I'll start from the beginning. First I bought the Helikon Urban Admin Pouch. When it was fully loaded, it was too heavy, and I don't like carrying things on my belt, so I chose this backpack. At first, you need to get used to carrying it on one strap, especially if you haven't had this kind of model before. It might also press against your neck a bit, especially at first. Inside, the largest pocket works great; it comes with a holster that can fit a Glock 17/19, and at the top a Mil-Tec first aid kit fits. The second, middle pocket is also spacious, partially unzippable; I keep a Helikon Large organizer there and one from the Urban Admin Pouch – they fit perfectly. In the large pocket I have a pen, pocket knife, flashlight, and multitool. In the UAP organizer I keep small items like a firestarter, batteries, etc. At the bottom, there's also space for a power bank with cable. The third, outer zippered pocket can fit chemical lights, bars, gloves, a mouthpiece, tissues, paracord, and there's still space left. The pocket with the buckle works well for documents. The small pocket on the strap is for small items, e.g. a pack of cigarettes or an ID card. Overall, a very comfortable, spacious, and practical small backpack with very good access to the contents. I'm very satisfied and recommend it.

A versatile and compact single-strap backpack made of highly durable Cordura fabric. Equipped with a contoured shoulder strap lined with spacer mesh. Mesh is also sewn onto the back, which increases the breathability of the fabric and the comfort of wearing the backpack. A pocket for carrying small items, such as a phone, has been added to the shoulder strap. The pocket is closed with a zipper.
The main compartment has no pockets, but is compatible with the Versatile Insert System®. This design allows you to freely customize the interior of the compartment by attaching various types of holders or organizers. The main compartment can hold, for example, a flashlight holder, knife, or multitool.
Two external pockets also help to organize the carried equipment. The large and elastic pocket on the front of the backpack is secured with a buckle. Inside, you can carry, for example, a water bottle, jacket, or sweatshirt. The side pocket, on the other hand, is closed with a zipper. It can be used to store, for example, a notebook.
A very important element of the backpack is the hidden pocket on the back designed for carrying weapons. The pocket is fastened with a zipper that can be quickly opened using a hypalon pull tab. The inside of the pocket is lined with velour to which a pistol and magazine holder can be attached.
The set includes an Inverted Pistol Holder Insert. Other holders and organizers shown in the photos are not included in the set.

Great small backpack. The biggest advantage is the single shoulder strap. Very comfortable and well-designed construction. It works perfectly for me, so I recommend it.
-
A very interesting and unique small backpack with many practical internal attachments and a phone pocket on the strap. An unconventional solution, good if you don't want to carry a larger backpack. Helikon – a company from Poland, everything is of high quality. The only downside is the fairly high price.
-
Great bag design. Very comfortable to carry and much more practical than small 10-liter backpacks. Separate and sensible pockets. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.
-
Great small backpack for bike rides and short trips to the city. Simple but thoughtful design and good build quality. It's a better choice than a small classic double-strap backpack.
-
Beautifully designed bag-backpack. Works flawlessly. I am really happy with it and highly recommend everyone buy this product, because it is worth it.
-
The backpack works perfectly for everyday use in the city. I don't use the Helikon VIS inserts, but it's nice that there's an option to expand and organize your EDC gear according to your own preferences. The zippered pocket without Velcro is great for small items. There's room in the back for a bottle or thermos. I definitely recommend it.
-
Great backpack for everyday use. The interior is very well thought out. Two of the three pockets are fully lined with velcro, allowing you to attach various accessories. Highly recommended.
-
Good bag for everyday use. You can easily reach inside without taking it off your back. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
-
A fantastic solution for everyday carrying as EDC. The backpack is made very solidly, with a comfortable carrying system. I highly recommend it to everyone.
-
A small backpack, great for everyday city use. It lacks a panel or modular insert for accessories; you have to buy it separately. The material is quite durable.
-
The backpack is perfect for city trips for a 16-year-old. It performed well on short hikes in the Pieniny mountains. The weight is well distributed on the back, and the carrying strap is comfortable. It has many pockets and allows access to contents without having to take the backpack off. Very well made.
-
Practical backpack, it's worth getting organizers for it. Very solid workmanship!
-
Very good, small but spacious bag. I wanted quick access to the inside without having to take off my backpack. I don't keep a weapon in it, just my child's things (sometimes you need to grab them quickly). It really fits a lot – documents, a water bottle, even bedding from preschool. At first, it bothered me since I'm left-handed and I wanted to change the way I carry the bag, but after a few days, I got used to it.
-
Great quality. Very well made.
