I chose this backpack because I like the Savotta brand and I was looking for something suitable for day trips and walks with my dog. For this use, it works well. However, I gave it one star less because I'm not a fan of the flap – I don't understand why the solution from the 25L model wasn't used. The biggest downside is the lack of adjustment for the flap fastenings, which are fixed, making the packing capacity quite limited and you can't overload it as needed. On the positive side, I attached my Askare with g-hooks without any problems and everything works together very well.
Savotta Kahakka Backpack 15 l - Black
Military backpack offering a 15-liter capacity in black. Constructed from lightweight, highly durable 1000D and 500D Cordura. Designed for full compatibility with the MOLLE attachment system, featuring a broad flap design for fast and easy access to gear inside.
Durable construction from 1000D and 500D Cordura
The majority of the backpack's components are constructed from rugged, abrasion-resistant 1000D Cordura. Areas that are less exposed, such as the rear foam insert pocket and the sides of the flap, utilize a lighter 500D Cordura.
Spacious main compartment, flat front pocket
Designed with a large main compartment, the model allows for quick access via a wide flap secured by two buckles. Inside, there is a pocket dedicated to a hydration bladder with an outlet for the hose. The pack also includes two spacious side pockets ideal for carrying a water canteen or beverage bottle. A flat zippered pocket is situated on the front. The back panel houses a removable foam insert that enhances structure, which, when detached, can function as a seat or provide extra insulation outdoors.
PALS system straps, compression straps
A multitude of PALS system straps enables the backpack to be expanded with additional pouches or pockets. Compression straps offer the flexibility to adjust the pack’s capacity or secure extra equipment. Positioned on the flap, the velcro panel serves for mounting any patch or insignia.
Ergonomic shoulder straps, carrying handle
Ergonomically designed shoulder straps featuring adjustable buckles provide excellent customization of the pack to your body, delivering superior comfort and secure stability on hikes. An integrated chest strap with a buckle boosts wearing comfort and ensures balanced weight distribution. For added convenience, a sturdy carrying handle is attached at the top, allowing for easy lifting and transport of the backpack.

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.

The workmanship of the backpack inspires great confidence. Savotta uses the highest quality materials—1000D Cordura in critical areas ensures exceptional resistance to abrasion, while 500D Cordura in less exposed parts (e.g., sides of the flap) reduces weight without compromising durability.
