You've convinced me. The pack of all packs! I'm going to get one. Thanks.
Hi mate, you won't regret it - enjoy 👍
So is me.... Hihi. But thanks
As promised. Thank you. Best review of this pack by a mile. Top work. Many thanks again. Andrew.
Thanks Andrew, not a problem doing the review mate - hope it was helpful. ATB, Chris
Best singi 48 review… thanks a lot! 😊
No worries!
Thank you so much for reviewing this bag without it packed to the gills. I like to know how sturdy a pack is even when it's not very full. If it has to be full to be sturdy, that means a pack isn't quite as comfortable when you're carrying less bulk in it.
It's a great pack. Heavy, but built like a tank.
Possibly the best review of gear I have ever seen on u.tube.,I was going to start camping again this spring.( after 60 years)'it's all on stop now.llike your style..max PMA.
Thanks Max, appreciate that 👍 hope you manage to get back out when this is all sorted. Chris
I’ve got the singi 28 and couldn’t agree with you more....bombproof!
It's a great pack isn't it 👍
@@MCMOutdoors been trying to get hold of a couple of pockets for it but no luck...free up a bit of space...great day pack when I’m not going too far...
Top made detailed Overview
Thanks for watching mate
I have the Kajka 65 witch is a little bit bigger but very similar.
I like it it’s very comfy!
Great pack
at a great pack, pity I have enough packs. I would really think of this pack if I needed one. I'm a new subscriber. I've seen your videos pop up all the time lately and watched 1 and subbed straight away as they are good quality. Stay safe from north Queensland Australia.
Thanks Michael - sub is appreciated - top man. The pack is great - very well made. ATB 👍
Impressive amount of gear in your loft Chris, in fact there’s probably more than in my local Cotswold shop. Looking forward to these informative videos. My request would be re your outdoor watches, have seen several over the years on your wrist. Cheers 👍🍺
Thanks Mike, the loft is ridiculous isn’t it. Hope you’re keeping well and I’ll bear in mind doing a watch review - itching to get back on the hills. ATB
Really informative video, thank you. Please don’t sacrifice too much of you precious time describing all that gear, when you should be out there using it. Happy trekking and thanks for your time. Have just ordered mine and going to sell the Stuben.
Cheers, all the best Simon 👍
Stunning backpack this isn’t it. Like you something as to look good as well doesn’t it. I’ll have to treat myself to some of this kit when we get back to normality.
Keep them coming mate. Off to watch the Mountain Hardware Tent review now 👍
It's a decent bit of kit mate! 👍
Just bought this pack. Good review thanks
Good choice 👍
Just as an FYI for tall people. Im 6'2 and always struggle to find a pack to fit. If you do not clip in the back adjuster on the the Singi 48, it gives an extra 1/2 - 1" of room to play with, and find that it fits me well, well just. Especially with a bit more weight in the pack. (obviously as its on max max setting, there is no movement on the back) home this helps!
That is a top tip! It only just about is long enough for me at 6ft tall - so that's brilliant. I've pushed the clip up as far as it goes, then jammed it under a bit and it's just about okay. I find it more noticeable with lighter loads. Cheers for that tip.
I've looked at the 28 - can't justify buying it at the moment, but maybe one day. It looks a a lovely bit of gear for day hikes.
Hi Hinstin,
I'm 190 cm (6′ 2.8), and my back length is 53 or 54 cm. According to Fjallraven maximum back length for this pack is 54cm. Would you pass on this backpack if you were in my place, as I m on the maximum end?
Thank you for the review. Keep save. ATB Raymond
Thanks Ray - take care 👍
Beautifully detailed item reviews on here. I am sure I have OCD so this is what I want!
Can you do me a favour please and do a video on how to tie the guy ropes up after use in that nifty way you do it.
Cheers
Thanks for watching - simply take the guy lines, double them up, then tie like a shoe lace 👍
It’s a good pack however at 2100 grams it’s reduces your carrying capacity using the 20% rule so like most folk we are mostly looking at reducing basic kit weights; I’m 80 kg so look to carry nothing heavier than 15kg on longer multi day walks: good reviews and thank you for taking the time to produce like your channel keep up the good work
No problem. It's certainly not a light pack - but I must say, it's built to last and I love it. ATB
Very impressive review old mate. This is certainly a well constructed pack really well stitched. It's pretty obvious that a lot of labour and quality control has gone into making it. Not having seen this pack in the flesh but just by what you've shown in this review I'd say one would be getting what one pays for. There's been a lot of practical thought put into its design. The only extra item that I would ask for would be for the brain to be detachable and allow it to be clipped onto the front shoulder straps like the Fjallraven 85Lt pack then it would in a class of its own and no worries about substantiating its cost. Doing that it'd be a real world beater.👍👍👌💯
Great pack. I love mine but I have too many packs. I will have this out in a future video very soon 👍
@@MCMOutdoors how does this compare to your Osprey packs, Osprey many say are over rated but im not that experienced with gear but appreciate quality and sustainability on Fjallraven seems in a class of its own in that dept. Comfort whilst carrying maybe 14/15kg ?
how have i missed this review?! cheers MCM
No worries
finally i found an english review!
one question: do you think it would be possible, probably with some creative use of shock cordage, to fashion some "harness" (apologise if it's not the right word, english is not my primary language :)) at the bottom of the pack using the "bottomest" daisy chain loops, to hold maybe a sleeping mat or something?
speaking of shock cords, do you think Fjallraven sells spares? i just can't find it on their website, and being a newbie i don't where's the best place to look for them :)
whew... i was debating between this and the Lappland Friluft 45, leaning more towards the latter, but after your review... i have no idea anymore!
Hi, you could definitely adapt the supplied shock cord to hold a sleep mat. You could also just secure it with the main straps to the pack (ie between them). I don’t think Fjallraven sell spare shock cord, but it’s all the same - so eBay or a surplus store should have a similar colour. It’s a very good pack - which should last a lifetime if looked after. Hope that helps 👍
nice backpack buddy 👌
Thanks for watching
Your my gear hero.
Superb bag this - built like a tank!
Really good review on the backpack. I’ve got one too. It’s so comfy to use and versatile just like you said. It’s worth the money you pay for it. I just want to ad one more thing for you. If you’re 190cm (6.2”) it’s gonna be to small for you. I’m 186cm (6.1”) and it’s on the edge of what I can adjust the back shoulder padding. The length of the adjustment isn’t enough for taller persons. Take care and be safe during these crazy times mate. Tommy
Hi mate, thanks - I also totally agree. I'm going to do a "six months in" review and I'll be mentioning the back length.
I'm just six ft but agree that the back length is at the max to accommodate me. Which is a shame as its a lovely pack.
I used it with a very light load and noticed it more.
Thanks for watching
@@MCMOutdoors Great Review! I just had a look and I'm just on 6ft also. Was it too small for you? Or it worked on the max setting?
It's just long enough on the max setting mate 👍
If you’re over 190cm doesn’t mean it wouldn’t fit I don’t think. Everyone is different. I’m 193cm but the measurement from the top of my iliac crest to my neck bone (C7) is within the min and max height for adjustment. A Small size osprey pack is what I use. My legs are what make me tall and for others it might be their upper body that makes them tall.
Brilliant vid Chris. Just showed owa lass your loft haha that’s some camping gear you’ve got. it’s like Aladdins cave up there. I would be in my element with all that lot. I’m pleased your still making all your vids I look forward to watching them 👍. What trousers are those your wearing are they the vidda pro or kebs. I wouldn’t mind seeing a review on them mate 😃
Alright mate, the loft is 20 odd years of gear collection 😂 I'll try and keep the videos coming, just to stop myself going mad!
Trousers are Vidda Pro - no problem re the review request! Give me a week or so 👍
MCM Outdoor Show haha nice one mate thanks
Great video! If you had to choose between this and the Keb 52, which one would you pick?
Tough question, I do like this one but it's not without its faults!
Bit late to the party on this one, but excellent review though mate. Been looking for a wild camping pack and reckon you’ve sold this to me. Fjallraven have a great old school feel about them but using modern materials. I reckon each of them side pouches could hold 2 bottles of wine? If so I’ll need 2 of them. All the best Chris, take it easy mate
Alright mate, no worries. I think you could just about squeeze two in! I think I'll need a third 😂👍 thanks for watching pal
Thank you for a very good presentation and review of this pack.
Im surprised that they did not put a separator in between the main compartment and the sleepingbag compartment.
Yes, a strange ommision, but a good pack - nevertheless.
@@MCMOutdoors After roughly two years, would you recommend it?
It's very heavy - but rock solid. I generally use an Osprey Aether 70AG for most of my camps - but this one is a tank of a pack - back length is just about long enough for me too at 6ft.
@@MCMOutdoors Thank you!
Excellent video mate, I think you just sold another one for Fjallraven lol. Keep active mind and body. Thanks
Thanks for watching - enjoy the pack mate 👍
Great vid Chris. I wish I had space like that for all my gear. If I need a piece of kit I’ve got to look in about 20 different places. Including checking the kids rooms in case they’ve pinched something for a game. Here’s a question for everyone. Am I the only person who puts their tent in the bottom part of the pack? I know more often than not it’s referred to as the sleeping bag compartment but I’ve always thought sticking your tent in there makes more sense.
Hi Robert - good shout re the tent in the base suggestion! I normally keep mine in the bag it comes with, ie it wouldn't fit - but I've seen a few people stuff the tent into a dry bag and store the poles separately - so the base of the pack is an ideal area to put this! I wonder would stuffing the tent into a dry sack damage any fabric costings?
Using a dry bag is exactly what I do. It has crossed my mind that it might damage the fabric but I’ve never had any issues.
I'll give it a try then - thanks for the tip 👍
Great rev. Any experience like backpacking with the singi48?
I've done a few wild camps in it now on various videos on the channel - it is heavy, but I don't mind for the sheer quality.
Definitely need to get me one of these bad boys 👍 Just a shame that the olive colour rucksack seems to be out of stock literally everywhere! Don't know whether to just go with the grey or wait for olive
Hopefully they will be back in stock soon mate - might be worth contacting Fjallraven to ask.....
@@MCMOutdoors Funny you should say that! I contacted them last night and they said should be 4-5 weeks before olive is back in stock in the UK 😔 Will have to hold out for a bit longer unfortunately
Hi thanks for your great review ! I can't find the information but do you know where are these backpacks made ? Thanks and take care
Hi Vincent, thank for watching - sorry, I have no idea where Fjallraven produce their packs 😑
@@MCMOutdoors Apparently most of their product are made in Asia, like Korea, Vietnam, China.. when it's made in sweden it is said on their website :)
any problem with shoulder straps rubbing against hipbelt just beside the pockets ??whatever i do cant stop that happend
I don't have any issues in that regard sorry mate
I appreciate the great review!
Have you flown with it? We’re you able to use it as a carry on?
Never flown with it mate, reckon may be too big for carry on in the 48L version
Thanks for the video👍 Is the hip belt removeable?
No problem. The hip belt cannot be removed on the pack.
Hi thinking of buying the Singi 48, ideally with the side pockets in dark olive but can't find them in stock anywhere... Do you have any idea where might stock them? I enjoy all your videos btw mate keep it up :)
Hi Matt, try on Addnature..... Seem to be available there. Great choice of pack mate.
heavylightstore.com/p92875/fjällräven-singi-48
Great prices and easy to deal with
Hi. Are you still using the Singi? I'm developing after market products for the 48, 28 and Stubben and wondered if you're interested in reviewing them?
I am indeed....... our email details are in the "about" section - get in touch with your ideas :-)
Hi, I have a question about back length. I'm 1m82cm and currently using a Karrimor SF Sabre 45. due to the back length being fixed, i notice the Karrimor hip belt is above my hip and not on my hip (so all the weight is on my spine and not divided over spine and hip). Is the Fjallraven singi 48 "taller" in maximum adjusted back length? how tall are you, and does the hipbelt fit as it should? Thanks!!
Hi, all I can say is I'm 6ft tall - 182cm and this JUST about fits my back...... You get a bit more if you unclip the buckle in the back system
For full load, will the zipper at the bottom give way, as there are retention straps for the bottom opening.
It's never given way on me in many years.
@@MCMOutdoors Thank you.
I don’t see you using this anymore Chris was it not big enough ? I have the Singi 28ltr which I love but want a bigger Fjallraven Bergen but thinking this may not be big enough ?
Still use it, plenty big enough with the side pockets. I just have a fair amount it stuff, so don't get through it all in the videos.
Hello! could you please tell me how high is it? I am looking for a backpack which I could take as a carry-on (55 cm long max). Do you think it is compressible to this height? Thank you so much!
The specs you need are on the Fjällraven website. I'd go size down for carry on 👍
🙏
Enjoy
I saw some comments concern about weight. If that’s the case look into the Kaipak 28 and 48
I don't mind the weight, all good as built like a tank.
@@MCMOutdoors just yesterday I walked into the NYC flagship store on Green Street. I saw the 28 Singi, it was kinda small, definitely a day hike pack. Also got my hands on the Singi Stubben 25 liters. I really like the idea of a chair. I just don’t think I can fit all my gear in the 25 liters. As I’m typing this, I am remember the additional side pockets. Maybe it could work.
Nice vid Chris, do you still use it much.
I've got a fair amount of packs so I rotate their use 👍
Cheers Chris 👍
Do you still use it.
I do indeed 👍
If you are going stir crazy, why not try an overnighter in your garden! Ok, you may think ,,I,m not ten years old again!,, , but it seemed to work the other day with ENGLISH WOODSMAN. I would suggest you choose a particularly bad night rather than a good one, so as to hone your skills a little.
Hi Gordon, I’ll be back garden camping very soon. Stay tuned. Hope you’re well mate 👍
Fill it up an go for a run.. That will get you out.. Tc Andy
Haha - that would do the job. ATB mate
@@MCMOutdoors hi chirs. Looking forward to seeing the video mate. Keep it up mate.
That is a pretty sexy backpack
Nice bit of kit 👍
@@MCMOutdoors Great review - Im very tempted. Do the 3 pockets come with the bag?
Sadly not mate - an added expense. They're called 'Singi Side Pocket' and they also make a 'Singi Gear Holder' which is a drawstring pouch.
They're very well made though and worth it IMHO
@@MCMOutdoors nice one cheers - found them
The first thing a scouser doing math...wonders will never cease...sorry couldn't resist - calm down calm down.., great review and christ your set for an apocalypse...now why don't they just use the standard heavy duty none of this cheap eco crap - i have to kaipaks 28/38 litres cant recall if they were regular heavy or eco but must be 4-5 years old at least now and have held up great.
Haha, thanks for watching mate - packs for life they are. ATB
Sorry Chris, Im gonna have to stop watching your channel !!!!!!
Every time I see you review Fjallraven stuff, I end up going out and buying it :)
Got the Anorak No 8 now, the Singi 48, Vidda pro trousers and various shirts and jumpers. Lovely gear but not healthy for my bank balance. ha ha.
keep em coming, see you out and about sometime maybe.
ATB
Daz in Manchester.
Haha! Top gear mate which will pay for itself! Enjoy it pal!
