Fjällräven® Kajka 35 trekking backpack

The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "Arctic fox") is now a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of the brand's long-term development is the innovative series of advanced trekking backpacks called Kajka. This word is defined by the Swedish dictionary, among other things, as "to move aimlessly on water." In short, even the journey can be the destination…

Humble in appearance, yet full of features

The Kajka backpacks, including the 35-liter version (which is also suitable for one-day treks), may look modest and minimalist (like the entire Scandinavian design), but don't be fooled by the first impression. These advanced trekking backpacks are literally packed with smart features (such as loops on the front for an ice axe or trekking poles).

Ergonomic design and practical pockets

The shoulder straps and supportive waist strap are ergonomic, making the backpack even more comfortable to carry. The backpack is equipped with practical pockets – if the space in these pockets is not sufficient, you can optionally add Kajka side pockets (sold separately), which are easily attached to the loops on the sides of the backpack. The main pocket includes an internal mesh pocket, and the top lid features three zippered pockets and can be removed and worn as a separate chest pocket.

Iconic wooden frame

The Kajka backpacks are equipped with an iconic wooden frame, the only one of its kind in the world. Thanks to this frame, the Kajka backpacks can carry even extremely heavy loads with maximally minimized burden on the wearer's back. The sustainability of the backpack in this regard is evidenced by the fact that the wood used comes from traceable sources.

Sustainable solution

Fjällräven backpacks are truly sustainable regardless of size. The polyamide used is, for example, recycled, as are the lining and reinforced parts of the backpack. The manufacturer talks about "sustainability through longevity." This should be standard for quality products regardless of the specific product. Compared to the previous generation, Kajka backpacks are easier to repair.

Legendary vinylon F

The main material used is vinylon F, which lasts a long time, is easy to care for, and, for example, the even more famous Kånken backpack would not be what it is without it. The material is flexible and durable, and the manufacturer says that although it was created by humans, it feels as if it came directly from nature.

Two strap variants

The Fjällräven Kajka backpack, in most offered sizes, can be purchased with two shoulder strap variants, namely S/M and M/L. The difference between the two is that the first has narrow straps providing more space for the chest. The S/M straps are also combined with a slightly shorter, adjustable waist belt. The shoulder straps of the M/L variant have slightly longer shoulder straps. These do not taper at the end and thus fit better on a wider torso.
