Great backpack, really very spacious. Very comfortable and well designed, the straps can be easily adjusted. Very sturdy, it seems like you can insert a ballistic plate in the back, which is a big advantage. Overall, I highly recommend it.
Designed with discretion in mind, the Helikon Dowtown backpack. From the outside, the backpack does not stand out from typical urban models, which allows to secretly and safely carry a gun, the retrieval of which is easy thanks to the QSA (Quick Side Access) system .
The backpack is made of hard-wearing nylon and has nothing on the outside to indicate its purpose. Inside, it is padded with soft velour fabric compatible with the Versatile Insert System, which allows the inside of the backpack to be personalised.
The structure of the backpack has been designed primarily with quick access to the gun in mind. The quick-release system from the harness allows it to be easily rotated to the chest or side, the pocket in which the pistol is carried is easily unzipped, while the backpack itself, thanks to the pocket for ballistic cartridges, can be used as a cover.

This is a great backpack, well made from high-quality materials, equipped with sturdy zips and durable buckles. Its urban look makes it perfect for everyday city use. It's practical, comfortable, and very roomy, and the numerous pockets are extremely useful.

The Helikon Downtown 27L is an excellent choice for those looking for a universal and functional backpack for everyday use. Made from durable nylon and with numerous well-thought-out compartments, it works well both in the city and for short trips. Its subtle appearance does not reveal the backpack’s military character. A practical pocket ensures quick and safe access to a weapon, and the possibility of inserting a ballistic insert increases its functionality. The spacious main compartment with a soft Velcro allows you to organise the interior according to your own needs. Easily detachable straps make handling easy, and the comfortable back ensures lasting comfort. It's the perfect backpack for those who appreciate convenient and practical solutions. It is currently available at a very good price, which makes it a great investment. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, functional and aesthetically pleasing backpack for everyday and special tasks!

Very good backpack, it's roomy. A practical feature is the separate compartment for a pistol – by buying a few inserts, you can conveniently store small items like a torch or a knife there.

At last, a Helikon backpack has appeared that at first glance doesn't look military. It's spacious, has several cleverly arranged pockets, and allows you to organise the interior individually, which really suits me. It copes well with light rain. I honestly recommend it for both everyday use and special occasions :)
