I'm in two minds between 15&25. I'm 6ft 50" chest... Concern is the 15 might look a bit like a school pack on me 🤣🤣 so id go for 25...but can it be sinched down to be a smaller pack for smaller loads

Love the videos. Keep going bro, from London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇺🇲

I saw your video converting the Askare into a chest rig, is it possible to do the same to the Kukkaro?

Hello a question Will the 6 and 8 liters pouches fit the 25 liters? Thx

I wanted to come back after ordering a Kahakka 15 just now. This has to be one of the most underrated and best hidden secrets when it comes to gear channels. Keep up the great work Tim! I'm eagerly awaiting my backpack now as well as your attachment video. One note. It would be great if you review backpacks and other sorts of luggage/bags in the future if you could show the capacity with some everyday items. I guess a lot of people are wondering if their laptops for example will fit.

Does the 25L combine as well as the 15L with the KUKKARO? Or does it just look too big for the KUKKARO Im thinking about getting the 25L as I want to be combine it with EDC and day hiking/camping

Thanks for an amazing review. If you put a Hatka or an Askare on it you loose the ability to fold out the side pockets?

I can’t tell if I want one of these or a jaakari. Thank you for your service.

Chonk😽

Been away outdoors for 2 weeks. Glad to come back to 2 new videos!

Hilarious. And I have the small one in my Savotta backpack as an emergency towel. Which is a family joke. And yes I am a Savotta nerd. 😂

Great content Tim. I have mine on order and will be looking to create a chest rig attaching it to my Savotta L backpack. I will let you know how I get on.

How smooth is the back panel? Is the 500D smooth enough to avoid damaging clothing?

I've never seen this towel review video before😂

Nooo its your intro Bro! Even if you get a camera specificly for videos you got to keep saying it

Great review. Thank you for your work! I bought a Jääkäri L second hand a while ago for longer hikes and fell totally in love with it. Today my brand new Kahakka 25l arrived for everyday use, and what can i say? Beautiful piece of equipment. The biggest surprise for me were the side pockets. Huge is just understatement 😅 Now i've ordered some shock cord and pack straps to modify it a little bit. Savotta all the way! 😎🤘🏻

I have a large amount of YKK buckles from backpacks that I "modified" by removing straps and buckles that I had no use for lol. Reused two of them for makeshift compression straps.

Missed the opportunity to open this video with a friendly "buckle up guys" 😞

Do you have us some links or product details?

Hey man, can you rate Savotta's Foam Mat? I bought her in passing when I was buying other products, but I don't know what it works for.

Nice review, thanks! Does the german sleeping mat also fit into the back "pocket" instead of the foam pad? If it does not fit with the standard folding, it maybe fits if you fold it lengthwise (like this: th-cam.com/video/x45wLxYsG08/w-d-xo.html). Would be really interesting to know!

Make a list here of the DIY stuff you want to see at Varusteleka. I will annoy them for you. 👇👇👇

You are by far the most creative person when it comes to modifications and improvisations.

This video appeared in my recommended feed. YT must be reading my mind because I have a box of various bagged plastic parts, mostly from ITW but also a few 2M pieces. I always want extras on hand for my gun belt, chest rig, plate carrier, backpacks, etc. Sometimes I do some arts 'n crafts with them. What's that hip belt you're working on? I've been looking around for a simple one for my ATS RAID II pack. I was thinking about just making one out of 1.5" webbing and some ITW hardware.

Once again the Good Guys!

I’d pay double for stuff not made in China ,Savotta is the best company ! Good videos mate ,keep it real ,stay true to yourself and you will go far.

I did a big order from TacticalTrim in Germany and it's really sad to compare prices, most female and male buckles Savotta/Varusteleka charge €2.90 for costs between €0.49-€0.79 at TT, plus they have a bajillion different models and sizes. Savotta/Varusteleka wins in shipping and customer service, all day every day, but putting down a big order of random buckles, bungee cord, cord stops, tactical toggles, etc pays off quick with the savings! Appreciate your videos, always interesting and I always learn something new :)

Stumbled upon your channel when searching for the Savotta Hatka..Long story short, found a Mint Hatka at the Salvation Army(!) for 20$.. Needless to say, I purchased it and am now a Savotta fan boy. Been aware of the brand for a while (thanks to Varusteleka). Great channel and cool that you’ve relocated to Europe (welcome :-)). Keep up the awesome work. You got yourself a new follower from Sweden. Things you might wanna talk about: the Bahco Laplander and/or gear from Prometheus Design Werx (California 😉). Ok, rant over.

I feel like if you’re not needing to pack a tent or sleep system, the 15 is better than the 25. The 25 is still almost too small for an overnighter unless you’re sleeping on the ground. I think the 15 is just a better all around daypack for non military use.

Wooo good review!

Where did you get the smile morale patch? They only have sad faces on the V site.

Great video! Where's the t-shirt from?

You sold me on this pack. I think it’s maybe going to replace my “M” to be honest.

Are the interior compartments waterproof on the 15l and 25l? I see that rubberized coating on the inside so I was wondering. That'll probably be the deciding factor on purchasing for me.

I have always just washed my wool socks and woollen thermal underwear with regular clothes. Never had problems with them... Wool shirts etc. I just never wash, if they smell sweaty I put them outside to air for a few days and they smell like new (well, like outdoor so good) again. But I am lazy and probably you keep your clothes in better shape actually treating them well. If I had expensive wool clothes I'd probs take better care of them (I have Varusteleka wool flanel shirt and treat it like my other shirts, no problems so far, have used it for almost a year and washed it like twice).

I noticed that you have so much stuff from Finland and you are most likely now Finnished! : DD (Or not even started? 🤔)

Do you have experience with the raincover of savotta for the Jaakari? Is it worth buying it? I am currently using the fjallraven 65L raincover. It works great with the strap cords. I even used it as a flight bag for my Jaakari. However it's blue and I am looking for something a bit more stealthy.

It is only you who is to blame that i've bought not only the kahakka 25 but also the jääkari m, the kukkaro, the hatka, the askare and the fdf sleeping pad. Shame on you. 😊

Wool > polyester any day 🤝

Could you link us to that German sleeping mat? That is so thin

Never knew it was this easy to take care of merino wool, thanks for sharing mate i might just get some now

I've been using the Woolpower wool washing liquid which also contains lanolin, so probably similar to these. Works great, the clothes feel very soft afterwards. Have completely switched to wool under layers for all seasons except summer. Might try these Varusteleka ones too, so far I've only tried their socks which are quite good.

God, i'm going to buy all the store of Savotta and Varusteleka. Help.. i need help

Link to cleaner and conditioner...if possible. Thanks.....

It's perfect for towel-day.

Favorite color: BLUE

I do not need a €65 towel. No one in their right mind needs that towel. And my budget says NO as well! But then again it said no to S, M, L, Hatka, Keikka30, 50, 80 and whole bunch of other stuff.... I'll tell my wife it is your fault.

Nice to see you back again! And yes, I think we all are big Savotta nerds indeed

Linen really needs to make a big comeback, it is awesome material. Nothing better than linen bed clothes, so cool and nice. I have few linen shirts too, perfect for Finnish summers. I have been trying to buy more natural materials, I really don't like the idea of surrounding myself with plastics (it is impossible to be without them, but I want to minimise my plastic footprint). We used to grow it a lot here in Finland, but it fizzled out almost completely at one point. Now it is coming back ever so slowly.

Blue or yellow is great with me!
