Purchased this pack because I am a Savotta fan boy and I needed something which I could use as a day pack while on long walks with my dog. For this purpose this pack is suitable. I have marked down a star because I am really not a fan of lid. I am not sure why they didn’t just copy the 25L version. The main issue is that it seems that the lid buckles are not adjustable and are fixed in place meaning that you are kind of limited to what you can fit into the pack and there is no overfilling if needed. On a positive note I was able to connect my Askare using the g-hooks and that fits really well.
Savotta Kahakka Backpack 15 l - Black
Black military backpack with a capacity of 15 litres. It is made of lightweight and durable 1000D and 500D Cordura. The model is compatible with the MOLLE attachment system, and its wide flap provides easy and quick access to stored items.
Solid construction from 1000D and 500D Cordura
Most elements of the backpack are made from abrasion-resistant 1000D Cordura, while less demanding parts, such as the back pocket for the foam insert and the sides of the flap, are created from lighter 500D Cordura.
Spacious main compartment, flat front pocket
The model features a spacious main compartment, which can be quickly accessed via a wide flap secured with two buckles. Inside, there is a pocket for a hydration insert with an opening for the tube. The backpack is also equipped with two large side pockets, ideal for carrying a canteen or bottle. On the front, there is a flat pocket closed with a zip. The back of the backpack is reinforced with a removable foam insert, which can serve as a seat or additional insulation in the field.
PALS webbing system, compression straps
Many PALS system webbings allow for the attachment of additional pockets or pouches to the backpack. Compression straps enable size adjustment of the backpack or the attachment of more gear. On the flap, there is a velcro panel where you can place a chosen patch or emblem.
Ergonomic straps, carrying handle
Adjustable ergonomic straps ensure excellent fit to the silhouette, enhancing comfort and stability during hikes. The chest strap, secured with a buckle, increases wearing comfort and evenly distributes the weight. At the top, there is a practical transport handle, facilitating lifting and carrying of the backpack.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is a system for attachment of tactical equipment, used for example in backpacks or tactical vests. It provides the possibility of flexible and modular placement of various accessories and pockets, which allows personalization and optimal adjustment of the item to the specific needs of the user. It is widely used by the military, special services and survival and outdoor enthusiasts.
PALS (Pouch Attachment Ladder System) is a modular mounting system for pockets and pouches, used in the MOLLE system. It consists of horizontally sewn rows of 1 inch (25.4 mm) wide, fixed spacing webbing (such as on a backpack) and vertical webbing for attachment and threading (on a pocket). This system is usually equipped with snaps, which further secures the pinned items.

The backpack is very well made, which gives a great sense of security. The Savotta brand uses high-quality materials – 1000D Cordura in areas most exposed to wear, which ensures exceptional abrasion resistance, while in less susceptible areas, such as the sides of the flap, 500D Cordura has been used, making the backpack lighter but still durable.
