The product is of very good quality, although it's a bit heavier compared to other brands. It is used for all kinds of tasks, from EDC (everyday carry), to travel as carry-on luggage on airplanes, to day hikes in the mountains and outings to the forest. Spacious, durable, strong, but also has its own weight. During rain, it is very difficult for it to get soaked. A plus is the rubber bands on the straps which improve its aesthetics, allowing you to roll up and fasten the straps so they don't tangle. It's easy to attach additional equipment.
Wisport Sparrow II Backpack 30 l - Black
Enhanced version of the iconic Sparrow pack! Designed for survival and tactical operations, this compact 30-liter backpack is crafted from durable 500D Cordura in a sleek Black finish. Drawing inspiration from the widely recognized Raven model, the design has been re-engineered for demanding outdoor conditions.
durable Cordura construction
Crafted from rugged 500D Cordura, the construction ensures exceptional resistance to mechanical stress such as abrasion and tearing, greatly enhancing the backpack's longevity and reliability in demanding outdoor environments.
2 compartments, 5 pockets, hydration system
The Sparrow II backpack is equipped with two large compartments. In the primary compartment (27 l), four D-rings are integrated into the back panel for attaching additional gear. The secondary compartment features a modernized organizer designed for effective storage of smaller essentials. Mesh pockets with zippers are provided in the main compartment for added security. The flap includes a flat pocket, matching the size of the main compartment and about 5 cm deep, ideal for carrying maps, documents, or a compact laptop. A smaller pocket is situated on the front of the flap for quick-access items.
A hydration bladder hanger is located inside the bag, along with a port for a hydration tube and two loops—one on each shoulder strap—for stabilization.

Secured with a two-way zipper that extends along three sides of the flap, the backpack permits wide access to both the main and secondary compartments. Every zipper is high quality, wear-resistant, and features textile pulls for easy use with gloves or in challenging environments. Cover flaps shield the zippers of the main sections and the front pocket, minimizing the infiltration of water and debris.

I am the owner of a Reider 75L, so it couldn't have been anything other than another Wisport. The Sparrow II 30L is perfect for everyday use and, for example, two-day trips. It is very spacious, and the thoughtful design allows you to keep things organized. The quality of workmanship is always premium, both in terms of material, zippers, and buckles. This is a backpack for years - I recommend it.
-
The backpack survived 18 hours of tactical competitions with me in tough conditions and it wasn’t affected at all. It is very well made and well thought out. It’s easy to attach gear to it and it has comfortable straps.
-
In my opinion, this is one of the nicest and most versatile backpacks. It's well made and spacious, and you can easily attach things to it, so it's suitable both for the city and for longer outings.
-
How could you not recommend this backpack?! The quality of workmanship is top notch. The design and practicality are also great. I would say this backpack is more for a trip to the mountains or forest rather than for everyday use in the city, because for that it is a bit too big.
-
I really like backpacks from this company. Not only are they well-made, but they're also produced locally. The backpack is completely sufficient for everyday use, and you can easily pack it even for a weekend trip.
-
A backpack truly worth recommending in every respect. Aesthetic, full of possibilities thanks to the MOLLE/PALS straps, which allow you to attach pockets from different brands. Durable thanks to the Cordura material, which is virtually indestructible!
-
A backpack about which probably everything has already been written. Durable, with well-thought-out attachment systems and access to an internal organizer. Worth its price.
-
Backpack of very good quality. Numerous pockets, external straps, and material that is indestructible with normal use. A Polish company that deserves to be promoted!
-
The product performs its function well, I haven't noticed any durability issues, I use it 2-3 times a week. The capacity is appropriate, RAL 7013 color is a bit darker than in the offer photo, but that doesn't bother me.
-
I had to return one of the backpacks due to a manufacturing defect, the refund was quick and hassle-free. I bought another one and it's fine. I grew fond of this backpack model, it's comfortable to carry, the frame is a must-have.
-
Backpack of poor quality. After 3 months of normal use (nothing heavy, just gym clothes and a bottle of water) the buckle broke first, which was replaced under warranty. Then the seam on the strap gave way, and the warranty was denied, supposedly because the hole was my fault. Overall, I do not recommend it.
-
This is my second Wisport Sparrow 30. I bought it more out of curiosity to clarify something. In my first backpack, I noticed that the zipper in the main compartment on the back side is sewn with only a single stitch. I thought maybe it was a tailor's oversight? I didn't really abuse that backpack so the seam shouldn't have failed, but it bothered me. I bought another one, and it also has the same single stitching. Couldn't they have reinforced the seam with a double stitch? The backpacks themselves are fine, I took advantage of a promotion and got them. I hope the zippers won't be their Achilles' heel. I recommend the graphite color, it's really interesting.

I have this backpack and I always feel like I have a new backpack… when I counted, it turned out that I've had it as long as my youngest son, which is 10 years. The backpack is super spacious, the zippers are really sturdy – many times I thought they wouldn’t hold up or I couldn’t pack that much, but I was always wrong;D. Despite being 30 liters, it is excellently organized, which gives great possibilities. The strap system is a masterpiece, you can attach everything to the straps with buckles as well. That’s why I bought the same one for my oldest son without hesitation—I have no doubt it will work for him too.
-
The backpack is very well made. I just bought it but I already like it. Spacious thanks to its structured shape. Strong, thick zippers. After reading other reviews, I bought the back stiffener and it really improves wearing comfort. I like the wide and thick foam straps. The downside is that it's a bit heavy, probably because of the sewn-on MOLLE straps, which I don't really need, since I don't like to hang things on the outside of my backpack.
