Stylish panel-loader that’s up to any task

Gear designers will tell you it’s the everyday backpacks that are the hardest to get right. They’ve got to do you for work, play, commuting, hiking or travel – and they need to look just as good with your workday smart clothes and your weekend casuals. Fortunately, this Vardag Backpack 17 from Fjällräven ticks all those boxes. Constructed in robust 500D recycled polyamide, it’s a functional panel-loader with side bottle pockets and internal organisation including mesh pockets and a laptop sleeve. And because it’s Fjällräven, there are some stylish extra touches too. We like the slanted front zip, the retro Fjällräven logo badge and the off-set lash clips on the front panel that let you attach hiking poles, tripod, a rolled-up jacket or anything else that won’t quite fit inside.
