Wisport Sparrow II 40L is a spacious backpack designed with durability and longevity in mind. It is excellent for organizing items, easily fits a laptop and tablet, and still leaves plenty of free space inside. It looks professional and, thanks to Cordura, is exceptionally resistant to damage. Additionally, the side compression straps stabilize the contents very well and prevent them from shifting, even when the backpack is not completely full.

A practical urban backpack with a comfortable design. Made of durable materials and high-quality fittings. The main compartment is spacious. The pocket at the back allows you to carry a 14-inch laptop. Inside there is a mesh organizer that can hold many things. I am very satisfied with the purchase of this backpack.

Very good backpack, I’ve taken it on several hikes. It’s comfortable to carry equipment in it (surprisingly so for a knapsack). Once the hip belt is detached, it’s a great alternative to a cabin suitcase (same dimensions). I always travel with it by plane, and it works perfectly. The materials it’s made of are excellent, I’ve had it for over a year and it still looks brand new. The pocket sewn at the top of the backpack is very functional, you can easily store headphones, gloves, or glasses there, it’s not obvious and gives quick access to the most necessary things. The backpack really only has one flaw. It’s been mentioned by other users before – the lack of straps to tighten the harnesses to the top of the backpack, which causes the upper part to stick out when fully loaded, and it doesn’t look good. I’m surprised the Wisport designers released it in this state. It irritated me a lot, so I decided to fix it myself, and I did so successfully! At this price and for this class of equipment, it really shouldn’t be necessary to do it yourself... I’m adding photos to the review for other users and the Wisport designers—it would be nice to add such a feature to these backpacks and offer an aftermarket modification to those who trusted the brand and bought it believing someone had thought it through, which wasn’t entirely the case this time. (My update was carried out using original Wisport parts – I just had to modify the buckles mounted on the straps, so as not to cut the straps sewn onto them)

There is no such thing as perfection. But this backpack is close to it. What do I miss? In the first large pocket, a velcro panel for attaching organizers. The side pockets for canteens could be deeper, because typical NATO bottles slip out and can fall. That's all my comments. On the plus side - capacity, regular shape, comfortable carrying system, the zippers don't jam and work smoothly, solid thick material, color (but that's a matter of taste). For me, it serves as a backup backpack for car trips. It nicely fits a booster/power pack, first aid kit, tarp, set for boiling water, several packs of freeze-dried food, coffee, tea, mugs, multitool, hatchet, knife, large gomboy, blanket, small stuff and... it's still not full :) And that's exactly what I wanted!!!

The backpack is not cheap but absolutely worth its price. Very spacious and exceptionally roomy. The straps are strong, durable, and comfortable. The solid zippers move smoothly. Additionally, a big plus for the rain cover included with the backpack.

I've had it for a while now, so I've had some time to test it out. I really like its spaciousness, the extra pockets, and of course the included cover. Maybe the pack is big, but those 40 liters really make a difference and let you stuff in quite a lot of gear. The side pockets with compression straps are awesome—an AR stock fits there just fine.

Wisport Sparrow 40L backpack Advantages: spacious, well made, Disadvantages: lack of MOLLE straps on the front of the backpack, water bottle pockets are a bit tight (generally a 1L bottle won't fall out but they could be bigger) Summary: I haven't had a better backpack

The backpack is made of great, top-quality materials—everything is at a world-class level like 5.11, Oakley, Mystery Ranch, etc. The stitching is excellent, the AFS carrying system is very comfortable, and inside there's a good division of compartments; the number of mesh pockets is spot-on. However, in my opinion, the backpack was overdesigned in some aspects. First: the lack of MOLLE on the front and replacing the MOLLE with two straps is a mistake. Second: the upper attachment of the shoulder straps is lower than usual, which makes the backpack stick out with no way to adjust it. Third: side pockets are not useful, a 1-liter Camelbak bottle just falls out—unless these pockets are meant for something else. Additionally, the side MOLLE straps have too few rows. And finally, the cover strips for the zippers are poorly designed; they don't return to the closed position and often get caught on the zippers. So, unfortunately, after some thought, I returned it and am still looking for a 40-liter backpack.

Solid workmanship, nothing is coming apart, the stitches are even, using it is definitely comfortable, and the price-to-quality ratio is also very good. The backpack can be recommended with confidence.

Good backpack. Well-thought-out design. According to the manufacturer's data, it weighs almost 2 kilos when empty. I don't feel that. I think it's quite light for its size. Together with the backpack, you get a rain cover. The cover is hidden in a pocket at the bottom of the backpack. The rain cover is a big plus. The backpack itself is solidly made. I recommend it—it's worth buying. I recommend it.

I switched from a Zipperfox 40L to this Sparrow. Previously, I also had a 30-liter Sparrow, but I needed something bigger and used the aforementioned Zipper 40. I lacked compartments in it; the backpack is very spacious, but one compartment with small pockets was not enough. In this one, however, I can easily plan my packing, and, best of all, this backpack is enough for a relaxed 3-day trip. The materials used are, of course, excellent Cordura and very good zipper protection. I highly recommend this backpack.

Wisport. A class of its own. Backpacks you can rely on in any conditions, literally. Just to be clear – I use two: 40 and 16, that's why I recommend them.

I had high expectations for this backpack, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Pros: -the quality and materials used are high standard. Cons: -the organizer is a complete misunderstanding. Not only is it impractical, but its position on the inner side of the outer flap causes the contents of the pockets, which of course have no zippers, to fall out. -there are no load adjustment straps at the shoulder straps. With such a large volume, this causes the backpack to stick out. It doesn't look good. -the flat pocket in the first compartment running from top to bottom. Similar to the one on the outer flap. It could at least be divided into two pockets. As it is, it's hard to find a use for such a deep and duplicated pocket. To sum up, I think this is an unfinished and not well thought out version of a backpack that has potential. Maybe someday there will be a SPARROW 40L 2 version... For now, return.

Generally, it is a well-made backpack. Unfortunately, the organizer is a failure. Not only is it located on the inner side of the front flap, which will cause problems with loose items when opened, but its poor quality is also truly disappointing. There is an option for reinforcement straps at the top of the shoulder straps. There aren't any. As a result, the backpack sticks out at the top, which could have been avoided. It's a pity. I was really enthusiastic about the purchase, but unfortunately, the magic is gone. Return.

Great backpack, just what I was looking for. I was hesitating between the ZipperFox 40 and this backpack, but its internal dimensions won. It is perfect for two- to three-day trips. The placement of Pals/Molle is, in my opinion, optimal. Thanks to the U-shaped zipper arrangement, you can access the entire contents of the main compartment very quickly. The carrying system is very comfortable. And there's also a built-in rain cover.
