Carry-on backpack that splits straight down the middle Splitpacks seem to be having a bit of a moment just now, and it's easy to see why. If you haven't come across them before, then the clue's in the name – they open straight down the middle rather like a suitcase, giving you improved access to your gear and letting you segregate your stuff more effectively than a single large compartment. This 45-litre splitpack from Fjällräven gets extra points for being particularly comfortable to carry, with plenty of padding in the base, handles and shoulder straps. It's part of Fjällräven's Vardag line of products, with a fun, retro aesthetic inspired by their old catalogues from way back when. Constructed in tough 500D recycled polyamide, the Vardag Splitpack is built to withstand the scuffs and scars of the baggage handler beatdown – but it might not have to, since at 45 litres it's also carry-on compatible.

Some of Fjällräven’s products are instantly recognisable, including the Kånken backpack – originally designed for Swedish schoolkids in the 1970s – and their famous Greenland jacket, first released in 1968. But they also have a knack for combining vintage looks with modern materials and refinements. Products in their Vardag line, for example, were inspired by a deep dive into the brand’s old catalogues – and feature the brand’s 70s logo instead of the modern one. Quintessentially Scandi, Fjällräven kit is built tough and dependable for people who live, work and play in the outdoors, day-in, day-out. You’re as likely to see their popular Keb trousers on gamekeepers and foresters as you are on hikers and bushcrafters. But this is a brand that does more than just gear. Åke Nordin was all about the shared experience of the outdoors, and since 2005, thousands of people every year have taken part in their Fjällräven Classic treks – which now operate in seven different countries from Sweden to Korea, including the UK. *Our senior buyer says we need to mention Saab here too.
