I am somewhat an enthusiast of the Savotta brand, I own nearly their entire range, and recently I have started collecting their older models as well. This backpack works perfectly with their 4L side pockets and, like every Savotta product, stands out with excellent quality. The only thing I miss is the backpack being sold with the frame included – I had to buy it separately; I believe that at this capacity, the frame is absolutely essential and I can't imagine using the backpack without it. I can't wait to use this model for summer camping trips, and so far it works great as a bag for carrying airsoft gear.
Savotta Jaakari M Backpack 30 l - M05 Finnish Woodland Camo
Backpack with a capacity of 30 litres in M05 Finnish Woodland Camo, designed for everyday use, demanding field applications, and as a module of larger equipment. Thanks to its slim construction, profiled shoulder straps, and padded hip belt, it is ideal for longer marches with a heavier load.
Main compartment closed with a flap, mesh pockets
The main compartment is closed at the top with a drawstring collar. The flap features a zippered pocket in which documents, keys, or a phone can be carried. On the side of the backpack, there is a zipper that provides quick access to the interior without opening the flap. On the sides are 2 mesh pockets.
Velcro panel, hydration system compartment
The front of the flap features a velcro panel allowing attachment of any patch or national flag emblem, unit insignia, or so-called Morale Patches. The internal back wall is equipped with a compartment for a hydration bladder. Two ports on the sides allow routing of the tube from the left or right side, and also threading cables or antenna.
MOLLE/PALS straps, compression straps
MOLLE/PALS system on the sides, flap, and hip belt allows for the attachment of additional pouches and accessories. Four lower loops permit lashing a sleeping bag, tent, or other gear. Side compression straps allow adjustment of the backpack's volume to the load or fastening of extra gear outside.
Durable 1000D Cordura
The backpack is made from 1000D Cordura with high resistance to abrasion and tearing, with an internal polyurethane coating. The straps and trims made from strong polyester meet military standards.
Padded shoulder straps, hip belt
Padded S-shaped shoulder straps with detachable chest strap and soft hip belt with additional lumbar support ensure comfort under heavy loads. The belt is easily adjustable thanks to the forward tightening system and is equipped with a quick-release buckle.
stiffening insert, option to add a frame
Inside the compartment near the back is a removable stiffening insert made of plastic, providing even weight distribution and eliminating point pressure on the back. This is an original back stiffening system developed by Savotta, allowing in the Jääkäri M model the replacement of the factory-added insert with a compatible aluminium frame (available for purchase separately).

M05 Camo
The M05 camouflage (Finnish M05 Maastokuvio) is a family of pixelated camouflage patterns introduced into the Finnish Defence Forces in 2005 as a successor to the M91 pattern. It was developed based on digital analysis of photographs of Finnish forests taken in different seasons by the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The M05 family includes several variants, such as woodland, snow, and cold weather.
The main woodland version of M05 consists of patches in light green, dark green, brown, and dark graphite, effectively replicating the structure of Finnish forests. Due to similar vegetation and terrain conditions, the M05 Woodland camouflage also performs well in the forests of Central and Eastern Europe, providing effective concealment in natural surroundings.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.

Great quality of workmanship. This is probably the most durable backpack I've ever had. The only downside is the lack of additional pockets and the material is quite stiff. I've been using it for years and it still looks like new.

An excellent product. It's the top choice when it comes to this type of backpack. The workmanship is of the highest standard, as are the materials used. The design is well thought out and fully practical, with no unnecessary embellishments. In summary, if there is any flaw, it would be the high price, but it is fully justified.
