Fjällräven Kajka 75 Trekking Backpack Review

Фильм және анимация

A quick review and a closer look at my Fjällräven Kajka 75 Trekking Backpack. I've been using this backpack now for a few years, it's made to the usual Fjällräven standard and is robust enough for the needs of bushcraft backpackers and multi-day/week/month hikers.
Here's a link to the Fjällräven site if you want to look at the specs/details further -
www.fjallraven.com/uk/en-gb/b...
Although it's a heavy backpack at 3.3kg it's extremely comfortable and handles heavy weight brilliantly. The pack doesn't look overly 'technical' which I like, but it has a few advanced features that make it a truly versatile pack, it's well worth a look if you are in the market for a heavy duty pack.
At the time of filming the RRP of the pack is £340, but if you keep your eyes open on-line you should be able to pick one up for around the £250 mark, I paid £238 from www.trekitt.co.uk (I have no affiliation, but have bought a fair amount of kit from them and can recommend).

    Hiya mate, I hope you are keeping well and enjoyed your Christmas. Well I bite the bullet and went for the 100ltr version in forest green. I thought the 100ltr would suit my body size better. I appreciated your advice on sizing. Word to the wise, I added my pack to my Amazon basket and the price fluctuated from £384 all the way down to £249. This price changed daily, I managed to bag mine (sorry unintentional pun😏) for £249 which I was so pleased with. A beautifully made pack which I can't wait to try out properly. Happy new year, I hope we all get out and about a bit more in 2021. Cheers 🍻 Seamus

    I’ve been searching for a front opening backpack for awhile now. This helped me a lot. I bring a long telephoto lens with me and front opening allows me to access the camera with the lens attached easily. The side opening packs were no good because the very expensive lens would have to live without any padding on one side. Very risky. This solves everything.

I have several pairs of the Vidda pro britches, because ......why have 10 pairs of surplus combats when you can have one pair of Viddas? It's all Ray Mears' fault. With his Gransfors Bruk axes and such. We were all happy in our our Rohan bags, using £6 Wilkinsons hatchets and £5 "sheath knives" until he came along. :)

Once it's weighed down it will sit at the level you have adjusted it at as the weight pulls the bag down on the harness. It's a bit difficult to explain, but what you're adjusting is the length between the hip belt and the back pad and the system relies on gravity to maintain the fit. Hope that helps!

I'm more interested in the 100L as my wife is tiny so she'd carry the light stuff and the rest, well, goes on my back. Hard to find any reviews for the 100L though. Either it's crap, too new, or people who carry it are still recovering ....

    😂 yeah the 100L is a big rucksack, I met a guy using one a few years ago when I was hiking up to the Preikestolen in Norway; the guy was about 6ft8 and built like a barn door though. The lid expands pretty far on these bags so you could always carry a dry bag up top if you needed extra capacity on the 75 or 85L. Great quality rucksack though and should last years.

    @@Adventure-Outdoors After further thought, and thinking on the days that are snowy or proper cold (aka, no wife in tow), I do believe the 100L would just be overkill. Due to this and the expandability under the top lid, as you mention, I think the 75L would be in order. I was torn between this and the 85L but the 85L is 84CMs tall and would be over my head (in more ways than 1). I think that top lid expandability is how to get away with more gear than the pack can carry. Thanks again for the review.

    Hi, thank you for an in depth honest review. I'm considering the Fjallraven Kajka myself. Could you tell me roughly your dimensions (Height, weight etc). The 75 litre seems to fit you well. I'm trying to work out what size is best for me. Would you recommend the 75 litre or the 100 litre? Is the 100 litre too big? Problem is there's not many high street shops that stock them for trying for size. I would appreciate your thoughts/advice. Cheers

    Hi Seamus, I'm 5'10 and 180lbs, the 75 litre is perfect for most of my needs. There have been a few times where I could've done with some extra space, usually when winter camping with my wife when I needed to carry more provisions. But travelling solo the 100L would be too big I reckon. With the 75L, you can always strap a dry bag to the top if more space is needed. It might be worth ordering both online and sending one back and keeping the one you think will fit you best? Hope that helps 👍

    I own one too. One size bigger (85 Liter). Which is even heavier (about 3500 gr). Still, this backpack has advantages over many other backpacks. But that is not so easy to explain. Hence, the lengthy explanation below. Reason: Your backpack is, or should be, just one item of a multipurpose backpacking system. Here goes the explanation... Most long distance backpackers do have an excellent backpack weighing about a 1000 grams (or even less). And those long distance hikers think I am barking mad to use such a heavy backpack. And perhaps they are right. But... The heavy quality of this specific backpack gives me some ease of mind when being in remote places for a considerable amount of time (months). But more importantly this backpack is very comfortable with an excellent/optimum weight distribution between hip and shoulders. Which offsets the disadvantage of the backpack being heavier. I.e. it "feels" lighter. Though it of course isn't. Which may be noticeable in long and steep inclines. But all that was not my main criteria. My main critera was (and is) the ease of use in bad weather. Specifically rain. And I explain... When it rains in the morning I like to pack in dry conditions. Meaning I like to pack while inside my tent. And the fact that the backpack opens like a suitcase makes it so much easier to pack while inside the tent. I have several tents but the tent I use mostly for my long distance hiking is the Hilleberg Enan. Using this tent I have the option to pack the inner tent separately while still being in/under the erected outer shell. I can crawl out of this outer shell already wearing my backpack and poncho cover (I prefer a poncho, as explained below). The only thing I have to do is break down and pack the wet outer shell in the (potential pouring) rain. Explanation of "Why I wear a poncho instead of a raincoat/pants"... A raincoat/pants is wonderful ... as long as you don't move. The moment you move it is (most often) hot due to the workout. And it gets wet from the inside (sweating). It is also a hassle to put on and of in between showers. Less so (or not at all) using a poncho. But before discussing the advantages of a poncho I have to discuss the disadvantages first. Disadvantages: 1) You cannot take your backpack of without taking of your poncho first. As such getting soaked anyway in the rain. And sometimes you need something from your backpack (water, food, toilet paper, a map or your phone. NB I do not rely on phone navigation or communication ... but some people do). 2) A poncho is noisy. Because it is not a bodily tight fit, it flies in all directions. Even in mild windy conditions. 3) A poncho may be a hassle while walking through thick bushes or narrow passages, getting caught all over the place. 4) A poncho does not cover your legs below the knee (or there about). Your lower legs will get wet. And, depending on weather conditions your legs may get uncomfortably cold. And in severe conditions may contribute to hypothermia. As to 4) You can use gamaschen (aka gaiters), long wool socks or still use some kind of rain pants. However, if conditions are so bad you risk hypothermia it might be wiser to make camp and wait out the bad weather. However, in my personal experience as a 3-seasons hiker I rarely experience such extreme conditions. In fact, I only experienced such conditions once (in a 2,400 kilometer trip). As long as the rest of your body is dry, and assuming you are not exhausted, dehydrated and are adequately fed, your exposed lower legs can tolerate a surprisingly low temperature in wet windy conditions. Provided, and I cannot emphisize this enough, you can keep your feet warm. How to keep warm feet I explain later. As to the disadvantages points 1) to 3) ... all this is a nonissue with the following dedicated poncho. Or actually purposely designed poncho-like rain garment for the long distance backpacker. See: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYyV0Zqpoa_am5c.html The man showing the packa is a bit hyper. But he shows the versatility and usefulness of the packa well. The packa cannot handle a high backpack hood very well. And this is where the Kajka shines. You can take the hood of, but so can every modern backpack. However, unlike most backpacks (actually, unlike all backpacks I know) you can click and attach the hood in front of you. And that has some major advantages. Advantages: 1) You can pack most, if not all, of your daily needs in front of you in the hood (toilet paper, food, maps, phone, even 0,5 to 1 liter of water, and the like). And use this without taking your poncho of. 2) wearing the hood in front of you makes the packa not touching your body. This is an advantage because you don't lose heat through direct conduction between the rain on the outside and your body contact at the inside of the packa. 3) You create a pocket area between your body and the packa. Which results in a open airy less sweaty environment when walking. Though, granted, the hood itself is relatively tight to your body in the front. Creating the opposite effect, a sweaty area. Specifically in warm weather rainy conditions. Limitations: 1) You cannot attach any long items on the outside of your backpack. e.g. no full length trekking poles or skis. Otherwise the backpack rain cover part of the Packa won't fit. 2) Having the hood in front of you does make you fat. Which might be a problem in tight areas (some parts of the Appalachian trail. But no problem at all on the Pacific Crest trail). 3) If you yourself are fat to start with then having the hood in front of you might not be an option at all. How to keep warm feet. And I mean warm. Not dry feet. In fact, don't even try to keep dry feet. It is a futile exercise for most realistic long distance hikes. For what to use to keep your feet warm see: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWWI0rdrmsatdpM.html These neoprene socks shown in this video are rather thick. Personally I have thinner ones. Use these neoprene socks in combination with: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4B2162xZJbWkbA.html Trail runners have an open fabric. You "pump out" the water while walking. They dry out relatively quickly when walking. More importantly, they dry out quickly enough to be "walkable". Maybe not completely dry but comfortabe enough to be walkable. The combination of trailrunners together with neoprene socks is what keeps your feet warm given certain extreme conditions. I am talking hiker extreme. Not antartica or mount everest extreme. One word of warning. Neoprene socks will smell terrible when used. And this smell is hard to get rid of (even several machine washings won't help). Use neoprene socks only when absolutely needed, Store these socks separately and consider it to be a thrown away item after relatively a few usages. As such buy the cheapest neoprene (replacement) socks you can find. Under less extreme weather conditions a long and thick heavy duty wool sock will likely keep your feet warm enough. Socks like: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i46ao7N-dLOohMo.html As to the trail runners ... ensure these shoes are one or several sizes larger than your regular shoe size. This not only to fit a thin neoprene or a thick wool sock but also because your feet will expand naturally during intensive hikes. Important! Always dry your feet at the camp site. Clean them, massage them. Use some lightweight dry footwear at the camp site. Store your wet socks in a dry bag and keep it with you in your sleeping bag to prevent freezing when in freezing conditions. Do the same with your trail runners. Always keep your neoprene socks separately. On a side note: Why I choose to use the Hilleberg Enan tent. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmRt29WkmKyWprA.html First the disadvantages of the Enan: 1) The tent is relatively heavy (1200 grams). 2) There are many 2-wall tents with the same weight that have more floor space and more head room. 3) There are single wall tents that are even lighter with more floor space and more head room (about 800 grams. Note: some claim even lighter, But that is the weight with the minimum and least effective stakes and without the weight of the trekking poles. I don't use trekking poles and I do use more storm reliable stakes). 4) Hot in certain weather conditions (e.g. when erected as a 2-wall tent directly in the sun without any shade). 5) Due to the low profile more susceptible for condensation. Though manageable. Advantages of the Enan: 1) The strongest tent in its class. Highly tear resistent. Unrivaled fit and finish quality (but also. consequentially, more expensive than other like looking tents). 2) Due to its lower profile more storm resistant than many comparable tents. 3) A smaller footprint is an advantage in tight locations. 4) Versatility. The option to erect only the outer tent wall, only the inner wall, use both walls erecting simultaneously or erect the inner and outer wall separately. Why the Enan? Because I wanted a reliable tent for diverse weather conditions. Why don't I use a trekking pole tent, combining trekking poles with a tent? Because I have nerve damage in my right arm. Walking with anything in my right hand is uncomfortable. Would I recommend a lightweight single wall tent to others? I don't know. I have no personal experience with single wall trekking pole tents. But I do understand it is tempting to save about half a kilogram of weight on your back. Especially for a tent that, at the same time. is roomier.

    A very good video I have the same pack how someone would carry the 100 Ltre one I don't know I am on the west coast Isle of Skye if you're ever up this way and need a b&b look us up. Kilmuir Park. Also, like the Norway stuff keep safe and well to you both. kind regards Ian

    What I don't like with this backpack is that you have to unclip 4 clips plus the top lid to be able to open the front. With a half price bag like the deuter aicontact pro you can directly open the front since it opens from the bottom and not the top. That's way more practical when you spend weeks and months sleeping outdoor. Only one zip operation and you can set up your camp, then pack everything again and in one zip you're ready to go. The Lungdags Gnaur is a bit better than the kajka too about that. But what I really like is the side pocket zip on the back side.

    Hi, no it's not waterproof, but it comes with a rain cover. The Keb is advertised as waterproof but according to the Fjallraven website it only has waterproof material on the sides and on the base so I'm guessing you'll still need a rain cover in heavy rain?

    @@MrDosonhai The only velcro on the bag can be found on the 2 walking pole loops on the back so I wouldn't worry about it! The only concern is the weight of the pack, it is heavy, so I'd keep that in mind. It doesn't bother me but other people find the bag too heavy at 3.3kg. It's a very robust bag though 👍

    The best and last rucksack I’ve had yet had quality issues with two zip loops breaking off so concerned about a longer trip. (Lost receipts). Wrong colour sent by supplier. The birch beams can be replaced by the alloy rods which hold the rear lid. There are other features. By far the most comfortable bag I’ve had…. But it is heavy. 25kg with this would feel lighter than 25kg elsewhere as the carry system is so good. Oozes quality but my one missed out?! Right on; where are the straps for the bottom? I’ll be walking when carrying so if made from Teflon and alloy I’d be eco happy; when will they stop selling on a rucksack or boots eco credentials when comfort and non failure far more important. Coming from military was concerned about use of Velcro on back to that extent but heard no complaints . Fallraven review will show more features as there are manufacturer one. Otherwise VG.

    Hi Mike, the bag is definitely a little heavy! If I left the beer behind it would be less on an issue 😂. Probably next spring for any overland adventures unfortunately, we took a bit of a financial hit with the virus. Are you going anywhere? There still seems to be plenty of folk heading off in their trucks to Europe 👍

    For over £300 I think it has less features and the weight is over the top, but if you are looking a brand name I suppose you can't go far wrong.
