Uppsala — A Waxed Canvas Hiking Backpack Built to Be Lived In
Named after the old Swedish university town, the Uppsala takes its cue from the trapper packs that crossed northern forests a century ago — and brings them into your everyday. Run your thumb across the waxed cotton canvas and you feel it: a dense, dry-waxed weave that catches the light, shrugs off a passing shower without any synthetic membrane, and softens a little more each month you carry it.
The crazy horse full-grain leather on the base and straps starts out firm and matte, then slowly takes on the marks of where you’ve been — a scuff from a train rack here, a darker sheen where your hand always grips. This isn’t a bag you break in once; it’s one of our waxed canvas backpacks that keeps becoming yours, hike after hike, commute after commute.
Built Once, To Be Carried for Years
Pick the Uppsala up by the leather top handle — backed with canvas mesh so it sits solid in the hand — and you can feel where the work went. The padded shoulder straps are riveted into the body with brass at every stress point, the kind of detail that stops a strap pulling loose the day you finally over-pack.
The seams that take the strain — around the zip, along the high-tension lines — are doubled, not because it looks rugged but because that’s exactly where bags give out first. It feels reassuringly solid in the hand: not overbuilt, not fragile, just made to be used and then forgotten about.
Eighteen Litres, Sorted the Way You Actually Pack
Eighteen litres is enough for a full day and no more than you need to carry. The main compartment cinches shut with a drawstring and folds under a waxed canvas flap — quick to open, discreet once closed, and easy to re-wax when the seasons turn wetter.
Inside, a padded sleeve holds a laptop up to 15.6 inches, with slip and zip pockets that keep the small things from migrating to the bottom. Outside, three flap pockets put your bottle, sunglasses and notebook within reach, while a flat zipped pocket hides against your back — the one you’ll be glad of with your phone, wallet or passport on a crowded platform.
Made for the Everyday, Not the Expedition
The Uppsala doesn’t pretend to be a technical pack — no hip belt, no sternum strap, no claim it’ll get you up a glacier. What it does, it does for years: the walk to the office, the spur-of-the-moment trail after work, the Friday train out of town.
It’s a unisex cut, worn most by people who like a slightly oversized, rugged shape, and it carries a 15.6″ laptop as readily as a flask and a wool layer. Look after the canvas and leather now and then, and it’ll keep collecting your stories long after a synthetic pack would have ended up in a drawer.
