A great backpack, but ultimately not for me. It's quite a large model, and next to it the Wisport Sparrow 303, despite having the same capacity, looks much more proportionate, which is why I chose that one. I guess I'd rather look like a Glovo courier than the Hunchback of Notre Dame :D The backpack itself is, however, refined in practically every respect — it only lost out because of its size and lower compactness compared to the Wisport: - comfortable handle, - better organiser, - excellent zips, probably YKK, - a safer laptop compartment positioned against the back, and the top zip is more convenient, - interesting Molle hook-and-loop attachment, - the Cordura feels nicer to the touch and less stiff. The glasses pocket is fine, although probably more suited to military-style eyewear. The weight is a bit higher, but that's presumably due to the better hardware. Even so, the size of this backpack for 30 litres disappointed me. I also had the impression that it was less spacious than the Wisport. Even a 50% higher price would have been acceptable to me, because the carrying comfort — looking at the hip belt and back system — is definitely better (this is where Wisport has something to be ashamed of). I deliberately chose the black version, hoping it would look visually smaller, but that made no difference. What's worse, every speck of dust is very visible on it. And here again, the grey Wisport wins. If someone doesn't mind its bulk — which in practice is mainly a problem in civilian use — then I can confidently recommend it. It's just a shame that it's made in Vietnam rather than in Poland like Wisport.
Direct Action Dragon Egg Enlarged Backpack 30 l - Ranger Green
A backpack with a 30-liter capacity in Ranger Green, this is an enlarged version of the Dragon Egg model – the Dragon Egg Enlarged. Made from 500D Cordura, it offers enhanced resistance to tearing and abrasion. Designed for versatile use, it’s ideal for trekking, hiking, tactical operations, and everyday situations. The large main compartment, along with multiple pockets and well-organized dividers, makes it easy to arrange and access your gear.
The construction uses durable Cordura, increasing resistance to mechanical factors
Durable 500D Cordura is used for the construction. This material shows high resistance to mechanical damage, such as wear and tear, which significantly extends the lifespan of the backpack during intensive use in the field.
A spacious main compartment and practical pockets allow for easy access to carried equipment
This model features two hydration bladder pockets - one in the main compartment and another in a zippered back pocket, adapted with a special sleeve to also carry a radio or a 15” laptop. The front pocket, almost as large as the main compartment, includes a simple organizer and a mesh pocket. Side pockets are designed for carrying flat or small items and, when unzippered, expand to fit a bottle or similar object.
The design incorporates a MOLLE system and a front velcro panel, allowing for customization and expansion of the backpack
The backpack's exterior features a laser-cut MOLLE/PALS-compatible system. Its unique shape makes it more compact than other backpacks with a similar capacity, making it easier to use with ballistic vests or belt gear. Compression straps with snap buckles let you adjust the size based on your gear and attach additional equipment. D-rings allow you to quickly connect extra accessories.
The backpack is equipped with two-way YKK zippers and robust Duraflex WooJin buckles, ensuring durability even in demanding conditions
Two-way YKK zippers make the pack simple to operate in challenging situations. Duraflex WooJin buckles offer mechanical durability, and the velcro panel allows for easy customization with patches.
The carrying system provides comfort during extended use by stabilizing the load in a range of conditions
The carrying system features an internal back stiffener and comfortable, padded shoulder straps. The removable hip belt also works great as a tactical belt—additional included straps let you adapt the carrying system as needed. The carry handle is made from paracord, which can be quickly unraveled into 5.5 meters of cord in an emergency.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
YKK zippers are high-quality zippers commonly used in clothing and accessories, manufactured by the Japanese YKK Corporation - one of the world's largest zipper manufacturers.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
Woojin buckles are a type of buckles and fasteners made of high-quality materials such as polyamide or polypropylene, which ensures durability and weather resistance. They are widely used in the manufacture of backpacks, bags, clothing and tactical gear, providing sturdy, reliable and easy-to-use fasteners.
LCS (Laser Cut System) is a new version of the assembly used in the MOLLE system, where instead of traditional tapes, laser-cut holes are used directly in the material. The system is much lighter than standard sewn-on PALS tapes and guarantees better camouflage. The holes are hemmed with thread to prevent fuzzing and ripping, or, as in the case of Cordura, the laser-cut edges are fused.

Spacious and well compartmentalized; ideal for work and trips lasting a few days. The fastening systems are very durable, and the back panel is well ventilated.
-
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.

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.
