I've had this backpack for just over a year. I've used it 5 times. The waterproof lining on the inside is already flaking away. It's a shame because the bag is great otherwise, but I expected way more durability for the price. It replaced a bag which lasted 20 years of heavy use in all conditions, some very extreme. I guess they used to make everything better...

This bag stands out for its interesting arrangement of compartments and easy access. However, I deducted one star because the side pockets are not elastic, which makes them difficult to use practically.

The actual capacity of the backpack is similar to the BRANDIT US COOPER 40 l backpack (https://militaria.pl/p/plecak-brandit-us-cooper-40-l-black-17230). This was checked by transferring items from the TEXAR to the BRANDIT. Therefore, the description regarding the capacity of the TEXAR backpack does not match its real capacity, assuming the capacity of the BRANDIT is correct.

The backpack is good, but not super good—it’s clear this isn’t a top-tier brand. On the plus side, you get good access to the main compartment and the side pockets are nice. The zippers snag on the material a bit, which doesn’t happen often but can be annoying. Overall, for this price, you can’t expect too much from it.

Large, yet lightweight backpack. A functional solution is the main compartment opening almost all the way down, which gives access to the gear at the bottom without having to take things out from the top. It looks really good in WZ93 camouflage, although of course that's a matter of taste.

I bought it recently so we’ll see after longer use, but the backpack is solid and spacious. It fits well on my back. I have a bigger build and a belly, but I was still able to adjust the hip belt, so it’s cool.

Generally, it’s a nice backpack with a non-aggressive, low-profile military look. The main advantage is the wide-opening main compartment, which gives access to gear at the very bottom. However, there are no side pockets to attach poles or other long equipment. The panel with velcro on the back pocket under the elastic band is pretty pointless, as it doesn’t allow for practical MOLLE attachments. On the bottom, the straps have only 10 cm of adjustment, so they’re only useful for compressing the backpack from below :( A big minus (minus two stars) for the incorrectly stated capacity, which is calculated based on fully stretched exterior dimensions. The actual capacity is about 40l (!) and not 57l. (Main compartment is 27x21x50=30l, back pocket 5l + top pocket 3l). Another minus is the zippers, which are quite exposed to water in case of sudden rain—they’re not splash proof, unfortunately, which means you’ll have to buy a rain cover. I have no idea what the designer had in mind with the organizer in the rear pocket—a plain velcro panel would’ve been better. Overall, the price is too high for the quality offered.

A very nice and solid backpack, made from good quality material. The compression option allows you to reduce or increase the cargo space. The hip and chest straps stabilize the whole thing well.

Large and solid backpack. Great for longer trips - you can comfortably pack even for a week. wz 93 camouflage is perfect and the low price makes it very attractive. A big plus for the large number of Molle - I added 2 pockets, a first aid kit, and a sleeping mat without any problem - the Velcro on the back allows for personalization.
