Wisport Raccoon 45L Rucksack A-TACS FG Review

The Raccoon 45 litres backpack is a part of Wisport’s latest generation of survival backpacks and is based on the well-known concept of theirs 65 & 85 litres capacity predecessors. The bag is made of extremely durable Cordura Nylon and developed in collaboration with Polish Military forces. Main compartment can be divided into two smaller sections, creating the top section of 2/3 of the capacity and the bottom one of about 1/3 of total capacity. The internal hood comes with a drawstring, which partial span allows carrying long items. The main compartment comes with a flat hydration compatible pocket, which can also be used for carrying a laptop or small radio station. The access to the main compartment is possible from the top or from the bottom through the flap closed with a thick zipper. The top flap of the backpack is removable and has two pockets – also with Wisport zippers. Fully adjustable FAS Plus ergonomic military carrier system allows for adjusting the backpack while on the move, depending on the angle of descent or ascent. Ergonomically shaped shoulder straps and padded waist belt help to distribute weight evenly and relief the pressure from the back. The belt can easily be detached from the rucksack which allows the use of modular weapon belts together with tactical vest. Quick-release Duraflex & ITW Nexus buckles allow the backpack to be quickly dropped on the ground when required. The compression straps allow the backpack to be adapted to the size of carried kit and prevent it from shifting inside the bag, which may cause unnecessary noise, discomfort and disturbance to the balance. Moreover, multiple Nylon straps permit the outside fixation of much bigger items that will not fit inside, or because they need to remain on hand. Thanks to this the overall capacity of the rucksack may be significantly greater than nominal 45 litres.
