Pros :
After countless months and dozens and dozens of trips out, I’m ready to share with you all my thoughts on the Keb pack.
Top notch quality
Excellent burly materials which will last
Torso length can be adjusted
Fit & Wear Comfort : is absolutely excellent and in fact, this is without a doubt one of the most comfortable packs that I have ever used no matter how much weight I have put in it. Even with loadouts up to 35lbs the pack continued to be comfortable and manageable.
Excellent weight distribution.
It sits where it needs to sit on your body, is adjustable where it needs to be and has excellent padding on the shoulders and waist belt.
Dual access; size and top is excellent.
Excellent side pockets for bottles and additional gear; nicely designed so you can use them when you need them or get them out of the way when you don’t. Stretchy is a plus.
Excellent compression straps
Sleeping bag zipper at the bottom
Good amount of pockets for organizing and quick access items.
G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco S material, made from recycled polyester and organic cotton (can be made water-resistant with Greenland Wax for more extreme weather conditions).
Keb has a very slim profile and doesn’t fall far from your back. It’s a good shape that leads to stability when hiking even on slick or steep terrain.
The bottom and sides are made from the completely new waterproof Bergshell fabric, made from recycled nylon. Then there is the external frame of (FSC certified) birch. According to Fjällräven, CO2 emissions during the production of the backpack are reduced by 90%.
Cons :
Back of pack offer padding but isn’t the most breathable of packs. Not the best, not the worst as far as ventilation goes. With that being said, you will sweat with enough effort with any pack on.
Hop pockets are not very good in my opinion. Big enough to hold small items but unfortunately can’t be opened one handed. To open and close, it takes two hands; one to hold the pocket and one to pull the zipper
As you fill the main compartment the front pocket becomes tighter and tighter;
This is a slender pack which can make accessing your gear from the top…luckily you have the side access!
Summary :
comfort, durability and robustness
Truly one of the best packs that I have used in years and is worth every penny in my opinion. I purchased this with my own money, I don’t care if you buy one as that isn’t of any significance to me.
Consider : 52L may not be enough space for everyone; consider what you carry and whether or not you need a larger pack. If you are in doubt, there is the 72L version to consider.
