A practical and comfortable backpack with many pockets. For me, there are a bit too many, but that's the model I chose, even though I don't need so many compartments. The material is durable, and the craftsmanship is of high quality. The backpack seems to be very sturdy.
Badger Outdoor Recon Backpack 25 l Coyote
A patrol backpack with a capacity of 25 liters, designed for versatile use – from tourism and survival to everyday urban use. Comfort is ensured by a carrying system with contoured shoulder straps, a hip belt and Fastex quick-release buckles, which significantly improve wearing comfort. Four pockets, two main compartments and a MOLLE strapping system make it easy to organize and increase the functionality of the backpack.
Convenient storage system - 2 main compartments, numerous pockets
The Recon 25L model has four main pockets that allow for perfect equipment distribution. Two compartments are designed for larger items such as a sleeping bag, food or clothing. The larger compartment has an additional flat zippered pocket, ideal for smaller items. The smaller compartment has a flat pocket and two mesh pockets for easy organization and quick access to smaller items.
There are two additional pockets on the front of the backpack - a larger lower pocket and a smaller upper pocket - designed for small accessories. The lower pocket has a document and key organizer, while the upper pocket is perfect for carrying a phone, glasses or navigation devices.
Dedicated pocket for Hydration System
On the back of the backpack there is a Velcro-fastened compartment for a hydration bladder. It allows you to conveniently store water, ensuring quick access to hydration without having to take out bottles. This pocket is discreetly located and well secured, protecting the insert from damage when moving around in the field.
Robust Zips, MOLLE System, d-rings
All pockets in the backpack are closed with thick, spiral zippers with double sliders, which guarantees their smooth operation and durability.
The backpack is also equipped with a MOLLE strapping system – straps on the front and sides of the backpack allow you to attach additional equipment. D-rings on the shoulder straps allow you to attach additional tactical accessories.
Compression straps and size adjustment
The Recon 25L features compression straps that allow the backpack to be sized to fit its contents. These straps are located on the sides, bottom and top of the backpack, allowing it to be flattened for better stability and a neater look, even when partially loaded.
Profiled self-detachable shoulder straps, detachable waist belt
The backpack is equipped with an advanced carrying system that offers both comfort and stability. Contoured shoulder straps paired with Fastex QD (Quick Detachment) buckles enable you to swiftly remove the backpack when needed. Additionally, the shoulder straps can be adjusted to ensure an ideal fit, while the chest strap and removable hip belt enhance comfort when carrying heavier loads.

Very good backpack at a good price. Solid finishing, numerous pockets and compartments, large capacity, yet it remains small thanks to the tightening straps.
-
First, I bought the Badger Outdoor Recon 25 l Coyote backpack for my fiancée as a carry-on for the plane, but I liked it so much that now I have my own as well. It's great that you can compress this backpack any way you like. I definitely recommend it.
-
I use the backpack daily; it’s very roomy with lots of pockets and compartments. The waist belt could be longer. I had trouble adjusting the rear straps. For this price, it’s really a great backpack for everyday use and short trips.
-
A good backpack for everyday use due to its size. Unfortunately, after a few days the seams in the top external pocket came apart (there was only a wallet inside). I didn't consider it a reason for a complaint, even though I've only used it for a short time and have no other complaints. We'll see how it holds up over time.
-
I bought it recently—it looks good, at first glance it's solidly made and has lots of pockets. I'll find out about its durability during use. I recommend it—worth it for the price.
-
The price-quality ratio is good. The backpack is spacious, but the rating drops due to the straps being too narrow. Also, the straps tend to curl up when putting it on, as they are not attached to the belts.
-
I bought this backpack with hunting in mind and it's very comfortable to carry on the back. I didn't know that the straps are not sewn along their entire length, which allows attaching the backpack to a vest instead of carrying it on the back. The capacity fully meets my needs for hunting, and if necessary, it can also serve as a children's backpack. I am very satisfied with the purchase.
-
Average backpack—a lot of straps that you have to adjust every time, which isn't very practical. I bought it because it was cheap, but it doesn’t impress.
-
The backpack is of very poor quality, after two years of use it starts to break – the straps snap, the rubber inside crumbles, and the material gets damaged. I had two backpacks from this company and both broke in a similar way. It's suitable at most for occasional use.
-
The backpack met my expectations. Good price-to-quality ratio. Spacious, comfortable, strong zippers, and interesting camouflage. Badger positively surprises me as a high-level Polish manufacturer.
-
The backpack is generally okay, although it has a few unusual features. It looks good and holds a lot of items despite its compact size. Unfortunately, after a few weeks, the inner layer began to peel off, as someone else already mentioned – I can confirm this. However, the outer material is solid. The straps have various lengths – some are too long, others too short. The backpack fits well, is lightweight, and the price is attractive on promotion, but I wouldn’t recommend it at a higher price.
-
After a year of use, the backpack started peeling inside. The material has become very thin in those areas. I definitely do not recommend it for survival, unless for a one-time trip.
-
This is my second backpack of this type. I used the first one every day for 7 years. The backpack is small but roomy and has well-designed pockets. The chest and hip straps could be a little longer. I rate it very well.
-
This backpack turned out to be amazing. Lots of pockets make it easy to carry various things. The option to mount a Camelback system and adjustment near the lumbar and chest area makes the backpack fit perfectly to the body. I definitely recommend it.
