Travel rucksacks combine the carrying comfort of a rucksack with the packability of a bag. They are ideal for backpacking, city breaks and journeys where you switch between different forms of transport and carrying on foot.
At Jobb og Fritid you will find travel rucksacks.
For cabin baggage: 35–45 litres to fit airlines' dimensions. For longer trips: 60–70 litres with good organisation. For light travel: hybrid models with a concealed back system. Make sure the rucksack has lockable zips for security and carrying handles on all sides for flexible carrying.
A good rucksack should sit comfortably on your hips – the hip belt should take most of the weight, not the shoulder straps. Make sure the back system suits your torso length and that the rucksack offers good ventilation against your back. We are happy to help you find the right size and fit in store.
At Jobb og Fritid we have many years of experience with equipment suited to conditions in northern Norway. We give you honest advice based on your activity and your needs – not simply whatever is most expensive or most fashionable. Come and visit one of our shops in Tromsø to try items on and speak with our knowledgeable staff.
A travel rucksack typically opens up fully like a suitcase for easy packing, features robust materials and good organisation, and can often be carried both on your back and by hand.
A smaller model is fine for weekend trips, while longer journeys call for greater volume. Also check that the size falls within airlines' cabin baggage dimensions if you want to avoid checking it in.
Brands include Osprey, Patagonia, Norrøna and Exped.
