Product Description

Savotta Jääkäri XL: Heavy Duty External Frame Pack

The Savotta Jääkäri XL is a heavy-duty external frame pack designed for those who need to carry extremely heavy loads comfortably. With a capacity of 70 liters, this pack is perfect for multi-day trips or extended periods in the wilderness. The Jääkäri XL is an improved model of the modular LJK paratrooper rucksack originally designed for the Finnish Defence Forces, featuring a PALS attachment system that offers great outwards scalability when you need it.

The carrying system is based on the venerable LJK paratrooper pack frame, an external frame made from aluminum 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. The external LJK tubular aluminum frame keeps the pack from sagging and transfers the pack weight onto your hips even when loaded down with heavy and cumbersome cargo.

The Jääkäri XL features a roll top with a floating lid and a cinch cord divider inside, allowing 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 while the roll top guarantees weatherproof protection for the bulk of your gear. A zippered pocket inside the lid offers safe storage for your wallet, keys, travel documents, and phone.

The pack also includes multiple small compartments for organizing your gear, as well as an internal hydration compartment (e.g., Source WLPS 3L) and side compression straps. PALS webbing on the hip belt, sides, lid, and bottom of the pack allows you to attach additional pouches and gear. The hip belt can be removed from the frame for use as a stand-alone equipment belt, and the hip belt length is adjustable from 70 to 140 cm, offering an optimal fit for a waist-hip circumference of approximately 80-110 cm.

With its height-adjustable carrying system, roll top with floating lid, multiple compartments for organizing gear, and PALS compatibility for attaching extra pouches, the Savotta Jääkäri XL is the perfect heavy-duty external frame pack for those who need to carry extremely heavy loads comfortably.

Is the Jääkäri XL backpack suitable for carrying heavy loads?

Yes, the Jääkäri XL backpack is designed to carry extremely heavy loads comfortably. It features an external frame design, height-adjustable carrying system, and generously padded thermoformed shoulder harness and hip belt.

Is the Jääkäri XL backpack made with military-grade materials?

Yes, the Jääkäri XL backpack is made with military-grade materials, including 1000D Cordura (100% polyamide) for the main material and 100% polyester for the webbing.

Is the Jääkäri XL backpack suitable for tall users?

The external LJK tubular aluminum frame also helps to keep the pack from sagging and transfers the pack weight onto your hips even when loaded down with heavy and cumbersome cargo.

Is the Savotta Jääkäri XL backpack waterproof or do I need to use a rain cover?

The main material used for the Savotta Jääkäri XL backpack is 1000D Cordura, which is water repellent and coated with polyurethane on the inside. While the fabric is technically waterproof, water can still seep in through seams and stitchlines, so the backpack is not 100% waterproof. We recommend using a rain cover in heavy rain to protect your belongings.

I just received my new Savotta Jääkäri XL backpack and noticed tiny holes on it, what are they for?

The small holes you see on your backpack are likely hot cloth drill marks used for marking attachment points for webbing or other details during the production process. These drill holes do not affect the quality or functionality of the backpack in any way.
