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.
Badger Outdoor Recon Backpack 25 l - wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
A patrol backpack with a capacity of 25 l, excellent for both tourism and survival, as well as for everyday urban use. The carrying system with contoured shoulder straps, a waist belt, and fastex quick-release buckles ensures comfort while carrying. Four pockets, two compartments, and MOLLE webbing system enable easy organization and expansion of gear.
Convenient storage system - 2 main compartments and numerous pockets
The Recon 25L has four main pockets, allowing for optimal luggage organization. Two compartments are large enough to accommodate a sleeping bag, food, or clothes. The larger compartment includes an additional flat pocket for smaller items, secured by a zipper. The smaller compartment features a flat pocket and two mesh pockets facilitating organization and quick finding of small items.
Two pockets on the front of the backpack – a larger lower one and a smaller upper one – are designed for small gear items. The lower pocket has an organizer for documents and keys, while the upper one is suitable for carrying a phone, glasses, or navigation.
Special pocket for hydration system
On the exterior, back part of the backpack is a velcro-closed compartment designated for a hydration bladder. It allows for convenient transportation of a water supply, ensuring quick access to hydration without reaching for bottles. This pocket is discreetly placed and well-protected, safeguarding the bladder from damage during marches and challenging field activities.
High-quality zippers and MOLLE webbing system
All backpack pockets are closed with thick, spiral zippers with double sliders, allowing for smooth and quick opening.
The backpack also features a MOLLE webbing system – straps on the front and sides of the backpack enable the attachment of additional gear. D-rings placed on the shoulder straps allow for the attachment of tactical elements.
Compression straps and capacity adjustment
The Recon 25L allows adjusting the external size to the contents through compression straps located on both sides, the bottom, and top. Shortening the straps enables flattening the backpack, which helps maintain its stability and neat appearance, even when the compartments are partially empty.
Contoured shoulder straps with quick-release option, detachable waist belt
The backpack features an advanced carrying system, providing comfort and stability. Contoured shoulder straps end with fastex quick-detach buckles – QD (Quick Detachment), allowing for quick backpack release if needed. Shoulder strap adjustment ensures a fit to the silhouette, with additional support offered by a chest strap and a detachable waist belt, facilitating stable carrying of heavier loads.
Camouflage pattern wz.93 "Pantera"
The wz.93 "Pantera" camouflage pattern is currently used in the Polish Armed Forces, designed and introduced for general use in the Third Polish Republic. The 1993 pattern offers mimetic and deforming properties through irregularly sized splotches. The color scheme combining green, brown, and black makes Pantera a suitable camouflage for Polish forests. Uniforms in this camouflage are also essential for students of Military Uniformed Classes.

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.
-
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.
