Savotta | Jääkäri M Backpack
See all Happy Work giftsDescription
Jääkäri M (Jääkäri Backpack) is an improved version of the original Lightweight Border Patrol backpack designed for the Finnish Border Guard. The design incorporates genuine user feedback, and the best ideas have been crafted into the Jääkäri M. Its numerous details and extensive MOLLE webbing system for additional pouches make it a modular and versatile tool compared to traditional daypacks.
Thanks to its slim profile, the backpack is unobtrusive even in tight spaces. The design and ergonomics of the carrying system prioritize mobility, making Jääkäri M stable and comfortable for its size. It’s easy to move with the pack, even when using poles, cycling, or shooting. The size of the Jääkäri M also makes it suitable as carry-on luggage on airplanes.
The backpack’s main compartment (52 x 25 x 17 cm) is designed to be narrow yet spacious enough for all essentials needed on a day trip. The underside of the flap features a large valuables pocket with a zipper (approximately 25 x 25 cm).
Inside the main compartment, there is a pocket (about 23 x 37 cm) for a hydration bladder or separate gear. This pocket can also accommodate a 13-inch laptop or tablet. An elastic band at the pocket’s opening keeps contents secure.
Hidden under the flap on both sides are protected openings for hydration bladder hoses, which can also be adapted for cables or antennas as needed. The four compression straps on the backpack’s sides allow the main compartment to be tightened, even when partially loaded. At the bottom of the sides, elasticated open pockets can hold water bottles or small items. The bottom of these pockets includes metal drainage rings.
The PALS/MOLLE attachment system, used by militaries worldwide, ensures modularity and durability. With MOLLE, any compatible pouch can be attached almost anywhere on the backpack. In addition to its modularity, the MOLLE webbing also reinforces and strengthens the pack. A single MOLLE loop on the Jääkäri M can withstand over 100 kg of pull. The flap’s attachment straps run the full length of the pack and allow gear to be secured to the bottom via four guiding loops.
The ergonomics of carrying are enhanced by anatomically shaped, sturdy shoulder straps and a low-profile yet supportive hip belt. The hip belt features 25mm ladder buckles on both sides for centralized tightening and finger loops for quick adjustment with an inward pull.
Large, firm padding cushions on the back improve comfort and are rare in backpacks of this size. The lumbar pad is removable if needed, and the hip belt can be folded under the lumbar pad for compact storage. A carry handle at the top of the backpack is large enough to be used with gloves.
