I definitely recommend this backpack, especially for air travel—it has the perfect size, is solidly made, and there is no risk of the seams coming apart. The color is also excellent, and as always, shipping is top-notch.
Lightweight backpack featuring a capacity of 20 liters, constructed from highly durable 500D Cordura®. Suitable for daily urban use and tactical operations. The large carrying handle made from 550 paracord ensures comfortable hand carrying.
The main compartment is configured to accommodate a hydration cartridge. It includes a dedicated padded pocket on the back wall for the secure transportation of a laptop. Within the largest compartment is an additional mesh-lined pocket.
The Dust model also includes a smaller front compartment with a map pocket featuring a transparent window and a horizontal mesh pocket. The back of the smaller compartment has a functional organizer for small accessories like a multitool, knife, or pen, with flat pockets beneath for items such as documents.
Front and side panels of the backpack are MOLLE/PALS system compatible, using laser-cut technology, for attaching extra gear. Behind the front MOLLE panel is an additional flat, zippered pocket. The front also includes a Velcro panel for patches and emblems.
Side pockets are designed to hold bottles. The backpack's reliability is ensured by YKK zippers and Duraflex buckles by Woojin. D-Rings on the suspenders and top of the backpack allow for attachment of small items. Compression straps are located on the sides.
The carrying system features contoured suspenders of adjustable length, along with chest and hip belts and additional straps for maintaining stability. The backpack's back utilizes the Combat Vent System for enhanced ventilation, using molded mesh-covered foam and extensive air-supply channels.

This is a well-designed backpack which, after minor modifications, works great for everyday use. It is compact, spacious, provides good back ventilation, and allows for easy customization to your own needs. The build quality, as is typical for Direct Action, is high.
-
Very good backpack, small but well designed. The zippers work smoothly, the material is high quality, and the whole thing is lightweight, perfect for day trips. I definitely recommend it.
-
The backpack is made of high-quality materials. Very meticulous finish. The internal organizers are well thought out and practical. The color is quite vivid, much more pronounced than in the pictures.
-
Works great as an EDC backpack or for short trips. It is solidly made, strong seams, nothing unravels, and using it is very comfortable. The price-to-quality ratio is very attractive.
-
The backpack is very well made and well thought out – there are no unnecessary extras. Although it looks simple, it offers many practical pockets. I use it both in the mountains and at work (it fits a 15.6-inch laptop in the rear H2O pocket), as well as for short trips to the forest. In my opinion, it is worth its price.
-
After a few months of use, I can definitely recommend it. The main compartment is very spacious, while the second is better suited for small items. The shoulder straps are solid and don't loosen. Compared to cheaper backpacks, the difference is noticeable. The back padding is comfortable and soft.
-
For a long time I hesitated before buying because the price of the backpack seemed too high. However, after a few days of use, I appreciate its advantages: it is spacious, well-organized, and comfortable to carry. I think it's worth recommending and I hope it will serve me for a long time.
-
I switched my backpack to this model, previously using a more well-known brand on the Polish market, and the difference in favor of this product is huge – both in terms of comfort and quality. It's a great option for the city and work (it perfectly fits a laptop, documents, electronics), as well as for short trips – it can surprisingly hold a lot. All my everyday things fit easily, and the backpack still looks stylish.
-
The backpack stands out for its very good quality materials, is lightweight and uniquely designed – it offers many compartments, a comfortable carrying system, and a great organizer, which finally allowed me to keep everything in order. The 20-liter capacity can easily be increased by attaching additional equipment. It works well both for shorter treks and for 1-2 day trips. Highly recommended.
-
I recommend this backpack to everyone. Although it costs a lot, it’s worth buying – the material is thick and durable, and the backpack will last many years. It has numerous compartments and fully adjustable straps. I am extremely satisfied with the purchase. If I were to choose a backpack again, I would only go for this model.
-
Delivery is always very fast, which is a big plus of the store. The backpack is compact, neat, and well-made. Although the price is quite high, if it lasts a long time, it’s worth it. The construction of the backpack is well thought out, with a useful organizer inside – ideal for EDC. I was a little surprised by the capacity, as it fits less than the Helikon bag that's 3 liters smaller, but it holds its shape very well and looks attractive.
-
Great backpack. It's sturdy, yet quite lightweight and roomy. It has many compartments, maybe even too many. A 13-inch laptop fits perfectly. The downside is the shoulder straps – they loosen if not fastened with the Velcro, and once fastened, they can chafe your shoulders. I recommend it for short distances, like to a car or to work.
-
The backpack is amazing, solidly made, and worth its price. Shopping at the store went very smoothly – delivery to Ukraine via Nova Poshta, payment on delivery without any additional costs, I paid exactly what was listed in the offer. I am very satisfied with the whole process – thank you!
-
In this version (MK2), the side pockets are tightened with elastics on both sides, while in MK1, one side had a zipper and the other elastics. I was surprised, since on YouTube I only saw the variant with the zipper. The backpack with the laser-cut molle system looks more ordinary, less tactical than classic molle. The admin compartment opens completely without needing to undo the compression straps – awesome. I definitely recommend it!
