Hello FjallRaven ! Got my Keb 52 for this summer trekking in Spanish mountain and I loved it : very confortable and practical ) and still discovering all its features ... Two features I can't figure out : - The purpose of the 2 loops on each corner of the lid, on each side, on the front side (the neck side) ? - How the 2 loops on each side of the main part : seem there some option to attach skis, or poles as there is 2 hooks on the strap in addition to the pull part ? Many thanks !
Hi ! Is it the biggest version of the Keb ? Why you didn't do it 100 waterproof ? What does it mean that only part of it waterproof ? If heavy rain catches me it will be wet inside or not ?
Hi Roy, Keb backpack is available in 72 and 52. Currently, Keb 72 is the largest but will pass your wish to our team. Meanwhile, if you wish to get a larger backpack, you may consider Kajka 100. Regarding to raining situation, we recommend to make use of the rain cover which is included for all trekking backpacks. Feel free to let us know if you have more questions about our backpacks!
Hi David, W stands for women. Several of our large backpack models come in men’s and women’s versions to take into consideration anatomical differences. Feel free to let us know if you have more questions about our backpacks!
The side straps are probably wide enough to hold an average tent right? I know you said it is designed for four seasons but do you think the ventilation is a bit over looked for the summer? I will be mostly using this for hot weather camping trips but with the all winter specific features I thought maybe this may not be the best tool for me. Thanks.
Hi Ege, as we don’t know how large or heavy of your packed tent, therefore it is hard for us to tell if the side straps of Keb trekking backpack are doing a good job in holding your tent along the journey. But in general, we do recommend packing your tent inside the backpack instead of strapping it by the side of the backpack. By doing so, it helps balancing the backpack’s weight and reducing stress on shoulders. And side straps are designed for easy access to handy tools or things that are frequently used during the journey, while tent is needed and pitched when we are going to rest. And seems you are planning a summer trip, Abisko Friluft would be a nice choice for outdoor life in hot and humid climates with its aluminum frames provides cross-flow ventilation, and the full front panel opening gives easy access to your belongings and gears.
@@fjallravenasiapacific8474 I pack the tent in the bag mostly but sometimes with extra stuff, packing it outside gives so much room in the bag. Not the best way to pack I know. Thanks for the reply:)
Hej Skoog, We have consulted our R&D team with this, Keb 72 should not be smaller, when we have measured the volume on both packs, we have got the volumes stated. If you are referring to the measurements on website (www.fjallravenasia.com/keb-72), those are approximate external measurements and not any measurements that are the basis for volume calculation. Let us know if you have more questions on Keb trekking backpack! Thanks!
I live in the UK and I'm finding it impossible to buy one of these packs. Even Fjällräven's own website says "out of stock" - and it's been like that for months. What is the problem, guys?
High world wide demand, and in regards to the UK, Brexit is part of the problem aswell. Sweden is part of the EU, and must follow EU regulations. Because of the now hard Brexit(not what was voted on), controlls at the border slows down the transport sector. Combine this with not enough homegrown drivers, and EU drivers going back to the EU, the UK have a deficit of 90.000+ lorry drivers, you may have noticed emty shelfes in the supermarkets lately. Fjällräven is not likely to invest more inorder to sell in the UK, because there is less to be made, and higher costs.
@@realitymatters8720 Actually, I haven't noticed any empty shelves in the supermarkets - at all. Is there someone from Fjallraven who can explain the supply situation?
@@realitymatters8720 Brexit has zero to do with the problem. 🙄😂 In fact there are zero real problems. Simply type in Fjallraven Keb 72 UK on a search engine and you'll see plenty of them for sale from UK shops and online dealers in stock. The main problem is that the Keb just doesn't sell as well the Kajka, therefore less are made to suit demand.
This looks an excellent pack, but I'm worried the back length may not be long enough for me. I am 6'2" (188cm) - can anyone tell me from experience if that is long enough? I want the hip belt to be around the hip bone, not the midriff.
@@FoxMocks Not late at all, thanks for replying. I'm still considering my options, but your response should mean the Keb 52 will be long enough for me.
@@SMSJSC Yep! It should be, however the shoulder straps width is also important! Hence I always recommend that you go to an actual fjalleaven store or matter of a fact any store that carries the bag to see if you can try it on! That's honestly the best way to see if it will be good fit for you!
@@FoxMocks I agree - but unfortunately there are very few shops that stock this rucksack. So the only thing I can do is to order one online and try it out at home. I think it should be fine.
wow... it is my dream backpack... sorry i write a unskilled english... but this backpack is perfect! i need this backpack , so i save a lot money thank Fjallraven!
Great pack, but lacks daisy chain webbing and/or attachment points for closed cell foam mats such as a Thermarest Z-lite or RidgeRest. If I were to change one thing about this pack that would be it. Metal buckles and attachment points for a pulk would be nice as well. Not only are metal fittings stronger, but easier to recycle as well, in spite of the carbon footprint involved in initial production. Still a great pack though. Good that it has a pocket for a snow shovel.
ny.on/plastic buckles are solid enough; haven't had breakage at all in my 55 y backpacking life. they're lighter as well and can be operater with only one hand.
@@fjallravenasiapacific8474 Thanks. Could you please send me any sheets (or URL) where I could check the differences between them? I haven't found them anywhere. Thank you!
@@zofialutoborska9808 In general, the specifications of both men & women backpack are the same. But the carrying system like men' back length maybe longer. We recommend you to visit one of our stores to try and feel it.
3:00 Just noticed "Keb 52W"; so this guy uses the Women's type of Keb? How (much) is it different from the 'men's' pack? Or maybe there isn't much difference at all...
Hi Dr. BlutFleck, we are not replacing Kajka with Keb. Each collection has its own features to fit different needs of users. Both Keb and Kajka carry classic Fjällräven spirit with wooden frames. If you are going above treeline, Keb is definitely your reliable trekking backpack with hardwearing G-1000 HD Eco S and waterproof Bergshell to deal with fast-changing weather at the mountain top. And Kajka has more choices on volume, from 65 - 100 L, you can pack for a weekend short trip or a week-long expedition. We are not sure about the future, but do you have anything want to share on Kajka or Keb trekking backpack? Please let us know!
@@fjallravenasiapacific8474 Thanks for the feedback! I am male and i have the Kajka 55W now for about a year and it is an awesome backpack. But i was never really happy with it because there are many details i don't like about it. Since last week i have a Keb 52 and after some testing and in direct comparison with the Kajka i have to say that it comes very close to my dream backpack. Although i would change some details on the Keb. For example i love the adjustable wide oft the shoulder straps on the Kajka (because i have a strong neck) but i think the majority doesn't need that. Also i would love to have two more little loops on the lid to attach your own shock cord like at the Kajka and some little loops on the bottom to attach for example a sleeping mat. I think these loops wouldn't add much complexity and weight to the pack.
At least one of the hip belt pockets should be a bit bigger to fit an average smartphone or gps device. All these improvements are from the perspective of an average hiker from Germany. Please keep making these awesome and reliable products.
Really nice video! I bought an Abisko 45 this week and I'm thinkin about to buy the Keb 72 for bigger needs. It's too sad, that Fjällräven is confirming gender clichés here. For the Abisko, I was lookin for a red rucksack, but there is only one for woman. The men's version is blue. Now I have a grey one. Same with trousers, I was'nt able to find somthing red somewhere in stock.
Hello
What is the maximum weight allowance of this backpack?
Thank you

Is the wood durable and can handle places with high humidity? I'd prefer aluminum to wood though.
how about the wood backsystem, the wood is strong?, and if the wood is broken, how i get that.. thanks
Why keb series's ( 52&72 ) backpack don't have redwood color for men backpack
Oh，plz let this adorable backpack comes to China！We reaaaally love it！
Is that 72 litre?
Just got one in Green and i'm in love. Can't wait to test it out.

52 women's version
Im puzzled that the keb 72 is smaller than the abisko 65. How is possible to fit 7 extra litres in a smaller bag?

i hate daisy chains, they throw a pack off balance when used to attach stuff to the outside of a pack

Have to say this really looks the business. 👍
