The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "polar fox") is now a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing and other outdoor equipment. The result of the brand's long development is also the Lappland series of backpacks, including this 15-liter universal model Hike 15.
This versatile backpack for day-long outdoor trips or hunting is designed to be as comfortable to carry as possible. Its carrying system is made of wool, which can beautifully regulate temperature. The backpack's back panel, for example, is made from wool that is processed under pressure and is additionally residual wool from Swedish farms.
The individual elements of the backpack are adapted for use in the forest – making it suitable for hunters as well. For instance, thanks to the flexible shoulder straps that make handling weapons easier or the thin profile of the backpack, which minimizes the risk of the backpack getting caught on branches or underbrush while moving through trees. It also maintains great freedom of movement.
Fjällräven clothing and equipment, regardless of the specific model, are truly sustainable. For example, the polyester used in the patented G-1000 HeavyDuty S material is recycled, and it is also pleasing to note that the cotton included in the material mix of this backpack is organic. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through longevity." This should be the standard for quality products, regardless of the specific item.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm health through their chemical treatments. This is not the case with the Fjällräven Lappland Hike 15 backpack, as it does not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
