Ideal for carrying everything – from a helmet (the front pocket is brilliantly designed), to a hydration system and larger items, as well as lots of small bits thanks to the well-designed pockets. It sits very comfortably on the back, which means the weight is well distributed. The carrying structure, hip belt, and overall workmanship are of the highest level. Certainly, even with heavy loads, it will last for many years, so I believe its price is fully justified.

I have a set of the whole Rush series and this backpack really is very spacious, allowing you to conveniently arrange your gear. The workmanship is top-notch. Worth every penny.

Used both in the woods and in the city for tough tasks – durable in every aspect. Even the YKK zips cope easily with dirt and moisture. The pockets have been laid out very practically, they fit plenty of different gear – from larger items such as a sleeping bag or mat, to smaller things like a lighter, multitool, zip ties or pepper spray. There is still enough space left, so you don’t need to unpack everything to find something, which makes using it much easier. The chest and hip straps work well, and the back of the backpack is thick and solid, additionally secured with a pocket for a camelbak, which improves the fit and carrying comfort. The zips run smoothly without catching either from the outside or inside of the pack. The protruding pocket is particularly suitable for heavy items that fit in there – though you lose a bit of comfort, thanks to the straps you can compress it well, so stability remains high. The pocket can also be used to carry a helmet instead of a dedicated harness, but if there’s already something inside, it’s better not to force more in. I strongly recommend this backpack – despite the high price, it is a good investment for several years, especially if you need durability and gear for really demanding conditions.

Great backpack, I’ve only had it for two days, but I already know it will become my favourite for everyday use and outdoor activities. Solidly made, practical, perfect size – not too big, not too small. The carrying system could be a bit better, but that’s a minor detail given the capacity. I wholeheartedly recommend this backpack.

Very well designed in terms of pocket and compartment layout. It's comfortable to carry. It proved itself during family trips to the mountains, holiday getaways as a clothes bag, and when transporting more equipment to the shooting range. I usually prefer to have a bit more space, which is why I often choose this model over the Wisport Sparrow 30, because I don't like having a completely packed-out rucksack.
