A reinforced and more feature packed evolution of the standard Paljakka. Capable of transporting far heavier loads than possible in a backpack, ahkios are a valuable tool for extended operations in the arctic winter.
The pull poles are crossed for good mobility and steerability and attach to the belt using a rope lock. A complete spare steel pulling rod is included, its two parts double up as the stiffeners for the edge of the snow cargo cover.
The Border ahkio is a "military upgrade" over the standard Paljakka model, featuring a number of additional features and an overall stronger build:
Slightly thicker fiberglass body for added strength
White cargo cover and belt instead of blue
A complete spare steel pulling pole
Six steel D-rings on the inside for attaching heavy loads, AT mines, machine guns, ammunition etc
The carry handles are made of webbing instead of rope
There are carry handles on the sides, allowing four people to carry a heavy load comfortably
The end of the body features a reinforced point allowing the next skier to push the ahkio forward in difficult terrain
The Border ahkio is 2,5 kg heavier than the Paljakka, but this is but a fraction of the weight of the loads this thing is designed to carry
