The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "Arctic fox") is nowadays a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of years of brand development is the innovative line of advanced Kajka trekking backpacks. The Swedish explanatory dictionary defines this word, among other things, as "to drift aimlessly on water." In short, even the journey can be the destination...
Although Kajka backpacks, including the 75-liter one, seem modest and minimalist at first glance (like the whole Scandinavian design), do not be fooled by the first impression. These advanced trekking backpacks are literally packed with smart features.
Kajka backpacks are equipped with an iconic wooden frame made of birch, which is unique in the world. Thanks to this frame, Kajka backpacks can carry even extremely heavy loads with maximally minimized strain on the carrier's back. The sustainability of the backpack is reflected by the fact that the wood used comes from traceable sources.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm 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. For example, the polyamide used is recycled, as are the lining and reinforced parts of the backpack. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through longevity," which should be a standard for quality products regardless of the specific product. Compared to the previous generation, Kajka backpacks are easier to repair.
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 would not be what it is without it. The material is flexible and durable, and the manufacturer says that although it is man-made, it feels like it comes directly from nature.
The Fjällräven Kajka backpack in most of the offered sizes can be purchased with two shoulder strap variants, S/M and M/L. The difference between the two is that the former has narrower straps, providing more space for the chest. The S/M straps are also combined with a slightly shorter, adjustable hip belt. The shoulder straps of the M/L variant are a bit longer, do not taper at the end and fit better on a wider torso.
