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 constructed from polyester that resists abrasions and tears. It features two main compartments with contents accessible from both the top and bottom openings.
The top main compartment is secured with a flap and buckles, while the bottom one uses a two-way zipper. The Tactical model includes two side pockets, a flap pocket, and a front pocket, all closed with a two-way zipper. Additionally, a mesh fabric pocket with a Velcro closure is located on the front.
Wide shoulder straps with soft padding and adjustability, a removable aluminum frame, and soft back panels facilitate air circulation and comfort, ensuring the backpack fits the user's form correctly. The wide hip belt and chest strap are designed for balanced load distribution.
Furthermore, the backpack includes detachable straps to attach extra equipment externally and a carry handle for lifting and transporting.

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.
