Fjallraven Kajka 65 review

The Kajka 65 is the traditional choice. Fjallraven builds it around a wooden frame and says the pack distributes heavy loads well, though it does not publish a load rating. The latest version is lighter, uses recycled materials in the lining and reinforcements, and is easier to repair. The body is Vinylon F with recycled 500D polyamide. Back length adjusts from 41 to 58 cm, shoulder width is adjustable, and there are 10 pockets plus loops for the separately sold Kajka Side Pocket. S/M models taper the shoulder straps and shorten the hipbelt; M/L models use longer straps for wider torsos. It is the heaviest pack we compared at 3,150 g for M/L and the most expensive at $400, so it suits hikers who value durability and repairability over low weight. We compared documented features and published prices and did not carry the pack.
