The 65L Cooper from Brandit is, in theory, a good backpack with plenty of storage space. However, in practice it is unusable. The straps are far too wide and sewn much too close together. They constantly dig into the neck, and the straps cause severe shoulder pain. Because of the straps, you also end up walking more hunched over so it hurts less, and over time your back starts to hurt as well.
Brandit US Cooper XL Backpack 65 l - Black
Expansive tactical backpack featuring a 65-liter capacity, crafted from durable, tear-resistant polyester. It boasts a PVC coating inside to provide excellent protection against moisture. Ideal for tactical, survival, and everyday use. With a dual-chamber design and multiple pockets, including one designed for the installation of a hydration system, it ensures efficient organization and transport of gear.
Two compartments, pocket for hydration system
The backpack has 2 compartments, a larger and a smaller one, both of which are equipped with organisers and zip closures that allow for wide opening and easy access to the interior. Additional accessories can be stored in the 2 front pockets, the lower larger one is equipped with an organiser for small items. On the back, there is a concealed Velcro-closed pocket designed for the hydration system.
Carrying system with chest and hip strap
The carry system features wide, adjustable shoulder straps, along with a hip and chest strap to ensure even weight distribution and enhance comfort on challenging terrain. Foam padding covered with breathable mesh adorns the shoulder straps and back section of the backpack, offering comfort and improved airflow during use.
MOLLE/PALS system, compression straps, D-rings
MOLLE/PALS system webbing is placed on the front and sides of the backpack, allowing for the attachment of extra gear. Additionally, the backpack includes compression straps, suitable for securing larger items like a sleeping bag or pad.

Review summary
The backpacks are spacious, well-made, and durable, offering a comfortable carrying system and numerous practical compartments. Users highlight comfort, even under heavier loads, great organization, and the option to personalize with the Molle system. Suitable for both outdoor adventures and daily use, they can feel oversized for shorter users, and the lack of a frame may be noticeable with heavy loads. There are occasional remarks about color differences and zipper systems. Overall, the products receive very positive value-for-money ratings.

A bit disappointed with the backpack—the main strap was on the verge of snapping as early as the second use, and the loose straps undo themselves. The backpack has weight distribution issues; after both outings I ended up with my neck, shoulders, and back wrecked with loads of 15 and 20 kilos respectively. I understand that the affordable price matches the backpack’s lack of quality, but being unable to handle moderate loads for a 65-liter pack is frustrating. On the positive side, though, it does have good pocket organization and 6 loose straps.

The backpack looks very good, it is large and exceptionally spacious. I appreciate the option to expand it, and thanks to its simple and intuitive adjustment, it fits excellently on the back. It also offers plenty of options for organising the space, and the well-thought-out layout of the compartments makes it easy to sort your belongings conveniently.

The backpack is spacious, and the large pocket opens like a rolling suitcase. It has rain protection. The camouflage color, “Pantera,” matches ground forces equipment perfectly.

A very spacious and well-compartmentalized backpack. With a capacity of 65L, it does add up to quite a bit of weight. For rain protection, I ordered a separate rain cover from Highlander. It covers the entire backpack.

Everything is great, I’m super satisfied, it looks good, the color is great, everything is exactly as described, fast delivery, and the quality is awesome too!!! I would definitely place the order again! 100 points!!!👍😎

A really spacious bag with good quality. For the price, it's pretty hard to beat! Admittedly, it's not the absolute best in terms of materials and finish, but objectively this bag is well worth it.
-
The backpack is gigantic you can fit a ton of stuff on it, literally days worth of gear and stuff, but it is also really uncomfortable. Is it worth it? for backpacking not really but if you are going to car camp or just leave this at base camp after a short walk then it is a real life saver.

The Brandit US Cooper XL 65L backpack in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland is a larger version of the 40L model from the same brand. I feel that it might not be as comfortable as the smaller model. I haven't tested it yet on longer trips, but my first impression concerns the straps, which may be uncomfortable. The backpack has a very large capacity – unlike the smaller one, here you can easily fit a small tent, sleeping bag, and other items in the main compartment. It’s not the best choice for long trips, but for carrying a larger load on shorter routes, it should do the job.

The backpack is great in terms of value for money. It's solid, spacious, and easily fits a sleeping bag, mat, and other essentials. The straps are comfortable. I bought it for my daughter for field classes and she is very satisfied. I recommend this product.

The backpack is well-suited for hiking, trips, and carrying a large amount of gear. 65 liters is more than enough—you can easily arrange your clothes, sleeping bag, first aid kit, and other items without constantly running out of space. The material is dense, the backpack looks sturdy, and the seams and zippers are neatly done. The straps are quite comfortable, and the waist belt helps better distribute the weight during long carries. The MOLLE straps add practicality if you need to attach extra pouches or gear. The Olive color is versatile and doesn't get dirty easily. As a downside, for the city or short trips, the backpack already feels noticeably large and bulky.
-
The backpack is very well made and much bigger than you might expect. It can really fit everything you need. If someone needs a very large backpack, this model will be an excellent option. An additional advantage is the good arrangement of small pockets for odds and ends. At a height of 186 cm, the backpack covers the entire back, but there will certainly be no shortage of space in it.

A well-made backpack. It is spacious and comfortable. It has many practical pockets. The carrying system ensures comfortable wear. The price is attractive and the delivery was the very next day. I recommend it.

I used the product for two years before the straps started to fray. The waterproof lining stopped working after just six months, once it crumbled. The first buckle broke within the first month, and the last one broke before a year was up. After two years, the backpack can no longer be repaired. Time to try a product from another company.

The backpack is very spacious and has many different pockets. It easily fits everything you need for a Sunday match, such as a tactical vest, helmets, or even a small replica submachine gun (my P90 without a silencer fits perfectly in height). Thanks to this, you can go to a match without having to take additional bags. I definitely recommend it.
