The backpack is great, both in terms of build quality and the materials used (although the cost is also high). It fits perfectly as an addition to the Direct Action Halifax backpack, unlike side pockets from other companies – for example, the Wisport Sparrow did not fit and I had to return it. The price is very high, which may be discouraging, but apart from that it is hard to find other alternatives. Overall, despite the price, I am satisfied with the purchase.
A 12-litre tactical backpack that can be directly attached to the Spitfire tactical vest. It is made of durable and damage-resistant 500D Cordura and laminate. It provides space for carrying and storing essential equipment.
It features a spacious main compartment closed with a two-way zip. The front pocket is designed for smaller accessories, and two side pockets allow you to carry a water bottle or a water bag.
Adjustable shoulder straps make it easy to fit the user. Zip on the side edges allow for quick and easy attachment to a tactical vest. Laser-cut holes are compatible with the MOLLE system, allowing for the attachment of additional pouches or containers. Adjustable straps with buckles allow for compression of the backpack's volume and strapping of equipment to the outside.
A Velcro panel on the front allows you to attach any emblems, such as a national flag, unit insignia or morale patches.
The backpack is compatible with Direct Action Spitfire MK II and Spitfire Plate Carrier vests.

MultiCam Camouflage
MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

A backpack of very good quality. It works great with a plate carrier, because traditional backpacks with straps are uncomfortable to wear in that setup. It is worth buying comfort pads from the Spitfire vest – I recommend this solution.

The backpack is fine. Even though it has a 12L capacity, thanks to its well-thought-out compartments and extra pockets, it is much more practical. Unfortunately, when attached to a plate carrier, the plastic YKK zips turn out to be not very durable – all it took was catching a branch during a march and one zip broke, which I only noticed after a few hours. On the one hand, that's a flaw, but on the other, it shows how light the backpack is to wear.
