An enhanced version of the popular Sparrow series! Featuring a compact survival and tactical backpack with a 40 L capacity, crafted from 500D Cordura and finished in MAPA camouflage. Drawing inspiration from the renowned urban Raven pack, the construction has been optimized for demanding field operations.
Featuring a construction from rugged 500D Cordura, the backpack offers exceptional resistance to mechanical wear, including abrasion and tearing, greatly enhancing its longevity and performance in demanding outdoor environments.
The Sparrow II backpack is equipped with two roomy compartments. The main compartment features four D-rings securely stitched onto the back panel, perfect for attaching additional gear. The secondary compartment offers a modernized organizer designed to keep smaller items orderly. Zippered mesh pockets can be found inside the main compartment for added organization. The flap contains a flat pocket matching the main compartment’s dimensions and measuring approximately 5 cm in thickness, making it ideal for storing maps, documents, or a compact laptop. An extra small pocket is located on the front of the flap for quick-access items.
Within the pack, a hydration bladder hanger, a drinking tube port, and two loops (one on each shoulder strap) provide reliable support and management for hydration systems.
Secured by a two-way zipper running along three sides of the flap, the backpack provides wide access to both the main and secondary compartments. Every zipper is high quality, wear-resistant, and features textile pulls for reliable operation with gloves or under demanding conditions. Cover flaps shield the zippers of the main compartments and front pocket, minimizing the risk of water and dirt entering.
The AFS - Air Flow System carrying system provides exceptional structural stability, superior carrying comfort, and efficient back air circulation. Enhanced comfort comes from ergonomic, quick-release shoulder straps with adjustable length, as well as a chest and waist belt. The inner side of these straps features a dense, snag-resistant fabric. At the rear, a dedicated tunnel securely accommodates a compatible fiberglass frame (sold separately).
On each side panel, two adjustable straps with 30 mm fastex buckles offer reliable compression and allow for secure attachment of essentials such as a jacket, tarp, sleeping mat, or camouflage net. Positioned atop the main compartment, a large and robust carry handle ensures easy transportation.
MOLLE/PALS webbing is integrated on the front, bottom, and sides, providing attachment points for extra gear or carrying critical items needed in urgent situations.
A Velcro panel positioned on the front is designed for securing patches or emblems, including unit insignia, national flags, or morale patches.
Equipped with a durable rain cover, the backpack ensures reliable protection for both the pack and its contents against moisture. Designed for use in heavy rain and tough outdoor environments, the cover safeguards gear from getting wet.
The MAPA camouflage pattern was created by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and current researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, also known for his work, including Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdańsk 2015). Thanks to its innovative concept, which draws on strong theoretical foundations and extensive experimental research—including computer analysis of thousands of terrain photos—MAPA attracted recognition from experts and manufacturers of military apparel. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage was introduced at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as the camouflage for the Dromader system of equipment and uniforms by Maskpol, a company within the Polish Armaments Group. Developed for the Territorial Defense Army, the MAPA camouflage was also considered a potential replacement for the wz.93 pattern across the entire Polish Armed Forces. However, MAPA has not yet been officially adopted as a standard camouflage by the Polish Army.
The main features of MAPA camouflage in the basic forest version
- 6 colors forming distinct layers reminiscent of topographic map contours
- colors specifically tailored for Central European forest environments
- application of three-dimensional illusions and anamorphic effects
- biomorphic forms that mirror natural vegetation
- high-contrast components simulating light reflections and shadow play
- disruption of the outlined silhouette using a macro pattern
- color noise generated with a refined micro pattern
The MAPA pattern presents a notable alternative among leading modern camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, or Finnish M/05. In certain aspects, its design surpasses those patterns, providing a superior match to the color palette typical of Central European forests from late spring through early autumn.
