My current backpack’s zipline finally gave up it’s service after almost 5 years of usage, and I’m looking for a new one. I haven’t ever used a premium backpack per say, but after some searching I have found some good looking candidates for a daily commuter / shorter travelling backpack.
- Thule Paramount 24L
- Thule Paramount 27L
- Fjällräven Räven 28
- Fjällräven High Coast Foldsack 24
What are your experiences with Thule and Fjällräven backpacks? My backpack surely needs to be atleast 24L, because on my commuting days the backpack is filled up with a laptop, mice, headphones, and a gym bag (clothing + shoes)
I bought a Skule 28 last summer and love it! It quickly became my go-to bag. It’s got a plethora of internal pockets and spaces to keep things organized, regardless of what I’m throwing in it. I haven’t quite run it through it’s paces though, so I can’t quite give a detailed accounting of it’s shortfalls, but I’m certainly eased by knowing if anything happens to it, I can easily send it in to be repaired.
Ahh Skule is also an amazing one that looks pretty eye candy to the eyes. How long warranty do you have on your backpack?
From what I understand all their bags have this same warranty https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/customer-service/warranty/
Ohh I see so they have a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects. That seems decent + it’s touching to see how to repair guides on their sites.
