DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The carrying system is based on the venerable LJK paratrooper pack frame, an external frame made from aluminium tubing, and offers a very wide height adjustment range for a perfect fit. This pack is designed to carry extremely heavy loads, just like its military predecessors have been doing since the early 1980s.

Roll top on the top, zipper on the bottom and a cinch cord divider inside allow you to use the main pack bag in any which way you please. By opening up the divider the main bag is turned into one huge cavernous space, allowing you to pack very large and long items. The bottom zipper offers quick access to whatever gear you need most during the day whilst the roll top guarantees weatherproof protection for the bulk of your gear.

The bottom zipper compartment features interior elastic compression straps and four small mesh pockets for organizing your gear. A zippered pocket inside the lid offers safe storage for your wallet, keys, travel documents and phone.

The roll top closure, floating lid and side compression straps offer a wide range of adjustability to the volume of the pack. Strap it down tight or loosen it up depending on the carried load. The compression straps allow for further gear to be attached on the outside of the pack if necessary. External side pouches on the bottom can be used to secure tools, tripods etc. strapped to the sides of the pack.

A hydration compartment is attached to the interior back wall. Tube ports on both sides allow you to route your hydration bladder tube from the left or right, while leaving the other port free for other uses such as antennas or cables.

MILITARY GRADE MATERIALS

The majority of materials we use for our commercial production are the same which we use in equipment for the Finnish Defence Forces and other defence and security clients. Our most commonly used fabric in load carrying equipment is extremely wear resistant 1000D Cordura, as per FDF specs, with polyurethane coating on the inside. The webbing  and edge tape we use are, again as per FDF specs, strong polyester webbing in various widths and thicknesses for different applications.

Our green and M05 camouflage materials and accessories are by default compliant with strict FDF specs for NIR reflection levels, as should be since these same materials are used in official military equipment.

MODULARITY

PALS webbing on the hip belt, sides, lid and bottom of the pack allow you to attach additional pouches and gear. This system offers numerous options for configuring the pack to suit your specific needs. Not only for pouches though, the PALS webbing can also be used to attach utility straps, shock cord, carabiners etc.

The hip belt can be removed from the frame for use as a stand-alone equipment belt. With suitable pouches attached you could use this instead of, or in conjunction with, a small daypack. The hip belt length is adjustable from 70 to 140 cm, offering an optimal fit for a waist-hip circumference (measured at the level where you prefer the top of the hip belt to sit) of approx. 80-110 cm.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE CARRYING SYSTEM

When carrying heavy backpacks over long distances it is extremely important that your pack fits just right. The length adjustable hip belt and shoulder harness can both be moved up and down the frame to fit 160-200 cm tall users. The external LJK tubular aluminium frame keeps the pack from sagging and transfers the pack weight onto your hips even when loaded down with heavy and cumbersome cargo.

Both the shoulder harness and hip belt are generously padded with thermoformed closed cell foam padding. The shoulder harness is S-shaped and includes a removable sternum strap. The forward pull adjustment on the hip belt is easy to tighten even under load. The side release buckle offers quick and easy opening when needed.

The tall LJK frame offers good load lifting capabilities. Load lifters are attached between the top of the frame and the shoulder harness, these provide quick and easy adjustment of the balance point. Use these to switch the balance of the pack when traversing varying terrain or just to rest your hips or shoulders while on the move.

 LJK EXTERNAL FRAME

The LJK frame was originally designed by Savotta in the early 80’s for the Finnish Defence Forces paratroopers as a part of the LJK backpack. It has since been adapted for various other uses and backpack models and is still going strong today. Besides the Finnish military we too still use it as the basis for some of our commercial external frame backpacks.

Made from lightweight, high strength aluminium tubing. Each LJK frame is precision welded by hand at our in-house metal workshop in Karstula, Finland.

Savotta Side Pouch 8L:

Large eight litre backpack side pouch with rudimentary internal organization and external compression strap loops. Really nothing too fancy, but just what you need from a side pouch on your backpack. With a capacity of eight litres this is clearly a larger side pouch, perhaps best used on large and tall backpacks of 60-100+ litres.

The zipper is covered for added water repellency and protection from abrasion and dirt. The vertical webbing on the front keeps the compression straps of your backpack neatly in place over the pouch, allowing them to properly compress the pouch as well. These can also be used as attachment points for bungee cords, carabiners and stuff like that.

A 25 mm webbing loop and D-ring on the top of the rear interior wall allow you to secure small and important stuff, the flat rear compartment offers rudimentary organization for smaller stuff. The bottom and bottom halves of the sides are lined with 210D polyamide for added abrasion resistance. A grommet offers drainage of any water that may seep into the pouch.

The rear features our standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. The middlemost horizontal webbing rows were eliminated as they didn’t really do anything besides add weight. We aren’t a ultralight gear manufacturer, but even we don’t like unnecessary weight.

The two vertical attachment straps leave a approx. 9 cm wide gap between them, this allows you to carry stuff such as axes, fishing poles etc. stuffed down behind the pouch.

Note.  Savotta manufactures this product in Finland, Estonia and Poland. Country of manufacture is labeled to the product.

A sturdy and versatile bike for all kinds of use, but certainly not to everyone's liking. The carrier feels like forever, although the stuffing of the shoulder straps is a bit spared (which can be felt in the collarbones when wearing one shirt in the summer). The hip belt adjustments are enough for anyone, which is a good feature for this slimming line. Due to the shape and size of the main pocket, the pack likes to remain top-heavy, but with a little use of the head you can get by with that too. For example, the things of a three-night summer camping trip could fit in the bag without overfilling and additional pockets, which means that with a couple of additional pockets and a loose strap, a week's trip will last all year round. Plus the modifiability, "boxiness" and bombproof quality. Weaknesses, in my opinion, are the rolltop instead of the traditional snow lock and perhaps the low hardness of the shoulder pads. For a weight-watching hiker, this is also a very heavy pack. I recommend it to everyone who doesn't mind the appearance and a few extra grams.

Great ! An excellent professional bag. Very solid, large capacity and remains comfortable on the back even when loaded. I am a shepherd and for my part, finally a bag that allows me to take all of my equipment without having, neither the impression of making him vomit, nor too much pain in the shoulders with heavy loads, or even without having the certainty that it will be completely dead in 2 or 3 years. Time will tell, but I may have finally found the bag of a lifetime.

Really good for carrying a heavy load and can be adjusted well even for a 195cm person. Not the lightest end, but really good and satisfied with the product.
