An elastic keeper makes an appearance here, too, so dangling straps are thwarted once again for a much cleaner look. Looking at the back panel, it’s also lightly padded and features a mesh lining to help with breathability.

When we pull the zipper all the way open or closed, it tends to get stuck in the corners, so we have to finagle it to get it back along the track.

Because a zipper secures the actual access point, you can unhook and unroll this bag to its full height and pack the compartment full with gear, and everything will still stay secure. Designed with a large main compartment that can be extended, the High Coast features a unique fold-over zippered closure that is safely secured with a metal hook at the front. Thankfully, it does have compression straps on either side that you can use to cinch it down when carrying a lighter line up to give the bag some structure semblance. Overall I am biased to say I love all Fjallraven items and have not purchased anything from them that has let me down. We like the honesty and are happy to report that despite this, the material still offers great protection from the elements for your gear.

Founded in 1960, to this day Fjällräven stays true to it's founder Åke Norin's vision of offering functional equipment for journeys in the outdoors. Ready to play – the High Coast Foldsack is a light, versatile daypack in waterproof, recycled nylon. We especially like their corded zipper pulls that are a mix of blue, yellow, and white, so they’re much easier to find than if they were the same blue as the bag. The pack has certainly held its own over long rough walks and wrestling with an incredibly happy and hyperactive husky. Then, at the top of the bag, you have a small handle with which to grab the bag when you’re getting something out or need to move or slide it around quickly.Fjällräven develop environmentally friendly fabrics and co-operate with partners to improve the environment and support biodiversity.

I put my pants,uniform,vardag anorak I bought previously,spare socks,snacks and bottles of water in the side pockets. in addition, filling up the 3 outer pockets will take away space from the inner compartment, but for my travel needs it's a good feature. Comfortable to carry, the lightly padded shoulder straps offer all day comfort and the adjustable chest and hip straps can easily be removed. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Being a keen cyclist, I have made great use of the reflective features and the chest strap whilst cycling at night and after being caught in a fair few downpours which we seem to have had constantly for the last few months, the pack has kept my things cosy and dry.Speaking of the shoulder straps, paired with the lightly padded back system, this is a very comfortable daypack and I have stayed very happy and comfortable through long hikes over the hills, this pack has seen most of Dartmoor by now.

LD Mountain Centre does not accept responsibility for items being delayed through customs/ security checks or adverse weather conditions. We do need to note, though, that we’ve had some trouble with the zipper on the main opening during testing. The backsystem is a very simple design, with just two mesh-lined shoulder straps, a removable hipbelt and a removable chest strap.Your personal data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and you can unsubscribe at any time. T he High Coast Foldsack from Fjällräven sports a light and versatile design built from a recycled nylon with water-resistant properties. Fjällräven’s High Coast family is a versatile everyday range that is made to fit perfectly into your daily schedule but also is hardy and practical enough for outdoor activities such as hiking and overnight camping in warmer months. it fits loads in it but when it's very full it's really hard to put anything in the front pocket, which is my only issue with this bag.
