Rated 4 out of 5

Love it, overall. Will be a workhorse for larger loads.

I have the 100l version of this pack. It's heavy, but made very, very well and you won't find a much better suspension system. I'll use it mostly for winter trips when more space is required for larger bags and warmer clothes. My only complaint is that the hip belt was incredibly small. I had to tailor an extension for it. It would have been nice at this price point to have a few more inches of belt adjustment available.

Brute of a bag

At almost 8 lbs this bag empty is quite substantial. Heavy duty material, to withstand any environment but definitely adds weights to your adventure. Beside the weight, I found it a comfortable fit, a bit stiff and actually packing your gear into it takes a little getting used to. It's compartments and design didn't seem to resemble any backpack I have previously used. The features work great but for lack of better description, it takes some "learning" that wouldn't come with a backpack that was more intuitive. Bulletproof bag, and when it's all packed and strapped up, it's a great looking, tight package. But I feel access to the pockets could be much easier with some tweets.

About Fjallraven Kajka

Advanced trekking backpack that is extremely comfortable to carry with smart functions. Support system with Perfect Fit adjustment and main compartment with Wet/Dry areas. Durable, comfortable and loaded with functions - despite its fairly modest appearance, Kajka is an advanced trekking backpack in the classic Fjallraven spirit. Now upgraded with fine-tuned and improved functions and an innovative, one-of-a-kind wooden frame that impacts the environment considerably less than previously while maintaining its strength and functionality.

The support system is designed to distribute even extremely heavy loads and the user-friendly Perfect Fit Adjustment System allows easy adjustment for different bodies - in terms of both back length and width between shoulder straps. The generous hip belt offers a high degree of carrying comfort on long hiking days. The main compartment is loaded from the top and has a snow lock. It also has a large vertical opening in the front and another one at the bottom to help the user get an easy overview of the contents. It can be divided into an upper and lower section. The lower section has Wet/Dry compartments to keep damp and dirty equipment from the rest of your things. There are also practical zippered pockets in the top lid, sides and hip belt.

The top cover can be removed and worn as a waist or chest bag when you want to keep a close eye on your valuables. Two compression straps on each side fasten onto small poles for even and effective compression without blocking the side pocket openings. Attachment points on the top cover and bottom of the backpack. Whistle on the chest strap and rain cover with reflectors. Kajka has been praised by hikers all over the world as well as by the trade press. Amongst other things, it was named 2009 Product of the Year by the Swedish outdoor magazine, Utemagasinet and Best in Test by Retkis, a Finnish publication, in its large backpack test in 2011.
