Back in the day Savotta was also known as “Savotta retkeilyväline”, “retkeily” meaning hiking/trekking and “väline” literally translating into “implement” or “instrument”. Yes, it’s exactly as clunky even in Finnish. Back then we had this cool old logo depicting a backpacker hiking up a hill carrying a big backpack. This patch design is based on that old logo, reimagined to celebrate our history as makers of serious military gear, with “retkeilyväline” being replaced with “sotaväline”, “war implement”.

And in a fusion of heritage and cutting-edge 1990s technology, this version was hand drawn by our Product manager Stefan Melander using Microsoft Paint.

Natalie ★★★★★

The fabric texture has that rugged, old-school feel I was hoping for, and it sewed onto my pack without any fraying. I’ve been looking for this specific style with the “retkeily” heritage for ages. Exactly what I needed to finish off my kit.

Julian ★★★★★

This patch brings back the old-school Savotta hiking vibe perfectly, the embroidery is clean and the hook-side backing holds tight on my pack. Really glad to have a piece of that clunky but genuine retro gear.

Matthew S. ★★★★★

The stitched lettering on this one is way cleaner than the cheap iron-on patches I've had before. Stuck it on my hiking pack and it hasn't frayed or peeled after a couple months of weekend trips. Fun little nod to the old "retkeilyväline" era too.
