At first it seemed great, but after the second tactical training, shortcomings started to emerge. The cords, which should be secured with stitching, are simply cut, which causes the shoulder strap to come undone on its own during a march. After the third training, one of the shoulder straps almost tore off – only the reinforcement saved it. The hip belt detached and was lost because of poorly sewn cords. If you want to attach a mat or sleeping bag, it's difficult, you have to buy extra attachments, as they are not included in the set.

Badger Outdoor Assault Recon Backpack 40 l - Black
Patrol backpack with a capacity of 40 litres is designed for versatile use - from tourism and survival to everyday urban wear. Comfortable use is ensured by the carry system with contoured shoulder straps, waist belt and fastex quick-release buckles, which significantly improve carrying comfort. Four pockets, two main compartments and the MOLLE webbing system facilitate organisation and increase the functionality of the backpack.
convenient storage system - 2 main compartments, numerous pockets
The Recon 40L model has four main pockets, which allow excellent storage of equipment. Two compartments are designed for larger items such as a sleeping bag, food or clothing. The larger compartment has an additional flat zipped pocket, ideal for smaller items. The smaller compartment features a flat pocket and two mesh pockets for easy organisation and quick access to smaller items.
On the front of the backpack, there are two additional pockets - a lower, larger one and an upper, smaller one - for small accessories. The lower pocket is equipped with an organiser for documents and keys, while the upper pocket is great for carrying a phone, glasses or navigation devices.
Dedicated pocket for Hydration System
There is a velcro-closed compartment on the back of the backpack for the hydration system. It allows you to conveniently store a supply of water, providing quick access to hydration without having to pull out bottles. This pocket is discreetly located and well protected, which protects the cartridge from damage while moving in the field.
Robust Zips, MOLLE System, d-rings
All pockets in the backpack are closed with thick, spiral double zips, which guarantees their smooth operation and durability.
The backpack is also equipped with the MOLLE webbing system - the webbing on the front and sides of the backpack allows additional equipment to be attached. D-rings on the shoulder straps allow additional tactical accessories to be attached.
Compression straps and size adjustment
The Recon 40L features compression straps that allow the backpack to be sized to fit its contents. These straps are located on the sides, bottom and top of the backpack, allowing it to be flattened for better stability and a neater look, even when partially loaded.
Contoured self-adjusting shoulder straps, detachable waist belt
The backpack has an advanced carry system that provides comfort and stability. The profiled harness, which is finished with QD (Quick Detachment) fastex attachments, allow the backpack to be quickly dropped when needed.

A very practical and spacious backpack, I think it’s definitely worth its price. The materials and workmanship are of a high standard. The hip and chest straps relieve the back well. Additionally, it looks very nice, especially worthwhile during promotions.
-
First impression is positive – the backpack has two large compartments, the largest of which opens along its entire length, is quite spacious, and the small pocket is perfect for a first aid kit. The zips seem solid. Unfortunately, a big downside are the cords – all the straps are not secured at the ends and during use, especially with other gear like a vest, they come undone on their own. After the first use, the supporting strap on the belt and the stiffening straps on the chest already fell off.
-
The backpack is made from durable material and has a large capacity. It is equipped with both main and smaller pockets, making it easier to organise your gear during survival trips or mountain hikes. The MOLLE attachment system allows you to carry extra equipment, and the adjustable shoulder straps help to distribute the weight well. In its price range, it's a very good choice.
-
I highly recommend this backpack – it is very well made and sturdy. It fits a lot of things and is larger than I expected. Thanks to its small size it is versatile, and the price for this quality is very attractive. It's easily enough for a two-day trip.
-
I bought the backpack with working on a crane in mind. It is spacious, although the waterproof lining doesn’t impress with its quality. Apart from that, the backpack is really solid, and for this price, it’s worth buying. A large number of pockets and comfortable straps that take the strain off the zips are additional pluses.
-
So far I have had positive impressions – I haven't noticed any quality issues. The backpack is quite spacious and practically designed. I'm curious how it will perform when used outdoors.
-
Despite its compact dimensions, the backpack is very spacious – you can easily pack belongings for 2–3 days. The adjustable shoulder straps allow for comfortable adjustment to the contents, and the hip and chest straps do not cause discomfort even under heavy load. At this price, it is definitely worth recommending.
-
If you need a backpack for trips, I definitely recommend it. I have an old, smaller backpack from China – the difference is huge! This one is not only much bigger, but it's also made from much better material. I managed to fit a sleeping bag in a sack, attached a tent on the side, and there was still plenty of space left.
-
The backpack is comfortable, spacious, well sewn; I haven’t noticed any defects in workmanship. It has lots of pockets and compartments. The straps are still comfortable even with heavier loads. Durability remains to be seen.
-
Great backpack, I am satisfied with both the quality of the material and the stitching. There are many adjustment options on the straps, allowing for a comfortable fit. Thank you also for the express delivery!
-
Very nice and spacious backpack. I use it to carry ASG equipment, such as a helmet, ammunition, magazine chargers, batteries, gloves, masks and many other things – everything fits. The backpack sits well on my back and is comfortable, and the shoulder straps are also comfortable.
-
This is a very good backpack. It comes with large, seemingly strong zips which work very smoothly, which I consider a great advantage. It is spacious and a bit tall, but that makes it look slim. It has two separate, large compartments and two smaller ones, and the larger ones have additional organisers. There is also a larger Velcro-fastened pocket at the back.
-
The backpack is very practical and well-stitched from durable materials. It easily fits clothes needed for several days of travel. I am pleased with this purchase.
-
I used this backpack for shoes during a trip to the slopes – at first I kept my ski boots in it, then I swapped them for walking shoes. The backpack has durable zips and is well-made; I definitely wouldn't buy anything else for this price – cheap supermarket products broke quickly for me, and this one performs very well.
