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.

The coolest hand in the land
I have the 72 liter version of this pack. I love it! Perfect for Summer, Winter, Bushcraft or ski touring. One feature I was hoping you would mention is the tiny loops behind each pocket on the waistbelt. They are specifically there for winter camping so you can snowshoe or ski tour and drag a sled behind you by clipping a caribiner from the sled on each side that way you do not have to wear an extra belt. They have literally thought of every need when designing these packs. Totally worth carrying an extra couple pounds for that in my opinion. Thanks for the excellent review of an amazing pack!
You honestly give the best in depth reviews, keep it up! Definitely would love to see more Fjallraven gear too
Thanks for using your own money to review these products and I appreciate you take your time to thoroughly test and review. Thank goodness for your channel to keep us sain as we in the UK keep ourselves confined to home. Stay safe and well
Love Fjallraven. Pricey but top notch. I really like the narrow profile: really helps weight distro. They should ship the Greenland wax with all their products! Thanks Luke for another great review
I got this pack about a year ago, used it a lot regularly carrying over 35lbs in technical harsh terrain and it still looks brand new. The comfort is unreal, no matter how much weight you need to carry you’ll find yourself forgetting that you have something on your back.
I love your review man, simple and honest. I looking forward to buy it.👍
That almost sounds like a perfect pack minus the weight and non-waterproof. I'd still rock it if I could afford it. Amazing review as always! Hope you're all staying safe!
Top review 👍 The backpacks from fjällräven are very good and I love fjällräven for their quality, but when it comes to backpacks I prefer Savotta, the quality is so absolute outstanding...
I just was looking for my first backpack, i watched ton of reviews from around 70l size. I went to buy Osprey aether 70, or Kajka 75, didnt really even considered others. I saw keb there and tested it with others several times, it just felt amazing. Couldnt really find reviews from 72l keb i was bit suprised. Now i can say i did bought narrow backpack which hugs my back and is comfy. I recommend it!
I have just got mine this morning via Amazon UK. 6 days from a German supplier and delivered to myself in Durban South Africa! Awesome service!
I had to come back to this episode so you guys know I scored a black version of the keb 52 off eBay for $160 after taxes and shipping amazing deal awesome bag thank you for the review!
One of the best outdoor RUclips channels. 👏👏👏👏👏😬
Great review. I love Fjallraven. I have a Kaipak 38....and love it for day hikes. Hoping to use it for summer overnighter, too.
That’s the next pack on my order list! Great review as always
Another excellent review. Thanks Luke
Excellent review as always. Fjallraven makes outstanding gear/clothing.
I finally bit the bullet because of this review, it is extremely comfortable, true to the review that the backpack goes wherever your body goes, doesn't swing around when moving, draw side is the sweating where the back cushioning area that makes contact with your back really do sweat but it all comes down to your layering. A 10kg sack for training swallowed and carried it without sweat. Thanks for the review
Thanks Luke. Looks like a great pack and very comfortable. I would expect no less
Great review, Luke! Fjallraven ("Arctic Fox") products are sound investments due to their durability. I like that two-tone blue combination.
