Wisport brand 16L backpack... The capacity may be enough to spend one or two days outdoors. Smart and sturdy bag... the only drawback might be the thinness of the straps. Despite the excessive length of some straps... this is an item I highly recommend.

Handy military backpack in wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage with a capacity of 16 liters. Made from abrasion and damage-resistant 500D Cordura.

wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage
The wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced into widespread use in the Third Polish Repubic. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The color scheme, based on green, brown, and black, has been adapted to the conditions of Polish forests, making ""Pantera"" a good choice for operations in the native terrain. Uniforms in this camouflage pattern are also part of the basic equipment for students of Military Uniform Classes.

+ High quality workmanship. - Lack of practical compartments. - The internal pencil case is poorly designed, pens fall out. - The price is very high. + Product of a Polish brand. + Comfortable to use.

I already have two Wisport backpacks, but I was looking for something smaller that could also fit a 14-inch laptop. This model turned out to be a great choice. It offers many configuration options thanks to the MOLLE mounts, and the craftsmanship is as solid as in every Wisport backpack.
-
The backpack is indeed small in its basic version, but it easily holds the essentials. Thanks to the MOLLE straps, you can significantly increase its size by mounting, for example, Wisport Sparrow side pockets. The materials and workmanship are high quality, although in my opinion, the price is quite high. However, it is compensated for by a 5-year warranty. I think it’s a good purchase.
-
Wisport is a truly trustworthy brand – when it comes to survival backpacks, I only choose their products. This is my second backpack from this company; I first bought a 40-liter one, and now I’ve gone for a more compact model. Very solidly made, spacious, and excellently designed.
-
A very practical, compact backpack – perfect for a walking trip to the store. You can fit documents, EDC gear, or a 14-inch laptop. The shoulder straps are easily detachable, so you can attach it to a larger backpack or wear it on one shoulder. I removed the hanging straps and unnecessary elements, making it better suited to my needs.

The Sparrow 30 served me for eight years of everyday use—I carried it to work, shopping, it was often fully loaded, and I even carried 30 kg of stones and tools in it. After all those years, the zipper broke and I sent it for repair, and as my new work backpack, I chose a smaller model. The material turned out to be extremely durable—during regular use, there were no damages, the seams didn’t break or need repair, and the inner coating survived not just rain, but also many washes. When I picked up the Sparrow 16, I immediately noticed the quality had stayed the same—the backpack is very comfortable, the design is well thought out, the zippers move smoothly, and the lining is pleasant to the touch. Inside, an A4 folder fits, maybe even something bigger. When you decide on a Wisport backpack, other models will probably stop interesting you :)

I bought this backpack because of its perfect dimensions, fitting the requirements for free carry-on luggage. It's a bit smaller than the allowed limit, so you can easily add an external Mil-tec pocket. For its size, it's quite spacious, and the various pockets help keep things organized. The backpack is well-made—you can tell it's not a cheap product. I plan to use it for hiking and short trips—I think it'll serve me for many years.
-
I chose the Wisport Sparrow Egg model, but this one also looks interesting. It’s small, perfect for all-day trips with light gear. It has MOLLE straps, so you can easily increase its capacity by attaching organizers.
-
This is my second Wisport brand backpack, and like the previous one, which survived daily use for ten years and is still in good condition, I am also very satisfied with this one. It is solid, spacious, has many places to attach things, and the side straps allow you to attach really large items.
-
A functional product with a wide range of uses (it’s the right size for Ryanair carry-on luggage in the basic fare). Good attachment options for various accessories (e.g., external bottle) and for attaching the backpack to larger backpacks (not only through the Molle system but also thanks to the detachable straps). Comfortable to carry, easy to personalize, and very simple to use. It would be useful to have a way to stow or tie up excess adjustment straps after setting their length. Maybe in the future, there will be an option to mount it to a plate carrier – for example, in collaboration with Direct Action or another Polish company, as some competitors offer?
-
As usual with Wisport, the backpack is characterized by great quality. It is well-made, compact, and works well for everyday use outside the home, whether for university outings or as a small trip backpack. The possibility to add extra pockets makes it very versatile. Additionally, the design of the straps allows you to easily attach it to a larger backpack without having to repack its contents if you only need the smaller backpack.
-
This is one of the smaller Wisport backpack models, but it's well-designed and surprisingly spacious for its size. Thanks to the thoughtful layout, you can use every bit of space. The backpack is lightweight for the materials used, and the workmanship quality is flawless. Proven, reputable components were used.
-
The backpack is very durable, made of high-quality materials, produced by a Polish brand. I have no complaints – it is spacious for 16 liters, and additionally, you can attach items to the outside. I highly recommend it; it’s a backpack for many years.
-
The perfect backpack for day trips out of town, but it's even better for everyday use in the city. It's comfortable and made of high-quality materials. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a backpack for work, school, or short trips.
