With every new product, I have a growing impression that Miltec products are made mainly for appearance, not for everyday, practical use. I used the backpack only once a year ago, the gear weighed about 20 kg or a bit less, and I carried everything at full load for maybe two hours. Before this year's trip, I discovered that one of the straps had a slight tear. I didn't notice it right away because it still holds in place, but a backpack that's supposed to be for expeditions should withstand much more. I have no complaints about the appearance – the design is well thought out, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing – but the workmanship leaves much to be desired. I understand loose threads with a lower price, but damage to an important element like the carrying strap on first use is unacceptable. I definitely do not recommend products from this company – everything I've had from them has broken down. The tools are made from poor quality steel, and the clothes – although made of good materials – are so poorly sewn that this is yet another backpack that has torn for me during the warranty period, and the rubberized poncho leaks because of weak seams. Organizers or gear for occasional use can be cheap and good, the fire starters are great and very inexpensive, but I advise avoiding their backpacks, bags, clothes, tents, and “heavy duty” equipment.
Mil-Tec Recom Rucksack 88 l Backpack - Olive
Expedition backpack with an impressive capacity of 88 liters, made of durable polyester coated with a PU layer, providing increased resistance to mechanical damage and weather conditions. This volume allows for convenient packing of essential gear for a multi-day camp, trekking, or a longer field expedition.
Flap closure and integrated rain cover
The top part features a flap with a sewn-in rain cover. The main compartment is secured with a snow collar with a drawstring and allows the interior to be divided into two separate sections. Access is possible from both the top and the bottom. On the sides, there are two flap pockets with buckles, while the front of the backpack includes a zippered pocket.
On the front panel, there is a small velcro patch for attaching identification patches, flags, unit emblems, or so-called morale patches.
Adjustable carrying system with aluminum frame
An adjustable carrying system with a hip and chest belt ensures ergonomic fit to the user's body. Additional pockets on the hip belt are useful for carrying small, handy accessories.
The back panel is reinforced with an aluminum frame, significantly improving stability and carrying comfort. A soft hip protector, attached with velcro, enhances comfort during prolonged use. Additional straps and loops allow for attaching extra gear.

I took this backpack on trips several times and was always satisfied. The material is very good quality for this price, the backpack is comfortable even with a large amount of luggage thanks to the many adjustments and fastenings. It’s spacious, and the sewn-in rain cover is also a big plus. The only downside is the fact that the internal frame in the shape of an inverted 'U' can bend under heavy loads and when put into the trunk, but it's easy to restore to its correct shape. Looking at prices and features of other backpacks of this size, I definitely consider the purchase successful and recommend it to everyone.

Very good backpack at an attractive price. 88 liters allows you to pack all the necessary things. Additional side pockets and, of course, a sewn-in rain cover. There are also two extra small pockets on the hip belt—handy for little things you want to keep close.

In my opinion, the material is very good quality for this price, and the backpack is comfortable even under heavy load thanks to many adjustments and fastenings. It’s spacious, and an additional plus is the built-in rain cover. The only drawback I’ve noticed is the frame's shape, which is an inverted 'U'; under heavy load and during transport in the trunk, it can get bent, but it’s easy to restore to its original form. Considering the price and the features offered at this capacity, I definitely have no regrets about my purchase and recommend it to everyone.

The order was processed within 12 hours. The product looks solid and is well made. The main compartment is spacious, and the side pockets have plenty of room. This is my first order and probably not my last. I recommend this store.

I used this backpack during several trips and it never let me down. In my opinion, the material is very solid for the price, and the backpack is comfortable even with a heavy load thanks to the many adjustment options and fastenings. Very spacious, and another advantage is the built-in rain cover. The only flaw I noticed is that the internal frame has the shape of an inverted 'U' – under heavy load and while being transported in the trunk, it can get bent, but it can be easily restored to its original shape. Comparing the prices and features of backpacks of similar capacity, I absolutely don’t regret this purchase and can confidently recommend it to others.
