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.

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.

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.
