Savotta 906

— Show original

A high-quality and reliable rucksack that lasted flawlessly even on longer hikes. You should be careful with the settings of the ring, that it is done well, the instructions are good at Savota. The shoulder pads could be better padded and shaped, i.e. the shoulder parts are quite narrow at the back of the neck, causing a bit of numbness. Thanks to the tubular frame, air can circulate well in the back area. The fabric is very waterproof. Water gets in through the zippers, but in practice the rain cover used during heavy rain has not been a problem. A little more weight than in lighter frames, but is compensated by durability and reliability. I ended up with this bike after I was tired of sweating from my back and I also wanted really good durability.

Classic ring. Heavy by today's standards, but very good and practical in terms of other features. I think the volume is very well distributed. Sleeping bags can be in another compartment without unpacking all day, while cookers and food, clothes, etc. can be put in another compartment from where they can be easily taken out if necessary.

The legend still works. Versatile, sturdy and reliable.

There is no user experience yet, but it looks good. After mid-September I will know more. Based on my experience with the Jääkär backpack, I would think that it is really safe to use. Excellent quality! Now there is and I can say that Savotta quality is guaranteed!!!

Classic: functional, spacious and tidy. Tubing is the only right option for hiking. Made in Finland, which is a big plus!

This works and lasts. 19 trips to Lapland have been completed, and the only damage is the plastic plugs at the lower end of the main tubes falling off. Of course, the age of twenty years has faded the colors of the fabric.

Superior military type backpack that will serve you the rest of your life well. Strong fabric with dark green color, nothing like those modern days bright colors that just doesn't fit you into nature. After fixing the 906's adjustment correct fro my frame this is very pleasant to carry even with super heavy loads 30kg-40kg. Goes for winter use with piles of snow.

I would really like that flap to be longer

The bag can really fit a lot of stuff (too much?). You can also make adjustments in moderation. Both hikers were most bothered by the narrowness and thinness of the shoulder pad, as well as the "draining" of the actual strap past the pad. The strap should be in a channel where it cannot get outside the padding. Fixed it with a loose pad, but we think it's a design flaw. One minor drawback is also the high position of the zipper of the side pocket, so that, for example, you cannot get a water bottle out of the pocket with a bag on your back. Can be fixed by moving the zipper to the other side of the pocket. Sturdy and durable, but without an update.
