I’m giving 5 stars mainly because of the price, but the lack of a MOLLE system is a downside for me. The side pockets could be a little bigger so, for example, a thermos could fit. The pocket with the sewn-in rain cover looks good at first glance, but the cover takes up space that could have been better used. Besides that, the backpack has a decent capacity, easy access to all items without having to take everything out. The carrying system is very comfortable! If you're looking for more advanced solutions, you might want to choose a more expensive model, but for less demanding users, this backpack is a great option.
Mil-Tec Commando Backpack 55 l - Black
A versatile expedition backpack with a total capacity of 55 liters is designed to divide the main compartment into two distinct sections – upper and lower. Perfect for military applications and outdoor adventures, as well as extended trips. Constructed from resilient 600D polyester with a PVC coating, it offers water resistance and enhanced abrasion resistance.
Functional external pockets
The design includes 4 external pockets for easy organization and quick access to the most necessary items:
- 2 large side pockets measuring 25 x 15 x 5 cm, closed with a zipper
- 1 front pocket with an additional Mesh
- 1 smaller pocket on the flap, also closed with a zipper
Adjustable shoulder straps, aluminum frame, and carrying comfort
The main compartment is closed with a drawstring extension and a flap with buckles. The back section is equipped with a removable, lightweight aluminum frame. Adjustable shoulder straps, a wide hip strap and a sponge-padded back panel ensure comfort and a proper fit. Critical points of the structure - such as the back, strap and shoulders - have been further reinforced, which significantly increases the durability of the backpack. Carrying is facilitated by a sturdy handle, and a rain cover is included in the set.
Customization option – velcro panel
The front includes a velcro panel sized at 10 x 5 cm, enabling the attachment of various patches, such as flags, unit symbols, or popular Morale Patches.

The backpack is very spacious. Nice, convenient pockets are located on the hip belt. It also comes with a chest strap, which, combined with the soft and thick padding on the back, makes it comfortable to carry even when fully loaded. The only thing I’m missing is a special pocket or pouch for documents. The built-in rain cover is a very pleasant and practical surprise.

Great backpack, I’ve been using it for two years and it still looks like new from the store. Very comfortable, has a removable aluminum frame. As described, you get a very spacious backpack; you can tighten the straps, making the whole thing compact. You can also easily attach things to the straps, like mats, smaller bags, a tarp, a blanket, an axe, a knife (with minor modifications), or other items that fit underneath. The upper straps can be tightened completely. The backpack has two minor drawbacks: no MOLLE system (but if someone is buying this type of backpack, they probably don’t expect MOLLE), and you can't detach the hip belt, which is a bit inconvenient when carrying a shoulder bag, vest, or tactical belt. Overall, a very solid and good backpack. Many elements can be used creatively. I don’t recommend it for military personnel or airsoft players because of the hip belt, but for camping or trips, it’s ideal.

I am very satisfied with this product; the material is attractive and comfortable. The backpack is well-made with high-quality materials. The product matches the description, which I greatly appreciate. It's definitely worth buying, and I highly recommend it.

I spent 3 days in the woods with this backpack, and it was completely sufficient to fit all the needed gear. It has well-designed compartments, practical side pockets, comfortable straps, and a belt. The backpack is also a good price, so I highly recommend this product.
-
Very comfortable and roomy backpack. Lots of pockets, even on the hip belt. You hardly feel it on your back. It's hard to find anything better or even comparable at this price. Highly recommended!
-
When it comes to comfort for long distances, this backpack turned out to be more comfortable than other models. The bottom compartment is very practical. The downside is the lack of a molle system and the small upper handle.
-
The backpack is great for a 2-3 day trip.
-
The backpack is fine.
-
The backpack is well made in terms of quality, it is very spacious and comfortable to carry. The price matches the quality, in my opinion it’s a plus.
-
This is the best backpack I’ve had so far, very roomy.
-
For a small amount of money, you get a backpack with a classic, slightly improved design. It proved itself during summer. It only required a fix for the seams on the collar, which were unevenly sewn from the start. Other than that, the backpack turned out to be durable and practical. I recommend fastening the pocket zippers with Nite Ize carabiners—the S-Biner KeyRack Black work best. This way, the lower and side pockets and the main compartment won't accidentally open.
-
I haven’t had a chance to test the backpack yet, but I was very impressed with it right out of the box!
-
The backpack is spacious, looks elegant, and meets my expectations. I recommend it to everyone.
