Fjallraven Kaipak 28 Backpack, UN Blue

My favourite Fjallraven all around, all year backpack for day trips. It is durable, low profile and fits my back very well. Better than Kaipak 38 (which I own as well) I would only change three things. Zippered front pocket could be made similar to Keb 52. With it is own space. Now when you put some gear inside the pocket it takes a bit space form the inside of the backpack. I guess it would be Kapiak 30 or so then. Loops for trekking poles could be a bit bigger so I could use them for ice axes as well. Now I attache a paracord to trekking pole lops (to make them a bit bigger) and use them with ice axes as well. Bigger top lid inside pocket. I like fixed brain, simple hip strap and clean minimalistic look.

I really like my Kaipak 28 as a daily user. I love that it is a top-loading pack, and the buckles are a great feature as well. I prefer this over a backpack that I have to zip up, because if I want to really stuff it full then it's a lot easier to close with a drawstring. It fits comfortably (I am a 5'3" 110 lb woman) but I wouldn't want anything larger for a day pack. It's also big enough that I could use it as an overnighter if needed. My only complaint is the lack of colour choices. The navy blue is a beautiful, dusty blue (lighter in person than in the photos) but I would have loved an olive or forest green colour like some of the other styles.
