I had a hiking bag from Go Outdoors for wild camping, but the straps broke after the first use. It was a 65-litre bag, which was just about adequate for all my gear. I’m now considering the Fjallraven Kajika 65-75 litre bags, which really caught my eye. However, I’m not sure if they’re right for me as I’ve noticed that bags of 65-75 litres can feel quite different. I’m based in the UK and use my gear for wild camping and mountain climbing. Any recommendations for 65-75 litre hiking bags would be greatly appreciated!
If you’re not too focused on ultralight gear, consider ESSL bags. They’re reliable and even used by the Austrian Army.

What does UL mean?

UL stands for Ultralight. These are bags designed to be extremely light, often without any framing, to carry only very light gear.
I own a 75L Kajka and find it extremely comfortable for long hikes. It fits well, especially for my size (6’3", 215 lbs). It accommodates all my gear comfortably, including a Namatj 3gt tent. The bag is adjustable, durable, and the wooden frame does not affect stability or comfort compared to metal frames.

I’m curious about the wooden frame. Have you noticed any less stability compared to metal?
