The last of the Mohicans, or at least the last of proper old-school framed canvas backpacks! Just like it was over 50 years ago the 323 from Savotta is still going strong, with a classic design and outstanding quality.
Discontinued item. Once the last ones are gone, they are gone.
Naturally, this is much more than just a showpiece of quality and workmanship, the 323 is just as great today as it was back in the 1950s. In the before times people didn't need a zillion little pockets and compartments for every little trinket imaginable, thus the 323 also has no such nonsense, it's simple: one large main compartment, two long side pouches, and one wide pouch on the lower back. On the upper sides are attachment points for straps, used to attach a blanket or other heavy stuff.
The carrying system is just as old-timey as the pack itself - simple adjustable leather shoulder straps and a horizontal strap that sits comfortably outstretched against your lower back.
The materials are classics: tough cotton canvas, super thick leather, and steel!
The backpack has a 5-year guarantee against material and workmanship defects.

Backpack videos
Savotta makes these short movies, which are delightful to watch and might send you off on an imaginary trip to the woods. This one is a bit melancholic, but luckily also very short!

The side pockets perfectly fit a Nalgene-sized bottle or other container. It is a snug fit though, and while my 40 oz Kleen Kanteen fits well, I could not fit any of its nesting cups.
This is an old-school pack. As excellent as it is, it lacks many of the comforts and conveniences of modern packs. If you want added shoulder padding, get the TST sling pads. They fit perfectly over the pack's leather straps. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-tst-sling-pad/57746 It's also pretty easy to hack a waist belt onto the pack using various other components available here on Varusteleka.
I would have given it five stars, but the middle pocket tends to gap open a bit when the straps are secured. This could put small items at risk of falling out if you're not careful.

Now, the bad thing is quality control, and that is why I had to deduct 1.5 stars. My bag arrived with a defect, namely one of the turn buckles sewn on upside down. It didn't warrant a return, since I am capable enough of doing the repair, but it did necessitate cutting the strap, fixing the buckle orientation, then time spent stitching everything back up.

Vesisadetta ei pidä mutta takin värjää, lumilukkoa ei ole kuten ei säilytystaskua arvotavaroillekaan.
Nahkremmit ja soljet on hankalia käyttää ainakin uutena ihan sisätiloissakin paljain käsin ja hyvässä valossa.
Nahkainen satula on kiinnitetty ja kiristetty narulla! ja koko homma on solmun varassa. Kiristys on jäänyt puolitiehen ja satula on valmiiksi löysällä.
Repun pussi ottaa selkään kiinni ja vievät mainostetun hengittävyyden. Kovat tavarat repussa painavat selkää.
Kävellessä reppu pomppii ja nitisee.
Toiseksihuonoin kokeilemani reppu, Savotta 339 oli huonompi. On oikeasti todella epämukava kantaa.

Negative review in Finnish is a whiny baby that didn't read the description of the pack and should invest their money in some nylon and plastic.
