The backpack is great! A huge plus is the ability to detach the side pockets, so if you don't need that much space, you can leave one or two pouches at home and attach something else. I also like the bottom compartment, where it's easy to store items you don't want to keep at the top.
Wisport Raccoon Backpack 85 l - MAPA
Versatile survival and tactical backpack boasting a capacity of 85 liters, engineered for exceptional durability. Crafted from rugged, abrasion-resistant Cordura fabric, it includes an adjustable carrying system, an array of practical pockets, and a modular MOLLE/PALS configuration. Reinforced with bar-tacked seams, the construction guarantees longevity even under rigorous use. Ideal for extended expeditions, camping, and tactical missions.
Adjustable carrying system
The backpack features an aluminum frame combined with a FAS Plus Ergonomic adjustable carrying system, enabling precise customization according to the user's body shape and height. It includes wide hip and chest straps with adjustable lengths, fitted with certified ITW NEXUS and Duraflex buckles. This configuration guarantees the necessary firmness and comfort when transporting heavy equipment. Incorporating a spacer mesh enhances back ventilation, which is particularly beneficial in warm climates.
Spacious main compartment and additional pockets
The primary compartment is divided by an internal collar, separating it into two distinct sections: the lower portion constitutes 1/3, while the upper part accounts for 2/3 of the total capacity. A detachable flap in the lower section offers convenient access to items stored at the bottom. Located on the sides are additional pockets with a capacity of 9 liters each, ideal for carrying smaller gear. The upper section of the main compartment is secured with a soft zippered collar, further stabilized by a strap and buckle. The backpack's lid features two pockets: one external and another large internal pocket with significant depth. A side handle allows for comfortable one-handed carrying of the backpack.
MOLLE/PALS system and external straps
The integrated MOLLE/PALS system makes it easy to attach additional pouches and gear, customizing the backpack to meet current requirements. External straps with buckles offer versatile options for organizing your load, making them perfect for securing a sleeping bag, sleeping mat, or other gear.
Hydration pocket and rain cover
Inside the backpack, there is a compartment for a hydration bladder, enabling the use of a hydration system while you're on the move. Plastic clips on the shoulder straps keep the hose stable and prevent it from shifting. At the bottom of the backpack, a small pocket hides a built-in rain cover to shield your gear in harsh weather.

MAPA camouflage
The MAPA camouflage pattern was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, the author of, among other publications, Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdańsk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of accouterment and uniforms by Maskpol, which is part of the Polish Armaments Group. The system was created for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Army, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a perspective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not been implemented to date as an official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army.
The main features of MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant
- 6 colors forming layers resembling levels on a map
- colors optimized for operations in the forests of Central Europe
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect
- biomorphic shapes making the design similar to vegetation
- strongly contrasting elements imitating flashes of light and shadows
- deformation of the masked silhouette using macro pattern
- color noise reproduced by means of a micro pattern
The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn or Finnish M/05. In some respects it is more advanced than them, and also better reproduces the colors found in Central European forests in the period from later spring to early autumn.

This is a very good option for people looking for a spacious backpack that can be made more compact thanks to the five side pockets. The build quality, as is to be expected from this manufacturer, is excellent.
-
I considered buying a smaller backpack, but ultimately I chose the Wisport model because the side pockets can be detached, and the main backpack is easy to pack.
-
The backpack works great for longer trips. It is very spacious, and thanks to the additional side pockets you can conveniently separate and organize all your gear.
-
The overall impression is good, although I'm concerned about the number of protruding threads. At this price, I didn't expect so many shortcomings, especially since cheaper backpacks are often better checked. On the positive side, I appreciate the comfort of use and the functionally arranged pockets.

For many years, I have been a loyal user of Wisport products. My collection consists exclusively of their backpacks, which I am very satisfied with. The materials used are of high quality and the workmanship is meticulous. It should be noted that because of this, the backpacks themselves are relatively heavy, but durability goes hand in hand with weight here. Of course, you can find more practical models, but what is key for me is that these products are made in Poland. I highly recommend the entire range of this company.

The biggest advantage – everything is made in Poland, which is very important to me. The quality of workmanship and the materials used are impressive! Both the fabric, seams, and configuration options thanks to the MOLLE/PALS system are excellent. The solutions are well thought out in every detail. The camouflage looks interesting. The hip belt, shoulder straps, and chest strap are comfortable, with a wide range of adjustment options for all elements. I plan to buy a few more things in this pattern for future adventures. I thought about the purchase for a long time, and now I think I shouldn't have hesitated. Order service – lightning fast!

The Wisport Raccoon 85l in camouflage wz.93 is a fantastic backpack. Very durable, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable to carry. It's perfect even for long treks with heavy loads.
-
This is an excellent choice for longer trips – the backpack holds a lot and is easy to pack thanks to the two large side panniers and the lower flap. Additionally, it has many options for attaching gear.
-
A great option for long trips – you can easily fit everything you need, and thanks to the two large panniers and the lower flap, packing is convenient. It also offers plenty of options to attach extra gear.
-
Wisport helps me reduce the number of backpacks because, thanks to the ability to detach the sides, I can use a smaller backpack that works great on its own ;) It's excellent and I honestly recommend it.
-
A very functional and spacious backpack for this price. The quality of workmanship is almost flawless (except for a few loose threads), the seams are even, without any gaps or deviations. The stated capacity of 85 liters includes the main compartment and side pockets.
-
This backpack has many advantages – it is very spacious, well-made, produced in Poland, and offered at an attractive price compared to well-known brands. I am sure you will be satisfied with it.
-
A backpack with side pockets offers such large capacity that sometimes it actually feels too loose. The pockets can also be easily detached, which turns the whole thing into a practical, approximately 50-liter backpack for shorter trips. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
-
This is a very roomy and versatile backpack, mainly because you can detach the side pockets when you don’t need that much space. I highly recommend it.
