Walkers with Fjällräven, Travel Backpacks

Fjällräven Travel Pack, Splitpack and Kajka

Short breaks, work trips, hut-to-hut trekking—Fjällräven’s luggage range covers a wide range of travel. Each pack is built around simple, robust construction, tidy organisation and carry systems that feel comfortable when pavements end and the path begins. Here’s how the Travel Pack, Splitpack and Kajka differ, and when to choose each.

Travel Pack: city to cabin in one bag

The Travel Pack is a streamlined carry-on with the flexibility of a small rucksack. A two-handle grab system makes quick work of trains and overhead lockers, while stowable padded shoulder straps convert it into a backpack when you want hands-free. The main compartment opens clamshell-style for easy packing, with internal dividers to keep clothes separate from tech and a wash kit.

  • Fast access: a zipped front section gives quick reach to documents and small items without opening the whole bag.
  • Protected storage: padded sleeves and secure pockets help keep a laptop, chargers and travel essentials tidy.
  • Travel-friendly build: clean lines, durable fabric and minimal dangly parts reduce snagging in tight spaces.

Best when you’re moving between meetings, stations and short walks—pack once, stay organised, no faff at checkpoints.

Fjällräven's lightweight Travel Pack

Splitpack: the organised duffel that carries like a rucksack

Think of the Splitpack as a duffel refined for order and comfort. It opens down the middle like a book into two equal compartments, each covered by mesh to keep the kit in place. Three internal mesh pockets sort smaller items; additional outer pockets handle quick-grab gear. A padded back panel and shoulder straps mean it carries securely when the route includes a longer walk.

  • Balanced packing: divide clean/used kit or work/weekend gear without mixing.
  • Hard-wearing fabric: G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco panels stand up to luggage carousels and boot floors.
  • Versatile carry: backpack straps for distance; grab handles for short lifts.

Ideal for active short breaks where you need space for shoes, layers and kit, yet still want order and quick access.

Kajka: trekking backpack for long distances and heavy loads

Kajka is built for multi-day trekking with a supportive, adjustable carry and a layout that makes remote travel simpler. A robust wooden frame underpins the suspension system, helping transfer weight to the hips. Front, side and lower access points take the rummage out of camp set-up, while the wet/dry front pocket separates damp layers. Safety touches—such as an integrated whistle and reflective rain cover—add proper visibility.

  • Supportive fit: a height-adjustable back system and padded hip belt distribute weight for steady progress.
  • Practical access: top load plus front zip panel; side zips to reach buried items without unpacking.
  • Trekking detail: compression straps, gear attachment points and a tough base for rough ground.

Choose Kajka when you’re carrying camping gear, food and water for days at a time and need dependable structure and comfort.

  • Multi-day trekking with shelter and stove: Kajka for load transfer, multiple access points and trail comfort.

Materials and weather notes

Travel Pack and Splitpack use tightly woven, durable fabrics that shed light showers and stand up to abrasion; selected panels use G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco for extra toughness. Kajka combines a weather-resistant shell with a strong frame and supportive harness. For persistent rain on G-1000 panels, you can add a light coat of Greenland Wax to increase beading; use the supplied rain cover on Kajka in wet spells.
