I bought the olive-colored bag from Militaria seven years ago, and I use it mainly outdoors about once or twice a month, so it has been used intensively during that time. My assessment is definitely positive. So far, nothing on it has been damaged. I recommend both this bag and this store.

This isn't the first bag I've bought from this manufacturer. I've bought other products from them, too. I've been choosing Helikon-Tex products for several years and have never regretted it. The bag is very spacious and convenient. When folded, it takes up almost no space. The material, zippers, and workmanship are excellent. The price and range of colors leave no doubt that it's worth buying. I recommend it.

A well-made bag. I’ve had it for quite a while and I carry both heavier and lighter items in it. So far, neither the material nor the zippers have been damaged. The number of pockets is small, but entirely sufficient. I recommend it.
-
The bag is extremely convenient; everything is well thought out, with nothing unnecessary, and it is very well made. It is spacious enough both for everyday items and for small bushcraft trips. But in my opinion, a small carrying handle would be useful. I recommend it.
-
Great bag — lightweight and, for its weight, also sturdy and very roomy. For me, it has completely replaced all Jumbo, Fatboy, and similar models because it weighs less while holding noticeably more at the same time. Recently in Greece, some lady from the United Kingdom asked her husband, “What’s that cool bag that guy has?”, and he replied, “It’s probably some kind of military bag, likely used by the services.” Hehe.

Great bag, good quality and very functional with plenty of room for everything you need. Very good service and delivery from seller. Thoroughly recommend both product and seller.
-
A very pleasant and inexpensive bag. It has a sturdy strap and strong fasteners. Although the material is not thick, it seems durable. I only miss a small side pocket on the outside. Overall, I recommend this product.
-
The bag is fantastic, highly recommend it. It is very well sewn, made of durable material, and has strong zippers. It is waterproof on both sides, and after washing, it doesn't deform or fade. Inside, there are practical pockets for bottles and small items. I recommend it to everyone for everyday use, work, shopping, and travel.
-
The bag is made of high-quality materials. I use it every day at work and it fulfills its purpose perfectly. Both the workmanship and materials are solid. The zippers work smoothly and do not get stuck. I definitely recommend it.
-
The bag is solidly made, durable, lightweight, and comfortable to use. A great advantage is that it can be folded to compact dimensions. You can easily carry heavier items in it as well. I definitely recommend it.
-
A very functional, solid, and comfortable bag. You can really pack a lot of things in it, and it easily fits enough clothes for a short trip. I take it on all my journeys. I bought another one in the olive version—it stands out less than flecktarn. I sincerely recommend it; you will definitely be satisfied.

The bag is lightweight and spacious. It also works well as carry-on luggage when flying. You can pack a lot of things in it for sightseeing – it fits a camera, binoculars, water, multitool, flashlight, Kindle e-reader, music player with a DAC and headphones, and many other small items. It is bigger, more flexible, and definitely lighter than the jumbo-type bags available on the market.
-
The bag is really spacious, and when empty it's flat and doesn't get in the way. You can easily fold it to a small size and put it in your backpack, so you have it handy if you later need a durable and large transport bag. In my opinion, it's a very practical solution. The zipper and other elements seem solid and made of good quality materials. I don't quite understand why the strap is detachable with buckles – maybe it's Helikon's system that allows attachment of the bag to a backpack.
-
Very satisfied with this satchel. It offers lots of storage space and is extremely practical to use. The material feels high-quality and durable, exactly what you expect from Helikon-Tex. Shipping was fast and the price was very good. Highly recommended!

This is a great quality bag for bushcraft day trips or basic overnighters. Getting Groceries or hike in the city. It does the trick. Durable and good quality like we know from other Helikon Tex products.
