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 - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
Upgraded from the top-selling Sparrow edition, this compact tactical and survival backpack features a 20-liter capacity and is crafted from 500D Cordura in the wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage. Drawing inspiration from the well-known urban Raven model, the pack has been tailored to endure rigorous field operations.
Durable Cordura construction
Crafted from robust 500D Cordura, the construction ensures exceptional resistance to mechanical wear, including abrasion and tearing. Superior durability is achieved, making the backpack highly reliable in challenging environments.
2 compartments, 5 pockets, hydration system
The Sparrow II backpack features two large compartments. The main compartment, with a capacity of 17 liters, includes four D-rings sewn onto the back wall for accessory attachment. The secondary compartment is equipped with an enhanced organizer designed for convenient storage of smaller gear. Inside the main compartment, mesh pockets secured with zippers provide additional organization. The flap is outfitted with a flat pocket, matching the size of the main compartment and approximately 4 cm deep, ideal for carrying maps, documents, or a compact laptop. An extra small pocket is positioned at the front of the flap.
Within the pack, a hook for a hydration bladder, an access port for a hydration tube, and two mounting loops (located on each shoulder strap) are supplied for easy attachment.
Main fastening, protective strips
The primary closure system of the backpack utilizes a two-way zipper extending along three sides of the flap, providing wide, unobstructed access to the interior of both the main and secondary compartments. Every zipper featured on the backpack is durable, high-quality, and resistant to wear, fitted with textile pulls to ensure effortless opening, even when wearing gloves or operating in challenging outdoor conditions. Additionally, flap strips safeguard the zippers of the main compartments and front pocket, reducing the risk of water and dirt infiltration.
Carrying system, compression straps, transport handle
The ACS – Air Comfort System suspension system provides excellent structural stability, superior comfort while carrying, and efficient ventilation for the back. Enhanced comfort is provided by anatomically contoured, adjustable shoulder straps with quick-release functionality as well as a chest strap. The inner surfaces of the straps are constructed from dense, snag-resistant material.
On each side of the pack, two adjustable straps equipped with 30 mm fastex buckles are featured. These allow users to compress the backpack or reliably secure external gear, including jackets, tarps, sleeping pads, or camouflage netting. The main compartment is fitted with a wide, elongated transport handle at the top, significantly facilitating carrying and handling.
MOLLE / PALS
Featuring MOLLE/PALS webbing on the front, bottom, and sides, the backpack enables attachment of extra pouches or gear that demands immediate access.
Velcro panel
A Velcro panel positioned on the front of the backpack provides a secure area for attaching patches or emblems, including national flags, unit insignia, or Morale Patches.

Camouflage wz.93 "Pantera"
The wz.93 "Pantera" camouflage pattern remains the standard used by the Polish Armed Forces. As the first camouflage design created and widely implemented during the era of the Third Polish Republic, the 1993 pattern features a mix of mimetic and disruptive capabilities achieved through irregularly shaped spots in varying sizes. A color palette consisting of green, brown, and black has been specifically tailored to complement the environment of Polish woodlands, making "Pantera" highly effective for missions conducted in local terrain. Military Uniform Class students also utilize uniforms in this pattern as part of their essential gear.

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.
