A rucksack is a vital piece of equipment in the woods because it's used to carry everything else. Most importantly, you should be able to haul things without breaking yourself, but the Savotta Jääkäri XL rucksack does that and then some.

Main compartment

The main compartment is designed to hold the necessary supplies even on a longer hike or mission. It is closed with a waterproof rolltop method that enables freely adjustable overpacking. The rolltop opening is locked with a 25 mm (1") quick-release fastener and covered by a flap that hugs the top of the backpack and is secured with straps.

The generous length of the straps provides ample space under the flap for extra supplies, such as a sleeping bag. Furthermore, there is a very spacious zippered pocket for storing valuables.

Inside the bag, there is a divider that can be closed to split the bag into two sections. The top section includes a pocket against the back that will easily hold a modern 13.3-inch laptop or smaller pads. In the middle at the lower section of the rolltop, there is a protected exit for a hydration bladder hose, cable, or antenna.

The contents of the bottom part of the bag can be accessed quickly through a zippered opening. The back of the bottom section has adjustable elastic bands with quick-release fasteners for tying gear. Additionally, the bottom part flap has four mesh pockets for storing loose objects and valuables.

Compression and external carrying capacity

With the rolltop and compression straps of the bag, the Jääkäri rucksack can be tightened so that it sits firmly and does not jiggle around even when not full. The compression straps have been equipped with quick-release fasteners, which can be easily detached.

Using the compression straps, it's also easy to hang items outside the bag. The straps are long enough to extend over the backpack all the way to the opposite attachment point, if necessary.

The bottom of the backpack has two rows of PALS webbing through which the straps can be run. This means that equipment can be tied to the bottom of the backpack as well. Tying to the bottom is an excellent carrying method for rolled sleeping mats, for example. There are also attachment points on the hip belt.

On the sides, there are pockets with an elasticized opening where you can place small supplies, a long tool, or a water bottle. The neck of the bottle can be tied firmly in place with a strap.

Carrying system

The rucksack is extremely sturdy thanks to its strong, manually welded DUR aluminum frame and fully adjustable carrying system. The support frame holds the Jääkäri XL firmly in shape and distributes the burden anatomically to your hips so that you are never overstrained even with the largest of loads.

The wide shoulder straps of the rucksack have been designed with ergonomics and comfort in mind. The shoulder straps also have a separate adjustment for the distance of the rucksack's frame. This is used in certain terrain and when you want to transfer more of the burden to your hips.

The detachable hip belt is fastened with a sturdy quick buckle and has a padding pillow against your back. The inward-tightening buckle is easy to open but will not open by accident.

The comfortable hip belt has an adjustment range of 70–140 cm (27.6"–55"). The length is the user's hip circumference with clothes on. Savotta has made the hip belt a bit smaller to ensure that the rucksack is comfortable for a wider range of users.
