Based on a couple of short day trips, the backpack looks really high quality. The shoulder straps and hip belt fit well. The top pocket works just for a small item / snack, but I would miss the outside pocket a bit, which would fit a drink bottle, for example.
Size M / L, my length is 176cm (back length is about S / M max and M / L min). Thus, the lower back support may seem a little too low at first. It remains to be seen on longer trips how well this size will finally fit me.

I ordered this pack, because I wanted some specific features, that my Kajka 65L and my Kaipak 28L does not have. That is for example the strip of fastening band down each side on the front, smaller size but still capable, straps that can fold neatly (all of them) and the double center iceaxe tip holder. Well, I chose an orange one for visibility and I must say it's screaming bright strong orange. Very visible and very nice too. Because of lockdown, I haven't been up in the mountains yet, but I am loading it up, small or big, and using it for many other trips. A small gripe is that the lower back cushion and the backplate in general, is too stiff and is a bit uncomfortable. Other than that it's very comfortable to carry wit or without load. Hipbelt works well. The pack is very sleek and does not catch tree branches, rocks etc. So far it's been totally rainproof. I have found the snap locks and the single snap for the detachable toplid easy an quick to use, also with one hand. There are some small pull flaps to aid opening and closure, which works well, and I think Fjällräven could benefit by adding these to the rest of their packs. Mine is M/L size and fits my long back. All in all, a very thought through midi pack that is made for climbing mountains and much more. I highly recommend Bergtagen 38 Liters. Kind regards, Jacques Keller

A valid "big daypack" or "little backpack". With modern compact equipment, this can accommodate even a few days' equipment, and the stability is sufficient for even heavier loads. However, removable parts such as a wooden frame, top flap and hip belt allow the same backpack to be significantly lightened.
