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.
Backpack with a 20-liter capacity, characterized by its lightness. Made from exceptionally durable 500D Cordura®. It is perfect for both daily urban use and tactical operations. A large transport handle made of paracord 550 allows for easy carrying by hand.
Main compartment adapted for carrying a hydration insert. Carrying a laptop in a cushioned pocket placed on the back wall of the main compartment ensures safety. Inside the largest compartment, there is an additional pocket partially made of mesh.
The Dust model also includes a smaller front compartment, which has a map pocket with a transparent window and a horizontal pocket made of mesh. On the back wall of the smaller compartment, there is an organizer for smaller accessories such as a multitool or knife. Below it are flat pockets designed for documents, for example.
On the front and sides of the backpack, there are panels adapted to the MOLLE/PALS system made with laser-cut technology, allowing for the attachment of additional equipment. Behind the front MOLLE panel, there is another flat pocket with a zipper. The front also features a velcro panel for attaching patches and emblems.
Bottles can be carried in appropriate side pockets. The use of YKK brand zippers and Duraflex buckles from Woojin ensures reliability. D-Rings on the straps and top of the backpack allow for the attachment of various useful items. Compression straps are located on the sides.
The carrying system consists of profiled straps with adjustable length, complemented by chest and waist straps, stabilizing the position of the backpack. The back wall of the backpack constructed under the Combat Vent System provides better ventilation thanks to the use of profiled foam covered with mesh and numerous air channels.

MultiCam Camouflage
MultiCam is a state-of-the-art camouflage pattern developed in 2002 by US company Crye Precision in cooperation with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior program. Its goal was to create a versatile camouflage pattern that is effective in varied terrain and changing environmental conditions. The MultiCam pattern consists of seven colors, creating gradient transitions between shades of green, brown and beige. As a result, it dynamically adapts to the background, adopting shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert regions - in Central and Eastern European environments, it works particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained worldwide recognition and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially adopted by the US Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, replacing the earlier Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilian users, making it a popular choice among military or airsoft enthusiasts.

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!
