Wisport Whistler can be purchased at www.wisport.dk
A modern survival / military backpack with a capacity of 35L.
The high comfort is partly due Wisport’s SAS PLUS ERGONOMICALLY MILITARY carrying system. Its quality is at a reasonable level because it is made of Cordura 1000D, and the buckles are ITW NEXUS – DURAFLEX type.
SEMI ADJUSTABLE SYSTEM (SAS)
The semi-adjustable suspension system is equipped with adjustable shoulder straps. This feature ensures improved stability, which are not affected by unevenness or dynamic loads.
SAS is used in backpacks designed for activities that require a wide range of movement of the user, such as climbing and skiing.
The asymmetrical hip belt is removable and reversible, allowing for better functionality.
All elements of the system which come in contact with the body are covered with AIR NET, which improves the air flow.
Depending on the size and design, SAS can support system will be further reinforced with aluminum or fiberglass rods to give the increased stiffness.

Cons:
The rain cover is not secured, and thus it can blow away if you do not attach it to the backpack.
The carrying handle is located between two rows of webbing. This means that it is not applicable if there is a pouch attached here.
There is no elastic webbing in the small side pockets. This makes it difficult to use them when the bag is full.
Pros:
Rain cover included.
A rain / storm flap is covering all zippers, resulting in less chance that rain water can penetrate into the pack.
The support system is really comfortable to wear on your back / shoulders even with heavy gear.
All zippers are, in my opinion, dimensioned for the purpose.
Lots of straps and buckles so you can adjust, optimize and configure your backpack as you want.
You can attach other models of smaller backpacks from Wisport or the Whistler can be attached to larger models.
Good quality of buckles, fabric, webbing and stitching.
Mega long kompression straps (and webbing in general). So there is plenty of opportunity to mount additional gear outside backpack
PALS webbing throughout the backpack. This makes it easy to mount extra pockets on it.
Good padded shoulder straps with drinking tube keepers.
Good opportunities to adjust the carrying system.
Reversible well-padded hip belt which is dimensioned to the size of the backpack.
Good and big roomy bag with good opportunities to organize your gear.
A very good backpack that I can easily recommend.
