This is one of my less successful purchases - the material is stiff, the zippers are hard to open, and the external pockets are tight and impractical due to the covered zippers, which are difficult to open. Only the main compartment meets my expectations, which is why I cannot recommend this product.
Badger Outdoor Hilltop Black Backpack 55 l
Backpack with a 55-liter capacity, perfect for hiking and survival. Constructed from waterproof material, it safeguards contents from light rain. The fabric is also abrasion-resistant, enhancing the backpack's durability. Featuring an ergonomic carrying system with adjustable suspenders and a hip and chest belt, it ensures exceptional comfort. Multiple pockets, a spacious main compartment, and the MOLLE webbing system simplify organization and allow for gear expansion.
Capacious main compartment and pocket system
The backpack is equipped with a spacious main compartment, featuring a flat pocket secured by a Velcro strap, which is perfect for safeguarding valuable items. Additionally, the backpack includes two smaller pockets on the front and two side pockets, ideal for carrying water bottles. Furthermore, a chimney on top of the main compartment enhances the backpack's capacity. The compartment is fastened with a flap that is secured by two fastex buckles. The flap also contains a pocket for accessories.
Compression straps and attachment system
The backpack features compression straps on the flap, bottom, and sides. These straps enable you to adjust the backpack's capacity or secure additional outdoor items like a jacket, sleeping pad, or camouflage net. A velcro panel on the front allows for the attachment of patches or emblems such as the national flag, unit emblem, or Morale Patches.
Carrying system with chest strap and hip belt
The carrying system consists of soft, adjustable harnesses, which provide comfort while the hip belt and chest strap help to carry a full backpack stably.

This 55-liter backpack really surprised me. I think it's the best choice at this price. It's sturdy, spacious, with plenty of room inside and outside for gear. A big plus is the collar that increases capacity. I'm really satisfied and recommend it 100%.
-
Very well fitted, easy to adjust, very roomy and practical – at least for my needs. The material protects against light rain. I rate the price-to-quality ratio at 5/5.
-
I had this backpack a few years ago and returned it because I was looking for something bigger. Even then, I thought it was a very good model, so a year ago I decided to buy it again. The backpack looks good and solid. I am satisfied with the purchase.
-
Compared to the price, it's a good choice. The quality is average, but it won't break right away. The carrying system is quite simple with limited adjustment, but it does its job. The straps allow for additional attachments. The side pockets work great for a poncho but not so much for a bottle.
-
I have to admit, this backpack pleasantly surprised me – for this price, it has a really good carrying system, soft straps, and a wide range of adjustments.
-
It seems solid and durable. If you add the side pockets, you can get a very spacious and convenient set. The price is unbeatable.
-
I chose this backpack as a BOB – it was supposed to be inexpensive and have about 50 liters of capacity, which it does. Other than that, it doesn't stand out, and some solutions, like the shoulder strap adjusters being "self-facing," are unusual. It looks like it was modeled after a tactical backpack, but not everything was copied well. The hip belt is rather narrow, so I don't recommend it for long hikes. In general, the backpack is meant to be ready, not for regular use – if it's never needed, that's fine. For this price, it's okay.
-
The backpack is spacious and functional, but the side pockets are not very practical – that's the only minor downside.
-
The product makes a very good impression in terms of workmanship, but compared to other backpacks, the capacity seems to be less than the declared 55 liters.
-
I recommend this backpack. I've been using it for two years, and it still works perfectly.
-
Decent equipment, I recommend it.
-
The backpack looks good and is carefully made, but its design could be better. When loaded heavily, the straps dig into the chest. To fit well, it needs to be loaded to at least 3/4 of its capacity. The zippers could also be of better quality. All in all, for people with low requirements and occasional use, it will be fine, but for more frequent users I would recommend something more high-end.
-
Great backpack. Very well made and very roomy. The price is appropriate for the quality. I highly recommend it.
-
An outstanding backpack at a great price. Perfect for a multi-day trip to the forest. I really like it and definitely recommend it.
