The larger compartment features an additional flat zippered pocket, ideal for smaller items. The smaller compartment includes a flat pocket and two mesh pockets, facilitating organization and quick access to smaller items.
There are two additional pockets on the front of the backpack - a lower, larger one and an upper, smaller one - designed for small accessories. The lower pocket is equipped with an organizer for documents and keys, while the upper one 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 designed for a hydration bladder. It allows for convenient storage of water, ensuring quick access to hydration without having to remove bottles. This pocket is discreetly located and well-secured, which protects the bladder from damage while moving through the terrain.
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 attachment system – straps on the front and sides of the backpack allow for attaching additional gear. D-rings on the shoulder straps allow for attaching additional tactical accessories.
Compression straps and size adjustment
The Recon 25L is equipped with compression straps, which allow you to adjust the backpack’s size to 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 neat appearance, even when partially loaded.

At this price, the number of compartments makes it a leader. The downside is the metal elements near the zippers, which make noise – they used to be just cords with plastic ends. This can be solved by cutting off the metal pieces and attaching cords directly to the zippers, as was done in the past. Thanks to this, the backpack becomes almost silent when worn, just like my previous model. My old one served me for over 7 years, but it started to wear out and I'm afraid it might tear when fully loaded.
-
This backpack has proven to be excellent. It has many pockets, which allow me to carry a variety of items. There is also space for a Camelback system. The backpack can be adjusted at the lumbar region and on the chest, so it fits perfectly on the back. I fully recommend it to other users.
-
Very good, it has many small pockets, which makes it easier to keep things organized. Two spacious compartments. In my opinion, it is suitable for women, older girls, and boys. I definitely recommend it.
-
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.
-
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.
