The backpack made a very good first impression. It looks really well-made and durable. Very spacious, despite not being very large, and comfortable.
Wisport Sparrow II Backpack 20 l - RAL 6003
The upgraded edition of the renowned Sparrow model! This rugged, compact survival and tactical backpack features a 20 l capacity and is crafted from 500D Cordura in RAL 6003. Inspired by the popular urban Raven, its construction has been optimized for demanding outdoor operations.
Durable Cordura construction
Crafted from robust 500D Cordura, the construction provides 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 features two large compartments. Within the main 17 l compartment, four D-rings are integrated into the back panel to secure additional gear. The secondary compartment is outfitted with a modernized organizer designed to keep small items systematically arranged. Mesh pockets inside the main section are equipped with zippered closures. The lid is fitted with a flat pocket that matches the size of the main compartment and offers a depth of about 4 cm, ideal for storing maps, documents, or a compact laptop. An extra small flat pocket is positioned on the front of the lid.
A hydration bladder hook is situated inside the backpack, along with a hose port and two hose attachment points—one on each shoulder strap.
Main closure and protective flaps
A two-way zipper serves as the main closure of the backpack, extending along three sides of the lid to ensure generous access to the interior of both the main and secondary compartments. All zippers are crafted to be high-quality and wear-resistant, equipped with textile pullers for convenient operation when wearing gloves or in challenging conditions. The main compartments and front pocket zippers are shielded by protective flaps, offering additional defense against water and debris.
Carrying system, compression straps, transport handle
The ACS – Air Comfort System suspension system delivers optimal structural stability, outstanding wearing comfort, and efficient back ventilation. Additional comfort is provided by anatomically contoured, quick-release, and adjustable shoulder straps along with a chest strap. Strap interiors are crafted from dense, snag-resistant fabric.
On each side of the backpack, there are two adjustable compression straps equipped with 30 mm fastex buckles. These enable volume customization and secure external equipment such as a jacket, tarp, sleeping mat, or camouflage net. At the top of the main compartment, a broad and lengthy carry handle ensures easy transport.
MOLLE / PALS
MOLLE/PALS webbing is positioned on the front, bottom, and sides of the backpack, allowing for quick attachment of extra pouches or gear that must be accessed with urgent need.
Velcro panel
Located on the front of the backpack, a velcro panel enables easy attachment of patches or emblems, including national flags, unit badges, or morale patches.
Manufacturer's warranty
A 5-year manufacturer's warranty backs the backpack.

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 buckles are a type of high-quality buckles and fasteners made of durable materials such as polyamide or polypropylene. They are weatherproof, UV-resistant and resistant to mechanical damage.

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.
-
Worth its price! Very sleek appearance combined with functionality. Well made, lots of adjustment options, a very well-thought-out layout of pockets and compartments. I recommend it!
-
A universal backpack for a one-day trip to the countryside and the city or for everyday work. Sparrow 20 serves as a substitute for the Sparrow 30 when I need something smaller. Additionally, the backpack can be expanded with dedicated side pockets or other pouches in the molle system.
-
I already have the Sparrow 30 backpack but was looking for something smaller for work and this one fits very well. The Sparrow 20 has comfortable straps and can hold drinks, food, and my everyday essentials, plus a small speaker with headphones also fits. It's good to bundle up the hanging strings with elastic cords; there are already 4 on the backpack, but I recommend buying a set of 5 extra for a few złoty, and nothing will get tangled.
