I had an enlightening exchange with the Savotta social media team.

Hi everyone, especially those who are currently torn between the Kantamus 40 and the Kahakka 25.

Yesterday, I took my Kantamus out on a ridiculously short family hike. It was loaded with roughly 7 to 8 kg, which means it was only half full—if even that. Despite the pack being mostly empty space, the carry was incredibly comfortable.

By utilizing the compression straps, I managed to cinch it down into a really tight, compact package that didn't shift around at all.

To be completely honest, everything I brought would have easily fit into the Kahakka. However, I simply didn't want to miss out on the excellent comfort and load distribution that the Kantamus hip belt provides.

That being said, the Kahakka definitely still has its place and is highly justified in the lineup, but the scalability of the Kantamus makes it surprisingly versatile for smaller trips too.
