The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "Arctic Fox") is now a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of years of brand development is the updated line of advanced Kajka trekking backpacks. This word is defined by the Swedish explanatory dictionary, among other things, as "to drift aimlessly on water." In short, the journey can also be the destination...
The Kajka backpacks, including the 55-liter version, are humble and minimalist in appearance (like the entire Scandinavian design), but don't be fooled by the first impression. These advanced trekking backpacks are literally packed with smart features.
The Kajka backpacks are equipped with an iconic wooden frame made of birch, which is the only one of its kind in the world. Thanks to this frame, the Kajka backpacks can carry even extremely heavy loads with a maximally minimized burden on the wearer's back. The sustainability of the backpack in this regard is also evidenced by the fact that the wood used comes from traceable sources.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even be harmful to health due to their chemical treatments. This is not the case with Fjällräven Kajka backpacks, as they do not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
Fjällräven backpacks are truly sustainable regardless of size. The polyamide used is recycled, as well as the lining and reinforced parts of the backpack. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through longevity." This should be standard for high-quality products regardless of the specific product. The Kajka backpacks are easier to repair compared to the previous generation.
The main material used is Vinylon F, which lasts a long time, is easy to care for, and without it, the even more famous Kånken backpack would not be what it is. 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.
The Fjällräven Kajka backpack in each of the offered sizes can be purchased with two variants of shoulder straps, S/M and M/L. The difference between them is that the first has narrower straps providing more room for the chest. The S/M straps are also combined with a slightly shorter, adjustable waist belt. The M/L shoulder straps are slightly longer and do not narrow at the end, fitting better on a wider torso.
