This is my first Wisport backpack (although not my first product from this brand) and the opinions and photos were not lying. The look, quality of craftsmanship, and carefully thought-out pocket ergonomics are simply world-class! Additionally, it's a Polish company producing in Poland. 👍
Wisport Sparrow II Backpack 20 l - MultiCam
An updated edition of the bestselling Sparrow model! Designed as a compact military and survival backpack, it offers a 20 l capacity and is constructed from 500D Cordura in MultiCam camouflage. Inspired by the renowned urban Raven design, this pack has been optimized for demanding field operations.
Durable Cordura construction
Crafted from durable 500D Cordura, the construction ensures exceptional resistance to mechanical wear such as abrasion and tearing, greatly enhancing the backpack’s longevity in challenging environments.
2 compartments, 5 pockets, hydration system
The Sparrow II is designed with two large compartments. The primary 17 l compartment features four D-rings sewn onto the back panel, providing secure attachment points for accessories. In the secondary compartment, a modern organizer ensures efficient storage of small items. Within the main compartment, mesh pockets sealed with zippers offer additional organization. The lid incorporates a flat pocket matching the size of the main compartment at approximately 4 cm deep, suitable for carrying maps, documents, or a compact laptop. An additional small flat pocket is located at the front of the lid.
A hydration bladder hook is mounted inside the backpack, complemented by a hose port and two hose attachment points—one on each shoulder strap.
Main closure and protective flaps
The primary closure system utilizes a two-way zipper extending along three sides of the backpack's lid, enabling extensive access to the interior of both the main and secondary compartments. Every zipper is high-quality, wear-resistant, and is equipped with textile pullers to ensure effortless operation while wearing gloves or in challenging environments. The zippers on the primary compartments and front pocket are shielded by cover flaps, effectively guarding against the intrusion of water and debris.
Carrying system, compression straps, transport handle
The ACS – Air Comfort System frame delivers outstanding structural integrity, superior comfort during use, and efficient ventilation for the back. Enhanced convenience comes from quick-release, anatomically contoured, and fully adjustable shoulder straps, complemented by a chest strap. The interiors of the straps feature a dense, snag-resistant fabric.
On each side, the backpack is equipped with two adjustable compression straps fitted with fastex 30 mm buckles. Designed for capacity management, these straps also offer secure external attachment points for items such as a jacket, tarp, sleeping pad, or camouflage net. Positioned atop the main compartment, a broad and extended transport handle ensures easy handling.
MOLLE / PALS
MOLLE/PALS webbing is integrated on the front, bottom, and sides of the backpack, enabling the attachment of extra pouches or swiftly accessible gear for urgent needs.
Velcro panel
A velcro panel is positioned on the front of the backpack, allowing for the attachment of patches or emblems such as unit insignia, national flags, or morale patches.

MultiCam Camouflage
MultiCam represents an advanced camouflage pattern introduced in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision, developed in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior initiative. Designed for maximum versatility, MultiCam performs effectively across diverse terrains and fluctuating environmental conditions. The pattern incorporates seven distinct colors, forming subtle transitions between greens, browns, and beiges. This enables seamless adaptation to surroundings, displaying predominantly green hues within forests and shifting to browns and beiges in arid, desert environments—proving highly effective in Central and Eastern Europe, especially during the autumn season or in areas with dry vegetation. MultiCam has achieved global acclaim and is extensively used by military forces and special units worldwide. In 2010, the United States Army officially selected the pattern for use by its soldiers in Afghanistan, succeeding the former Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). Availability for civilian use has also made MultiCam a favored option among military enthusiasts and airsoft players alike.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
Fastex buckles are a popular type of fastener consisting of two parts that snap together, and pressing both sides of the buckle on the sides causes it to come undone. They are often used to fasten belts, backpack pockets and other items where fast and secure fastening and unfastening are crucial.
ACS (Air Comfort System) is a ventilated carrying system that improves comfort while wearing the backpack. The use of a wide ventilation channel and a wide back panel provides better air circulation between the backpack and the user's back, as well as adequate rigidity and stability.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
High-quality buckles and fasteners distinguished by their durability and reliability. Made of durable materials such as nylon or polyamide, used in products that require a solid and secure fastener, providing security and comfort.
Duraflex is a type of high-quality buckles, fasteners, snaps and accessories made from durable materials such as polyamide, acetal, as well as metals and metal alloys. They are resistant to weather conditions, UV radiation and mechanical damage. Duraflex products are used for fastening, connecting and adjustment in backpacks, bags, clothing and military equipment.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.

A really great backpack. I had the thirty-litre version, and that one was a bit too big for everyday use and therefore a bit baggy. The twenty-litre one works very well.
-
The olive color is beautiful, the backpack is sturdy, I stuffed it with whatever I had on hand so that it would take shape nicely after purchase. I was wondering whether to get the 20L or the 30L version, but now it doesn’t matter, because my next one will also be from Wisport.
-
The backpack made a very good first impression. It looks really well-made and durable. Very spacious, despite not being very large, and comfortable.
-
I needed an everyday bag, larger than the one I had before. I decided to give this model a try and bought it. I am satisfied with my choice – the bag is carefully made, has very well-designed pockets and straps, making it extremely practical. For me, it's a perfect choice, and I highly recommend it with a clear conscience.
-
The backpack served me for almost two years; I only switched to another model because the 20-liter version was just a bit too small for me. The backpack is indestructible and comfortable. A worthy companion for day trips or everyday carry. If 20 liters is enough for you and you don't need side pockets, for example for a water bottle, I would go for the Sparrow without hesitation, or consider the 30-liter version or the Sparrow 303, which unfortunately I haven't had a chance to test yet, but at first glance it seems ideal. - my main reason for changing companions was the lack of side pockets for a bottle.
-
I already have the Sparrow in the 16 and 30 versions, so I know these are solid backpacks. This time, I chose the 20 model because it makes great use of Easyjet's smaller hand luggage limit, and in addition, I can easily expand it thanks to the molle system and straps on the top and/or bottom. The backpack is very well made and has many compartments for small EDC items. The material is very durable, so it should last for years. The price is not low, but you have to pay for high quality.
-
The Wisport Sparrow II 20 l backpack combines a compact size with a durable construction. It's lightweight while also offering practical pockets for storing essentials. Solid materials and reinforced seams ensure long-lasting use. Ergonomic shoulder straps and the carrying system provide comfort, even when fully loaded.
-
Nice backpack, basically in every aspect. For me, the downside is the weight – made of good Cordura, so it has to weigh a bit, but for daily work it's a little heavy, especially at the end of the day. But the quality of workmanship is absolutely fine.
-
The backpack turned out to be brilliant, a backpack that is spacious, comfortable and of course durable. As always, the Polish company Wisport rose to the challenge. Every function was carefully thought out, especially compared to the first version of the backpack. I recommend it to everyone, great product.
-
I bought the backpack in July 2021. It has been used intensively, almost every day. Great backpack. During washing, the molle straps got a bit damaged. For the next washes, I used a protective lining. I see that the price has increased significantly – 4 years ago it cost 299 PLN.
-
Very high-quality workmanship, lots of different pockets, and a comfortable thick foam on the straps. The material feels very durable, the price is high but the quality is absolutely adequate.
-
Wisport Sparrow 20L, a true classic. The backpack is almost perfect. Superb quality of workmanship. Polish product. Backpack for EDC, school, etc. Proven by many users. I recommend it.
-
It is practically a faithful copy of the Sparrow 30, but smaller :) which makes it great for everyday use, because 30 liters is quite large and if you don't fill it up, it gets a bit floppy. Honestly recommend it as an EDC backpack.
-
Solid, well-designed gear. It works both for everyday use and for outings in the field. Very durable material, resistant to abrasion and moisture, gives a sense of reliability. 20 liters capacity, well-thought-out pocket layout. You can conveniently organize your gear, and the MOLLE system allows for easy expansion. The backpack is comfortable even during long wear – well-profiled straps and a stiffened back ensure comfort and stability. Suitable for anyone who needs a durable and functional backpack without unnecessary frills. Wisport delivered, as always – I recommend it.
