Top material, top workmanship, simple and robust concept.
A good investment as a supplement to the Jäger XL. I attached the side pouches to the Jäger XL at the maximum possible height in order to still be able to access the side pockets (water bottle holder with elastic band) of the Jäger XL. It just ends. Bottles or other larger objects then no longer fit in the side pocket of the XL, since the pouches are already in the way. This means that the pouch ends exactly where the side pocket of the Jäger XL begins. If you attach the pouch a little lower, you can no longer get to the side pocket of the Jäger XL. In combination with the smaller Jäger L and M, I can't say anything, but I suspect that it will be too tight here. So keep this in mind before you buy!
Like all Savotta products (and most of the competition as well), the side pouches are not rainproof after hours of continuous rain, as a few drops on the sides of the zippers get lost inside. There is a drain hole on the bottom for this. But I'm talking about hours of continuous rain with very strong gusts of wind. So if you are out and about in such conditions, you have completely different worries than the few droplets inside. Under normal weather conditions, I consider the Savotta products to be rainproof.
The price is a bit high, but I assume that the part will outlive me.
The shipping to Germany worked wonderfully, even if Varuste needs well over 1 week for each order from me, even though the products are in stock. That's a bit annoying. In the ordering system there is a different "packer" every day who is said to be packing your order right now. And that then changes daily until after a week it was supposedly sent with a tracking ID. With the tracking ID, it then takes another two days for the shipping company to announce that they have taken delivery of the goods. So just plan some time when ordering from Varuste or spend more money and order directly in Germany for a few euros more.

Great sized pouch, I could fit my tent in it and have extras on top like my pack's raincover. Yet to fully explore the packing options, but it was a great addition. Downside is that they're weighty, but this happens when the materials are durable.

Freezing size for better or for worse. The manufacturer seems to recommend this XL on the side of the wheel, but you can also tune the Jääkäri L on the side and with these you get significantly more capacity. I do have to give a small word of warning, these are not pure pluses on the side of that ring. The bottom fastening of the pockets is attached to the lowest mollkuja, which is part of the openable bottom of the chest. With this, the bottom can no longer be opened so well that e.g. a Trangia 25 could fit through the opening. The pockets also come so low that it clearly limits the range of motion of the hands when walking.
