Db Journey Bags

Db Journey Bags — The Full Collection at Eiken

Db (formerly Douchebags) started in Oslo in 2009, co-founded by professional freeskier Jon Olsson and designer Truls Brataas. The brief was practical: build a ski bag that didn't look like a ski bag, and a backpack that could move from a chairlift to a meeting without changing register. Since the rebrand from Douchebags to Db in 2019, the Norwegian studio has shipped one of the most coherent bag ranges in Scandinavia — backpacks, duffels, slings and totes built around a clean, restrained design language and tested in the conditions they're designed for.

Db builds with recycled materials across the range — 900D recycled polyester shells on the Hugger and Roamer lines — and backs every product with the Worry-Free Promise: a lifetime guarantee that covers material and workmanship defects for as long as you own the bag. Free repairs where possible, replacement where it's not.

At Eiken we carry the complete Db range, from the entry-level Essential series to the premium Hugger backpacks and Ramverk Pro sling. Whether you need a pack for the daily commute, a duffel for weekend travel or a compact sling for day trips, there's a Db bag built for it.

The Hugger Series — Db's Flagship Backpack

The Hugger is the pack that made Db famous. Its defining feature is the clamshell opening — the back panel unfolds completely flat, giving you full access to the interior without rummaging. The padded laptop sleeve sits against your back for weight balance, there's a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket, and the exterior profile stays clean and compact regardless of how full it is. The Hugger 25L is the bestseller; the Hugger 30L fits most cabin overhead bins and is the smart choice if you travel regularly.

For Travel and Weekend Trips

The Roamer Duffel range is Db at its most practical. The Roamer Duffel 40L fits in most aircraft overhead compartments and converts between a duffel and a backpack, which is genuinely useful when you're navigating airports alone. For ski weeks or longer hauls, the Roamer Pro Split Duffel 70L adds a separate base compartment — ideal for keeping ski boots or wet gear away from clean clothes.

Compact Carry — Slings and Totes

The Ramverk Pro Sling 24L is one of the more unusual products in the range — a 24-litre sling bag is large enough to carry a laptop and a change of clothes, which makes it genuinely useful for day-trip travel where a full backpack feels excessive. The Essential Tote 16L at €41 is the entry point — unstructured, lightweight, and good for exactly what totes are good for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Db Journey the same as Douchebags? Yes — Douchebags rebranded as Db in 2019. The product design, quality and warranty are identical; only the name changed.

Are Db bags waterproof? Db bags use DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment on the exterior fabric, which handles light rain and splashes well. They are not fully waterproof — in heavy sustained rain, moisture will eventually penetrate the zippers. The Hugger range does not come with a rain cover.

What warranty does Db offer? Db backs every product with the Worry-Free Promise — a lifetime guarantee covering material and workmanship defects for the life of the product. Db repairs where possible, replaces where it isn't.
