Fjallraven Skule 28L Backpack

Received this bag as a present 2 years back and still love it as much as i did then. It can be used for a range of things, ive used it for: work, hiking, weekend trips, 7 day holidays, it does it all. With a bit of shoving it can also be used as an easyjet free hand luggage bag! I did an overnight hike up Snowdon in torrential rain last year and despite myself being wet through even with waterproofs everything in my bag remained dry and didn't even get damp!!

bought a year ago, used daily since then for classes. i've also brought it on 3 trips cross country and functions excellently as a day bag as well. hasn't started to experience wear/anything breaking yet. well worth for the price!

So perfect for college students with heavy books! My backpacks are always stuffed to the brim and my back and shoulders have suffered greatly for it. I used to think my spine was just weak, but once I switched to the Skule 28, I realized I was just using ill-fitting backpacks! For reference, I'm a 5'2 female with a short torso; this pack distributes weight perfectly. I don't feel any strain on my back or shoulders AT ALL! The pack has some rigidity to it in the straps and back area which I appreciate. The whole thing is so high quality and I can tell it'll last me years. Bonus: it works excellently as a hiking daypack. The side stretch pockets paired with the side clips allow me to carry my huge 48oz Nalgene without worrying about it slipping out. There's plenty of attachment points for hanging things or tying things down. I don't feel back pain while hiking anymore because of this pack!

Trekking poles on one side, crampons attached with a carabiner to the other, mid-layer attached on the loops for quick access, food and other items in the main compartment- this bag is a good companion for a day's hike, or even quick mountaineering trip. Then I return from the hike, empty my backpack, put in my laptop, notebooks etc. and go to the office! This is an all-in-one backpack that also looks nice, is durable and very comfortable to wear (the only thing that is not comfortable are the lower straps that go straight through my belly, so I only use the upper ones). Not many backpacks are equally fitting to carry in the mountains and in the office, this one is the best for me.

It was a best gift from my wife. Best backpack i have ever had!

Great backpack and I recommend it to everyone. However, I have one criticism. The belt strap dangles awkwardly by your legs when you are not using it. To hide these dangling straps, you have to fold up the loose straps and slip an elastic band over each one every time. I wish there was a way to conceal the straps or even remove them while not using them.

I needed a new backpack since the last one i got was a North face backpack similar to this one but it was from 7 years ago. My requirements was a Durable, large enough for my music folder and text books, and on the simpler side(fewer rather than more pockets). I chose this style because it had just the right amount of pockets and the dimensions were perfect for my school materials. Since using it, I have not regretted my decision. It’s comfortable, cute, durable, and it feels very well made! (Something that seems so hard to get from big name companies).

Rugged. I have two. One for my water bottle and the other for my coffee container. Very handy at the airport.
