Sometimes you need a bag that works for everything without looking like it's trying too hard. The Gjalp’s full-access zipper means you're not digging through your stuff to reach what's at the bottom, the laptop sleeve fits 15" screens, and there's a big front pocket for layers or lunch. The shoulder straps are ergonomic rather than just padded, it's prepared for trekking poles when you need them, and there's hydration system compatibility for longer days. Made from Retina Ultra Econyl – 50% post and 50% pre-consumer recycled polyamide with a 1,500mm water column – with Hardur reinforcement on the bottom because that's where bags actually wear out. It’s the kind of pack that transitions seamlessly from train commutes to weekend walks without looking out of place in either situation.

The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks.
It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit.
These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets.
Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand.
