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.
Direct Action Spitfire MK II Backpack 12 l - Multicam Tropic
Tactical backpack with a 12-liter capacity, compatible with Spitfire tactical vests, allowing direct attachment to your gear. Made from durable, damage-resistant 500D Cordura and laminate, this pack offers a reliable solution for transporting and storing essential equipment.
Durable 500D Cordura
The model is made of laser-cut laminate and abrasion-resistant, durable 500D Cordura. The backpack’s design does not restrict freedom of movement, and its modular construction allows it to be customized to the user’s needs.
MOLLE system and front velcro panel
It features a spacious main compartment with a two-way zipper. The front pocket is ideal for smaller items, and the side pockets allow you to carry a water bottle or hydration bladder. Inside the main compartment, there is an additional zippered pocket. The front Velcro panel allows for attaching emblems—flags, unit symbols, or so-called morale patches. The backpack is compatible with the Direct Action Spitfire MK II vests and the Spitfire Plate Carrier.
Carrying system
Adjustable shoulder straps allow for a custom fit to the user’s body. Zippers on the sides are used for quick and easy attachment of the backpack to a tactical vest. Precisely laser-cut slots are compatible with the MOLLE system and allow for the attachment of additional gear. Adjustable compression straps with buckles allow you to adjust the backpack’s volume and secure gear to the outside.

MultiCam camouflage
MultiCam Tropic is a version of MultiCam camouflage designed for operations in densely forested environments. It features a range of greens—from bright lime to deep forest hues—providing effective concealment in lush tropical foliage. The pattern was developed to reduce user visibility in both visible and infrared light, making it a highly effective element for camouflage in tropical climates. In Poland, MultiCam Tropic is gaining popularity among military and airsoft enthusiasts for its effective concealment in local forest complexes.

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.
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.
