Direct Action Dragon Egg Enlarged Backpack 30 l - Adaptive Green

A 30-litre backpack in Adaptive Green. The Dragon Egg Enlarged is an enlarged version of the Dragon Egg model. Made of 500D Cordura, which provides high resistance to abrasion and tearing. Designed for a wide range of applications - from trekking and field marches to tactical operations and everyday gear carry. A spacious main compartment, numerous pockets and practical dividers make it easy to organise equipment conveniently.

construction made of durable Cordura

The backpack is made of durable 500D Cordura. The material stands out for its high resistance to mechanical damage such as abrasion or tearing, which clearly increases the backpack's service life in field conditions.

spacious main compartment, practical pockets

The model is equipped with two pockets for water tanks, one in the main compartment and the other in the zipped rear pocket, which thanks to a special sleeve can also be used for the safe transport of a radio or a 15" laptop. The front pocket, similar in size to the main compartment, accommodates a simple organiser and a mesh pocket. The side pockets allow you to carry flat and small items, and after unzipping they increase in volume and can hold a bottle.

MOLLE system, velcro panel on the front

The Dragon Egg Enlarged is covered with a laser-cut system compatible with MOLLE/PALS. Thanks to its shape, the backpack has a smaller profile than models with similar capacity, which clearly makes it easier to use with ballistic vests and belt accoutrement. Compression straps with buckles allow the backpack's volume to be adjusted to the amount of gear being carried, and also make it possible to attach additional equipment. Another attachment point is provided by the sewn-on D-rings.

YKK zips, Duraflex WooJin

The backpack is equipped with two-way YKK zips. The Duraflex WooJin buckles used increase durability and reliability even in demanding conditions. The velcro panel placed on the front (hook-and-loop) allows any emblems to be attached.

Carry system

The backpack's carry system features an internal back stiffener and soft, comfortable shoulder straps. The detachable hip belt can also be used as a tactical belt thanks to the additional straps included in the set. The carry handle is made of paracord. In an emergency, it can be unravelled to obtain 5.5 metres of cord.

System MOLLE feature
System MOLLE

MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.

Woojin buckles feature
Woojin buckles

Woojin buckles are a type of buckles and fasteners made of high-quality materials such as polyamide or polypropylene, which ensures durability and weather resistance. They are widely used in the manufacture of backpacks, bags, clothing and tactical gear, providing sturdy, reliable and easy-to-use fasteners.

Laser Cut System feature
Laser Cut System

LCS (Laser Cut System) is a new version of the assembly used in the MOLLE system, where instead of traditional tapes, laser-cut holes are used directly in the material. The system is much lighter than standard sewn-on PALS tapes and guarantees better camouflage. The holes are hemmed with thread to prevent fuzzing and ripping, or, as in the case of Cordura, the laser-cut edges are fused.

    Spacious and well compartmentalised; ideal for work and trips lasting a few days. The fastening systems are very durable, and the back panel is well ventilated.

    High quality, very comfortable with different weights. It is visible that a lot of attention and thoughts were invested in the making and design of this backpack. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend.

    Disaster. For a backpack costing almost a thousand zloty, I expected high quality. Unfortunately, with rather careful use (events, small shopping), after only a year and a half a strap started to tear off, and the main zip stopped working. Even a fake Swiss Gear from China was more durable and cost three times less. I’m waiting for the manufacturer’s response to my complaint, but I thought at this price I would get something sturdier. I am very disappointed.

    I am delighted. This is probably the best backpack I have ever seen. It has everything this size should have. This model has been increased to 30 litres. The spacious interior allows you to organise things well and also add your own accessories – additional pockets, holders, straps, elastics, etc. The only inconvenience is that it's a bit harder to mount without the strap system, but this isn’t much of a problem over longer use. The backpack is carefully made and makes a great first impression.

    Since I bought this backpack, I have walked about 200 km with it. I have used it really intensively, and I have not been gentle. Advantages: - Very durable, solid backpack. - Comfortable, soft shoulder straps. - Interesting colour scheme (shadow grey) Disadvantages: - The biggest downside is that the internal pockets and organiser are located in the upper parts of the compartments, which makes putting in and taking out larger items (e.g. a mess tin, food supplies, poncho) very inconvenient. - The declared capacity of 30 litres seems to be somewhat “on paper”, as bigger items push out the middle, leaving less space in the second compartment. - Strap adjustment lasts for about an hour of fast walking, then you have to readjust them.

    Previously I had the mk2 model with a capacity of 25 litres. Now I have chosen this 30-litre backpack. It looks very good and is solidly made. The shadow grey colour is great for urban use. The backpack is quite heavy, but the quality of workmanship makes up for it.

    Reliable, sturdy and well-designed backpack. It works perfectly as an EDC, and packing for a few days’ trip with it is a real pleasure. Definitely worth its price, as it’s a purchase for many years. It looks great, and in black subtly conceals its tactical character.

    Good morning, the backpack is solid and definitely worth recommending! The number of compartments and the quality of the materials are impressive. You can feel its weight, but that’s a minor detail compared to the overall rating, which I give a 5!

    Buying this backpack brought me great joy. The quality, durability, and ergonomics exceeded my expectations, and the workmanship is at a very high level. The price is not low, but in my opinion, the backpack is worth every penny spent. It's quite stiff, so it needs a bit of time to break in. I've been using it daily for a long time and the only sign of use is dust (because it’s black). Lots of personalisation options with accessories if you want. The carrying system is excellent – with a 10-12 kg load I feel like I’m only carrying five. So far I see no drawbacks. I definitely recommend it.

    The backpack is fantastic! I wanted lots of pockets and compartments inside – this model met my expectations. Made from strong materials and very well stitched! The backpack has already been tested – it doesn’t leak, but it’s worth treating it for extra waterproofing. In my opinion, the price is completely justified!

    Great materials, sturdy fastenings and careful workmanship, the backpack is comfortable to wear and very spacious, with many compartments and pockets. An interesting option is the detachable waist belt, which can be easily removed when not needed.

    It's hard to say right now how long the backpack will last – time will tell. At the moment, I'm very pleased with the quality of workmanship, everything is well finished, and the backpack sits perfectly on my back. It has plenty of pockets and compartments. Additionally, it has a reinforced compartment for a laptop, which is a huge advantage. It's perfect both for travelling, for trips to the mountains, as well as for everyday use in the city.
