Stupid durable, being able to attach shit to the outside is nice. Anons cry about the shoulder straps but you can always invest in extra padding or tampons.
It's not a long haul pack.
It's heavy and the strap configuration is optimized to be compatible with combat gear and not comfort.
It's basically meme gear for try hard trying to look cool.
That's subjective
Osprey is lighter and is way more comfortable. Savotta is a tactical brand so they sacrifice comfort for durability and the savotta is optimized for combat not hiking
I have an S M and L, along with one of their external frames they no longer make. Honestly, the S and L are okay if you have a purpose, but the M is fairly worthless unless you do a lot of winter day hikes.
True. I don't know why 30L are so promoted. They are either too big or too small for civilian task.
I have 202 and M.
202 is my edc, fits everything and the primitive shoulder straps are wonderful.
For daytrips the M is just too big, unless you carry lenses or.. i don't know a really big camera, food for entire group and three jackets for "what if it starts raining, snowing etc." (Okay, maybe reasonable if you live in Norway or smht like that)
Lastly, their latest release of hip bags. Nearly €70 for circa 2 L fanny pack? Yes, they look cool, minimalistic as expected but €70?
I'm 6'2 (188cm) and 210lbs (95kg) and a 20L backpack looks completely moronic on me. I have one. I need 30-40L to have a normal looking bag. Also my laptop is 17" with a full numpad and a gpu and will not fit in any 20L backpack. I'm looking at this 33L one.
Good point, never thought about it since I'm 170 and 70 kg.
It's true that my 15,6" Laptop makes it barely into 20 L with internal organizers (textile cover is no go). 202 is super plain so laptop could go inside with cover.
Laptop experience with Jääkäri M also was not very good, since the inside pocket is low-profile and protective padding is absent.
Btw, that's very nice looking pack. I just wish that Savotta could made something without ton of PALS like your pic or model 123, 323, 339 or the predecessor of Jääkäri M, the Kevyt Rajapartioreppu.
I had been using this fjallraven 20L rucksack no. 21 M for the last decade while I had a 15" thinkpad. But it definately looked moronic small on me. I should have ordered the 30L one. Fjallraven has seemingly discontinued almost everything that had leather parts and their newer "high coast" line is very very cheap feeling. I ordered the 26L foldsack and returned it. I haven't seen a savotta in person but it looks a little too like the 5.11 tactikool styles we have here in the US.
Have had their regular assault pack for years now; served me well on day trips, fishing and so on. Came apart at one of the seams last year but I stitched it back up and it's good to go. Adds a bit of character.
Knowing that these take heavy abuse and that I'm a drooling mongoloid, I also bought their large assault pack a year back for longer trips (or just bringing more shit). Still holding up just fine.
i have an m for work and fourwheeler/snowmachine trips
very durable and i like being able to strap various things to it
not comfortable to hike in so i would recommend something else for backpacking
I am planning on purchasing the Jääkäri M backpack for the role of my daily use pack. I was hoping that I could use it in reservist activities and on dayhikes as well. I currently have the 5.11 Rush 24 larpbag and the lack of the top flap really bothers me nowadays. Limits the way the backpack could be packed.
Also, my 5.11 glows underneath nods so it means that the backpack is no good for reservist use.
I have the S, I like it. I use it as a daypack or for overnighters. Thought about getting the M or L but I've got other shit I want to spend money on first.
I've got the L, which is compressible and works well for many purposes. I use mine to haul archery gear discreetly. I can fit an arrow tube with 35" arrows in the main compartment. The belt, however, is absolutely moronic, to put it very mildly. They use molle for attaching it to the bag and height adjustment. It's not very sturdy or reliable.
I also have the ljk day pack. It's like a Kånken for autistic hermits. I like it.
I don’t have a Savotta…but I do have an Eberlestock Battleship and Osprey Aether. Battleship is 10lbs empty, and way more durable than the Osprey. But sometimes I don’t need a 10lb overbuilt bag. Ospreys are great bags, tough, functional and well built. But it’s an apples to oranges comparison I’m certain scenarios
I have this exact bag, i use it as my work bag. I also take it caving too, but its a tad bulky for that even cinched down. I don't think I would ever take it on a serious hike.

Halfway decent bait, but you could stand to be more original
>telling the truth is b8
It's not b8, you're just moronic and can't counter it in any way that doesn't make obvious you're an idiot.
>you can't counter it without me automatically ignoring your points and calling you an idiot to try and maintain my bait
>Proves my right
God damn I love being psychic.
Enjoy your back problems huckster.
>back problems from a 20L bag
How frail are you, kek
I 'member when PrepHole had a janny, and savottaposting was a bannable offense.
>S
If you don't want to run an L then drop the brand
Savotta or Osprey? Which is better for hiking?
That's subjective
Osprey is lighter and is way more comfortable. Savotta is a tactical brand so they sacrifice comfort for durability and the savotta is optimized for combat not hiking
Osprey without a doubt. The only three things milsurp bags have going for them are durability, affordability, and modularity.
And Savotta’s bags aren’t affordable either even though they’re modeled after military gear.
There isn’t a osprey day pack that is comparable to jaakari s
No and for good reason.
Comparable in terms of what?
Functionality, durability, aesthetics
Osprey is better both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
The olive green colour is so beautiful
I have an S M and L, along with one of their external frames they no longer make. Honestly, the S and L are okay if you have a purpose, but the M is fairly worthless unless you do a lot of winter day hikes.

old and primitive tech that military branches pay pennies on the dollar for while autists pay top dollar.
being designed for military use it's no surprise it keeps up with your daytrips, anon. ospreys will also do that

Never had one of those but the older rucksack used by the military is dogshit.
Their sleeping pad seems nice
i can buy a military surplus for 30€
I have their water bag. It's very clever and I use it often.
I'm sure their gear is fine because they contract with the Finnish military iirc.
I have the S, I like it. I use it as a daypack or for overnighters. Thought about getting the M or L but I've got other shit I want to spend money on first.

I like 'em
But I don't like 'vottaposting.
Too bad
Not the literal dorkiest way to say "good morning".
fits 24 pack of beer nicely or 24+8 in extended mode.
I'm going to sell some blood plasma and buy this. It will only take 3 donation trips.
I have this exact bag, i use it as my work bag. I also take it caving too, but its a tad bulky for that even cinched down. I don't think I would ever take it on a serious hike.
