Full Review

In this review, we are taking a look at the Fjallraven Splitpack—a 35L bag that’s split between being a duffel and a backpack. (See what they did there?)

Having reviewed the Fjallraven Travel Pack and Kanken Mini , we’re low-key digging this brand. We’ve mainly been impressed with their minimalist aesthetic, quality materials, and durability—and we hope the Splitpack can continue to deliver on all of these fronts.

So, how does the Fjallraven Splitpack work as a duffel and a backpack? Does it do one better than the other? Could it possibly—*gulp*—fall short at both? Let’s find out.

Material & Aesthetic

With its clean lines and streamlined design, the sleek Scandinavian style of the Fjallraven Splitpack is easy on the eye. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so we polled our Instagram audience about the look of this pack. Only 33% said they liked the look of this pack, which is surprisingly low.

We do polls like this all time, so if you’d like to partake in the next one, make sure you’re following @packhacker on Instagram .

The branding on this pack is minimal and strategically placed. The most noticeable is Fjallraven’s arctic fox logo on the side. Additionally, there is that same arctic fox logo etched into the snap fasteners and clamshell zipper pulls—Fjallraven does have one of the slickest logos in the game, so we can’t blame them for wanting to use it. Next, there is the Fjallraven name on the shoulder strap buckles, and finally, a Swedish flag tab on the back. It sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t—you have to look pretty hard to find most of them. And we think they look pretty great.

The Splitpack is available in six colors—black, dark olive, deep blue, green, navy, and redwood. We’re digging the subdued, earthy tones, and we’ve been impressed with how our dark olive pack fits into both an urban and rural environment.

The material of this pack is made of G-1000 Heavy Duty Eco—Fjallraven’s unique canvas blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. We dove deep into the details of this material in our review of the Fjallraven Travel Pack , so if you’re crazy into this stuff like us, head over there to read more. In short, all you need to know is that it’s a durable, weather-resistant material that has performed well for us in testing.

Moving on, all of the zippers on this pack are YKK. The clamshell zip is a strong and durable YKK #10, while all the others are YKK #5. It’s essential to have reliable zips on a clamshell bag because if the main zipper breaks, it renders the bag completely unusable. Thankfully, Fjallraven has you covered in this area. All of the zippers are reverse coil too—which means the coil sits on the inside and the fabric on the outside. It’s only a small thing, but it will stop dirt and grime getting on the coil, and we think they look good too—a win-win in our book. (And it should be in yours too!)

The Splitpack also features metal zipper pulls, buckles, and snap fasteners. We appreciate Fjallraven’s decision to opt for metal here over plastic, as they’re more durable. They also give the bag more of a “premium” feel.

External Components

Diving into the external components, we’ll start with the harness system. And we have to be honest, the Fjallraven Splitpack doesn’t offer much of a harness system. There’s no hip belt, sternum strap, or load-lifters—just a pair of basic shoulder straps. Some bags can provide a comfortable carry without these additional elements, but we’re not going to beat around the bush here—that is not the case with this pack. Without external features to secure this bag onto your frame, it just droops off your back, making even a medium-sized load uncomfortable to carry. The shoulder straps and back panel are padded, but that’s where the pros end—it’s pretty bleak.

At this point, you’re probably thinking “if the backpack carry isn’t great, then surely the duffel style carry is going to make up for it.” Unfortunately, you’d be mistaken. Fjallraven has tried to kill two birds with one stone, but they threw that stone like 50 Cent threw the first pitch at that Mets game . (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t a good throw.)

Shoulder Straps To Duffel Handles Transition On The Fjallraven Splitpack

The shoulder straps transition into duffel handles by pulling the straps as far as they will go through the buckle, and then securing the snap fastener for a #danglefreeexperience. The issue is that, although you can carry these straps as a duffel, they’re still just shoulder straps. They don’t fit comfortably in your hand, and when this bag is full, it can be hard to hold the straps together.

Other than the duffel/shoulder straps, there are grab-handles on either end of the bag. They come in handy for lifting the pack into overhead storage on planes and trains, but not much else. We think an additional grab-handle on this bag, either on the side or back, would vastly improve the carry options.

Inside The Pack

There are two external pockets on either side of this pack. They are an excellent size for your typical quick-grab items—like a passport, wallet, phone—and we were even able to fit a Kindle in them! Just be aware that these pockets do lack depth, so when this bag is at full capacity they can be a tad tricky to access. It’s also important to note that this pack doesn’t have a water bottle pocket. The severity of this is dependent on your use case—but for us, it gets marked down as a con.

For those of you that emphasize security, you’ll be pleased to hear that both the exterior pockets and clamshell zippers sit against your back, making it almost impossible for a thief to gain access when this thing is on your back.

Thanks to its clamshell design, the main compartment opens up all the way, like a traditional suitcase. The big YKK #10 clamshell zip features a large metal zipper pull for easy pulling, and there are also holes that you can pop a padlock through to secure the zips together—better luck next time, thieves!

Inside the pack, you’ll find two equally-sized compartments with zippered mesh dividers. The right-hand side features a couple of internal zippered pockets that are useful for storing smaller items inside.

The left-hand side compartment lacks any internal organization, but it does have a thin zippered pocket on top, perfect for flatter items like a notepad or various travel documents.

Because the Fjallraven Splitpack divides its compartments between left and right—as opposed to front and back—you have to be mindful where you’re packing heavier gear. It can be a bit tricky at times, and the carry becomes lopsided if one side is heavier than the other.

At this point in most travel backpack reviews, we’d talk about the laptop compartment, but we won’t be covering it in this review—because the Fjallraven Splitpack doesn’t have one. This is a must-have feature for most digital nomads, but it may not be an issue if you’re looking for a pack to take with you on short city breaks—it’s ultimately up to you and your use case. We did find that you can fit a 13” laptop within the thin mesh sleeve on top of the left-side compartment, but it’s less than ideal.

Durability & Testing

We’ve been testing the Fjallraven Splitpack for about one month, and it’s seen use as a one bag travel pack on a ten-day trip to Portugal.

Just like the other Fjallraven packs we’ve reviewed, the craftsmanship is impeccable and the quality materials—such as the G-1000 fabric, metal components, and YKK zippers—assure us that this bag is built to last. After one month of use, our Splitpack still looks as good as new.

We’ve found that the G-1000 material on the Fjallraven Travel Pack marked easily, but we’re pleased to say that this hasn’t been the case on the Splitpack. Though, like the Travel Pack, it did attract a fair amount of fluff—we are extra nit-picky here, though.

The concept of this pack had most of us on the Pack Hacker team pretty excited. Unfortunately, it has failed to deliver. Both the backpack and duffel-style carry are uncomfortable, and we’re left questioning just who this bag would work for. The lack of a laptop compartment makes it inadequate for digital nomads, and the poor harness system and lack of a dedicated water bottle pocket make it impractical for the more adventurous travelers.

Perhaps it could work well as a dedicated clothes bag for more long-term, extended travel with multiple bags? That’s not really our kind of thing, so it’s hard to say. We did find some success using this pack as a gym bag… But needless to say, we expected much more from this bag.

I Road Tripped Through Southern Ireland for 7 Days, and These Are the 13 Items I Couldn’t Have Done It Without

Travel + Leisure / Madison Woiten

As an Italian travel writer with Irish citizenship, I recently planned a week-long road trip through southern Ireland to explore my maternal grandfather’s country and connect with my heritage. The road trip included driving through six counties, with nights spent in small fishing villages on the coast, cliffside hikes accompanied by wandering sheep, and mountain-and-lake-framed sheepdog demonstrations. With the weather in constant flux (Ireland could give Boston a run for its money when it comes to capricious weather), plenty of outdoor activities planned, and long hours spent in the car, the trip required the right gear, which I quickly realized can make all of the difference — especially when driving on the opposite side of the road. 

I’ve created a foolproof packing list of my favorite travel essentials from Amazon that made my week-long road trip through southern Ireland a breeze. From rain boots and compression packing cubes to portable tire inflators and water-resistant hiking pants , these 13 products made my trip go off without a hitch, so much so that I’m already planning a second Irish road trip. 

Chelsea Rain Boots

Rain boots generally aren’t known to be the most stylish footwear, but these ultra-affordable Chelsea-style ones from Asgard manage to strike the right balance between functional and fashionable. These were my primary footwear while in Ireland, as they were durable enough to deal with the rain, wind, and mud (which easily came off with a wet wipe), but also nice enough to be worn around towns and cities. However, the best part is how comfortable they are — after walking 10,000 to 20,000 steps a day (every day) for a week, my feet were miraculously blister-free. It’s no wonder that these boots have more than 17,000 five-star rating at Amazon.

Lightweight Puffer Jacket  

My road trip took place in March, which is when Ireland is known to be rainy with mild temperatures — hence why I decided to pack a lightweight, water-resistant puffer. I wanted some degree of insulation, but not to the point of overheating and feeling bogged down. I wore my favorite lightweight puffer jacket from Zara that comes with two large exterior pockets, which are perfect for holding smaller items such as lip balm and my phone. If you're in need of an equally lightweight and high-performing puffer, this best-selling Amazon Essentials one has over 15,000 five-star ratings and should do just the trick. Available in multiple colors with sizes ranging from XS to 6XL, it can pack neatly into a small, handy travel case for easy packing. 

Asia Palomba

Compression Packing Cubes

I’ve never been a believer in compression packing cubes until I came across this Gonex set with more than 5,900 five-star ratings at Amazon. Since I only brought a carry-on suitcase and a personal item for my trip, I needed to make sure that I could pack a week’s worth of bulky clothing between the two — and these compression packing cubes did just the trick. In them, I was able to pack two pairs of pants, one pair of leggings, four long-sleeve shirts, a pair of thermal long johns, two T-shirts, a pair of sleeping shorts, and four sweaters. 

Available in a bundle of four different sizes, ranging from S to XL, they not only easily compressed my thick clothing items, but also left me with plenty of room to pack a pair of hiking boots, a rain poncho, and my toiletry items. Now that I’ve officially been converted into team compression packing cubes , I won't be traveling anywhere without them.

Portable Tire Inflator 

My week-long road trip naturally hinged on having a functioning rental car. As I knew the majority of the roads that I would be driving on would be narrow and at times unpaved, I wanted to make sure that I had a compact, portable tire inflator that could quickly and easily inflate my rental car’s tires. It especially came in handy when driving up the Priest’s Leap, a steep, narrow, and winding mountain pass freckled with cows and sheep. Half-way up the rural pass, all four of my rental car’s tire pressure got low, but this small, mighty device thankfully inflated them within 20 minutes. The tire inflator is compact enough to fit into a personal item, and comes with different valves that can inflate anything from balls to air mattresses, so it’s an especially versatile gadget to have on hand for any road trip.

Ankle-height Hiking Boots

Much of my trip included cliffside hikes and traipsing along mud-soaked fields, which as one can assume, was a fairly messy affair. These Keen hiking boots, which I’ve had for two years, protected me against the rain and mud, even when they were submerged in an ankle-deep puddle (only the tops of my socks, which weren't protected by the boots, were stained). They can be worn in any season thanks to their breathable, waterproof exteriors and light mesh linings. The grip from their high-traction rubber soles, which is great for hiking in damper conditions, has always kept me firmly on the ground, even in the slipperiest of situations. Plus, they come with removable, dual-density EVA footbeds with arch support, so they’re incredibly comfortable and supportive.

Waterproof Hiking Pants

I’ve come to learn that a good pair of waterproof hiking pants can make or break any hiking experience. I’m particularly fond of hiking pants with plenty of pockets, which is why my favorite pair, that I’ve worn everywhere from New Hampshire to Iceland, have four of them. In Ireland, I wore them while hiking alongside cliffs and across fields to not only protect me against the elements, but also dirt, mud, and cow and sheep feces (sheeps are quite literally everywhere in Ireland).

While my favorite pair are no longer sold at Amazon, I’ve been eyeing these affordable lightweight ones from Baleaf for quite some time. The Amazon top-sellers come with four zippered pockets, quick-dry fabric, and adjustable cord locks around the ankle cuffs. Available in a variety of colors, their most attractive feature may just be their tall and petite versions — the latter of which is ideal for me as I always struggle to find pants that fit right.

I first purchased these wool socks last year for a trip to Iceland, and they’ve been keeping my feet warm ever since. Comfortable, well-insulated, and not overly thick, they come in handy when I'm home in Boston; I wear them on a daily basis during the winter to protect against the city’s notoriously frigid wind chills. They’re designed with reinforced yarn in the heels and toes for extra durability and warmth, plus arch compression reinforcement to support any kind of movement regardless of your footwear. 

During my Ireland trip, they saved the day when they went up against the wind and rain, as both my rain and hiking boots weren’t insulated. Woven with spandex fibers, they’re slightly flexible and can be stretched to fit any foot size. For reference, I wear a size 5 shoe and purchased the extra small/small size, which fits me perfectly. 

Rugged Backpack

The Fjallraven Kanken backpack has been my go-to travel backpack for the last eight years. And although it’s been around the world with me and has taken quite a beating since I first purchased it in 2016, the backpack is as sturdy and durable as ever. It may lack some of the flashier organizational features that more contemporary backpacks boast, but its selling features are its compact size, which belies a spacious main compartment, and rugged canvas exterior that can handle everything from spills and rain to mud and wind. It can easily fit up to a 15-inch laptop and a 32-ounce water jug, which makes it a great personal travel item or hiking backpack, which is what I used it for during my trip. 

Thermal Long Johns 

Although the weather in Ireland was fairly mild, there were a few days when the blankets of wind buffeting the coast were downright frigid. When I visited the Cliffs of Moher, for example, the damp wind was throwing me around like a rag doll and cutting through my layers like a knife. Thankfully, I had on a pair of these Thermajane thermal long johns, which I first purchased last year for Iceland, that blocked out the worst of the chill. Lined with soft fleece, they’re ultra-comfortable, warm, and stretchy, so they don’t feel suffocating even when buried beneath other layers. They’re available in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns and have been dubbed Amazon’s best-selling women’s thermal underwear set . But, if that doesn’t convince you, then read through a few of its near-8,000 five-star reviews.

Rain Poncho

Rain in Ireland is a constant, if not somewhat irksome, companion. Over the week-long trip, it wasn't uncommon to experience a drizzle with interspersed sunshine, a torrential downpour, and hail within the same day. For this reason, I purchased a rain poncho so that I could quickly whip it out when the skies opened up. As someone just under 5-foot-1 inches, most of the ponchos I purchased prior were way too big and long for me, which is why I gravitated toward this kids-sized Amazon one ( the brand also has adult sizes ).

With a functional hood and a front zippered pocket, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it fit and how durable it was after being battered with rain and wind. I bought the 2XL size, which is meant for ages nine to 13 and can fit anyone up to 5 feet 3 inches — a win for fellow shorties like me. Plus, the poncho can easily fold up into a small carrying sack, so it’s ideal for traveling light. 

Small Camera Bag

As I was constantly on the move, I wanted an inconspicuous camera bag that would protect my device while being small enough to wear on my person. It’s roughly the same size as a small pocketbook, which meant that I could wear it while sightseeing without it getting in my way. It comes with an adjustable strap and two mesh side pockets to hold additional gear or accessories. This compact water-resistant carrying case withstood some pretty harsh weather, but didn’t suffer any external wear and tear aside from a few grass stains and flecks of mud. While not all cameras may fit within the bag depending on their make and model, my Fujifilm XT30 fit perfectly and left just enough room for extra batteries and chargers. 

Fleece Sweater

I’ve always been partial to a cozy sweater, and this Amazon quarter-zip fleece pullover is no exception. Lightweight yet warm, this ultra-comfortable and affordable sweater goes well with jeans or hiking pants, so it’s a versatile item to add to your travel closet. It comes in seven colors, including red, gray, and green, with sizes ranging from S to 2XL, and its slightly baggy fit is both cozy and flattering. It’s an item that I plan on bringing with me on future trips, especially when hiking and camping is involved as it’s good for layering purposes.

USB Car Converter 

This light and compact gadget was a boon during the hours spent in the car as I could charge multiple devices at once in between stops. The USB car converter comes with two USB charging ports and two, 110-volt AC outlets that are capable of charging larger devices such as laptops and tablets. I was able to charge my phone, Amazon Kindle, portable tire inflator, and multiple camera batteries at once while driving, so it’s ideal for road trips, especially if you'll be traveling in a group. Small enough to fit into the palm of my hand, it can easily be packed away in a personal item.
