Jääkäri- XL Backpack:

The largest size Jääkäri backpack. This solid backpack is an improved model of the modular LJK paramilitary backpack. A backpack originally made for the Finnish Armed Forces.

Experiences of LJK users were merged with new ideas to create the Jääkäri backpack.

The backpack's slim shape makes it ideal for a bushcraft adventure on difficult terrain. The hip belt distributes the load over the iliac crest and the support frame keeps the backpack in shape and distributes the load over the hips, this ensures that the back and shoulders are not overloaded. Even with a very heavy pack, the backpack wears comfortably.

Despite its slim design, the backpack is still spacious enough to carry the complete equipment for a long trip.

The backpack is very strong, this is partly due to the aluminium frame and the supportive carrying system. The frame is attached to the supporting carrying system with MOLLE loops. Durable and high-quality materials have also been used. The backpack has been extensively tested in the field and cannot be broken (see video). Therefore, it also comes with a 10-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects.

The backpack is closed with a roll top, which is easy to close, even with gloves on. The way it closes also makes the backpack very water-proof. The roll-top adjusts perfectly to the pack volume. There are also compression straps to tighten the bag compactly when it is not full. The roll-top allows the backpack to hold between 80 and 100 litres and always remains sturdy.

The main compartment is covered with a flap that closes the top, the flap is secured with adjustable straps. This makes it possible to "overpack" the backpack if necessary. The straps are very long, this provides extra space for a sleeping bag or winter jacket, for example. There is also a spacious compartment (5 litre capacity) in the flap with a sturdy zip for any valuables.

Made in Finland.

Rick's choice

This backpack has been part of many of my bushcraft adventures! The external frame provides great carrying comfort and good ventilation on the back. It is quite large but still manageable and efficient to divide. Thanks to all the MOLLE attachments, I can hang all sorts of things on it.
