About Fjällräven Backpacks

Everyday & Urban Daypacks

Ideal for commuting, travel or light hikes, models like the High Coast Foldsack 24 and Vardag Splitpack combine compact volumes with practical design. They feature water-repellent fabrics and flexible storage suited for daily carry.

Trekking & Travel Backpacks

For longer routes or multi-day use, consider packs like Ulvö 23, which expand via roll-top, or more rugged Skule and Abisko models. These include ventilation, ergonomic strap systems and useful organisational pockets for trail needs.

Performance & Material Highlights

  • Durability: Reinforced seams and high-grade fabrics like G‑1000 HeavyDuty and reinforced polyamide bases.
  • Water Resistance: G‑1000 swells to block moisture when waxed; models like Ulvö use Bergshell for waterproof protection.
  • Comfort: Padded backs, ergonomic straps, compression systems, and load balancing features.
  • Eco Features: Recycled polyamide fabrics and PFAS-free treatments where possible.

Fjällräven Backpacks FAQs

Kånken bags are simple, lightweight daypacks with a boxy shape — best for commuting, school and short trips. The broader backpack range includes trekking packs (Kajka, Abisko), roll-top daypacks (Ulvö, High Coast Foldsack) and travel packs (Splitpack, Travel Pack) with more structured carry systems, ventilated backs and larger capacities. Browse Kånken bags or the full backpack range.

The High Coast Foldsack 24 and Ulvö 23 are strong choices — both offer weather-resistant fabrics, comfortable straps and enough room for a waterproof layer, food and essentials. The Ulvö uses a roll-top for variable packing, while the Foldsack keeps things simple with a fold-over closure.

Match the volume to your use: 16–20L for daily commuting, 20–30L for day hikes, and 35L+ for multi-day trekking or travel. For trekking packs, also check the back length — Fjällräven offers adjustable harnesses on larger models. Kånken bags are one-size and suit most adults for lighter loads.

Most are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. G-1000 fabric sheds light rain and can be waxed for extra protection. Models like the Ulvö use Bergshell for stronger weather resistance. For heavy rain, use the pack's rain cover if supplied, or add a separate one. Zips are generally not sealed, so contents benefit from a dry bag in wet conditions.

Yes, if the pack uses G-1000 fabric. Apply thin layers to the lid, front panel and base — the areas most exposed to rain and ground contact. Keep shoulder strap contact areas lighter to prevent wax transfer to clothing. See our Greenland Wax guide for application steps.
