Fjallraven  Abisko Hike Foldsack

By far my favourite pack! Amazing and comfortable padding, I like the zip top closure too! I do enjoy the shape of this pack, and how the fabric feels. Only thing I would like is maybe a little more organization on the inside or one more larger outside zip pocket, similar to what’s on the ulvo pack. I’d recommend this pack to anyone!! So excited to bring this as my day pack to Iceland! The forge grey is also a dark grey/green BEAUTIFUL COLOUR!!!

I picked out this bag as I wanted something with a little more volume than the daypack I had been using for bike errands, overnight trips, and occasional hikes. The side pockets are spacious; you can actually fit a U-lock in them! The structured back felt a little odd when I tried the bag on empty, but it felt much better with the bag loaded up. The bag doesn't look too frumpy when empty, either. It would be nice to have a little more organization - maybe a deep outside pocket for a few essentials. I'm also unsure why the description says its not compatible with a water reservoir - there's a sleeve, attachment loop, and an exit port for a hose - which makes for a nice addition for a longer hike. I can't speak to the long-term waterproofness, but it fended off a 20-30 minute deluge on a recent ride while keeping everything inside dry. Overall it met my expectations as versatile daypack. Looking forward to seeing what all I can strap to this thing and how it holds up.

I had been considering buying this bag for a while and wanted to love it. I am going trekking for 2 weeks and this had all the features I was looking for: zippered/fold top, spacious compartment, light colored interior, place for rain coat on outside, place for trekking poles, waist strap, etc. Unfortunately, I found the straps to be absolutely terrible, and a deal-breaker for me. The straps were heavy, stiff, and wide. When I say "wide", I mean it both ways - the straps were wide-set (far apart from each other) AND each strap was so wide that it took up most of my shoulder. For reference, I am a woman, 5'7, 145 lbs with medium build. Most fjallraven bags fit me fine. However, these straps seemed made for someone with a much wider frame. The straps were uncomfortable just wearing it around the house with a small bit of weight in it, so I imaged that the bag would be very uncomfortable on a long trek. Sadly, I returned it. Please Fjallraven, consider making this same bag with more narrow straps for ladies.

This is the best backpack I have ever had and I got my first backpack in 1964.

I was really excited about this back, I thought it was everything I was looking for but after using this bag almost daily for the past 2 years (from daily use/commuting, to travel and hiking) I am ready to throw this thing in a shredder. The two saving graces about this backpack to me are the big side pockets and the fabric durability. But the draw backs strongly outweigh the positives: I'm quiet a slim person and find the straps too narrow, I like to wear my backpacks pretty flush against my back but no matter how this pack is adjusted, it cuts into the tops of my shoulders/neck; Adjusting the straps is also frustrating. Whenever I try to tighten them, it doesn't matter how light or heavy the pack is, more than half the time it doesn't pull through the strap adjuster no matter how hard I pull or slacken and retighten. There's nothing caught in it and there is still plenty room for adjustment so I don't understand the problem; The main part of the bag is quiet narrow and is weird to pack as it also gets a bit wider if unrolling the top, so it is often thinner at the bottom them bulges at the top. I've really tried to love this bag and feel I have given it a good try but I just can't stand to use it anymore. I have another backpack from Fjallraven that I have had for over 10 years that I love, but was very disappointed with this one.
