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.

MultiCam Camouflage
MultiCam is a modern camouflage created in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior project. Its aim was to develop a universal camouflage pattern effective in diverse conditions and terrains. The MultiCam pattern contains seven colours, creating gradient transitions between green, brown and beige. This allows it to dynamically adapt to the background, taking on shades of green in woodland areas or browns and beiges in desert terrains - in Central and Eastern European environments, it's particularly effective 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 accepted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers in Afghanistan, replacing the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available for civilians, making it a popular choice among military enthusiasts and airsoft players.

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.
