After many years of using backpacks, I decided to try a courier bag. It has a wide and comfortable strap. A drawback is the pocket on the flap, where things move around when opening the bag. The flap also doesn’t cover the entire surface of the bag, so a small part remains exposed and water can get inside during rain or snow. I also purchased two organizers with Velcro fasteners, which make it easier to store small items like a multitool, pocketknife, or flashlight. So far, I am satisfied with the purchase – the bag is spacious, and despite its size, it is easy to carry and fits comfortably against the body.
An urban, functional bag crafted from tear- and abrasion-resistant 500D Cordura. Designed with a multitude of pockets, it easily holds daily essentials.
A removable shoulder strap and adjustable waist belt provide comfortable transport. The Universal Carrying Strap system allows it to detach and be used with other models, such as the Urban Courier Bag Medium or MK2 Wombat. Inside, velcro panels are compatible with the Versatile Insert System.
The primary compartment includes a foam-cushioned laptop sleeve, a zippered mesh pocket, and two pockets with elastic closures. Flat zippered pockets are also located on the bag's flap and back. Additionally, pockets on each side of the bag are designed to fit half-liter bottles.
On the flap, there's a velcro panel for attaching patches or emblems, like a national flag, unit emblem, or Morale Patches.

Camouflage Tiger Stripe
Tiger Stripe is a series of camouflage patterns that hail from Southeast Asia, with the most well-known version developed in the Republic of Vietnam. This design is derived from the French Lizard pattern and adapted to suit tropical climates. Tiger Stripe features uneven, brushstroke-like stripes in various shades of green and brown, along with broader, grayish lines set against an olive or khaki background. This arrangement is particularly effective in dense jungles and tropical forests, where it helps to conceal silhouettes among low and medium vegetation. The camouflage impedes detection at close range, allowing individuals to blend seamlessly into a dynamic, shaded vegetative backdrop. The term "Tiger Stripe" references the tiger's coat, as the pattern simulates the natural striped coloration that excels in environments requiring superior contour disruption within lush greenery.

Nice bag for a laptop and stuff for a stay of a few days. It has several compartments and pockets, plus 2 external pockets with elastic. The compartments are a bit wide to organize everything well, but with velcro pouches, it complements well.
-
1. The main "hood" type flap should be deeper and reach the place where the side buckles are sewn to the main strap. 2. The bag's pockets lack any compartments for small items (the ones shown in the pictures are not included). Organizers must be purchased separately. In my case, that was an additional cost of about 100 PLN for three different organizers.
-
If someone needs a laptop bag, the Helikon Large Urban will be a great choice. It easily fits a computer and other items. It has plenty of pockets, space for a bottle and a mouse. Also suitable for short trips or outings.
-
Great bag. It doesn't look much bigger than the Medium version, but the difference in capacity is significant. Very comfortable to carry with a well-designed shoulder strap (with Velcro, so it doesn't hang like parachute straps). Inside there are only big pockets, so for small items like pens or pocket knives you need to mount a special Velcro pocket. The quality of workmanship is high.
-
The bag is great, spacious, very well made, and extremely practical. It's a thoughtfully designed product. It holds everything needed for work and even more. It meets all the user’s expectations :). An additional plus, as always, is the lightning-fast delivery.
-
I chose it as a universal bag—from school to several-day trips. Express shipping, I recommend it! The bag is solid, you can see the high quality of workmanship, it is very durable and huge—for a petite woman it seems big, but I can fit almost everything in it. Thoughtful design, lots of Velcro space for organizers. The price matches the quality, I recommend it!
-
I've been using it every day for a long time. I haven't noticed any downsides. It has plenty of space for patches, it's very roomy, and it offers many pockets.
-
The bag is almost perfect—lightweight, comfortable, spacious, and practical. A thicker 15.6-inch laptop in a neoprene sleeve fits perfectly. If the flap were waterproof or had a rubber lining, I'd give it 6 stars. Five stars well deserved.
-
Very nice bag – spacious, comfortable, and works well both for trips and for everyday use at work.
-
This is one of the best courier bags I have ever had. I have used it almost every day since I bought it. It is very versatile, modular, and comfortable. The interior can be easily customized to your own preferences, but you have to purchase the organizer or inserts for a gun and magazines, pen or flashlight separately. As I mentioned before, I highly recommend it—it's one of the best bags of this type!
-
The bag is really very spacious. I always used backpacks, but its size pleasantly surprised me. Well-made, with cleverly arranged pockets, a comfortable wide strap, and an attractive color of strong fabric. I definitely recommend it.
-
A good and spacious bag. At first, it's hard to fit 1L Nalgene bottles in the side pockets—you have to use your other hand and pull the material tighter. Inside, the bottle doesn't fit—I don't want to use excessive force :). Pay attention to the front pocket—there's also space above the zipper, so when opening and closing the bag something can get stuck there. I'll show this in a picture. One last important point—the bag is not waterproof and soaks through quickly.
-
Durable bag for EDC. Fits a laptop and all necessary small items.
-
Previously, I used a medium-sized bag, but I couldn’t fit everything I needed for work in it. The large size is perfect – all the necessities fit without any problem! The bag is spacious and comfortable to use.
