Intertool BX-9020
I advise you to purchase this model for those who need a durable backpack with the necessary pockets and compartments, but in the middle price category. This model was made of textiles, but using modern technologies. It is very stable and also has a waterproof bottom. It costs an average of 2,000 rubles.
The transforming bag from the Russian manufacturer "Zubr" is in the budget price category, it costs about 1,500 rubles. It is made of textiles, very roomy and durable. This model is made according to modern technologies, has a durable waterproof bottom and 17 pockets. You can carry the bag using two small handles or using a shoulder strap. The only drawback would be that it is a bag and not a backpack. Therefore, before buying, you should think about whether it will be convenient to wear it and carry out repairs with it. For high-altitude work, for example, it is definitely not suitable.
