Sandqvist · ICON Rolltop Backpack 14"
ICON Rolltop 14" backpack: 12 cm deep, the laptop out the back, nothing to unroll.
The ICON Rolltop Backpack 14" is a roll-top Sandqvist backpack: 23 litres, 560 g, water-resistant recycled polyester and leather details. At 12 cm deep, it stays flat against your back in a packed carriage. The laptop has its own zipped pocket at the back: you take it out from the side and the top stays rolled.

Flat on the metro, top unrolled on Saturday.
Laptop
A 14-inch laptop backpack: the back pocket opens without touching the roll-top.
The laptop pocket is on the outside, at the back of the pack, closed with a YKK zip. It takes a laptop up to 14 inches: 26 × 38 cm, so check yours against that. The top stays rolled over the main compartment while you take the laptop out.

What fits inside
23L
23 litres in 12 cm of depth: the whole day, with no bulge on your back.
The roll-top covers a zip; roll it tight when the pack is light, unroll it when you put more in. Inside, a zipped mesh pocket holds the small things. Outside, a zipped front pocket, two open pockets for a water bottle or sunglasses, and side straps for a jacket or a sit mat.

In the rain

Water-resistant fabric
Light rain and road spray run off it; in steady rain, water eventually gets through.

Proper rain
Waterproof fabric
PU-coated recycled polyester and YKK Aquaguard zips: your things stay dry in steady rain.
Heavy downpour: add the cover.
The Sandqvist rain cover, sold separately, goes over the whole backpack and packs into its own pocket: get it out before the downpour.

Sandqvist
Bags for the city and for the forest, designed in Stockholm since 2004.
Three childhood friends, Anton, Daniel and Sebastian, founded Sandqvist in Stockholm: they split their time between the city and the forest and couldn't find a bag made for both.
Every prototype is carried by bike around Stockholm, on trains and planes and along forest paths before it makes the collection.
Sandqvist guarantees its bags for two years against manufacturing defects: zips, buckles, seams. For a bag bought from Eiken, the claim goes through us.
Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- 560 g, 12 cm deep and the laptop kept separate at the back: a roll-top you forget you're wearing, from the platform to your desk.
- Worth knowing
- A 26 × 38 cm pocket: a 14-inch, no bigger. For a 16-inch, the ICON 16" has a 28 × 45 cm pocket.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who works on a 14-inch and wants a backpack that stays flat, from the Monday commute to the Sunday walk.
Baptiste, Eiken

Questions
What are the dimensions and weight of the ICON Rolltop 14-inch?
60 × 26 × 12 cm (height, width, depth) and 560 g empty, for 23 litres. The laptop pocket measures 26 × 38 cm.
Is the ICON 14" waterproof?
No, it's water-resistant: the fabric copes with light rain and everyday splashes. In steady rain, water eventually gets through; a pouch for anything that mustn't get wet is all you need.
Is this the Ilon?
Yes: the ICON Rolltop Backpack 14" is the Ilon, reworked and renamed. Sandqvist also calls it the ICON Rolltop Backpack M.
Does the ICON 14-inch fit in the cabin on easyJet, Ryanair or Air France?
As a cabin bag, its 60 cm height is 5 cm over the 55 cm limits (Ryanair, Air France) and 4 cm over easyJet's large cabin bag (56 cm); width and depth are fine. When the pack is lightly loaded, the top rolls down further: measure it before you fly. Size limits checked in October 2026: check with your airline.
Is there any leather?
Yes: the tab on the roll-top strap and the details are leather, from tanneries rated Gold or Silver by the Leather Working Group. A little leather balm now and then keeps them supple.
