Fjall­raven lit­er­al­ly invent­ed the framed back­pack in 1960. Built to with­stand the rugged envi­ron­ment of north­ern Swe­den, all of their packs are rein­forced for excep­tion­al dura­bil­i­ty. The Men’s Abisko 55 is no excep­tion. The 210D HD Rip­stop polyamide pro­tects the sup­port­ed base of the pack for when you put it down on the side of the trail, and pre­vents absorp­tion through the base when you put it down in mud or snow.

This is a pack built for inclement weath­er. Large, expand­able pock­ets with over­sized zip­pers make this a great pack to use while wear­ing gloves in the win­ter months. The 55-liter car­ry­ing capac­i­ty is roomy enough for week­end trips into snow-cov­ered moun­tains, but the slen­der sil­hou­ette and sim­pli­fied design make this pack an all-around win­ner dur­ing any month of the year.
