The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "Arctic fox") is today a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing, and other outdoor equipment. The result of the brand's long-term development is also the revamped Keb series, including this advanced trekking backpack.
The Keb backpacks, including the 52-liter one, may appear modest and minimalist at first glance (as is typical for Scandinavian design), but don't be fooled by the first impression. These advanced trekking backpacks are literally packed with smart features.
Keb backpacks are equipped with an iconic wooden frame, which is the only one of its kind in the world. Thanks to this frame, These backpacks can carry even extremely heavy loads with maximum minimized strain on the wearer's back. The comfortable and robust carrying system also has an adjustable back length for even better wearer fit.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can actually harm health due to chemical treatments. This is not a concern with Fjällräven Keb 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, regardless of size, are genuinely sustainable. For instance, the polyester and polyamide Bergshell used are recycled. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through long lifespan," which should be a standard for quality products regardless of the specific item.
Last but not least, we must also mention the seemingly small features that this backpack is equipped with and that will please. These include attachment points for skis, ice axes, or trekking poles, but also loops for attaching a sled. The low-profile design of the backpack facilitates movement, and the compartments and pockets are truly well-thought-out. For example, the front pocket has space for reinforcement layers or a small shovel.
