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.
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.
main zipper, protective flaps
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.
carrying system, compression straps, transport handle
The SAS - Semi Adjustable System Ergonomic Military carry system provides enhanced structural stability, superior carrying comfort, and optimal back ventilation. Additional comfort is delivered through quick-release, length-adjustable ergonomic shoulder straps, complemented by a chest belt and waist belt. The strap interiors utilize a dense, snag-resistant fabric. A designated tunnel on the back accommodates a compatible fiberglass frame (frame not included).
Both side panels feature two adjustable straps equipped with 30 mm fastex buckles for compression purposes and for securely fastening items such as jackets, tarps, sleeping pads, or camouflage nets. The main compartment is topped with a large, robust transport handle to facilitate easy handling.
MOLLE / PALS
MOLLE/PALS webbing is integrated on the front, bottom, and sides to allow attachment of extra gear or to carry critical items needed in situations of immediate necessity.

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.
-
Opinion after about 8 years of use. The backpack has been used practically every day for work and mountain trips. The product is indestructible, I don't spare it, about once a year it ends up in the washing machine, and the only signs of use are that the color is slightly faded and recently the zipper got a bit loose, but tightening it with pliers helped. On the downside, the hip belt was terribly narrow—I had to replace it with another one—and for me, the frame is essential because without it, it's really soft.
-
The previous backpack has been retired, so it was time to buy a new one and I decided on this one. After several months of use, it works very well. The two compartments are really handy. So far, I am very satisfied.
-
The backpack is amazing. Wisport really made it solidly. It has very comfortable straps, and even if you pack a lot into it, your shoulders don't hurt. The pocket layout is very well thought out, and the main compartment has an additional option to secure the contents to the back with straps.
-
In my opinion, this is one of the nicest and most versatile backpacks. It's excellently made and spacious; you can also easily attach things to it, making it suitable both for the city and for longer trips.
-
For me, the perfect backpack. Not too big. Great carrying system. No back pain after two days with loads for two people. Very big possibilities for expanding the space with additional pockets and other types of inserts to attach with MOLLE straps. It's a pity that not even one pocket has the VIS mounting system so popular in products from another Polish brand, Helikon. I don't regret the purchase. Mountain trips with it are a pleasure, even though it is not a typical mountain backpack.
