After six months of using this backpack, mainly in urban conditions but also occasionally during trips, I can say that it looks good on the outside and is made of durable material. It is spacious and allows you to attach patches with Velcro, which is an advantage. Unfortunately, the positives end there, as the disadvantages prevail. The biggest downside is the lack of internal pockets. I switched to this model after several years of using a backpack from another brand, which had plenty of pockets for various small items. In this case, we only have one large and one medium compartment, so you can’t store, for example, headphones separately so they won’t get scratched by keys. Everything ends up in one big compartment, which makes it hard to find small things and keep order. Additionally, when you try to put in a larger item, the divider folds up and you don’t know where the item actually ends up. Another downside is the main compartment zipper—it often gets stuck because the material goes under the zipper, so opening it requires a lot of patience or force. Over time, the problem gets worse. At this price, it’s a big minus. The patches for Velcro usually have military designs and it is hard to find the right size, so you have to search a lot to find something appropriate and not look like a soldier from Afghanistan. The carrying system is rather soft and average, but it works. After half a year of use, a plastic part broke and became sharp—fortunately, it didn’t damage my skin or clothes.

The backpack is just right for what I use it for, it's exactly ideal for that. The material is good and durable, with compartments of the right size for my documents, traveling, commuting to work—it works perfectly. I recommend always making a well-considered decision about what you want to use it for. It's a quality product worth recommending.

I bought it (not from militaria) and returned it. Why? I'm right-handed and sometimes I carry the backpack only on my right shoulder, hold it with my right hand, and reach inside with my left. Here, the pocket with the vertical zipper ends up on the bottom in that situation. Yes, I understand that it's designed for people who carry weapons and need to draw them with their right hand. But what percentage of users carry CCW??? That's why I returned it. Aside from this flaw, the backpack is very good.

The backpack is definitely more suited for the so-called city rather than the forest. Very well made. The arrangement of pockets and straps to attach various necessary accessories is well thought out. I recommend it, although I personally returned it because I was looking for something a bit bigger.

Decently made, but.... Little space, the laptop barely fits, few pockets, overall not very functional. In total, I ordered 10 backpacks from this store and none met my expectations.

My predecessor wrote about the zippers—he's right, but for me the biggest problem is the carrying system. If you fill the backpack to the max, the straps (the soft part) are too short, at least for me, so it's less comfortable, and that's why 4 stars. Otherwise, the look, material, and workmanship are flawless (though a few more molle straps would be useful).

Product as described. The backpack is less military-style than the rest from WISPORT. Less overcomplicated, a typical city bag. For me, it's ideal for the city or for one-day trips. Excellent quality, price appropriate. Highly recommend!!!

The backpack, as with Wisport, is very well made but the zippers are poor. They're hard to operate and get jammed under the flap that's supposed to theoretically protect them.
