Core Saruk Zip 10 L Backpack

Backpacks can be hand washed with lukewarm water and a little hand soap or mild soap solution.

If re-proofing is required, we recommend a fluorocarbon-free waterproofing product such asToko Eco Proof. This makes the backback better at repelling dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place.

Storage in cold garages or storerooms carries an increased risk of mold, especially in fall/winter/spring. Our backpack guide has more tips.

Our backpacks are made of materials that are either waterproof or water-repellent, are very robust and can withstand a little rain. However, as the seams are not taped, we recommend that you use a rain cover for your backpack when it rains.

Only our largest backpacks come with a rain cover: the Gnaur (60L, 75L, 90L), Saruk Pro (60L, 75L, 90L) and Saruk Pro Expedition 110+10L. You can purchase a suitable rain cover for the rest of our trekking backpacks separately.

Some people like to take as little as possible, others want to bring a little extra luxury along. The packing volume you need will depend on who you are, where you are going to hike (and when you are going to go), but there are some general guidelines. In winter, a little extra space is needed for warm clothes.

• 10–30L Day trips without a tent
• 30–50L Day hike with overnight stay in a cabin or small tent
• 60–75L Multi-day trekking with tent, food, change of clothes, kitchen equipment
• 90L+ Long hikes or expeditions where you need to be self-sufficient for more than a week.

Adjusting your backpack correctly is incredibly important. An incorrectly adjusted, heavy, rucksack easily leads to discomfort, incorrect stresses and pressure points. Get it set up right, so you can concentrate on your trip instead!

We have a good guide here: HOW TO ADJUST YOUR BACKPACK

We have a good size guide here: Backpack size guide

In addition to the back length mentioned in the size guide, your body shape may influence the choice – if it is narrow, an RS can often sit better than an RL, and if you are heavily built, an RL will often sit better.

Pack heavy objects closest to your spine. Aim to center the weight for the best balance. Pack what you use frequently or want to access quickly at the top or in the lid, and pack what you rarely use at the bottom.

Packing items in waterproof bags can save you a lot of trouble, both in the rain and when you are trying to find something. The most important tip is to practice packing, and the best way to do this is to spend a lot of time outdoors. That way you learn what works and what doesn’t, what you need and don’t need.

At Lundhags, we prefer to talk about carrying comfort rather than a specific maximum weight for our backpacks. The more stable the carrier system, the heavier the load you can carry without it becoming uncomfortable.

Carry Comfort 4: You can carry the heaviest weight with our Saruk Pro backpacks. If you are comfortable carrying 20–30 kg, the Saruk Pro can handle this without any problems.

Carry Comfort 3 is provided by the Fulu Pro. This has a stable carrier system that you can also carry heavy loads with.

Carry Comfort 2: The Padje Light is a lighter backpack, but it still has a stable carrying system. Under 20 kg is no problem for the Padje Light, as long as you are comfortable with the weight.

Carry Comfort 1: The Fulu Core and Tived Light are the best of our backpacks for carrying the least weight while maintaining comfort – find your favourite!
