@@VictorGarciaR I own an RP80. It's made for Varusteleka by Savotta, same materials and craftsmanship as their excellent Jääkäri line of packs. It's large, durable, stable, modular, adjustable, comfortable. Great pack. For the price, I think it should come with a sternum strap. Doesn't, so I added one. The current version doesn't have any top compression straps either, and this is because the RP80 is set up to accept a small daypack as a "top lid" that compresses down. I use a Jääkäri S for this, attached horizontally with some spare utility straps, and it works well. Easy to rig up some top compression straps or go without. Even without any extras, it's significantly heavier and more expensive than an Osprey or similar. It'd be overkill for a lot of people. But I love mine and I'll try to answer any specific questions you have.

I just finished a year in the finnish army and that sparked an interest in camping and bushcraft. I already got a backpack from them and it's amazing!

The wool pants rip out is common, same thing happened to me. But its not just the Swiss surplus but a few wool pants designs rip out as well . Solution: suspenders, which should be worn anyway. The problem with rip out is worsen with pants legs tucked into high ride boots like Muck boots.

There's a lot of regrets by those who took the shots. Good to you standing against injections for patients and self. As to wool pants, you'll find lots more available in the men's section at thrift stores. Just make sure the fit and use a Marino base layer if you want extra warmth and comfort. If you picked up a couple pairs or a blanket, the material would make a nice warm skirt too. Here's a blessing that might make your day. Please ask if you have any questions. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6pk1NCnhcfRXaw.html

I like your evolution through the old school surplus wool. I'm loving the versatility of wool head to toe too.. It's surprising how you can stay warm through such a wide temperature range. I wonder if you can describe what you would change on those Verusteleka pants now that you've worn them a season or two? For instance, do your lower legs get hot from the additional layer and wish you had a removable gator instead? I have my favorite 50/50 Cotton/ nylon ripstop and 500 Cordura nylon to add to my sweet swiss, etc wool pants for town and field next fall. I want to do those projects properly. Any suggestions?

@EnduranceRoom

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Sounds like a great project you are planning. As far as what I would change on these, not much. They have been really great. Definitely a cold weather garment. The ripstop adds quite a bit in terms of heat retention. Personally, I really enjoy using gaiters. I have a set of old Swiss waxed wool gaiters and think they are a really great option. Wear them as needed for cold and wet weather, remove them as conditions improve. All the best with your project!

I've been curious about this product myself, but I currently live in Texas where the lowest it might get is -8c, also varusteleka can be expensive.

Same here. They have a great thing going. I really like the Boltaron. I was unsure at first if I would like it, as it sits high on the belt, but this keeps it up out of the way when sitting or riding in a vehicle. I can also wear it with my backpack which is a huge plus for me. I have the leather sheath as well, which is really nice, but the Boltaron is the one I favor of the two. Happy mew year!
