  • Made of 1000D Cordura nylon, these great packs from Lamnia are a fantastic choice for the bushcrafter, backpacker or for survival training. Each has MOLLE/PALS webbing and feature heavy duty 8 mm zippers and Delrin special plastic buckles. The medium holds up to 30 liters and the large up to 60 liters!
    PLEASE NOTE: These packs were stuffed full of blankets etc. for demonstration purposes only. I would never go out on a trip with them so loosely packed or adjusted.
    To purchase the Savotta Jakaari medium go to: www.lamnia.com/en/p/37109/bac...

    If you haven't checked out these great packs, then you are missing something! While they are a bit pricey, it is worth every bit of the money I spent on the one I purchased. When you are out in the wilderness, you cannot afford to have your backpack fail. I have seen cheap backpacks fail and I believe in paying for quality to avoid this issue. Lamnia is a great company and I think that you would get many years of use out of either one of these backpacks. Thanks for watching and please leave your comments below!

      Hey mr Waypoint, I'm 6'3" and I often find that smaller packs don't really work well with waist bands. It seems as if they're kind of short and that the waist band doesn't reach down to the right spot on the hip bone. Is the M like this or can I really load its waist band?
      I'm looking for a small pack to haul around heavy stuff (tools, more tools, food, water, no fluffy sleeping gear), but I really want to keep the weight on my hips rather than on my shoulders. Are my concerns valid or do you think the M would fit? The overall size of the L is kind of too big for me.

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  Před 4 lety +2

      To be truthful, I'm not sure it would fit you or not. I have a long torso and it adjusts well for me. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I just saw your comment today.

      @Heavy Shoe Thank you. You can also buy backpack strap pads which attach using Velcro from Maxpedition which work really well with the narrow Savotta straps. I use them on my medium and have carried loads in excess of 50 lbs or 22 k comfortably.

    I do have the Jääkäri L, I like how it is convertible nearly from Jääkäri S (which I also have) to full capacity which is not so said, because of the molle webbing... And because the lid and the waist belt are removable, it shrinks. Savotta has made the waist belt so that it can be used at its own, just add pouches to the molle.

    I'm buying a Large in September and truly appreciate your clear cut review thereof! I agree about the lack of side pockets as I intend to carry my 21" Sven saw under a 6ltr Savotta pouch (on either side) on one side and a Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel behind the pouch on the opposite side. The shovel will hold itself aloft by nature of it's shape but now I have to figure out a way to keep the saw from sliding down and out from behind the other pouch. I had originally purchased a Snugpak Endurance 40 which is virtually a civilian version of these packs but A-a little too flimsy compared to these beasts and B- a trifle small for my newby habit of over packing. My only other suggestion to Savotta would be to put webbing "wranglers" on any and every one of the many straps this Large bag comes festooned with! I was previously thinking of getting an ILBE to replace my Snugpak with but this pack is simply too close to perfect unlike the ILBE(which is "close" but not nearly as close to perfect as this unit! Thanks again for the fantastic review!

    If you get the Savotta L side pouches, you can mount the axe between the two molle rows.
    They left the width of two molle rows for that exact purpose.
    I will carry my Fiskars X7 axe like that and my large knife (Terävä Skrama 240) on the other side, if the sheath fits.
    Otherwise I'll just wear my JP Peltonen Sissipuukko M95 instead back there.

    The one drawback to the LG pack, is that you have to use the external bags, to carry extra...

I just added a hydration bag to go into the bag. The bottom pocket is for USMC 3S bag & compression sack. I use a DD Hammocks MC pyramid tent... and, I have my poncho liner inside my sleeping bag, just in case! It's durable, just not as large as an ALICE pack...

Been using it for a couple of years now, and I simply love the form factor and how the compartments are designed. And even at this modest price I was truly impressed by the quality of the sewing, fabrics, zippers etc. waterproof and around the same weight as the large one. It offers 55L of storage and full molle and hydration compatibility. For like 60$, I was afraid to buy it over the web at such a low price. But... It was a very pleasant surprise when I received it.
