Great disappointment with this bag, which I found to be of poor quality. Many seams are not very tight, but above all: a zip that failed on the very first use... I've had many bags in my life and although this one is cheap, it doesn't seem convincing enough to me. I'm waiting for the replacement model to arrive to possibly change my opinion. In the meantime, I cannot recommend this bag.

Very sturdy and spacious backpack. The 65L capacity is ideal for long trips or outdoor activities. The compartments are well organised and it's comfortable to carry even when loaded. The materials are strong and the quality is excellent. Very good value for money.
-
The German GEN.II Large Rucksack is okay for the price. Unfortunately, only 3 stars. The back support could be a bit stiffer. The second problem is that the straps on top of the lid are too short to attach my Defence 4 on top of it.
-
Very spacious and comfortable to wear. Despite my small stature, it fits well on my back. Additional straps allow you to adjust its position, and despite this, it doesn't dig into your shoulders or hips. An extra advantage is the attached waterproof cover.
-
A solid and extremely spacious backpack. Excellent value for money. Thanks to the molle system, its functions can be adapted according to your needs. The hip belt makes it suitable even for longer trips. I definitely recommend it.

The backpack is very good, it performed perfectly when earning the Military Mountain Badge. It is strong and comfortable. I recommend it. The support is not very stiff, but sufficient. It offers a lot of adjustments and the wide hip belt does its job very well.

I have the Mil-tec 36L backpack, but it was too small for weekend mountain hikes, so I chose this model. It proved excellent – the side pockets are very practical, as is the option to attach additional gear such as a sleeping mat or tent. I definitely recommend it!

The backpack is really spacious and fits a lot of things. It is comfortable even under heavier loads. It is a great choice for those who need a large backpack at an affordable price. Worth a try.
