I was looking to find a Good Quality Rugged Tactical Bag that has a simple build, has enough space for stuff, but without so many separate compartments with each one needing a zipper to get to my stuff, and without having to pay a fortune for it. Found It! This MAGNUM Bag in Tan I bought complies with all the standards I was hoping to find. Those hoping to get a Backpack to take into Combat might not be satisfied with this example, but for the price its Excellent! A Good Buy. Again at Military.eu
Magnum Tajga 45 l Backpack - Ermine
A large backpack for multi-day expeditions. The primary luggage fits in the main compartment with a large camelback pocket and a hole for routing out a hydration hose.
Laptop pocket, organizer, two-way zippers
The second pocket contains an organizer with compartments for documents, notebook, phone, and pens, and a short keyper (key holder) to keep them always in the same place and at hand. On the other side, there is a zippered pocket that can hold a laptop with a screen size of up to 15 inches.
The backpack is closed with thickened, two-way zippers. The main compartment's zipper has a strip to protect it from dirt.
MOLLE trouser system
A MOLLE attachment system has been sewn onto the front and side panels. This system allows you to carry urgent items, as well as additional equipment that does not fit in the backpack, enabling the attachment of extra side pockets.
Comfortable carrying system with hip belt
Comfortable carrying is guaranteed by a carrying system consisting of a padded, molded back with grooves that allow air exchange and the back to breathe freely. Stable carrying of a full backpack is facilitated by infinitely adjustable suspenders and a hip belt with a fastex buckle. Reflective pieces of material are sewn on the suspenders, increasing safety when moving in high-traffic areas.
Compression straps
Adjusting the external size of the backpack to the amount of equipment carried is possible thanks to compensation straps - two on the bottom and on each side of the backpack. Shortening the straps flattens the backpack, for example, when the main compartment is empty, leaving only the water bag inside while the smaller pockets are filled. This keeps the backpack stable and visually appealing.

I don't know why, but the side straps don't allow you to fully use the backpack's capacity, as they are sewn on permanently and are not adjustable. Still, I consider the simple design a plus.
-
A great backpack whose capacity often seems to exceed other models with the same volume. This is mainly thanks to the practical pockets with additional compartments inside, which allow you to quickly find small items in the 45-litre backpack. On the outside, at the front and sides, there is a functional set of loops and compression straps that make it possible to attach larger items and free up space inside. I definitely recommend it.

I'm evaluating the capacity of this backpack from a photographer's perspective. If you plan to take a larger camera or camcorder and fit it into a case up to 36x30x16 cm (for example, a case for a Nikon Coolpix P1100), or even up to 46 cm in length, it will be a suitable choice. My case, which is 20 cm high, fits exactly, while at 36 cm wide, you already need to squeeze things in a bit. It's worth equipping the backpack with additional pouches—I have quite a few from other gear, for example from a tactical vest. I also added a side dump pouch for a tripod (folded max 60 cm), as well as a deep side pouch for a water bottle. I also added a small pouch for trinkets and a larger one at the bottom for a pouch of filters and other accessories. If we talk about the inside of the backpack—I have reservations about the thinnest pocket, as it isn’t very useful. I only put a camera tarpaulin, a folding tray, a pen, and a notebook in there at most. I recommend this backpack if you really need to pack a lot for the field, but don’t require a huge model. For larger accessories (big lenses, tripods), it may be too small. I managed to fit a whole case of water and other things in the main compartment during shopping. It is very roomy and I recommend it for an evacuation backpack set if you have several people. It's solid and worth having.
-
The backpack is very good quality, solidly made and great for anglers. I have no problem fitting two telescopic rods, one collapsible spinning rod and plenty of other gear. The zips are strong. Carrying the backpack is comfortable and for 200 PLN the build quality is really high. I can wholeheartedly recommend it both for trips and for everyday use in the city, if you need a lot of space. A product worth recommending, characterised by high quality.

Unfortunately, I had to exchange the backpack for a larger one. I am waiting to see how the situation develops. This one turned out to be smaller than I expected and smaller than the one I’m currently using, but I already have my eye on the 55l model. It's much more expensive, but it's the backpack of my dreams. My opinion is based on the need for side pockets and more capacity, because I also go to the gym, carry my laptop, power bank, and a backpack under 45l isn't an option for me – that's exactly what I have now, even though it has side pockets, there’s no room for shoes. I'm still searching for the perfect one, and this will surely be it. For people choosing a backpack, I recommend paying attention to the material: nylon is more durable than polyester, both in terms of abrasion and load.

Looking for a backpack with around 40 litres capacity and durable for heavy loads, this one fully met my expectations – solid, waterproof material, strong zippers, you can pack clothes and canned food. For almost 30 years I’ve been going to the Borne Sulinowo forests and I can recommend it to anyone; I’ll probably buy another for my wife. Survival is survival.
-
This backpack is much better than my previous Mil-Tec model, it has two very large compartments, one of which comes with an organiser for smaller items like a notebook or multitool. Compression straps in the middle are very practical; one can be shortened, the other lengthened as needed. The only downside is the MOLLE side straps, which are too narrow, making it hard to thread the extra pocket straps through – you need something like a multitool to help. Despite this, it’s well worth its price.
-
The backpack is very well made and during several hours of marching you hardly feel its weight. I usually carry about 6 kg of equipment in it, and with my slight build this causes no problems at all.
-
This is already the second backpack of this model that I've bought. I think it stands out for its excellent value for money. The backpack is very spacious, and when you carry few things, you can compress it conveniently. It is not unwieldy, and in terms of capacity it definitely wins, especially considering the price.
-
The backpack is of very good quality and offers surprisingly a lot of space compared to other models of similar size. Practical pockets help with this, as they have additional smaller internal compartments, making it easy to find small items in a 45-litre backpack. On the outside, the clever system of molle straps on the front and sides and snap straps for attaching larger items work well, freeing up space inside. I definitely recommend it!
-
This tactical backpack stands out for its very good price and quality. The molle system allows you to attach additional accessories and gives more space inside. I've attached a sickle, a tourniquet, and a helmet holder to mine, but there are many configuration options. It's comfortable to wear. Personally, I really like the layout with one large and one much smaller compartment. I recommend it to anyone who is hesitating!
-
Large backpack offering excellent value for money. Equipped with compression straps as well as a front panel and side bands compatible with the MOLLE system, which allows for easy attachment of additional gear or compression as needed. It is complemented by a basic hip belt.
-
I bought this backpack just in case as an emergency evacuation one and I'm slowly getting to know it. It seems solid and meets my expectations.
-
I've been carrying textbooks, knives, wood, roller skates, food, shoes and more in it since September 2019. The only failure was the seam dividing the main compartment from the side pocket, but I fixed it easily. Even though it's polyester, it's very durable and cheap. I give it 5+.
