The organisation
Look inside.
Most backpacks are one big hole. This one is laid out like a field pack: everything gets a place, so you can find it with one hand.
- 1Two main compartments
Front + backOpen one or both. One side for the laptop and papers, the other for a jacket, gym kit or lunch.
- 2Padded laptop sleeve
Inside the back compartmentPadded on every side. One owner carries a 16-inch laptop in it.
- 3Organiser pockets
Mesh + zip pocketsKeys, cables, a first-aid kit and pens each get their own place, so nothing sinks to the bottom.
- 4Side bottle pockets
Both sidesStretch mesh holds a full-size water bottle on each side.
- 5Compression straps

Up close
Every zip. Every strap.
No renders. This is the real backpack, the one that ships to you.

Most people own a laptop bag for work, a daypack for the weekend and a carry-on for trips, and still can’t find their keys. The EDC Mission Backpack does all three jobs.

“Hands-down the best
pack I’ve ever owned.”

Review of our EDC Mission Backpack
Review of our EDC Mission Backpack
26 litres. Two main compartments. One backpack.
The design
It started as a Ukrainian assault pack.
A two-day assault pack has to carry everything a soldier needs for 48 hours, and it can’t fail. We kept that build and sized it for your week.
The original
The design comes from a Ukrainian two-day assault pack: two main compartments, MOLLE webbing, strong buckles and straps.
Heavy nylon
Heavy-duty nylon, a fully lined body and smooth, solid zips. The kind of build that shrugs off years of daily use.
Made in Ukraine
Cut and sewn by a Ukrainian bag maker. Every one carries a small blue-and-yellow tab.
Sized for every day
At 26 litres it carries a laptop to work, a day on the trail or three days of travel.

“A good value for the dollar extremely high-quality it feels like it might be the last back I ever own.”
Murray Coffey · review of our EDC Mission BackpackBuilt like field kit
Every part has a job.
01 · The laptop sleeve
Padded, and its own.
The sleeve sits inside the back compartment, padded on every side, so the laptop never rides loose. A hidden compartment in the back panel takes up to a 16-inch MacBook, so it comes out at airport security without unpacking anything else.
Padded sleeveBack-panel pocket
“Plenty of room for my laptop and other electronics with good padding to keep them safe.”
Alice Masters · review of our EDC Mission Backpack02 · The organiser
A place for the small stuff.
Mesh and zip pockets inside, with bright pulls you can find without looking. Keys, cables, pens and a first-aid kit each get their own spot.
Mesh + zip pocketsBright pulls
“Sturdy good sized backpack with lots of pockets to keep everything easily findable.”
Diana Hilton · review of our EDC Mission Backpack03 · The bottle pockets
Water on both sides.
Stretch-mesh pockets on each side hold a full-size bottle, so it isn’t sloshing next to your laptop.
2 side pocketsFull-size bottles
“There are two main compartments and you can use one or two of them so it’s like have two rucksacks.”
Kieran Tummon · review of our EDC Mission Backpack04 · The straps
Cinch it, or let it out.
Compression straps pull it flat when it’s half empty and let it out for a weekend away. Shoulder straps adjust at the top and the bottom.

“It feels really sturdy and durable, but what impressed me most is how comfy it is, even when I load it up with a ton of stuff.”

Who’s behind it
From a sticker to a backpack.
Saint Javelin started as a fundraiser. It became a company that makes gear in Ukraine, for people who do hard things for the right reasons. The EDC Mission Backpack is the bag that grew it.

Christian Borys covers the war in eastern Ukraine as a journalist, for the BBC, the Washington Post and others.
- Feb 2022100 stickers
Days before the full-scale invasion, he prints 100 stickers of a saint holding a Javelin to raise money for Ukraine. About $500,000 is donated in the first month.
- 2022Made in Ukraine
He decides to make everything in Ukraine, and we send winter gear to Ukrainian soldiers. Their feedback becomes the Defender Collection.
- 2024The first backpack
With a Ukrainian bag maker, we build the EDC Mission Backpack on a two-day assault pack design. It becomes our best seller.
- Today$2M donated
