That backpack is the best I’ve used so far. The suspension system I simply superb and the way you adjust the waist belt is the best solution I’ve ever seen. It’s so easy to tighten thx to that nifty design that lets you to easily pull the strap… It’s just brilliant. That’s the best backpack I’ve ever used and I’m gonn stick to KEB as long as I can. It’s pricey but no other backpack is as comfortable as this one…

I have one of these. Its fantastic. Great for 3-season overnights/weekends, and I also use it as a winter mountaineering day pack. Absolute bomber quality and super comfortable. The sides are Fjallraven's newer "Bergshell" waterproof material which is way beefier than the G-1000HDEco. If it were any larger I'd want full front opening like the Kajka, but the side zipper is sufficient enough if you pack the gear you'll need access to on the side with the zip. 100% recommend this backpack.

I walked the west highland way with this backpack. I absolutely love it. Really rugged, good quality pack. It feels like a 30L backpack with a big front pocket. Pretty narrow but that's nice because it gives a lot of moveability. Everything fits in, but I wasn't carrying a tent. My girlfriend had the tent. I'm sure it's possible to also pack my tent In but Everything is really snug and not a lot of spare room. I use this bag for summer backpacking, winter day hiking when needing a bit extra gear. And my kajka 65 for winter backpacking.

Great solid rucksack .... ive got the keb 72 as well as the keb 52 ... the 72 obviously has more room for a wild camp ..... I can get all my gear in the 52 but there isn't much wriggle room ... I now use the 52 for a day pack in the mountains when I take and a few extras like a stove and an emergency shelter and extra cloths ... Great review as ever ...glad you didn't get washed away !

Keb 72 is great for trekking in nepal, 52 also ace, had to have both!!!!!

It's Fjallraven so I love it.

Really well structured review that!

7:45-8:10 discussing the lid pocket (with the rain'coat' inside): we see a 'gap' between the lid and the main compartment; the 'snowlock' becomes visible, its color is lighter. This is consequence of the choice of the lid being removable. This option certainly is quite popular in today's backpackdesign, but is it really always the best option? A fixed lid is obviously more rigid and has a lighter construction. This remove-option also makes the lid interfere with the (buckles of) loadlifters at the shoulder'harnass'. [The (removable) lid on my Bach pack als tends to sway from left to right when walking in rough terrain.]

Great rucksack greeting from Indonesia

Great review! For the 52 liters what is the spread? Like how many liters are in the main compartment and how many are in the front pocket? Out of curiosity

Thank you for the review. I got mine today and I also found the hip belt too stiff. How long does it take to loosen up?

Great rucksack, looks very useful. What a pity that there is no 38 L or 42 L version. Different question: what water bottle do you use there? It looks very good and I search for a new one. :)

Great pack. Good review, but please, if you are reviewing a backpack, get it sorted that the"front" has the straps and moves forward as you do. The "back" has the big pocket.

Nice backpack but i prefer my Osprey stratos 50 🙂🙂 Nice review as always!!

Thanks for that helpful review. A couple of questions - I'm 6'1" and need to be sure the back length on this pack is long enough. Can anyone comment help there? (I would like to try the pack out myself, but there seem to be no outdoor shops AT ALL in the UK who stock this one). Second - this pack at 2.75kg seems on the heavy side by today's standards. And the pack looks too narrow to fit a tent (pack size width about 40cm). Apart from that, this pack seems to have all the right features for me. Thanks.

Ugh.. I was really excited about the backpack, but I am scared for the wood frame. I often check in my backpack, or put it in a larger duffle bag when travelling. I know frame is somewhat flexible, but I really don't want to arrive to the destination with broken frame.

does anyone find this pack overly heavy? are there replacements available for a frame?

not sure about a bottom entry

Hi, can we bring this bag to airplane cabin? Thanjs

Looks like a very narrow pack. Bit concerned about getting a winter sleeping bag in the bottom

I brought my keb 72 to the classic. I have to say, the birchwood is very strong. I had 40lb loadout because of bear canisters. The only thing i have against it is the breathability. Compared to my osprey it just soaks a lot of heat and sweat. As soon as you get above tree line that obviously stops being an issue. It makes sense why they make Abisko packs for breathability. Im a keb fan true and true so i run my stuff on the keb family.

What is this? 9:20
