Features
At the first glance, the Hatka 12L may look like just a roll-top bag with shoulder straps, but there is actually a lot going on when you take a closer look. ”Hatka” is a peculiar Finnish word used solely in the phrase ”ottaa hatkat” which means ”to escape” or ”hastily take your leave”. The pack was created for a special military load-carrying system, as a small daypack that could easily be attached to a larger backpack. A quick-detachable escape-and-evade sort of survival pack, so you now know how this peculiar name makes perfect sense.
Inside, you’ll find one large compartment and two long compartments. The D-ring at the top offers a point for securing small valuables. The large external compartment against your back is big enough for a hydration reservoir or tarp.
Hatka is in many ways a spiritual successor of the venerable Savotta 202 daypack. It too features very rudimentary 25 mm webbing shoulder straps that are attached to D-rings. These can also be set as a single diagonal shoulder strap. This cuts down weight and bulk, which is great when carrying it strapped to a larger pack. If needed, you can easily replace these with more advanced padded options.
Use
Clip and strap Hatka on a larger pack to be used as a ”grab-and-go” daypack. This can be done by stuffing it under the lid or by using pack straps. However, the really awesome way is to attach Hatka to the side compression or lid straps by using G-hooks or PALS-mounted SR buckles.
On the outside, you have four PALS webbing rows. These can be used to attach pouches, bungee cords, and buckles for quickly attaching/detaching the Hatka to a larger backpack. The four webbing loops on the bottom can be used for elastic cords, allowing you to carry stuff beneath the pack.
Although there are not too many compartments here, you can still make great use of these when you pack them smartly. The main compartment is of course where you stuff your bigger things, the two small internal compartments can fit all sorts of small stuff and even water bottles. The D-ring can be used to clip on or tie small valuables securely in place. The external compartment against your back can be used to carry a closed cell foam pad as a frame sheet, or a tarp or a hydration bladder.

Selkäpuolen juomarakkotaskuun mahtuu myös Jääkäri S reppuun sopiva Savotan istuinalusta vahvikkeeksi ja selkää suojaamaan, on myös helppo kiskaista ulos taukoa varten.
Savotan sivuilta saa myös QASM tyylisiä muovisolkia jotka sopivat SR Classic solkiin, eli tämän saa niillä suoraan kiinni Jääkäri M, L ja XL sivukompressiohihnoihin. Perkeleen kätevä systeemi.
Ainoa miinus on mielestäni viilekkeet, mutta ne on helppo vaihtaa esim. Särmä TST pikkureppujen viilekkeisiin.

Ja pullojen leveys ei ole niin paljon että hirveästi söisi tilaa reppuosan tilavuudesta. Kyllä sinne tavaraa mahtuu vielä.
Viilekkeet vaihdoin Lekan myymiin leveämpiin TST-malliin.
Kaiken kaikkiaan mahtava pieni veden- ja muun tavaran kantaja päväretkiin.
