Fjallraven's Newest Backpack - Fjallraven Keb 52L - First Look

[@federico02072]

Osprey is also a great backpack BUT I have to say fjallraven is an AWESOME company. We have abisco 3 tent and it's a tank, so I have to say they are a fantastic company

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

This pack looks awesome. I like the idea of wooden stays, durable, sustainable and of course you could make a replacement on the move. Better than aluminium. Looking forward to your full review.

[@sgtcrabfat]

It also wont get you stopped so often going through airport security like aluminium stays do, I have the Bugout system which has metal stays that I now remove before packing for the plane.

[@circedge]

Wood, sustainable? Yeah ok.

[@dinnuwicaksono]

Hi Luke, nice review Here in Indonesia Keb 52 cost me $393 from authorized retailer, that shocked me when you say you pay only $275. I use it about 2 time for trekking and really impresed with how stable it is, I mean the narrower design work perfect. Also the bergshell is superb.

[@MutsFire]

They pay "no" taxes in the states ;)

[@nr379]

bang kalo untuk iklim tropis indo backsystemnya bikin gerah ga kira2? pengen bungkus juga ahaha

[@dinnuwicaksono]

@@nr379 sejauh yg saya rasa sih ngga terlalu gerah karna di bagian tengah ada cukup jarak buat sirkulasi tapi emang lumayan nyeplak keringet, yg saya perhatiin fokus produknya lebih ke general technical carrier. Paling kalo yg mau fokus sirkulasi udara seri friluft (abisko friluft 45 atau friluft lappland 45).

[@jeffreydonaldson7003]

I'm sure it is a nice pack.. But I like my Osprey 70 l Aether Ag after using it. I like the way it carrie well is very comfortable. It can be synched down and up. If people don't load a pack right. It won't be right. I seen you do the Osprey Atmos, but not the Aether or the Deauter you had once.

[@jduarte1506]

Good video, excellent bag, I am between this and the Mystery Ranch Terraframe of 50 liters, the Vaude and the Deuter, I don't know which would be the best quality and the most balanced

[@larsstenseth2351]

Just got the Fjellreven rucksack no21 medium 20L in the house, and damn, you simply can’t beat the quality. Am 45 and I believe it’s gonna last out my lifetime 😁 150$ on sale. Still pricey, but worth every penny👍 Cheers from Norway 🍻

[@sawdust6968]

campsaver has fjallraven packs on sale right now, got this pack on sale for 192.00 the 72 for 209.00 bucks, pretty dang good.

[@helly8800]

Hi there Luke. The pack might be expensive i the states, but here in Europe it's even more expensive. It's like 300 to 400 USD... But it looks great... Thanks for sharing...

[@epicscoreCS2]

Only thing this version has as a down side vs the 60-75L back packs they make is that the 52L keb dose not have a mesh to dry your cloth/tent, can be a deal breaker why im considering the 75L even when i dont need more space.

[@martinaugustocarvallocrosa4616]

Can I use this backpack for airline travel as a carry on?

[@fredir3596]

I like the idea of the wood stays but I’m not sure it’s an improvement over aluminum. I have a pack with aluminum stays. The stays can be adjusted to contour to your body.

[@johnc1975]

Hi Luke, excellent review as always. Speaking of Swedish stuff, just wondering if you could review the Morakniv Garberg. I have a collection of smaller knives I use for backpacking but I am thinking about getting a bushcraft type knife.

[@TeamMaroonAdventures]

I was introduced to them from your videos, back when you bought your first pair of pant that had to be hemmed. Love them ever since. I would like to add that I agree 100% on the US website. Keep the good videos and your opinions coming. Hope the family is doing well brother..✌️

[@butterkeks1706]

Hey is it possible to mount something beneath the pack?

[@stevelucier8346]

One size fits all! I would need the spine measurement range and hip measurement. Always interested in narrow packs that can pack a load enough for several days. However finding for 4' 8" through 5'2" is lol really difficult.

[@Wildernessoutside]

you can't go wrong with Fjallraven backpacks they make common sense hardwearing equipment ,I own a couple abisko 75 and Nabisco frulit 45 and they are both great packs ,I may have to look at buying this one aswell Luke

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

I've never purchased any Fjallraven due to their pricing but this pack could be a winner for me as $275 would be a good price point. Safe journeys.

[@huntermarshall]

Thanks for the update! Can't wait for the review. I'm needing a decent pack.

[@spider5001]

Really cool! It is a lot like my osprey kestrel 48. I love it. The osprey is about 100 bucks cheaper though with more external options. Can you do a comparison review? They are very similar.

[@lodevanierssel]

Put in 20 pounds or more and you'll feel the 100 bucks difference. Not only comfort or ventilation wise, but the ease of use, simple, clean, fast & efficient. It's really a resemblance of scandinavian "thinking'.

[@StaedtlerFox]

I have little problem to adjusting the straps on this bag... Can't find the right place to make it feel same comfort as Abisko Friluft 45..

[@Caddowolf]

I don't have $275 in my pack and everything in it! It's full of good stuff too!

[@greenwolf2299]

Good review, however for the price u'd expext some better features. Osprey packs have a fully u-zip opening on the front, thats so easy for un packing. Also when you remove their toplid you get a rainflap to cover to hood up, super nice as well.

[@Grvldad]

How would you compare this bag to Savotta Jääkäri L backpack?

[@stevenbp101]

Appreciate all the good information, looks like a great pack. God bless. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

A competing backpack called the Lundhags Gneik 54L is a bit cheaper. Don't know if it's in the North American market though.

[@flowjoe100]

Excellent review, I really enjoyed it and found it extremely informative. Keep em coming!!!

[@incysif1202]

It would be great. If you could make a review of the singi 48. Thanks.

[@TheTrailDancer]

Fjallraven is the best or one of the top 3 outdoor companies in existence! :) You should try the newly improved Keb Hiking Pants, incredible!

[@MG-ze3lf]

Fjallraven is a bad habit for me. Stuff is awesome but expensive. Lol. I love my Kaipak 38L.

[@circedge]

Expensive is fine, when it's worth the money. More often than not, it isn't with Fjällräven. For that kind of money I expect second to none QC, which is there with something like Savotta.

[@Fedaykin8]

The only experience I have with Fjallraven so far are their pants, and of course as everyone knows they are amazing. Best hiking/outdoor pants I've owned. Last pair I got were Keb Gaiters, and I also have a pair of Barents Pro. Love them both. I can only imagine that their other products are of similar quality, and I've heard as much.

[@goswo]

Paul Hurtado well, I truly believe there is a new sherif in town, when it comes to trousers. I have tons (almost) of Fjallraven gear, and I love it, thiught I would never ever change for another brand - well I did. Same quality, if not better, way better design and fit, and aprox half price of Fjallraven, the name is Revolution Race. Check ot out, and I am not connected to this company in any way, but me and most of my friende has changed to that brand, top notchnquality

[@scherry2900]

It's nearly the kaipak 58. Just with an adjustable carrying system. My kaipak fits me well. Nice for bushcraft, traveling as a backpacker and so on. The only "problem" i have with fjällräven is the weight. Fast long distance hikes and mountaineering is not what fjällräven is focus on.

[@markc9131]

It's for fat Vikings

[@scherry2900]

@@markc9131 🤣 massiv vikings

[@djschultz1502]

I can't bring myself to pay that for a 52l and at almost 5 pounds not worth it to me,but it looks very durable as to be expected with their great line of products.

[@indycharlie]

Sure doesn't look like 52L to me . After getting spoiled with my GG 60L Crown Vic ll last yr , I can't imagine a summer pack again at the 5lb mark . Looks like a nice , sturdy pack though .

[@Jasper0o0]

Can’t wait for the review. I may actually buy this pack.

[@HenriqueMerisalo]

I'm glad livin in sweden:) Thanks for great videos👌👌👌

How does this compare to GREGORY and OSPREY?

[@johngergen1215]

Nice pack, nice video. What would you recommend for a good camping shower? Thanks.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

I'm a fan of filling up either a container or my hydration bladder and doing a 'dump' bath; it's cold but exhilarating on those hot summer days. - Luke

Been 8 months. How's it holding up? Any updates?

[@markcarr9249]

Interested to hear if the wooden frame warps when soaked. Thanks Luke.

[@jamesgraham828]

Great intro into this pack. Looking forward to full review!

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

That looks like an awesome pack but sadly for me out of my price range. I have been looking at a Mardingtop 50L pack for around $80. Have you or could you possibly do a review on this pack? Your opinion speaks volumes on a product to me.

[@btrswt35]

Excellent overview. One suggestion, include some measurements. That would be useful so it doesn't have to look it up somewhere else.

[@The_Crow_Flies]

Hey are you using a new filter on your camera? The video looks different to me. I like it if so. If not i wonder why it was looking different to me lol. The bag looks really nice. I hope it holds up to the testing but considering it is Fjallraven I am sure it will lol.

[@mixmediaproductions]

aluminum frame lighter weight? I like it, but it's $. brand . Classy.

[@terryweaver9770]

I absolutely love Fjallraven. I think I wish I could bathe in it, lol!

[@hawkeytown]

I dont get the constant hate on hip belt pockets. I had an ospery aether.... they were fine. I have an osprey xenith and a sierra designs flex capacitor (my current go to) and the hit belt pockets on both are absolutely fine. They hold more than enough stuff that you would want to have on your hips and I have no issues working the zippers on either with one hand. What the heck are people expecting or trying to do? are you not getting the right size hip belt so you have to crank down the belt and bend the pockets too much? I just dont understand.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

It has been common for backpacking companies to incorporate small waist belt pockets with their backpacks; so common in fact that there are numerous companies which have capitalized on this fact by releasing larger pockets which will fit over those (smart idea). That is why I meant it as anyone who has been around the backpacking scene long enough knows what I'm talking about. Hope that helps you understand why I point this out. - Luke

[@hawkeytown]

@@TheOutdoorGearReview Thanks for the reply Luke. I totally understand what your saying and why you commented on it in your vid, and I know all about the small pockets. My thought was just that any more on any decent sized pack all the pockets are just fine, I think the trend has gotten away from the small pockets, yet I still see people complain about it and even some of the ones I listed as having "small" pockets. I was simply saying, it seems like some people want to pack half their crap in the hip belt pockets for some reason. Keep up the awesome reviews and adventures =D

[@ericm8322]

Sweet, gonna put that on my list for sure!!

[@tjellis1479]

What?....No Light Saber holder, come on. Will it hold up to a 12ga shotgun?

[@arocosadventures724]

Hej, nice review! In the process of buying a new pack. Although Swede I only have Arc’teryx & Osprey. Beside my Kånken as a child my experiance with Fjällräven packs is limited. My Ax is comfy and Oy is light, what makes the Fjällräven ”unique” according to you? Tack så mycket!

[@Mosaic_Crone]

You're right, their American website is useless. I do prefer their gear to American made products. European companies really put more thought into the functionality & durability & I feel a lot of that has to do with the Freedom to Roam Act. Europeans have so nany more opportunities to respectfully explore their countries than Americans do & their gear reflects that & you're the only review channel we trust for honesty.

[@barrchan5358]

Some guy compared it with the Lundhags Gneik?

[@rudyo8409]

Does fjallraven make pants for bigger guy's ? Trying to justify a pair for my self. Please send the European link. Thank's Rudy

[@coreykolenosky5974]

Kuiu Has 85 liter packs in 6lb range, carbon fiber frame, rated to 160 lbs.

[@sebulban]

Its narrow because the sides are meant to have loads like skis or rope and you still need room to move your elbows. This one is meant for the mountains 😊

yeah some Swedish top quality right there :D

Is fjallraven the Apple of rucksacks, Overpriced ?

No, I Made a 8 days trek in Iceland, my kajka didnt flinch on volcanic rocks. M'y wife choose an Osprey which is destroyed. Full of small holes. Yes its heavy and expensive, but its so reliable.

Boyo 13 right thanks

[@christof705]

I like their stuff, but their apparel isn't made for big dudes. Not sure if it's a European sizing thing, but their 2XL stuff is way too short in the torso and limbs for me, where Arcteryx is a near-perfect fit. It's a shame though, I'd love to rock some of their stuff.

[@MutsFire]

It might be, they suck at sizing.. //fjällräven fan in Sweden

[@LichtlopersMuziek]

1:37 "laptop"? Hey, when you're out and about do you really need even more 'entertainment'? Besides: a laptop -- even a tablet -- is relatively heavy, so when stuck into that front pocket it might just pull a person backwards, the back pocket being so distatnt from the walker's spine (i.e. his/her area of gravity). If I were to use this front pocket I'd fill it with clothes (scarf, gloves, poncho; leav the pack's rain cover at home).

[@MutsFire]

Fjällräven is Swedish and their Swedish site is worthless aswell :D They have sizing errors and no one knows how diffrent modells... took me 3 weeks to return and get a new pair, full price and their fault why I had to return it

[@RealFooking]

Decent backpack, considering the price it actually is rather bad even.

[@halibut1249]

Well... Let's put it this way. There are plenty of packs out there that hit that 2 lb sweet spot. So why carry the extra 2-1/2 to 3 lbs?? At that weight I'd rather go old school and hike with the Kelty external frame. Weight is a big factor. There's alot of competition from lightweight and ultralight packs. If you're only car-camping, or doing moderate hikes of limited distances/durations, then this might work. You're going to have to order it, too, to test it out. Doesn't sound like it's available in stores.

[@VandrefalkTV]

Fjällraven is pronounced "Fjellreven", where the E's in "Fjäll" and "rav" are the same sound as the ell/E in "well". So, Fjellreven. It just sounds so weird to me as a Scandinavian with "fjallraven" :p Great pack though, and video. :)

[@MrElias2043]

If you like this Scandinavian design: check out Lundhags. I Like their stuff even more.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]
