Great disappointment with this bag, which I found to be of poor quality. Many seams are not very tight, but above all: a zipper that broke on the first use... I've had many bags in my life, and although this one isn't expensive, it just doesn't convince me. I'm waiting for the replacement model to possibly change my mind. Until then, I can't recommend this bag.

Very sturdy and spacious backpack. The 65 L capacity is ideal for long outings or outdoor activities. The compartments are well organized and it is comfortable to carry even when loaded. The materials are durable and the quality meets expectations. Very good value for money.
-
The German GEN.II Large Rucksack is okay for the price. Unfortunately, only 3 stars. The back support could be a bit stiffer. The second problem is that the straps on top of the lid are too short to attach my Defence 4 on top.
-
Very spacious and comfortable to wear. Despite my short height, it fits well on my back. The additional straps allow you to adjust its position, yet it does not pinch either the shoulders or the hips. An additional advantage is the attached waterproof cover.
-
A solid and extremely spacious backpack. Excellent value for the price. Thanks to the MOLLE system, you can adapt its features to your needs. The hip belt makes it suitable even for longer trips. I definitely recommend it.

The backpack is very good, it worked perfectly during earning the Military Mountain Badge. It's strong and comfortable. I recommend it. The back is not very stiff, but it is sufficient. It has a lot of adjustments, and the wide hip belt works great.

I have a Mil-tec 36L backpack, but for weekend hiking in the mountains it was too small, so I chose this model. It worked perfectly – the side pockets are very practical, as is the ability to attach additional gear such as a sleeping pad or tent. I definitely recommend it!

The backpack is really spacious and can hold a lot of things. It is comfortable even with a heavier load. It's a great choice for people who need a large backpack at an affordable price. Worth trying.
