Texar Scout Backpack 35 l Olive

A handy backpack with many pockets. Everything is well organised – numerous pockets and compartments allow you to keep things tidy. The two side pockets work great for small items. Inside, there are two similar zip pockets, and at the back there are a few small pockets for bottles or other things, which is practical, but if you fill them completely, the main compartment shrinks a lot and it’s hard to fit something larger. A big plus is the molle system, which turns out to be very sturdy. The straps are comfortable and strong, but I replaced the chest strap because there was a problem with the buckle. The downside is the hip belt – under heavy load it comes loose easily. The backpack is very durable, I carry a lot in it and it still looks good. The material on the straps and back, which is supposed to improve breathability, gets fuzzy quickly and ends up looking poor.

In my opinion, the backpack does not have a capacity of 35l. When buying it, I was guided by Robert's review, who described in detail the dimensions of the main compartment and pockets in the olive model. This capacity suits me perfectly and fits all my gear for a trip to the shooting range. The backpack has lots of pockets, which help with organisation, and stabilising straps. It is comfortable and quite spacious. I can honestly recommend it. PS. In the photo there is a bottle for size comparison.

After a year of use, what I appreciate most are the three separate pockets for jars – two large and one small, which can be tied at the top. They are very practical for transporting food to work. Additionally, there are spacious outer pockets. The backpack is comfortable both to wear and when cycling. After a year, there are no signs of wear or tear. I plan to use it for a long time yet.

The main compartment is 18 litres and the pockets are 5 litres – a total of 23 litres. My old Scout from over five years ago had about 30 litres and was bigger. Many of the pockets are practical when you don’t carry a lot. If you’re going to pack more than 12 litres in the main compartment, it’s better to leave the other pockets empty so you’ll fit more. I rate the workmanship at 4.0 and the materials at 3.5. Comfort decreases when carrying more than 9–10 kg. This is a backpack mostly for people who usually pack less than 10 litres but want to have the option to increase capacity. I bought it with intensive outdoor use in mind, although the price is a bit high.

I bought the backpack in 2013 and used it intensively throughout secondary school and my first year of university, walking 8 km to school every day. I only threw it away because I couldn't find anyone to sew in a new zip. The backpack was used in the mountains, on the bike and as everyday gear. For 130 PLN it was a great deal – the durability at this price was really impressive.

The backpack is comfortable, has plenty of space and numerous internal pockets. I recommend it to everyone!

The package arrived two days after ordering. I’ve been using the backpack for a week and I must admit it’s well made and very spacious. I have no complaints. Even when fully packed it’s comfortable to carry. I think it will last a long time. I watched some durability tests on YouTube and it looks very robust. I recommend it.

The backpack is very well balanced in terms of specifications.

Excellent backpack. It is spacious, but not too big.

The backpack is well made, handy and comfortable, offers plenty of pockets and compartments as well as a large capacity. I definitely recommend it!

For me, this backpack is spot on. The large number of pockets allows you to organise the interior perfectly. A huge plus for the possibility of opening it completely, so everything is easily accessible. I highly recommend it!

The backpack looks solid and is heavy enough to show the material is durable. I’ve only just bought it, so it’s hard to judge how long it will last. It has a large capacity. The well-thought-out arrangement of many pockets, compartments, and handles makes organising baggage very easy. The hip and chest straps increase comfort and stability while wearing. I highly recommend it.

Great backpack! Lots of pockets and compartments, plenty of room inside, everything can be organised conveniently and is easy to take out thanks to the well-thought-out layout.

The backpack is durable and well made.

The backpack is spacious and solid. I have no complaints about it.
