Fjallraven Singi Stubben Hiking Backpack - 27L

Cool bag. Comfy seat.

This backpack is the perfect compromise for my uses. -Good capacity for my daily needs (grocery shopping, bringing my lunch to work while also being able to bring anything else). -Very comfortable, even when fully loaded. Forty pounds is always forty pounds, but even people that think I’m crazy for walking my groceries home with it admit that it carries well. -I don’t use it as a seat all that often, but it is incredibly handy for that when you might want to. -Looks great and feels high-quality, like most Fjallraven stuff. I can imagine hiking and traveling with it, and intend to do so, but it’s also great day-to-day.

For whatever reason I was convinced that I absolutely needed to have a backpack that doubles as a stool to sit on. I just so happened to have this wild idea at a time Amazon has this pack available for regular retail price, and not a dollar more, so I ordered it. I've watched quite a few videos about it and nobody really mentions the frame a whole lot, which is strange since it's a component of a core feature of this backpack. The frame is made up of aluminum square stock and looks to be two pieces, using press-in buttons we've all seen in telescoping pop-up tents, furniture, and the like. The frame is secured to the top of the pack using a pretty generous wrap of velcro around either side and a smaller "tab" on the back side. That top portion of the frame can be disconnected from the bottom portion of the frame, enabling the whole frame to be removed from the bag to allow you to wash out the pack incase a bear pukes in your backpack, or some other awful mess happens and you have no choice but to throw the thing in the wash (even though they don't suggest machine washing any of their non-clothing items, Fjallraven). I have NOT removed the frame from my pack because I like that it fits nice and snugly and I'm not sure if I'd be able to get everything wrapped around each of the sides when I go to put it back together; I'll wait till I have a damn good reason before I go and take it apart. The reason I mention the frame, and the fact that nobody else mentions it, is because it kinda creaks. If you open the lid and grab the frame, there's at least a few degrees of movement from the upper and lower portions of the frame, where they connect, and it looks like all the weight of the user is put on the aluminum push-button that locks the two pieces together. To the best of my half-hearted attempts at measuring it, it does appear the seat is level when weight is applied, for now; it does not appear to slope in a way that would make the user feel like they're about to slide off the seat. If you get a chance, go stare at it in the store and you'll see what I mean. I did go to a local brick-n-mortar Fjallraven store out of curiosity after receiving this pack, and while they didn't have one I could look at, the floor attendant gave me MANY warnings about how NOBODY online sells genuine Fjallraven, I got a counterfeit, there is no warranty, etc. I don't think I'll go back. Fairly sure the unit received is genuine. The toggle system to attach sacks to the outsides of the pack - very cool but takes a little getting used to. The loops are sewn into strips of nylon and are, or seem to be, extremely robust so you do not need to be ginger-careful when forcing a toggle through a loop to attach an expansion pack. Attaching one with cold fingers would be painful and frustrating. Not the best system but flexible and seemingly very good retention given the size of the fasteners. While G-1000 is pretty tough, it's good that they used dirty ol' nylon on the bottom so when you plop this thing down in a bog, on a gravel trail, in the snow, on the ice, or wherever, there's something tougher than cotton and polyester to keep you from wearing a hole through the bottom over time. I don't know how much this pack is supposed to hold. They say it's 27L of volume but I don't know how much weight it is really meant to hold. I take walks with total weight (including pack itself) 20 Lbs and it's OK. Given its volume it could probably hold nearly 40 Lbs but I don't think this pack can comfortably be carried for any distance when loaded up that much. The pockets on the front, while they appear small, hold a pretty good bit of stuff and are shaped well to accommodate and swallow up large-ish items with ease. I can easily fit a pair of mid-sized binoculars and a bunch of other odd-and-ends in the lower front pouch. Finally, I'm about 6' 2". When seated with shoes, my knees are at exactly a 90% angle. This is a very ideal seating height for me. However due to the warble in the two-piece construction of the frame, I tend to shove my toocus towards the back so I'm minimizing strain to the frame, hopefully maximizing the usable life of my backpack seat-stool-chair-thing.

I spend a lot of time in the forest on our property and this pack serves two needs. 1) it comfortably allows me to bring out all the necessities and luxury items I need while doing tree and other landscaping work. 2) it gives me an opportunity to comfortably rest somewhere and take in the beauty of nature. I also have an aging back and the position and support of the seat itself is very comfortable. I honestly find myself looking for little adventures to take so I can use the pack. I added the two side pockets which only makes it better!

Recently revived this pack. Haven’t used it yet but am so excited to use it. Such fantastic quality and construction. The built in seat “feature” is awesome. I plan on carrying this pack in Disney to help with the standing time in lines. Also plan on using this on hikes and outdoor adventures. Based on the quality of the construction I don’t mind the price.

This is a very well made backpack I would very much recommend this to anyone who wants a very well made camping bag

Have used this back pack for a long while now, every single day. Mine purchased directly through company site not on Amazon. Pros: 1.Bag has internal frame that allows it to double as a temporary stool. 2. Top cover opens up and has hidden seat cover. 3. Does not slouch over like other backpacks due to internal frame. 4. Has top loading and front zipper access. 5. Relatively compact but allows expansion pouches. 6. Expansion pouches can be purchased separately to expand backpack capacity on the sides. One tall and one shorter expansion depending on individual needs. Cons: 1. Shoulder straps. Big annoyance. They are not ergonomically curved and are straight. Tends to slide off your shoulders depending on your physique. When bag has good amount of weight loaded inside the straps tends to take a beating when you swing it on your shoulders. This is probably true for all backpacks but it feels like each time I put the backpack on, one strap is strained and stretched as one swings it over one shoulder then the other. I wish the strap joint could be more robust and ergonomic. 2. Bottom of backpack needs to be reinforced. This backpack is designed as stool as they say Stubben means stub or something. The fabric on the bottom feels a bit thin that wear and tear might mean it will be the first part to rip or develop holes. Mine has been modified with a plastic sheet on bottom surface to minimize the fabric wear and tear due to constant friction. If there was a way to make the bottom so you can mount a replaceable material to extend the life of the fabric material then that would be Amazing. 3. The Stubben only comes in one color. Wish they had a regular black version. 4. Internal frame does cut into your total storage space a bit. I love this backpack. It is one of a kind for the design of the internal frame. Other backpacks with frames are all external and bulky designed for hiking or backpacking. This one is far more low profile and you wouldn't even know there's a built frame and it can double as a seat. I wish they could make another version that's slightly wider length and depth size. Height of the backpack is just about right. My biggest DISLIKE, again, is the straps. I use this daily, and it's not comfortable to mount on to your back when it's loaded with weight plus the straight straps has tendency to slide off shoulders. You can use sternum strap but still doesn't and it more ergonomic or increase comfort. Last minor wish is replaceable straps/parts then mine feels like they're stretching longer and longer over time due to constant use. There are more DIY hacks and mods you can do with this bag to customize it for your personal needs but would like to see Fjallraven spend more time and creativity in coming up with more accessories or add-ons for this product. Expand this product line.

Ottimo zaino per uscite di uno o pochi giorni (in estate) unendovi in caso le tasche esterne optional. La seduta è solida ed il è il punto di forza di questo zaino, altrimenti si trova anche di meglio, ma avere a portata di mano un vero sgabello in certe situazioni e ambienti è davvero comodo. La marca è una garanzia in questo settore e non mi aspettavo di meno anche se qualche dettaglio potrebbe essere forse rivisto e migliorato. Consegna puntuale, anzi in anticipo!

We were looking for a good all-round pack and watched so many reviews of the previous version of this particular pack before buying. Sad to see some of the design of the original gone, but happy that this lives up to the usual Fjallraven standards. It's roomy (more than you think), absolutely quality material (strong loops and latches and very good material) and still includes the built-in seat. Which is phenomenal. You will never know you needed a seat built into your pack until you do - and there have been several times (rest, photography, injury even) when being able to sit during a walk has helped so much. This is a versatile pack - and if you purchase the extra side pockets, the capacity can be increased really well. Highly recommend this.

Wszystko, warty plecak zakupu. Najlepszy jaki do tej pory kupiłem a mam ich sporą kolekcję.

座れるし、座ったまま中身を取れるし、頑丈です。まぁ、しいて言えばかさばる。

Echt spitze.
