An interesting design with the option to detach an additional pocket in the style of an admin panel, which can serve as a beaver tail, making it easier to carry a helmet, jacket, or tarp. Due to its capacity, it is not suitable for carrying very large loads, but it is distinguished by its extremely comfortable carrying system: wide straps and well-contoured back. It works perfectly as a 72-hour backpack or an evacuation pack. Even after detaching the additional pocket, it doesn’t lose practicality and is excellent for day trips to the mountains, the seaside or the forest. At the moment, the price is a bit off-putting, but who says you can’t afford a bit of luxury? Highly recommended!

A 3-day patrol backpack with a basic capacity of 28 litres suitable for advanced tactical tasks. The main compartment is equipped with two pockets: a mesh pocket and a hydration pocket, which can be adapted to carry a radio station or a 15’ laptop. The hydration cartridge can also be placed in the zipped rear pocket.
The backpack features an additional detachable 3.5 litre pocket equipped with an internal organiser. Thanks to the MOLLE/PALS-compatible system, it can be used both separately and in combination with other accouterments. The two front pockets are ideal for carrying personal items. The side pockets allow flat and small items to be carried, and when the zipper is opened, they increase their inertness to accommodate, for example, a Nalgene bottle. There is also a velcro panel on the front for patches and emblems.
The Ghost model has been covered with a laser-cut system compatible with MOLLE/PALS. The backpack's carrying system is equipped with an internal back padding and soft, comfortable braces with a quick-release system. When carrying a heavy load, the 105 mm wide hip belt helps to distribute the weight appropriately.
The innovative Combat Vent System used on the rucksack ensures a high level of carrying comfort. The CVS consists of appropriately shaped foam panels with a large number of ventilation channels. Their construction, combined with the mesh lining of the panels, means that the backpack does not sit directly on the back. This improves air circulation, which has a cooling effect and prevents sweating, while the rigid foam used ensures that the backpack fits comfortably and stably.
At the top of the rucksack there is a short handle for transport in hand. Additional D-rings allow small accessories to be attached. The side and bottom compression straps make it easy to adjust the size of the backpack to suit the equipment being carried.
The backpack is equipped with YKK zips and Duraflex WooJin buckles.

Camouflage Woodland
Woodland, also known as U.S. Woodland or M81, is a classic camouflage pattern introduced to the US Armed Forces in the early 1980s, based on the earlier ERDL camouflage. For over two decades, it remained the standard pattern used by the US military until the end of the first decade of the 21st century. It is characterized by large, irregular patches in shades of green, brown, beige, and black, which provide good camouflage and deformation properties, especially in wooded areas. Thanks to its effectiveness and global recognition, it has spawned numerous variations that have found their way into over 60 uniform formations around the world. The pattern has also had a huge impact on popular culture, shifting from military applications to everyday fashion.

The backpack is comfortable, very well organised and solidly made. I use it every day for work and on trips out of town. Highly recommended.

Great backpack, very solidly made and well-designed, with a distinct military character. It's essentially four functions in one product: as a bushcraft backpack for 2-3 days; after detaching the back pouch and the lower belt, it becomes an EDC backpack. Additionally, the pouch can be converted into a handy shoulder bag thanks to the included strap, and the lower belt, when combined with the straps, forms a tactical belt. All these elements are included. Interestingly, although it's not mentioned on the manufacturer's website, the backpack actually has two compartments for a hydration bladder—the second one is located directly against the back. Polish design. I definitely recommend it!

The backpack is great – you can turn the detachable parts into a bag, it has many internal pockets and wide options for adjusting the straps. The side pockets are deep, so you can fit, for example, a thermos there, and underneath the backpack, if you set the straps correctly, you can attach a foam mat or a sleeping mat.

Top-class backpack, durable construction
-
A very good backpack with interesting solutions. I've been using it for two years now and the only downside is the external bottle pockets instead of being able to fully unzip it like a suitcase. Once adjusted, it works great as a travel, patrol or everyday backpack.
-
Great quality. I don't notice any flaws.
-
An excellent backpack from a Polish manufacturer! Definitely worth its price!
-
I have the first version of this backpack in Greenzone camo. It is irreplaceable – durable, spacious, comfortable and superbly designed. If I ever had to replace it, it would only be with the newest model, because this one is definitely the best. It has accompanied me in the mountains, forests and meadows throughout the year, has fallen many times on concrete and gravel, and yet still looks and works flawlessly. If anyone is still hesitating to buy it, don’t – it’s worth buying, worth every penny.
-
The backpack raises no objections – it is very well made. The hip belt can be easily detached and worn separately as a tactical belt; special harnesses are also included in the set. Similarly, the front organiser can be used as an independent shoulder bag, and the appropriate strap is also included. I definitely recommend it.
-
I use this backpack interchangeably with the black ZipperFox 40L from Wisport. Although it's a bit smaller, it allows for better organisation of contents. The external pocket with MOLLE/PALS panel can be detached. Highly recommended.
-
Solid backpack, excellent quality, great camouflage and lots of pockets – I definitely recommend it!
-
This is one of the best backpacks I have ever used. Molle system, modularity and excellent quality, I definitely recommend it AAAA++++.
