16-litre backpack from the Wisport brand... The capacity may be sufficient for spending a day or two outdoors. Clever and sturdy bag... the only flaw might be the thinness of the shoulder straps. Despite the excessive length of some straps... it's an item I highly recommend.
Wisport Sparrow 16 l Backpack Olive Green
A handy military backpack in olive green with a capacity of 16 litres. Made from tear and damage-resistant 500D Cordura. The backpack is constructed with one large main compartment and three smaller pockets for small items. Its compact size makes it suitable for everyday use and short outdoor trips.
Thoughtful pocket organisation
The backpack features a large main compartment with a zip closure. Inside, there is a divider for pens, a small pocket for small items, and a hydration bladder compartment with a hose opening. The front part of the flap has a flat pocket similar in size to the main compartment, ideal for storing maps, documents, or keys.
MOLLE/PALS mounting system and straps with buckles
The backpack is finished with external MOLLE/PALS system webbing, allowing for the addition of extra pockets and pouches, facilitating the transport of larger gear. Side straps with certified Duraflex and ITW Nexus buckles enable the attachment of larger items, such as a jacket or sleeping pad. At the top of the backpack is a handy carry handle, making it easier to carry by hand.
ACS carry system
The ACS (Air Comfort System) carry system includes shaped shoulder straps with adjustable length and a chest strap. The upper part of the shoulder straps has buckles for quick removal of the backpack. The back panel is covered with soft, breathable spacer mesh, enhancing air circulation.

+ High quality workmanship. - No practical compartments. - The internal pencil case is poorly designed, pens fall out. - The price is very high. + Product of a Polish brand. + Comfortable to use.

I already have two Wisport backpacks, but I was looking for something smaller that could also fit a 14-inch laptop. This model turned out to be a great choice. It offers many configuration options thanks to the molle attachments, and the build quality is as solid as with every Wisport backpack.
-
The backpack in its basic version is indeed small, but it can easily fit the essentials. Thanks to the MOLLE straps, it can be significantly expanded, for example, by adding Wisport Sparrow side pockets. The materials and workmanship are of a high standard, although in my opinion, the price is quite high – but this is compensated by a 5-year warranty. I think it’s a worthwhile purchase.
-
Wisport is truly a trustworthy brand – when it comes to survival backpacks, I only choose their products. This is my second backpack from this company; I first bought a 40-litre one, and now I’ve also chosen a more compact model. Very solidly made, spacious, and excellently designed.
-
A very practical, compact backpack – ideal for a walking trip to the shops. You can fit documents, EDC gear or a 14-inch laptop. The straps are easily detachable, which means you can attach it to a larger backpack or use it on one shoulder. I removed the hanging straps and unnecessary elements, so it's now better suited to my needs.

The Sparrow 30 served me for eight years of daily use – I carried it to work, shopping, it was often packed to the max, and I even transported 30 kg of stones and tools in it. After all those years, the zip broke and I sent it for repair, and as a new work backpack I chose the smaller model. The material proved to be extremely durable – during normal use there were no damages, the stitching didn’t come apart or need repair, and the inner coating survived not only rain but also many washes. When I picked up the Sparrow 16, I immediately noticed that the quality hadn’t changed – the backpack is very comfortable, the design well thought out, the zips work smoothly, and the lining is pleasant to the touch. Inside you can fit an A4 folder, maybe even something bigger. When you choose a Wisport backpack, other models will probably cease to interest you :)
-
I bought the backpack because of its ideal dimensions, which fit within the requirements for free hand luggage. It's slightly smaller than the allowed limit, so you can easily add an external Mil-tec pocket. For its size, it's quite capacious, and the various pockets allow you to keep contents well-organised. The backpack is solidly made; you can tell it's not a cheap product. I intend to use it for hiking and short trips – I think it will serve me well for many years.
-
I chose the Wisport Sparrow Egg model, but this one also looks interesting. It's compact, sufficient for a full-day outing with light equipment. It has molle straps, so you can easily increase its capacity by adding organisers.
-
This is my second backpack from Wisport and just like the previous one, which survived daily use for ten years and is still in good condition, I am also very satisfied with this one. It is solid, spacious, has many attachment points, and the side straps allow you to fasten really large items.
-
A functional product with a wide range of use (it has the right dimensions as hand luggage for Ryanair flights in the basic fare). Good attachment options both for various accessories (e.g. external bottle), and for attaching the backpack to larger backpacks (not only via the Molle system, but also thanks to the detachable straps). Comfortable to wear, easy to personalise and very simple to use. It would be helpful if the excess adjustment straps (after resizing) could somehow be hidden or tied up. Maybe in the future, there will be an option to mount it on a plate carrier – for example, in cooperation with Direct Action or another Polish company, as some competitors do?
-
As usual with Wisport, the backpack is of excellent quality. It's well made, compact and great for everyday use outside the house, whether it's for going to university or as a small daypack. The option to add extra pockets makes it very versatile. Additionally, the strap design allows you to easily attach it to a larger backpack without having to repack the contents, if you only need the smaller backpack.
-
This is one of Wisport's smaller rucksack models, but it is brilliantly designed and surprisingly spacious for its size. Thanks to the thoughtful layout, you can use every bit of space. The rucksack is lightweight considering the materials used, and the quality of workmanship is flawless. High-quality, reputable components have been used.
-
The backpack is very durable, made from high-quality materials, produced by a Polish brand. I have no complaints – it is spacious for 16 litres, and you can also attach things to the outside. I highly recommend it, it’s a backpack for many years.
-
The perfect rucksack for day trips out of town, but it works even better for everyday use in the city. It's comfortable and made from high-quality materials. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a rucksack for work, school, or short trips.
