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.
Dragon Egg Enlarged is a larger version of the classic Dragon Egg backpack, with a capacity of 30 litres. It is a patrol model that performs well both during tactical operations and in everyday use. It features two special hydration cartridge pockets – one located in the main compartment and another in the rear closable pocket. Thanks to a special sleeve, the rear pocket can also be used to safely carry a radio or a 15-inch laptop.
The front pocket, similar in size to the main compartment, includes a simple organiser and a mesh pocket, making it easy to arrange gear. Side pockets are designed for storing flat and small items, but when unzipped, they expand to accommodate a Nalgene bottle.
The backpack is covered with a laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system, allowing for easy attachment of additional gear. Its compact shape gives it smaller dimensions than other backpacks of similar capacity, making it more convenient to use in combination with a ballistic vest and tactical belt.
The carrying system is equipped with internal back stiffeners for increased comfort. Wide, soft shoulder straps ensure comfort even during prolonged use, and an additional quick-release system allows them to be detached in seconds if necessary. The carrying handle is made of durable paracord, which can be unraveled in an emergency to form a 5.5-metre utility cord.
Additional features include two-way YKK zips, side and bottom compression straps with buckles, and 12 x 8 cm Velcro for customisation. The Duraflex - WooJin buckles ensure durability and reliability even in harsh conditions.

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.
-
Great backpack for everyday carry – it also does well at the shooting range and on short trips. Highly recommended.
-
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 backpack for everyday use.
-
The price matches the quality, the backpack is very spacious and comfortable to carry.
-
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.
