a rain cover sewn in permanently, so it can't be used for other things. The cover can't be taken out, and the pocket can't be closed after using it. The lower tightening loops are too short, and the eyelets are not suitable for tightening, especially if you want to attach a sleeping mat underneath. The strap material is too soft and does not hold as well as a sturdy tape. Yes, the product is cheap, but it lacks thoughtful construction.

The backpack is very pleasant, you can feel that it's 88L. The divider inside allows you to separate your gear into heavier items (water, food, and other bits and pieces). But you can also use it for quick access to the most needed things thanks to the front zippered pocket. The only thing missing, which I will have to do myself, is to sew on some attachment points and a few loops/carabiners for a bigger chair. It has straps at the bottom, and I can easily attach a 3-person Quechua tent (3.6kg) there.

A large and solidly made backpack. This is not the first product from this company that I own and all of them have met my requirements. Perfect for scout camps for young survivalists.

With each subsequent product, I am increasingly convinced that Miltec is made for looking nice, not for practical use. I used the backpack once a year ago and the total equipment probably weighed around 20kg or maybe less, and under full load, it was no more than two hours of walking. Today, while checking my gear before the annual trip, it turned out that one of the straps is slightly torn. I didn't notice during use because it still stays in place, but a supposedly expedition-level backpack should allow for much more intensive use. As for the design, it's nice, thoughtful, and relatively comfortable, but the build quality is tragic. Loose threads sticking out here and there I can understand, given the price, but damage to such a crucial point as the strap after the first use absolutely disqualifies it. I categorically do not recommend this company. Everything from them breaks. Tools made from terrible quality steel, and clothes, although made from good-quality materials, are so sloppily sewn that this is yet another backpack that is falling apart for me still under warranty, and the rubberized poncho lets water through exactly because of the careless seams. Organizers or other equipment that is not heavily used may indeed be a good and cheap alternative, their fire strikers are great and cheap as chips, but avoid heavy-duty backpacks, bags, clothing, tents, and tools like the plague.

I have already used this backpack on a few trips and it did not disappoint me. In my opinion, the material quality is very good for this price, it's comfortable even with really heavy loads due to the numerous adjustments and fastenings, spacious, and the sewn-in rain cover is a plus. The only issue I noticed is that the internal frame is shaped like an inverted "U", and if you really abuse the backpack with heavy loads and carrying it in the trunk, this frame can bend (but it can easily be bent back to its original shape). Looking at the prices of backpacks in these capacities and what they can offer, I definitely don't regret this purchase and recommend it to others.

Great backpack for little money. 88 L – everything you need fits in there. Additional side flaps, and of course a sewn-in rain cover. On the waist strap, there are two extra pockets for handy little items that should be within reach.

Order fulfilled in 12 hours. The product looks and presents itself solidly. The main compartment is large, and the side pockets are also spacious. This is my first order and probably not my last. I recommend.
