Sandqvist · GRID Rolltop Backpack 16"
GRID Rolltop 16" backpack: zip under the roll-top, magnetic buckle, 460 g on your back.
The GRID Rolltop Backpack 16" is a 22-litre Sandqvist backpack weighing 460 g, made from water-resistant 100% recycled ripstop nylon. Under the roll-top, a zip keeps the main compartment shut; over it, a magnetic buckle holds the roll in place. In the evening you unroll it for a jacket and the shopping: it makes the room you need.

In the rain
Drizzle in town: it runs straight off the rolled ripstop.
Light rain
Water-resistant fabric
Light rain and road spray run off it; in steady rain, water eventually gets through.
This bag
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.
See the rain coverSteady rain eventually gets through: slip anything that mustn't get wet into a pouch.

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
- 460 g, a zip under the roll-top and a padded laptop pocket: a light backpack that closes twice over.
- Worth knowing
- The pocket takes a laptop up to 23.5 cm wide, and plenty of 16-inch models are a little wider: measure yours.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who wants a light backpack for the city, rolled to suit the day, with the laptop held snug.
Baptiste, Eiken

Is the GRID Rolltop 16" 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.
GRID Rolltop 16" or GRID Rolltop 14"?
