The backpack is lightweight yet very durable and spacious. The frame and suspended mesh improve carrying comfort. I took a long "butt slide" in the mountains with it—there’s no trace of damage, nothing got torn, nothing broke. I can compare the backpack to British military surplus backpacks. It’s just as strong and roomy but lighter. The rain cover is a plus. Despite snow and rain (I forgot to take out the cover), everything inside stayed dry. You can attach additional pockets on the sides, for example, from the Wisport Raccoon 85L backpack. My unit had no loose threads. I'm satisfied with it and recommend it for both short and long mountain trips.
Wisport Raccoon 45 l Backpack Black
Military backpack featuring a 45-liter capacity in black. Constructed from highly durable and tear-resistant Cordura fabric. Engineered by Wisport, a company based in Wrocław, in collaboration with commandos from the 1st Special Regiment in Lubliniec. Inspired by the renowned Raccoon series with 65 and 85-liter options, this model strikes a balance between storage space and overall gear weight.
Adjustable FAS carrying system
Constructed with an aluminum frame, the backpack incorporates a FAS Plus Ergonomic adjustable carrying system, allowing precise customization to fit the user’s build and height. The hip and chest belts are both wide, soft, and fully adjustable, and come equipped with certified ITW NEXUS and Duraflex buckles. This integrated system guarantees outstanding rigidity and allows for comfortable transport of heavy gear. Enhanced spacer mesh boosts ventilation along the back panel for optimal airflow.
Spacious main compartment and additional pockets
The primary compartment is internally divided by a collar, separating the space into a lower section occupying 1/3 of the capacity and an upper section comprising 2/3. A detachable flap at the base offers access to items stored at the bottom. The top flap is secured using Fastex buckles, and a Velcro panel on the front enables the attachment of patches. For additional packing needs, the backpack features a chimney with an adjustable drawstring, providing the option to expand its overall capacity.
MOLLE/PALS system and external straps
The backpack features a MOLLE/PALS system, enabling the integration of extra pouches and accessories for enhanced modularity. External straps with buckles offer versatile options for securing additional gear such as a sleeping pad or sleeping bag, while also providing effective compression to stabilize contents and reduce shifting. Bar-tacked stitching reinforces the seams for improved durability and resistance to wear.
elastic side pockets and carry handles
Located on the sides of the backpack, elastic side pockets provide convenient storage for a water bottle or thermos. The reverse side features additional side carry handles, sewn in to facilitate comfortable hand carrying of the pack.
Pocket for hydration insert and rain cover
A dedicated compartment for a hydration reservoir (Camelbak) is integrated into the backpack. The opening for routing the tube is specially secured to prevent water from leaking inside along the hose. Plastic clips on the shoulder straps ensure the tube remains firmly in place. Included with the backpack is a rain cover, offering protection against adverse weather conditions.

The backpack works great for weekend trips. It's very comfortable to wear, and I'm a tall person. Thanks to the adjustable harness system, you can customize it to your needs. Spacious, and thanks to a separate compartment, you can easily sort your equipment. Big plus for a simple thing like a hydration bladder loop.

For me, the perfect backpack, its configurability is exactly what I needed, build quality without the slightest reservations, very comfortable to wear, definitely worth its price.
-
I was considering between this backpack and another one from Wisport and finally chose the other one because of a different opening system, but the Raccoon lacks nothing. Great backpack, very spacious.
-
Wow, product 5/5, I didn't think it was possible to create such a good backpack. The comfort of wearing it is out of this world, over 20k steps on a trip and my slightly crooked back didn't hurt at all (where with other backpacks it usually hurts) - great purchase, I recommend it!
-
Nice backpack, in my opinion definitely larger than the declared 45L, as it fits more than the 55L Crafter. It has unusual bottle pockets on the sides. The downside is the small lid, which is hard to open when the backpack is full.
-
This is my second backpack from Wisport (the first was the Wildcat 65l for longer camps). This Raccoon is for shorter trips of 2-3 days. 45 liters is more than enough and it's much lighter. If needed, the side pockets from the bigger backpack fit and can increase the capacity (same style, color, material, etc). What is a bit lacking are some small external pockets for documents, a flashlight, etc. Handy ones, where you can quickly access small stuff during a short trip - but you can always buy some small cargo pouch and attach it with the molle system.
-
Very, very good backpack, the frame is incredibly well made. I am a person who has back problems and my back always hurt during hitchhiking trips. This backpack is absolutely great, my back doesn't hurt at all, the hip belt and adjustment options do a great job.
-
Very high quality product. Cordura 1000 is a durable material. I hope the backpack will serve me for many years. A product worth recommending. The backpack itself is also cleverly made, it has a carrying belt and a system that allows you to quench your thirst during a hike. The FAS system allows you to adjust the backpack to your own needs.
-
Great backpack, lots of space to attach extra gear. Great carrying system, I hope it will perform well under heavy loads (I haven't tested everything yet). Very strong cordura. Simply money well spent, plus a Polish product!!!

Hello, I use the following Wisport backpacks: Canyon, Sparrow, Sherpa, which was the first one I bought. And I'm super satisfied with it. As with all of them. I still have each of them, even though the first one is 18 years old. I also have a lot of clothing items like very good socks, both winter and summer, pouches, and extra straps, which you can easily order there. It's a great company with excellent products. POLAND. And let it stay that way.

Great product, Polish. Solid, practical, strong, and well thought out. This capacity works everywhere. You can easily pack for 4-5 days. Lots of options to strap on the necessary gear. There's no way you won't fit everything. Highly recommend!
-
Pending receipt of the product. So far everything is correct. The store works very well and answers any questions. The backpack has a proven quality.
-
After three years of using the backpack, I have to say it was a great choice. Perfect for camping, hiking, or shopping at Lidl. Very well made, nothing wears out, easy to clean. I will definitely buy something smaller from Wisport because I'm extremely satisfied. I recommend it.

Slim shape, fits within the width of a person, does not stick out much from the back
