The Helikon-Tex backpack looks even better than in the photos, feels very solidly made, and works well both on a vest and as an additional pack for a tactical backpack.
A backpack with a 7.5-liter capacity that can be directly attached to the Guardian Plate Carrier tactical vest. Crafted from durable and damage-resistant nylon, it offers a space to carry and store essential gear.
Featuring a spacious main compartment secured with a two-way zipper, its interior is lined with soft Velcro, allowing for the attachment of extra accessories. A front pocket is designed for smaller items.
Adjustable shoulder straps make it user-friendly, while rear straps allow the backpack to attach to a tactical vest. The front and sides incorporate the MOLLE system, enabling additional pouch attachments. Adjustable straps with buckles aid in compressing the backpack's volume, making it easier to manage gear outdoors. A shock cord underneath offers extra carrying capacity.
A Velcro panel on the front provides the option to attach emblems, such as national flags, unit symbols, or Morale Patches.

Camouflage MultiCam
MultiCam is an advanced camouflage design created in 2002 by Crye Precision, a US company, in collaboration with the United States Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs) as a part of the Objective Force Warrior program. The aim was to develop a versatile camouflage that performs effectively in diverse terrains and fluctuating environmental circumstances. The MultiCam design incorporates seven colors to produce smooth transitions among green, brown, and beige hues. This enables it to adapt dynamically to various backgrounds, reflecting green tones in wooded landscapes or browns and beiges in arid areas. In Central and Eastern European settings, it excels in the autumn and within dried vegetation. MultiCam has achieved global acclaim and is employed by numerous military forces and special units. In 2010, it was officially adopted by the US Army as the standard camouflage for soldiers deployed in Afghanistan, replacing the previous Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). The pattern is also available to civilians, making it a favored option among military and airsoft enthusiasts.

Exelent small backback. Easy to put in to plate Carrier back side and works great with about 1,5L hydration bladder. Molle atachments makes it easy to customise backback to your own needs. Great quality/cost rate.
-
I bought it as an accessory for my Multicam Black gear. It's not too big, but you can carry a water bottle and a few small items in it. Its advantage is that it can be easily connected to the Helikon-Tex 'Training Mini Rig.'
-
The backpack is solidly made from durable materials; it can be attached to any vest with a MOLLE system on the back. It is comfortable to carry and has an appropriate number of well-placed pockets.
-
Great and uncomplicated base for personalization. Although the capacity may seem small, the MOLLE system allows you to attach different accessories or pouches, so you can expand it. The material is of high quality, the zippers are also solid, so the backpack will last a long time. I definitely recommend it.
-
The backpack is comfortable, well-made, and offers various customization options. It works great for short trips in the field. However, due to its price, it's worth waiting for a promotion, as it may feel a bit lacking.
-
Good small daypack or additional pack for large backpacks. Thanks to MOLLE, it's highly customizable; you can attach several pouches for a water bottle, binoculars, or other items. The MSRP is definitely too high, even though the product is very high quality.
-
Was thinking about this purchasefor a long time because of the price. Decided to combine it with my Guardian Reece Chest rig - and it was the perfect decision. They can be arranged together and provide a huge platform for customization! Helikon top!
-
The backpack fully meets my expectations. Both in terms of workmanship quality and materials used, it represents a high standard. I was looking for a small backpack and this model delivers exactly that. Additionally, I bought it during a promotion, which was a big plus.
-
This backpack is really great! What I like the most is that you can attach it to the Helikon Chicom backpack. I carry a water bladder, food, and have additional pouches attached to it. I definitely recommend it!
-
Great patrol backpack that works well under a vest. The included straps let you convert it even into a cycling backpack. It's very spacious – it easily holds food, a poncho, or smaller items. A big plus is the option to mount a hydration bladder and secure it with a clip.
-
A very good backpack for everyday EDC use. However, it's worth noting that it lacks compartments and straps for small items, flashlights, or knives. A great solution is using the Helikon EDC Insert Large pocket in Olive Green, which fits perfectly when attached to the upper part with Velcro. It holds a lot of gear, and underneath you can also store a small Mil-Tec first aid kit, headlamp, paracord, and other things. In the zippered pocket in the flap, you can keep a power bank, two cables, a notebook, and a pen. The material is durable Cordura. Comfort of wearing is a personal matter—I need to get used to it myself, since I haven't used backpacks for a long time. Overall, it's ideal for EDC, you just need to buy an extra pocket. I definitely recommend it and am satisfied with it.

Great backpack for the city and other occasions. Made very solidly, from durable and pleasant-to-touch material, which is rare. The biggest drawback is the lack of a handle or loop to grab and carry it without putting it on your back. However, you can easily make such a handle from paracord, which, hidden under the material, will look aesthetic and not be noticeable. Pros of the backpack: During use, it doesn't make any noises, such as rattling zippers or clasps. The adjustable straps are held together with sturdy Velcro. There are hydration system holes on both sides, though not in the middle at the top, which is quite unusual. The backpack is rigid where needed, but not everywhere unnecessarily. It has an extensive lashing system and an elastic cord with a lock at the bottom. A large Velcro patch is also placed on the MOLLE system.
-
The backpack is compact, quite spacious, and comfortable to use. It is made from durable Cordura. The straps allow you to attach various things in many ways. I definitely recommend it.

I bought the Helikon Guardian Smallpack backpack as an alternative to a waist bag and men’s pouches. It’s much more comfortable and spacious, so it doesn’t get in the way during everyday use. It’s perfect for small items, water and other necessary accessories, especially in the summer.
