I bought this backpack for my daughter for scouting trips. The chosen model is functional and she really liked it. Unfortunately, the divider in the main compartment had a defective zipper that was sewn incorrectly – the slider wouldn't move along the entire length and got stuck on the wrong side of the tape. I returned the backpack requesting warranty repair or replacement. The Militaria store accepted the claim without any issue and offered a refund, but my daughter wanted the exact same model, so I asked for a new item. The new backpack arrived quickly, but it turned out to have the same defect – apparently the entire batch was sewn incorrectly. So I decided to try fixing the zipper myself: I ripped the ends of the zipper, twisted the tape 180 degrees, put the slider back on, and stitched everything by hand. It took me about an hour, but the result is satisfactory – the zipper works properly. It was a manufacturing error, but the store's customer service was great, and I also met the challenge set by my daughter. In the end, everyone is happy, and the backpack itself is definitely worth recommending.
The 55-liter backpack is crafted from polyester resistant to abrasion and tears. It features two main compartments, with access possible from both the top and bottom.
The top main compartment secures with a buckle flap, while the bottom main compartment uses a two-way zipper. The Tactical model includes two side pockets, a flap pocket, and a front pocket, all featuring two-way zippers. Additionally, the front has a mesh fabric pocket with a Velcro closure.
Wide shoulders with soft padding and adjustability, a detachable aluminum frame, and soft back panels promote air circulation, provide comfort, and ensure the backpack fits the user well. The wide hip belt and chest strap aid in distributing the load evenly.
The backpack is also fitted with detachable straps for attaching extra gear externally, along with a carry handle to facilitate lifting and carrying.

At first glance, the backpack looks great and is indeed very spacious. We'll see how it holds up with longer use. The hip belt cannot be detached, but this doesn't interfere at all when using an additional belt with gear – it's placed a bit higher, so you can move comfortably. The backpack also has many adjustment straps, allowing everyone to fit it to their needs.

The backpack is very comfortable and well made. My younger son uses it for scouting, and he is really very satisfied. As a patrol leader, it earns him respect among the younger scouts. The only downside is the rather stiff straps and tightly working clasps, so adjusting it requires a bit of patience. However, it's a recent purchase, so everything will still settle and adjust.
