High quality, very comfortable with different weights. It is visible that a lot of attention and thoughts were invested in the making and design of this backpack. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend.
Dragon Egg Enlarged is a larger version of the classic Dragon Egg backpack, with a capacity of 30 liters. It is a patrol model that performs well both during tactical operations and in everyday use. It features two special hydration cartridge pockets – one located in the main compartment and another in the rear closable pocket. Thanks to a special sleeve, the rear pocket can also be used to safely carry a radio or a 15-inch laptop.
The front pocket, similar in size to the main compartment, includes a simple organizer and a mesh pocket, making it easy to arrange gear. Side pockets are designed for storing flat and small items, but when unzipped, they expand to accommodate a Nalgene bottle.
The backpack is covered with a laser-cut MOLLE/PALS system, allowing for easy attachment of additional gear. Its compact shape gives it smaller dimensions than other backpacks of similar capacity, making it more convenient to use in combination with a ballistic vest and tactical belt.
The carrying system is equipped with internal back stiffeners for increased comfort. Wide, soft shoulder straps ensure comfort even during prolonged use, and an additional quick-release system allows them to be detached in seconds if necessary. The carrying handle is made of durable paracord, which can be unraveled in an emergency to form a 5.5-meter utility cord.
Additional features include two-way YKK zippers, side and bottom compression straps with buckles, and 12 x 8 cm Velcro for customization. The Duraflex - WooJin buckles ensure durability and reliability even in harsh conditions.

Tragedy. For a backpack that costs nearly a thousand zlotys, I expected high quality. Unfortunately, after rather careful use (events, small shopping trips), after only a year and a half, a strap began to detach and the main zipper stopped working. Even a fake Swiss Gear from China was more durable and cost three times less. I'm waiting for the manufacturer's reaction to my complaint, but I thought that at this price I would receive something sturdier. I am very disappointed.

I'm delighted. This is probably the best backpack I've ever seen. It has everything this size should have. This model has been expanded to 30 liters. The roomy interior allows you to organize the space well, and also to add your own accessories—extra pockets, holders, straps, elastics, etc. The only inconvenience is that mounting is a bit harder without a strap system, but it’s not a big problem when used longer. The backpack is carefully made and makes a great first impression.

Since I bought this backpack, I've walked about 200 km with it. I have used it really intensively and haven't held back. Advantages: - Very durable, solid backpack. - Comfortable, soft straps. - Interesting color scheme (shadow grey) Disadvantages: - The biggest downside is the inner pockets and organizer located in the upper parts of the compartments, which makes putting in and taking out larger items (e.g. mess kit, spare food, poncho) very inconvenient. - The declared capacity of 30 liters seems a bit "on paper" because larger items push out the inside, leaving less space in the second compartment. - Strap adjustment lasts for about an hour of brisk walking, then you have to adjust them again.

Previously, I had the MK2 model with a 25-liter capacity. Now, I chose this 30-liter backpack. It looks really good and is solidly made. The shadow grey color is great for urban use. The backpack is quite heavy, but the quality of workmanship makes up for it.

Reliable, solid, and well-designed backpack. It's perfect as an EDC, and packing for a few days' trip with it is a real pleasure. Definitely worth the price, as it's an investment for many years. It looks great, and in black color, it subtly hides its tactical character.

Good morning, the backpack is solid and definitely worth recommending! The number of compartments and the quality of the materials are impressive. You can feel its weight, but that’s a small thing compared to my overall rating, which is 5!

Buying this backpack brought me great joy. The quality, durability, and ergonomics exceeded my expectations, and the workmanship is of a very high standard. The price isn’t low, but in my opinion, the backpack is worth every penny. It is quite stiff, so it needs a little time to adapt. I’ve been using it daily for a long time and the only sign of wear is dust (because it’s black). Lots of possibilities for personalization with accessories if you want. The carrying system is excellent – even with a 10-12 kg load, I feel like I’m only carrying five. So far, I see no flaws. I highly recommend it.
-
A great backpack for everyday carrying—it also works well at the shooting range and on short trips. I definitely recommend it.
-
The backpack is fantastic! I wanted plenty of pockets and compartments inside – this model met my expectations. Made from strong materials and very well stitched! The backpack has already been tested – it doesn’t leak, but it’s worth applying extra waterproofing. In my opinion, the price is entirely justified!

A great backpack for everyday use.
-
The price matches the quality, the backpack is very spacious and comfortable to carry.

Great materials, sturdy fastenings, and careful craftsmanship; the backpack is comfortable to wear and very spacious, with many compartments and pockets. An interesting feature is the detachable hip belt, which can be easily removed when not needed.

It's difficult to judge how long the backpack will last right now—time will tell. At this moment, I am very satisfied with the quality of workmanship, everything is well-made, and the backpack fits perfectly on my back. It has many pockets and compartments. Additionally, it features a reinforced laptop compartment, which is a big plus. It's perfect for traveling, on hiking trips, as well as for everyday use in the city.
