Deep Dive
Why We Like The Fjallraven Kaipak 28L Backpack
The Fjallraven Kaipak 28 Backpack is a classic trekking pack with a functional, no-nonsense design and robust materials made to handle life on the trail. Perfect for shorter hikes and day trips, this pack features an extremely tough G-1000 Eco Heavy Duty fabric that is almost impossible to wear out, gives the pack a classic look, and is made with organic cotton and recycled polyester to make it less harmful to the environment. It's also waxed for water resistance, and there's an included rain cover in case you get caught in a serious downpour.
A detachable hip belt and sternum strap keep the pack secure and steady when we're hiking, and trekking pole attachment points give us a spot to store our poles when we don't need them. Compression straps squeeze in everything we need for the day, and multiple pockets help us stay organized.
