Road Test

For over five decades backpacks and daypacks have evolved into essential accessories for many people, especially travellers. Personally I’ve loved them and have used one for more than 30 years. My first was simple daypack I could throw over my shoulder for use travelling to and from the USA from England. Although I gave up an admittedly stylish and expensive hand held carry on bag at the time to use a daypack, I was seduced by it being was so much more practical and easy-to-use, especially while travelling with a large suitcase, and later, a laptop. Over the years I’ve had many daypacks, even daypack-style handbags, some for travel and some for day-to-day use. Today there are many to choose from, and daypacks which are more highly tailored to your personal needs, with features which include being lightweight or waterproof, and some having a more eco-friendly angle. If you’re looking for something which is incredibly functional and ticks a lineup of other boxes, Fjallraven’s new ULVO 23 is a daypack ideal for all busy people on the go. It not only has stylish good looks, but is also a daypack which exudes quality and convenience. Some of its many features include a zippered opening and padded computer compartment for a laptop or tablet up to 15”, back panel and integrated shoulder straps which are constructed with air mesh to provide ventilation and cushioned comfort, and both sternum and side compression straps to ensure that the contents of the daypack are safe and secure. The daypack is made from Fjallraven’s award-winning Bergshell 400D Fabric in 100 per cent recycled nylon; that means it’s water resistant, as well as tear and abrasion-resistant, and lightweight while being sturdy. The ULVO 23 dimensions are 28 x 45 x 12.5 centimetres, with a volume of 23 litres, and a weight of 650g empty. This means, for travellers especially, it will flat pack in your luggage if necessary, and it’s suitable for a lineup of on-the-go activities from travelling and light treks, to shopping, going to the gym and everyday commuting.
