I bought this backpack for my daughter for scout trips. The chosen model is functional and she really liked it. Unfortunately, the divider in the main compartment had a faulty zip, which was sewn in incorrectly – the slider would not move along the entire length and would get stuck on the wrong side of the tape. I returned the backpack asking for a warranty repair or replacement. The Militaria shop accepted the complaint without any problem and offered a refund, but my daughter wanted an identical model, so I requested a new item. The new backpack arrived quickly, but it turned out to have the same defect – clearly, the entire batch was sewn incorrectly. So I decided to try to fix the zip myself: I unpicked the ends of the zip, twisted the tape 180 degrees, re-threaded the slider, and sewed everything back by hand. It took me about an hour, but the result is satisfactory – the zip works properly. It was a manufacturer’s fault, but the shop’s customer service was good, and I also managed to meet my daughter’s request. In the end, everyone is happy, and the backpack itself is definitely worth recommending.
The 55-liter backpack is made of abrasion- and tear-resistant polyester. It is equipped with two main compartments. Their contents can be accessed from both the top and bottom of the backpack.
The upper main compartment is closed with a flap with buckles, and the lower main compartment is closed with a two-way zipper. The Tactical model is equipped with two side pockets, a flap pocket and a front pocket. All of them are fastened with a two-way zipper. In addition, a mesh fabric pocket with Velcro closure has been placed on the front.
Wide shoulders with soft padding and adjustability, a removable aluminum frame and soft panels on the back ensure air circulation, comfort during use and allow the backpack to properly fit the user's build. The wide hip belt and chest strap are responsible for even load distribution.
In addition, the backpack is equipped with detachable straps that allow you to trounce additional gear on the outside of the backpack and a carry handle for lifting and carrying.

At first glance, the backpack looks great and is indeed very spacious. We'll see how durable it is with longer use. You can't unfasten the hip belt, but it doesn't get in the way when using an additional belt with gear – it's placed a little higher, so you can move comfortably. The backpack also has plenty of adjustment straps, so everyone can customise it to their needs.

The backpack is very comfortable and well made. My younger son uses it for scouting and is really very pleased. As a patrol leader, it earns him respect among the younger scouts. The only downside is the rather stiff straps and tightly working buckles, which means adjusting them takes a bit of patience. However, it is a recent purchase, so everything will settle and fit over time.
