The Swedish company Fjällräven (translated as "polar fox") is today a legendary manufacturer of backpacks, clothing, and other outdoor equipment. The result of the brand's long-term development is also a series of urban backpacks High Coast, including the 24-liter Foldsack model.
This lightweight urban backpack features a minimalist design, which also defines all of Scandinavia. And although it looks modest at first glance, don't be mistaken – it is packed with smart functions and accessories that you simply want from an urban backpack. And we definitely have to mention the playful colors that are typical for the Fjällräven brand.
The practical design of the backpack can be seen on the lid, which is foldable and, if needed, its straightening can increase the internal volume of the backpack, specifically its main compartment. Small items can be easily stored in the easily accessible front pocket.
Although the backpack's seams are not glued and the zipper is not waterproof (after all, it is still an urban and not a trekking backpack), the main fabric used is waterproof, so the backpack offers decent resistance to rain. Lightly padded shoulder straps make the Fjällräven High Coast Foldpack suitable for travel and movement around the city – comfort is guaranteed.
From the past, we know that some clothing and equipment can even harm health due to their chemical treatments. This is not the case with Fjällräven High Coast Foldsack backpacks because, for example, they do not contain PFAS, which are perfluorinated and polyfluorinated substances widely used in the second half of the 20th century.
Fjällräven backpacks are truly sustainable regardless of size. The polyamide used is recycled, as is the lining. The manufacturer speaks of "sustainability through long life." Which should be a standard for quality products regardless of the specific product.
