Streamlined, nearly minimalistic, camouflaged daypack with clamshell zipper. 20 liter capacity, three smaller zippered compartments and a number of external attachment points offer enough space and organization for most daily carry needs.
”Niukka” is Finnish for a “meager”, but not exclusively in a negative sense. Compared to our other packs in this size range the Niukka 20L is a streamlined, almost minimalistic design. Compact and clean, but fully functional and able to scale up with a number of external attachment options.
Besides the full clamshell opening main compartment the Niukka 20L has a large zippered exterior compartment, two smaller internal mesh pockets and a hydration bladder compartment. The option to attach extra gear to the bottom, front and compression straps, enable the pack to be scaled up with moderate external loads.
Details and features
Full clamshell zipper opening main compartment allows unrestricted access to every corner of the pack. The clamshell opening can be restricted by keeping the lower compression straps closed. 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.
Two smaller zippered mesh compartments inside the main compartment allow organization of smaller items, the top one has a D-ring for securing valuables.
The zippered compartment on the front of the pack is the full size of the front and ca 3 cm deep. Good for bigger stuff like a jacket or poncho.
All zippers have generous cord loops to silence them and enable easy use with thick gloves.
Two side compression straps with G-hooks on either side of the pack offer both compression and a means of quickly strapping on extra gear. You can also use these to add extra pouches/bags to the front of the pack. Webbing loops above the compression straps can be used to secure gear with cord, carabiners or packing straps.
PALS webbing on the bottom allows attachment of extra gear using elastic cord or packing straps. The webbing loops for the side compression strap G-hooks can used to add elastic cord to the front of the pack.
The back is padded and supported with a thick and stiff closed cell foam pad, placed in an external compartment with hook-and-loop. The pad can be removed and used as a sitting/kneeling pad, and the compartment can be used for flat packed gear such as tarps.
The padded, contoured shoulder straps attach to steel D-rings. The D-rings allow the shoulder straps to turn and conform to various body shapes. The shoulder straps can be removed and replaced if needed. The sternum strap is removable and can be moved up and down the shoulder straps as desired.
Modding tips
Although the Niukka 20L is quite a streamlined pack with not too much going on, there are still a number of options when it comes to customization by the user. Please note that these accessories are sold separately.
