At that price, the backpack should have a chest strap and a better hip belt. I myself put the Fjällräven chest strap and the Savotta 1200 back belt with a lot more padding in the backpack. Now the backpack is even better to carry. Even when you would like to sew PALS loops, this backpack would start to touch perfection, at least if you think about military use!
On the border of North Karelia when I'm a guerrilla, I can say that the LJK backpack is definitely the best backpack ever. Even heavy loads go reasonably lightly forward, taking much less on the shoulders than the new Sacci backpacks now available and the rest of what we have had in the test. I recommend!
Based on my experience, I would not spend such a sum of money on that backpack when I get two Deuter runners for the same price (there is no personal experience of Deuter). A service friend who enjoyed hiking said that yes, you can find a backpack with better carrying properties on the home side than the inti LJK (with an old cooler model). It may also be that the guy hasn't yet had to carry as heavy loads as LJK usually carries in India. To the 1/06 comment I would like to add that no backpack will keep anything dry unless the equipment is packed in a garbage bag (necessary). From the main pocket, everyone has to dig from above, which usually means spreading the equipment on the ground to get access to the changing clothes at the bottom. The side zippers on either side of the large lower pocket break. For example, Vekaranjärvi's equipment warehouse does not have to replace the backpack intact, because too many have broken the zipper. The lower pocket holds combat food, which sometimes needs to be packed for three days, when the zippers are hard (note! This is combat food with a lot of extra). The daypack that comes with the backpack is especially handy for small walking trips. A man can safely drag the ground long by pulling the loops of the backpack. The fabric lasts, but again the deceptive zippers (I broke the big pocket of the daypack in normal use). I can’t mention the carrying features terribly, because I haven’t made the effort to adjust the length of the back of the backpack to suit myself, leaving the hip belt at the wrong height as well. In some individuals, the shoulder blades tend to loosen and when the back is crouched, the middle tube in the body feels through the back directly against the spine. The backpack has good mooring opportunities outside. The arc saw and ax go with you effortlessly. You can even leave the daypack hanging on the frame and it does not interfere with hiking (snack and drink at your fingertips). Under the top flap fastening straps, there is room for a small amount of chopped firewood. A guerrilla tent or fireplace can be easily moved with a backpack as long as the durability is sufficient. Below you will find a pocket for the camping stove (in addition, 0.5l of alcohol and a raincoat can fit in the pocket). I don’t know that any other manufacturer’s backpack would have a similar opportunity to prepare food by sitting on top of the backpack throughout the delivery. A particularly nice feature, especially after a long transition: water and food within reach and at the same time can rest your feet.
In fact, during the year, two pieces were broken due to overweight, but on the other hand, you do not need to carry the same weight as in a special situation. The attachment points of the backpack part failed both times. An excellent backpack can carry 20-30 kilos of black, but in serious cases it can withstand 50-60 kilos. Belt tensioners slip at times, with a small correction hold.
