Overview
“Kantamus” is Finnish for “a carried load”, typically something a bit heavier that you carry along. The Kantamus is an all-around general-purpose backpack, suitable for various uses. The scalability and compression allow you to adapt and adjust the pack for changing situations and needs, whilst the internal aluminium frame offers rigid support and weight transfer.
With a main compartment of ca. 40 litres, plus 8 litres in the lid, the Kantamus 40L fits sleep systems, spare clothing, food and water for a couple of days. The numerous external attachment points for pouches and additional gear allow you to adapt it according to your needs.
Main pack body
The main compartment is accessible from the top via a roll top closure and through a vertical zipper on the right side. Inside is a hydration bladder compartment, with two tie-down loops and a hydration bladder attachment webbing tab on the top. Each side of the pack has one tube port.
The side zipper on the left side leads into a large, flat compartment on the front of the pack. Suitable for stuff like tarps and other flat packing gear.
The sides and front have generous PALS webbing for attaching extra pouches and gear. The bottom has two rows of PALS webbing for attaching gear using packing straps or elastic cord.
Two side compression straps with SR buckles on either side of the pack offer both compression and a means of carrying long, bulky tools and equipment or quickly attaching additional loads, such as a Hatka 12L daypack equipped with suitable buckles.
The slightly bellowed side pouches allow you to carry long tools and such on the sides. These are relatively flat and low, not intended to carry water bottles or such, for that we recommend adding a GP pouch to the hip belt.Floating lid
The lid has a large main compartment, capacity ca. 8 litres, accessible from a zipper on the neck side. When filled the lid “balloons” up, and when empty it lays flat and tight. Great for rainwear, puffy jackets etc. When tightened the lid compresses down, keeping the contents tight. The top of the lid has an elastic cord for retention of light gear. The underside of the lid has two rows of PALS webbing, suitable for attaching a sleeping pad or other gear.
