Savotta Kahakka 25L. Daypack Champion.

A comparison to other day packs, sample load out, and discussion on versatility, durability, craftsmanship, and tradition

[@Virusalert7]

Hey man, awesome video and really enjoyed your „ramblings“. 😄 Got my Kahakka 25 for two days now and really enjoyed the format and perspective instead of just showing the features (Tim Keys is also what got me to buy this pack) but now after starting to use it it’s awesome to hear someone else’s use cases and perspective. Mine is mainly just for standard every day use as well and it really is versatile and modular. Was surprised how well it carried loaded up quite heavy on a bicycle ride today with the hip belt really securing it all. All the best from Germany!

So glad you found the video helpful and that you are enjoying your pack. It's one of those special items which become an 'instant classic' as soon as its released. These packs will accompany us on many adventures and help create many great memories. Thanks for watching and take care. Cheers!

Great video. Nice change from detail oriented ones. I’ve watched them all and like hearing your philosophy about the packs. Thanks.

[@DeepTheta]

Really appreciate that! Thank you very much for watching

Hey there. Nice Clip. It's made of 1000d cordura and small pieces of 500d (upper part of sideflaps and the back) and not as you mentioned from 500d+300d.

[@DeepTheta]

Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate your correction regarding the CORDURA density. I'm going to pin your comment so others are more certain to see it. I've tremendously improved my attention to detail over the years but there are still fragments of my old personality remaining which routinely missed these obvious and important details... I'm working on it! I've used other packs made of 300D, 500D and never felt compromised. I would still purchase this pack if it were made of 300D, and now knowing that it isn't, wish that it was! Cheers

Oh man I just stumbled on this video and I'm in agreement with all of your conclusions. I own the Jaakari S (3 years daily), and Kahakka 15 + 25. The Jaakari S is indeed a 'slinky' pack and not to be compared 1:1 imo. It sits in between the 15 and 25l size-wise and functions very differently. Also came to the same conclusion as you with the M and L. Swapped those out for [now] Kahakka daypack & summer/minimal overnight, and a 50l Fjallraven Keb for winter and mountain trips. The Kahakka is ridiculously versatile and moddable yet quite civilian friendly :D A lot of packs have so many features they can only do one thing. Thus far I've made two quick-change mods to run the Kahakka with a padded molle belt or an external frame. In this sense, it completely transforms into two new harness-based packs for heavier gear or comfort on longer treks. Bless Savotta, less is more! Comfy vid mate, subbed!

[@DeepTheta]

Thanks so much for your support and kind words. I’m still new to all this and it’s really motivating to receive your positive feedback. Have heard lots of good things about the Keb 50L. Wow, rigging up the Kahakka with a padded belt/external frame is an awesome idea and absolutely takes it to a whole new level. Just when I thought it couldn’t be any more versatile… Top stuff man. Thanks again. Cheers

Savotta backpack looks very beautiful special in black colour, very sweet 👍

[@DeepTheta]

Thanks for watching! Totally agree. Black is also more city-friendly. Even green gives off too much of a combat vibe for me… Cheers

[@WoodyAndy]

Great vid - nice to see what camping kit you can get into it and your choice is great! Subbed, looking forward to more! atb Andy

[@DeepTheta]

Thanks mate! See you in the next one. Cheers

Thank you for watching! See you next time

I will take the 1000d everytime. a lot of bags with 500d are the same price... Savotta makes to endure, thats why i trust them. I used tasmanian tiger and warrior assault systems. Both are great brands and have great stuff but Savotta is a level up ;) i have the 15L. So happy with it.

[@DeepTheta]

Fair play! Nothing wrong with 1000D of course. How are you using the 15L? I'm curious about it

[@Raventommm]

@@DeepTheta im using it as my edc/ghb... Actually i dont have a correct name for it. I use it everyday for everything i use it for, hiking, working, trips, its always with me. Ecuiped with first aid to multitool to water and so on and on...

[@DeepTheta]

@@Raventommm I think you just brilliantly evolved EDC to EDE: Every Day Everything. I like it!

[@Raventommm]

@@DeepTheta thats a good one!

[@jeh966]

Keep up the good content 👍🏻

[@DeepTheta]

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@davef5916]

1000D is overkill even for military tbh. 500D is absolutely chonky. Ive had the jaakari S and L and I agree with your conclusions. The Kahakka fixed everything wrong with the Jaakari S imo. I'm hoping to turn it into a concise overnight pack with the askare as a hip pack.

[@DeepTheta]

Bang on, that's it! Truthfully I've been using the askare as as purse around town and it's the right size for my books and bobs. Haven't paired it with the Kahakka yet but there's no doubt they will harmonize. Cheers
