Helikon Matilda 50 l Backpack - Coyote

I already have a few backpacks, but this one also tempted me. I use several Helikon products and I’m always satisfied with the quality. This backpack also met my expectations. It’s a bit 'baggy' – when empty it doesn’t look as impressive ;) but it’s very roomy and has plenty of extra spots for attaching gear or pouches. The straps are wide and comfortable. The reinforced back works very well. If you find it at a good price, it’s worth getting without hesitation.

This is the best backpack I've had so far – it worked well on the training ground, during marches, and on the border. It has a durable construction, no threads sticking out, and it doesn't let rain in. It was maximally loaded and weighed down, yet the material remained intact, and the plastic parts survive stepping on, slamming, and impacts. Despite having less capacity than standard mountain backpacks, I definitely prefer to use it over a military one.

Very good backpack, I use it for trips to various abandoned locations where it's easy to get tears. Despite this, it still looks like new. I recommend it.

A very good backpack, I didn’t expect such high quality. Wide, stiff straps. The color is a bit lighter than in the photo. Very spacious. I can wholeheartedly recommend this model.

I don't regret buying it. Thanks to using KSK points, I paid 290 PLN and in my opinion, it's hard to find something better for this price. The big advantages are the use of Cordura, capacity, the possibility to attach extra pockets, reinforced back, hip belt, and chest strap. I definitely recommend it.

Very solid, spacious, and practical backpack. After five outings with a load of 15-24kg, it performed excellently. It also works flawlessly in the forest and does not absorb moisture from the environment. It also survived transport in the airplane's baggage compartment without any damage.

It is very comfortable and roomy. The price may be a bit high, but it's worth paying extra for such product quality.

This is the best backpack I've had – it fits everything you need for a few days. Don't pay attention to the price, it's worth getting it. Helikon is a brand you can trust.

It is solid, can fit well to the figure, and the straps and suspenders do not cause discomfort.

Great backpack for trips. The thoughtfully designed frame makes it easy to pack for a two- or three-day outing in the woods. The external pockets are very spacious and easily fit, for example, a rolled-up jacket, food, or canteens. The main compartment is large and can fit even big sleeping bags, obviously after compression, and when you close the flap you gain even more space. The backpack has been used in various conditions – forests, mountains, kayaking, lakes – and not once did it fail, nor does it show any signs of damage.

The backpack proved itself during the first trips to the forest. At this point, I have no complaints. It has a solid construction, the main compartment is very spacious, and the pockets also hold quite a few things, so it's easy to organize all your gear. It's perfect for trips lasting 2-3 days. This is exactly the model I was looking for.

Bought at a promotional price. After the first trip – very positive impressions. The backpack will likely last a long time.

I thought about buying this backpack for a long time. I've been using it for almost two years now and haven't found any major flaws. It easily fits a tarp, hammock, sleeping bag, stove, hatchet, water, and still has some room left. Now I'm ordering additional scout or E&E pouch pockets so I can access my gear easily without having to look deep into the backpack. The hip belt is very comfortable.

Fantastic, especially for people who like to have everything within reach. The side adjustment straps make even a larger tent hold on perfectly as if it were part of the backpack. The hip belt is very comfortable and can be easily adjusted thanks to the molle system. The main compartment is much more spacious than I expected – I get the impression the backpack offers more space than the declared 35 liters. By adding a drop bag and E&E pocket, you gain even more space. I recommend it to everyone who doesn’t go for ultralight gear.

The backpack is based on the proven Alice design, adapted for bushcraft needs. It performs great when used in the forest.
