LIGHTWEIGHT BACKPACK Review | SEEK OUTSIDE UNAWEEP 4800 Hiking and Hunting Backpack

Very timely and objective review…as I was just looking for new backpack and now I know that this is not for me. So it was helpful :)

I'm certain I bought my last backpack 2 years ago when I purchased a ÜLA Ohm 2.0; it's everything I want/need in a backpack & it fits MEeee like it had been custom made just for lil ole MEeee (5' 3" & 105#).
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

Tack för en bra review. Vilken söt valp, vore kul att få följa hennes resa till en i teamet framför kälken 👍

Oh dear lord... I've been looking at that one before and now I villhöver it more than ever. Excellent review :)

Så kul att följa er, Matti!
Jag har en tuuung Tasmanian Tiger som jag haft i 10-12 år och letar verkligen efter en ny, med ram!!
Hälsa Jokkmokk!!

"These litres are small litres" 😆... brilliant!

Hi Matti,

This test came in perfect time. I am in the process of buying a new backpack, I have seen some reviews of this brand, maybe not exactly the same model. I also used the old external frame backpack, I had the Fjällräven Raven Gyro and I had a frametop extender, about 15 cm extra to put a tent or something. I agree that the hip belt at that time was not so good even though Fjällräven claimed that their gyro system was an improvement. It was but still not so good. I got a Berghaus Vulcan and the hipbelt was a bit better, The fabric was not that good in long term, it started to feel kind of rubberlike and almost a bit like breaking down. since 7-8 year I have a Norrönna Reccon 125 l, it weighs 4,4 kg empty ! but its really comfortable carrying heavy load with. I am getting older though (hard to avoid in the long run...) I am 60+ so I am looking for the Unaweep 4800 or maybe the 6300. Your review is as always really good and detailed

Har använ seekoutside i flera år nu och har egentligen inget att gnälla på. En ryggsäck för allt egentligen. 4500/800 är en perfekt storlek oxå! Som vanligt en bra review! Ha de bäst//Johan

Nice review. I have the 6300 version myself in the UltraPE400 fabric. Pack with talon, toplid, lumbar pad, hipbelt pockets, 2 inch extesion and loadshelf on the bottom it weighs 1,75kg. Very nice pack. I took a testwalk for 1,5 hour with 21kg load and it was really comfortable to carry. Had 24 kg on my last packraft trip but just walked short distances. Feels better to carry such weight in Unaweep compared to my Osprey Xenith 88. I have seam seal it but not been out in heavy rain yet on the packraft I got some drops of water in the talon as its way laying on the spraycover with water on it. Rest were dry inside. Thats before seam sealing. It takes some time to seam seal all but u dont do it often. Really recommend this pack even its expensive. Mostly waterproof, lightweight and really comfortable. Bought it to replace my Norrøna 125l, saves me 3 kilos on the pack itself.

Håller med en tidigare kommentator - en review i rätt tid. Som alltid är det en riktigt bra genomgång och trevlig filmat. Jättebra jobbat och stort tack!

…as a German in Sweden, I got to love Fjällräven. For different reasons but mostly because of their robustness, quality materials and making as well as practicality and comfort in carrying. I have an Abisko, Kajka and a Keb (both with wooden frame). I just bought a Deuter for daily adventures, also quite nice from my first impressions…. Very different looks though.

I had completely forgot about the noise from raven gyro, quite annoying.

I also own a Unaweep 4800...It is the green XPAC material which i believe is a bit heavier denier.
I have had this pack for a couple years now and i have become quite fond of it due to its build quality and versatility....I also love the old style gear...one of my favorite packs has been the Swedish military LK35 a most simple and easy to use rucksack!...also very inexpensive...Cheers from Montana...MTwoods

Jag fick min Unaweep 4800 någon vecka innan denna review, valde att köpa den öppningsbara med dragkedja i hela säckens längd, dragkedjan är vattentät ;) men ingen av alla sömmar som gjorts, rätt oförklarligt att sömmarna inte är tejpade eller siliconbehandlade.
Tack för ännu en klockren review, en av de få som man kan lita på.

I have used Savotta backpacks with outer frame. Savotta 725, Savotta 906 and now i have Savotta Jääkäri XL. Jääkäri XL is modern backpack and very good for heavy loads, and weighs about 4kg without outer pockets. My heaviest load with Jääkäri Xl was 34kg+ my camera gear. I have been thinking to buy Osprey Aether Pro, its only 1.8kg 🤔

Interesting backpack. I'll keep them in mind, thanks.

Personally I prefer military packs (Savotta/Tasmanian Tiger/Mystery Ranch). Mostly because of their extreme flexibility. I generally get a 45-60 liter pack, then I pick up 2 to 3 12 liter pouches which can be attached to the side and/or back of the pack, which lets me expand it out to 80-100 liters when I want more space, or take them off again when I don't need it. These packs can also carry 50+kg, and they are tough as hell, for only slightly more weight (2-3kg). I can also add medical pouches, canteen pouches, stuff sacks to the belt or rear of the pack too.

Thanks for the review. I have older version and after 5 years it still keeps going. I chose mesh pocket instead of talon and love it. I have no cons whatsoever for this backpack. If this ever breaks I will consider newer model just as you said

What's your normal pack weight heading in? What's the max weight you could carry in a hunting pack 10 miles a day if you had 2? What's the heaviest you've carried for 10 plus miles to date and what carrying system did you use? I'm shooting for 100 pounds 10 miles a day 30 days for thru hiking. Will start at 100 pounds end at 60 be carrying 40 pounds of food I won't be hunting. I figured I'd as a hunter because of how heavy Thier packs are compared to thru hikers.

Hey, Matti... are you aware if the ine by ORTLIEB, Model called Atrack 45 l ? Check it out...

Absolutely agree with you about the frame and "old sttle" backpacks. The modern ones are just not capable of carrying loads for long trips that include water and food.

Hello from the USA great video. Love the pack and the pups that came into the video. Have a great time with your gear and I wish you the best sir!

I bought an used seekoutside precipice xpax x51 5800 and completed it with new spectragrid belt,2 beltpockets,talon,toplid,2wingspan pockets. If i want it can be huuuge but it can easily be very small an nimble in second s. I like seekoutside products but to compare with an old swedish exterior frame backpack from 1998 haglöfs alaska with special belt it fades away in durability,build quality except for the newer better fabric in bag itself.
If to carry about 15-20kg I think seek is better but for the heavy loads i would choose haglöfs grönlandsram or even the stiff heavy norröna recon.

Hello from USA . What jacket are you wearing?

Another thing with buying these kinds of high quality products is supporting small businesses. In a day and age where companies are getting larger and larger it's nice to support the little guys who are still making gear with authenticity. I just pulled the trigger on a Seek Outside Divide pack, quite a similar style to the Unaweep (minus the talon system) it seems. I've got an older (2014?) Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre 65:85L but my most recent hiking trip brought about the decision to move towards retiring it. It's exterior is super tough (630D nylon) but it's damn heavy @ 2.9kg.

Just got the new unaweep 4800. All the adjustments are so well thought. Love it so much. Thanks for making such a great backpack 👍👍👍

I was not prepared for the loons screaming! 11/10, will watch more.
