The backpack is great, both in terms of build quality and materials used (although the cost is also high). It fits perfectly as an addition to the Direct Action Halifax backpack, unlike side pockets from other companies – for example, the Wisport Sparrow didn’t fit and I had to return it. The price is very high, which may be discouraging, but it’s hard to find other alternatives. Overall, despite the price, I am satisfied with the purchase.

MultiCam Camouflage
MultiCam is a modern camouflage created in 2002 by the American company Crye Precision in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as part of the Objective Force Warrior project. Its goal was to develop a universal camouflage pattern, effective in various conditions and terrains. The MultiCam pattern contains seven colors, creating gradient transitions between green, brown, and beige. Thanks to this, it dynamically adapts to the background, taking on shades of green in forested areas or browns and beiges in desert areas - in the environment of Central and Eastern Europe, it performs particularly well in autumn and among dry vegetation. MultiCam has gained recognition worldwide and is used by numerous armed forces and special units. In 2010, the camouflage was officially accepted by the U.S. Army as the camouflage pattern for soldiers in Afghanistan, replacing the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). This pattern is also available to civilians, making it a popular choice among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

A backpack of very good quality. It works great with a plate carrier, because traditional backpacks with shoulder straps are uncomfortable to wear in that setup. It’s worth buying the spitfire vest comfort pads as well – I recommend this solution.

The backpack is fine. Although it has a capacity of 12L, thanks to the thoughtful compartments and additional pockets, it is much more practical. Unfortunately, when you attach it to a plate carrier, the plastic YKK zippers turn out to be not very durable – it was enough to catch it on a branch during a march and one zipper broke, which I only noticed after several hours. On one hand, this is a drawback, but on the other, it shows how lightweight the backpack is to carry.
