Excellent backpack at a good price. The high quality of workmanship and the multitude of features are truly impressive. Numerous pockets and practical solutions make it perfect for trips out of town. Helikon has once again not let me down. A product definitely worth recommending, thank you very much. I give it 5 stars with full confidence.

I have been using this type of backpack for about two years, just in the woodland version. It works great every day and I like its size. It has been made solidly, which is why this time I chose the grey one. At this price, it is really worth having – it is hard to pass by indifferently. I recommend it because it is an exceptional promotion on militaria.pl.
-
I am very satisfied with the purchase of this backpack. I already have a larger model and needed something more compact, so I chose this one. The backpack looks great, is spacious and comfortable to use. Highly recommended!
-
The quality is very good, but the straps could be sewn at a slight angle. As for the holes in the backpack, for those who don't know what they are for – it's a combat backpack, so when you run through a river or it rains heavily, water can flow out of it freely.
-
The backpack is carefully designed and well made, has plenty of space and allows you to organise the contents well. It works great not only for work, but also for various trips. It's comfortable, with the option to add extra pockets. Only advantages.
-
The backpack is very nice and spacious. As for durability, it's hard for me to say anything because I haven't had the chance to test it in the field, but it gives the impression of being strong and I think it will work well. I recommend both the product and the seller. The parcel, as usual, arrived very quickly.
-
Great backpack, solidly made, small but very spacious, allows you to organize your belongings well. The promotional price is very attractive. In person, it looks even better than in the pictures. If needed, it can be expanded. Currently, I see only advantages.
-
The backpack is very nice, I like both its appearance and the way it is organised. Unfortunately, I have concerns about the quality of workmanship. After just three outings and despite careful use, the key hook inside the front pocket broke – weak material, but that's a minor issue. A more serious problem is the straps adjusting the shoulder straps – they loosen themselves while wearing, so after two hours without Velcro, the backpack would slide down very low. I don't know whether the buckles or the straps are to blame, but it is a major problem. Please Helikon, fix this, because it is important – a backpack should stay on your back, not slide down.
-
A simple and sturdy medium-sized backpack with many compartments – neither too small nor too large; it has straps for attaching accessories – it will work great both in the forest and for everyday use. I recommend it.
-
I have been using this backpack for six years and there are practically no signs of wear, despite daily use as a school bag. Despite the price, I consider it worth recommending.
-
When buying on promotion with a military ID, I got it at a very good price. It's a much cheaper option compared to Wisport backpacks, and it's also Cordura 500D. I have some doubts about the durability of the back pads – the first backpack had permanently deformed pads, probably from storage. Under the mesh in the foam there were permanent holes that couldn't be evened out. During use, they didn't bother me, but they were visible in new gear. Militaria.pl exchanged the product for a new one without any problems.
-
I use it every day for work – the laptop fits perfectly. It’s great for daily use and for one-day trips. It’s small but very roomy. It often accompanied me while cycling as well. It’s comfortable and solidly made.
-
The backpack is sturdy, but it won't be suitable for those who prefer lightweight models, as it is a bit heavy. The only thing I miss is a hook for hanging a hydration bladder, although there is a drawstring, so you can manage somehow. Overall, I have the impression that the backpack will be very durable and will last for years.
-
A very solid backpack from Helikon – well made, spacious, maybe not the cheapest, but worth its price. Materials and workmanship are of a high standard. The hip and chest straps effectively relieve the back. Plus, it looks really nice.
-
The backpack is excellent. The quality of workmanship is very high. It works perfectly both for everyday use and for longer walks. Helikon is my favourite company – I have many of their products bought from militaria.pl.
