Wisport Sparrow II 20 l Backpack - MAPA
The upgraded version of the beloved Sparrow backpack – a compact 20-liter model crafted for survival and military purposes, constructed from 500D Cordura in MAPA camouflage. This design is inspired by the urban Raven model and is optimized for rigorous outdoor use.
Durable Cordura construction
Constructed from durable 500D Cordura, this material offers exceptional resistance to wear and mechanical damage, guaranteeing enduring durability even in challenging conditions.
2 compartments, 5 pockets, hydration system
Includes two roomy compartments. The main compartment (17 l) has four D-rings attached to the back panel for securing accessories. The auxiliary compartment is equipped with an enhanced organizer for arranging small items. Within the main compartment, you'll find mesh pockets with zip enclosures. The lid holds a flat pocket matching the size of the main compartment and about 4 cm deep, perfect for storing documents, maps, or a compact laptop. On the lid's exterior, a small pocket provides quick access.
Inside features a hydration bladder hook, a hose port, and two mounting points on each shoulder strap for securing the system efficiently.
Main closure and protective flaps
Featuring a two-way zipper across three sides of the lid, the backpack can be opened widely for easy access to both compartments. Zippers are durable and wear-resistant, with textile pullers suitable for glove use. Additional protective flaps guard the zippers from dirt and moisture.
Carrying system, compression straps, transport handle
The ACS – Air Comfort System provides structure and back ventilation, improving carrying comfort. Shaped shoulder straps with a quick-release feature and an adjustable chest strap ensure a precise and secure fit. The interior side of the straps is crafted from dense, snag-resistant material.
Both sides of the backpack are equipped with two adjustable straps featuring fastex 30 mm buckles, ideal for compression or attaching gear externally, such as a tarp, mat, jacket, or camouflage net. A wide and lengthy transport handle at the top of the pack facilitates convenient hand carrying.
MOLLE / PALS
The front, sides, and bottom feature MOLLE/PALS webbing, allowing for the attachment of additional gear or enabling quick access to equipment of urgent need.
Velcro panel
A velcro panel is positioned on the front, allowing for the personalization of the backpack using patches, flags, or morale patches.
MAPA camouflage
The MAPA camouflage pattern was crafted by Maciej Dojlitko, an alumnus and current researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. He is also credited as the author of The Theory of Deconstructing the Visual Message. Tools for Designing Military Camouflage (Gdańsk 2015). This pioneering project, backed by substantial theoretical and experimental evidence, including computer analyses of numerous terrain images, captured the interest of experts and producers in military apparel. The MAPA camouflage premiered in 2017 at the International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce, featuring as the camouflage for the Dromader gear and uniform system designed by Maskpol, aligned with the Polish Armaments Group. Initially, this system was envisioned for the Territorial Defence Forces, yet the MAPA design was considered as a possible successor to the wz.93 camouflage throughout the Polish Armed Forces. However, MAPA has not been officially adopted as the Polish Army's standard camouflage.
Key features of the MAPA camouflage in its baseline woodland version:
- 6 colors forming layered structures reminiscent of contour lines on a map,
- colors tailored for use in Central European woodlands,
- incorporation of 3D illusion and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic forms that emulate vegetation,
- high-contrast components simulating light reflections and shadows,
- silhouette disruption using macropatterning,
- color noise created through micropatterning.
The MAPA pattern presents an intriguing alternative to prominent modern camouflage systems such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn, or Finnish M/05. In some regards, it is more sophisticated and better captures the hues typical of Central European forests from late spring to early autumn.

Very good backpack in every way, although for me the downside is the weight—the solid cordura does weigh something, so for everyday work I feel the weight a bit, especially at the end of the day. Other than that, it is very well made.
-
This is a sensational, spacious, comfortable, and as usual, very durable backpack. Wisport once again met expectations, every function is well thought out, especially compared to the previous version. I recommend it to everyone—a fantastic piece of gear.
-
I bought the backpack in July 2021 and have been using it almost daily. It is very solid. After washing, the molle straps got a bit damaged, so I've since washed it in a protective cover. I also noticed that the price has gone up a lot – four years ago, I paid 299 PLN for it.
-
High quality workmanship, many different pockets, and comfortable, thick straps. The material seems very durable. The price is high, but adequate to the quality.
-
Wisport Sparrow 20l is a classic among backpacks. Almost perfect. Fantastic build quality, made in Poland. Suitable for EDC, school, etc. Proven by many. I recommend it!
-
This is basically a smaller version of the Sparrow 30, practically identical :) Thanks to this, it's very comfortable for daily use, because 30 liters is a lot, and if it's not fully packed, it can be a bit floppy. I can wholeheartedly recommend it as a backpack for everyday use.
-
Durable, well-designed backpack. Works great for everyday use as well as for outdoor trips. Very tough material, resistant to damage and moisture, gives you confidence in reliability. 20 liters of capacity and a well-thought-out pocket layout allow for convenient organization, and the MOLLE system makes expanding it easy. The backpack is comfortable even with extended wear—shaped straps and a reinforced back increase comfort. Ideal for people looking for durability and functionality without unnecessary extras. Wisport, as always, did not disappoint—I recommend it.
-
This backpack is really worth its price! It looks great and is very functional at the same time. Solid construction, lots of adjustment options, a well-thought-out layout of pockets and compartments. I recommend it!
-
A versatile backpack, great for both one-day trips out of town and for daily use at work. Sparrow 20 replaces my Sparrow 30 when I need something smaller. You can also expand it with special side pockets or other accessories in the molle system.
-
I already have the Sparrow 30 model, but I needed something smaller for work and the Sparrow 20 works great. It has comfortable straps, fits drinks, food, daily accessories, and a small speaker with headphones. It’s definitely worth tying up the dangling cords with rubber bands, four are already on the backpack, but an extra set is very handy and keeps things from tangling.
-
The camouflage has an original pattern that looks great in person. The backpack is very solid and made of high-quality materials. Perfect for outdoor trips. I highly recommend checking it out!
-
Fifth year of use... still like new, used every day, great quality and ergonomics, washed many times—nothing bothers it, I hope it stays this way.
-
The Wisport Sparrow II 20L in Olive Green is a great combination of durability and functionality. The backpack met all my requirements – it's comfortable, sturdy, and has enough capacity for both everyday use and shorter trips. The layout of the pockets and compartments is very thoughtfully designed and makes organization easier. I recommend it to anyone looking for a handy yet spacious backpack.
-
Very solidly made backpack, thoughtful design, plenty of options for attaching and organizing gear. The pockets are also well arranged. A bit heavy, but that's the price for durability. Overall, highly recommended.
