I have just got mine this morning via Amazon UK. 6 days from a German supplier and delivered to myself in Durban South Africa! Awesome service! The backpack can be used as a daypack without it looking like you running away from home! The side straps can be pulled in to keep the pack slim. With three ways to access your gear, it makes it very flexible to use. For day hikes, I roll up bubble wrap and put it halfway on the inside to create a divider and help keep the shape of the pack. On the bottom side, I keep a gas stove and other food related items. On the top side, I keep a rain jacket and additional clothing. Very well built backpack that is flexible in its design! Take the time to adjust the back system correctly. The pack works best just off the top of your bum. Highly recommended!

Hej Ted! I discovered your channel a few months ago. Based on your video, I bought myself a Keb 52, which arrived today. My goodness. What have they done. This pack looks and feels amazing. The build quality really is insane. They've made the pack to rule them all. I'll probably sell my Kajka now... I can't wait to take my Keb outside. I love your channel, thanks for your reviews Ted, you seem to be a really great chap and I hope we can meet on the trail someday! All the best to you and safe travels always.

I’ve been watching all your vids for the past couple weeks and I have to tell you : you’re work is excellent. Great topics, great ambiance great everything. (Sorry for the mistakes I’m french)

Just got my Keb 52 after long thoughts since i already owned Kajka 55.....it simply irresistible after watching your review Ted.

Hi Ted, thank you for this great review. I ended up getting the pack not too long after I first watched your review. I’ve used the pack several times for day trips and pulling a sled last winter. It fit my bushcrafting gear perfectly. In two weeks I’ll go do my first backcountry overnighter with that backpack and I’m really looking forward to it. Take care!

Hi Ted I just bought the Fjällräven Kaipak 38 and I think I need the Keb 52 as well. You always need stuff from Fjällräven. Many thanks for another great review 😁

Great Review (as Always)! Would love to get your take on the 72 L version and maybe compare it to the Kajka 75 :)

Great video and review. It appears you are pretty excited to be outdoors and using the new pack and solid features. Have a good day.

Hey Ted which bag do you like more between the Keb 52 and the Singi 48?

Just ordered my bag from naturkompaniet, thank you for the awesome review

I've got the same bag. Love it. Just one question regarding the tent. How would you pack it in the bag? Or how do you pack yours?

I have a Keb 52 and am very satisfied. I thought it would be too big for day trips but it is just to tighten and get it smaller. Thanks for the movie Ted.

Hi Ted, thanks for the great review. What is the keb 52 like for ventilation? Would it be a terrible pack to take to India in the heat?

Hi Ted. Great review. You just helped me to decide, and go for the Keb 72 over the Kajka 75. Hope I have done the “right” thing and not miss the opportunity to fully open the front (Kajka) :-)

Heya Ted, thinking of grabbing either this or the Keb 72. Wondering if you carry any of your camera gear on or in the pack when you go overnight? I usually carry a camera, two lenses and a tripod and I am finding my current 50L bag too small. I am wondering if your overnight gear is maybe just a lot more compact or smaller compared to my own? Thanks for the review video!

Thanks, this review helped me a lot

Awww I recently bought the Abisko 55 for the Classic Sweden, should have waited for this new Keb pack model.

Nice! Looking forward to receiving the 72l version to test soon! I wonder how water resistant it is (without the rain cover)

Hi Ted I like your review of the details of the pack. I just finished Fjallraven classic Sweden and I was lucky to have won the Keb 72 backpack at the prize drawing after the event. My question is about a couple of loops on the pack attached near the top of the wood frame supports and what they function is. Thanks for any information.

Hey man thank you for the wonderful review and shoutout!

New subscriber here! Really enjoy your reviews. I am looking at either the Keb 52L or the Kajka 65L. In your experience, what would be the major differences between these? Thanks!

just got mine today. Rock solid piece of kit

Awesome video Ted! Loved the name plug haha. So do you know when this pack will be released because it seems like it checks a lot of the boxes I need for my trip soon and if it’s coming relatively soon then this will be perfect

Hi Ted, having a tent across the top under the lid looks good but can you still get the rain cover on if the tent sticks out the sides a bit. Good video.

Hey Ted! :) Me again still with a question left ;) Hey, may I kindly ask you to sum up the advantages of the Keb against the Kajka again? The Keb misses a LOT of functions in comparison, e.g. the un-clippable lid which can be worn as a bum-bag, the dry compartment, the frontloader, the HUGE sidepockets (perfect balancing!). I´m having a hard time seeing the advantages of the Keb here. The only thing I´m wondering is how the Vinylon-F/600D performs against the Kebs G1000.

Honestly, I was reluctant to watch this review as I recently got a new pack and I didnt want to see I might have made the wrong choice. I got a Savotta Jääkäri L and used first on a 4-day "survival training"-hike in the north of France. It is heavy. It is also heavy duty, waterproof, bombproof and it has lots of attachment points. Totally differentt style of course, compared to the Fjallraven. But I like it a lot. It can be slimmed down too, by conpression straps and removable waist belt and removable top lid. I need to experiment with that some more. So, the review was very well done - like usual :-) But no, I don't think I made the wrong choice. Good to see you back! Take it as slow as you need to, we'll be patient! Thanks!

Hi Ted, If you were to do a hut-to-hut cross country ski tour, would this pack be up to the job? I am mulling between this and the Lundhags Gniek 54. The problem with the Gniek is the elastic material used in the side pockets, which I feel would tear and snag easily, or simply just loose it's stretch over time, as all elastic materials do . On the the other hand the Gniek has metal buckles as well metal fittings to attach a pulk to. Both packs apparently have compartments for a collapsable snow shovel. They really are very similar packs. The narrow profile of the Keb lends itself to skiing as one can move one's shoulders and arms more freely.

Great looking pack. Looking for an overnight/weekend bag. This is definitely on the shortlist.

Thanks Ted. Im currently running a Friluft which im really happy with. The Keb seems to have a much thicker waist band. Looking forward to winning that knife 🤣

Thanks, this review helped me a lot. Maybe I'll decide to buy this backpack.

Awesome video! Helped me decide to buy a Keb 52. I'm curious, I find the water bottle pockets on the Kajka 65 to be amazing but the pockets on the Keb 52 to be incredibly poor. They're so finicky with sizing and having to undo and redo the compression straps each time to secure a bottle. Has this been your experience as well? Just an odd miss on an otherwise nearly perfect pack.

Hi. Great review. I’m quite new to multi day trekking. And I wonder if 52L would be enough for 2-3 (max 4-5) days trekking? Or something like Fjallaven classic? Lots of people (and locals who prefer bigger sizes) recommend to take over 65L to take all items (tents, sleeping bags, lamps etc...) but I would like to take as simple as possible. So would 52L work? I prefer to take smaller ones if available. And also Q2. What’s the jacket you’re wearing? Seems like fjallaven hoodie but wasn’t able to find similar one on local website. It would be appreciated to have your opinions. :) And thanks for great review on the bag!

Geat review! I was really up for the Keb72, but the lack of a divider for the lower compartment is a dealbreaker for me... Also the padding seems like it ventilates less than almost any other backpack in this priceclass. Thoughts? I'm thinking I might order a Kajka 65 as a better alternative for me.

Ordered the Keb 72 :) Just curious which water bladder do you use in your pack? I couldn't make out the name. Any preferences or recommendations? 2L, 2.5, 3?

Good to see You again Ted and nice review as always! That size would fit my needs well. Also curios about the weight. Seems like It has the functions needed. Did you try to pack a tent? Would You carry a tent on top or inside?

Hey! 2 quick questions how well does the bag compress and have you traveled with it and is it allowed on airlines you have been on if so?

Hey Ted. I don't know if you have adressed this in earlier videos, but how often do you trek? I'm thinking about getting into it (Fjällräven Classic Sweden or Denmark), but Fjällräven is pretty expensive (because of the quality of course), so would you recomend going all in on equipment from Fjällräven or starting with something more afordable? Also hope you are enjoying your trip.

Hi Ted, I have a Kaipak 38 and is been a good used for months for now but than do I need to wax it sometimes even I'm not using?

Great Pack, Been Using Mine Now For The Second Time And I Love It - Never Been Disappointed In Any Fjallraven Gear Great Stuff 👍

my favorite design of water bottle pocket is the one that has bungee cord and cord lock that you can tighten or loosen instantly, my old school north face recon and my brother's old north face borealis have that design, but north face as well as pretty much every brand that used that design in the 90's moved away from it and i have no freaking idea why. the design in this pack isn't as good as the one i mentioned, but its still good that you can tighten the content of the pocket to secure it in place

Im in the market for a new pack as i only got a 40L and want to go on longer hike, i also hike with a dog so i bring some extra stuff for him. But im so torn between this and Kajka i really like the outer features on this one tho. I like attaching this on the outside aswell, like a chair, n smalls. Should probably go down to my local Fjellreven shop (norway here) and have a look at them. Btw, what jacket/shirt is it you have on here?, it looks nice. Keep up the good work.

Great review 👌. Fjallraven website states that the dimensions for the keb 52 are smaller than the kaipak 38, would you say that feels right?

Greetings Ted! I know it's not a new video, but the KEB line of backpacks were out of stock everywhere in EU, and finally they are back in some places. I'm thinking of the Keb 72.....what do you think about it in 2022? I read somewhere that they are outdated and there are many better options now on the market for the price. Thank you very much for your work, really enjoying your content !

Welcome back to my phone Ted. Where is the herring dispenser? That bag looks nice but I prefer the comfort and style of a well engineered purse when I roam the bush. I usually EDC my leather purse but for those wet days I opt for the reliability of rubber vinyl.

My wife and me bought Keb 72 and Keb 52 for the Fjällräven classic Sweden this time. :) Nice review Ted

Got my Keb 52 for this summer trekking in Spanish mountain and I loved it very confortable and practical ) and still discovering all its features ... Two feature I can't figure out are: - The purpose of the 2 loops on each corner of the lid, on each side, on the front side (the neck side) ? - How the 2 loops on each side of the main part : seem there some option to attach skis, or poles ? Many thanks !

Hey, do you think this bag would be big enough for a 4 days hiking trip including a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, some extra clothes and some food? :) Thanks for the Review!

Hey Ted. I happen to be a big fan of the Fjällräven Keb series, and this bag looks so good. I am deciding which one to get, the 52 or 72. My question to you, with only a 200 DKKR difference, would it be wise to take the 72 because the price difference is so small? I dont think i'm the person who will buy another and have to backpacks in in different sizes in the end, so if I only should have the one 😊

Nice review Ted. How the bergshell work so far? is it really high water resistant? Looks like the narrower shape than kajka give the keb 52 better stability and good load sharing. Honestly I much love keb 52 design than kajka, fjallraven did a lot of improvement with their newer backpack, it more aesthetics without losing touch of functionality.

Hi Ted. How is the ventilation and backpanel compared to the Kajka? I am still a little torn between the more simple and sleek Keb 72 and the Kajka 65. Thanks

I've been contemplating the Singi48 for a while now but as i do mainly day hikes, and a few weekend trips a year im concerned it's too big for daily use? Any info or knowledge that might help me decide?

Looking good in those tights! I have a big trip coming up in a month where I’ll be doing a lot of hiking in mine. Men (hiking) in Tights! The backpack looks nice but I’m already in trouble with my wife for the number of packs i have so I don’t think she’ll let me get another :(

Perfekt video, precis beställt Keb72. En fråga som inte berör väskan, vad är det för hoodie du har på dig? Jag behöver ett nytt mellanlager och letar efter inspiration. Eller har du några andra tips? Ha det fint

If I am bringing a TENT, what is the max size I should bring for this pack? Assume a 3 day 2 night hike trip.

Ted, thanks for that review, very helpful. What height are you? I really think the Key 52 is right for me - it has all the right features. But I'm 187cm tall and think the back may not be long enough for me...

Hi, is the bag 52 liters volume when extended, or when not extended? (Doesn't look 52 liters...) Thank you in advance!

Så bra review 🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

At last, I was thinking if everything is ok, because You didnt give any new movies. Great quality of this review and nice presentation. This is the best YT chanel about the trekking and gear in my opinion. So, is this better than Kajka or not?

What would be the maximum amount of time you would be able to go out with a pack like this? I understand it depends on how much clothes you bring and the climate, but say spring and autumn in south Sweden or mountain trip in the summer with a 3 season down sleeping bag and a 2p tunnel tent? I'm in doubt if 52l is sufficient, or if I should go one size up. Also, can you use the lid as a day pack or sling? Are there straps for that?

Great review. Could you give us the actual specs/verify the specs given on the fjällräven homepage? If the dimensions are correct, the Keb is nowhere near to be compared to the kajka or the abisko, for it would just be a smaller backpack (even the keb 72 would be a lot smaller than the abisko 65).

Hey Ted. Always lovin' your videos. Two questions: how much does the pack weigh, and how many kg are you carrying in this example? Looks pretty hefty to me. Myself, I'm a fan of light to ultra light - but I really like the fact that Fjällräven is simply going for utility, sturdiness, and being eco-friendly instead of gram counting. I happen to be the proud owner of the Trekking Tights and the Räven 20l pack :-) The tights I got thanks to your two videos...

How is the ventilation for your back on this pack? At 5lbs it's a bit heavy. This pack in all Bergshell shell, they say it is waterproof, would be interesting, especially if they could get the weight down closer to 3 lbs. Is the inside of this pack waterproof?

The keb hike 30 is the biggest one that I have but this is about right for a multi day trip. I think that the hike 30 would be what I would wear for a day adventure to the mountains but even that is too large for a leisurely walk in the park or as a mail carrying bag.

Looks great think I will get one

Also... is that a fjallraven sleeping bag tucked in there? Been searching for some reviews on their bags.

Hi Ted, I've been watching recently your videos, along with your FR Classic videos. I'm gonna buy one backpack for trekking purposes soon, hopefully preparing for the Classic as well, and I'd like to ask if you had to choose between Keb and Abisko (unfortunately now it's only 65 and 75) backpack which would you choose?

stellar. Well done

Du har ju även testat Singi 48, vilken av säckarna rekommenderar du med tanke på att man behöver bära med sig tripod? Förmodar att dom är rätt lika i övrigt? Keb är med Bergtagen material, vilket inte Singi 48, dvs bra i regn/snö? Kamera 600mm?

Hej! Vet du hur mycket vikt bärsystemet på den här och Keb 72 klarar av? Jag tänker på hur mycket vikt en kan bära bekvämt liksom, tack!

Love love

Which hydration system are you using?

How many Fahrenheits does it weigh? Looking for a new mid size pack, this might be it!

And what’s the fleece? :D

So Ted, how about Kajka?

*heavy breathing*....the moment when you realize, that you have already too much fjällräven backpacks and even though need the newest shit. The 52l capacity is realy interesting and i love the color you have chosen. As always, great review and nice video qualitiy! Thank you Ted!:)

Hi!! First thanks for the review. I have a question about the 52l capacity. Do you think that is enough to put inside also tent? I’m thinking to buy the MSR hubba hubba NX for two people. Do you think that is enough space? I’m a bit worried about that, because I want to make a 3-4 days trek.

Hi, are these 52 liters the total capacity of the backpack or just the main compartment?

can you take it out to fly?

Hey Ted, long time no see ;) I am glad you are back and I hope we're going to see more of you from now on. First off let me say that I like how you set the mood at the start with that music and some b-roll (and frogs :D ) just after your intro as well as towards the end of the video. I really liked the music that plays at 4:52. It goes very well with the shots. Also the video is informational and I do like it as a whole. This particular backpack's color is very nice, kind of stealthy. I own Kaipak 38 and I was thinking about purchasing a bigger pack as well. I am debating between a more technical pack like this one with higher weight and an ultralight packs which are quite popular these days. Now on to what I would improve (subjectively of course). The first thing requires an investment so I guess it might not be completely warranted at this point and it's completely up to you if you do it or not. When Abe is filming (i.e. 1:57 - 2:04 or 3:24 - 3:28) it seems the shot is quite shaky. My guess is it's because he's holding the camera in his hands. A camera stabilizer would solve this. Also I noticed in these hand-held shots that sometimes the camera goes out of focus for a second before readjusting. I admit I am not that experienced but wouldn't it be better to set the focus manually since you are being filmed from a set distance even though the camera is moving from one item to another when you are speaking about them? Keep it up with the videos, consistency is a key on YT, or so I've heard :P --- Michal

Possible to store a abisko dome 2 tent inside this bag with the other gear? If not, what bag chould i get? Vill inte ha tältet på utsidan ;)

Would you say you prefer the Kajka or the Keb backpack? Is there a big difference between the two?

Fjällräven ❤️❤️❤️

One thing that puzzles me is that the Keb 72L is smaller than my Abisko 65L

Great video! Im torn between the Kajka 75 and the Keb 72! Can you help? Is the Keb better? Which one rocks the most? What to do!

I gotta say … there is no pack nicer then the Kajka .. but quality/money wise the Osprey beats the living hell out of Fjällräven. I have a Osprey Aether AG 70L. Something Fjallraven must add is some buckles on the bottom side of the pack so you get tension of the zipper + can add a tent :)

Trevligt 🌲🇸🇪

Looks like an awesome pack. I think it will be my next pack. *Checks price online * No it wont.

What’s the name of the pants that you’re wearing?

Nice video 👍🤠❤

Hej Ted. Jeg overvejer meget hvilken taske jeg skal købe. Har brugt meget tid udendørs, men mere da jeg var barn med mine forældre og vil til at bruge mere tid på det igen. Jeg er i tvivl om kajka 65L eller 75L og nu også i tvivl om keb52 eller 72. Jeg har ikke råd til mere end en taske og vil gerne have en der kan det hele, samt at jeg forsøger at have så lidt grej som muligt. Håber du kan hjælpe og er skarp i dansk. Forsæt det gode arbejde!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

what color is this pack? :)

This or kajka 65 ??

👍

Why not use the beautiful sun instead of showing the bag in the shade?

Men har livestreamen vart??

Keb 52 or Singi 48...?

kapak 38 or keb 52 buy one！i buy keb52 希望我是对的

Love you Thailand

Everyone going to ignore the fact that the frog looked like it came out of Chernobyl?
