Klättermusen · Gaut Messenger Bag
A messenger bag that stays put when you walk.
The Gaut rides across the body, held flat against your back by a padded strap fixed at three points. It keeps a 13-inch laptop in its sleeve and your valuables in an inner zipped pocket, and it opens from the side too. The water repellent fabric sees off light rain.
The morning commute, the station, the trail at the end of the day.
The name is thought to come from Gautr, one of Odin's names. From the Edda.

Laptop
A 13-inch, flat against your back.
The sleeve is inside, behind the main zip, with a zipped pocket for valuables and a mesh pocket. The laptop lies flat against you, and nothing shifts about.

Klättermusen was founded in Umeå, Sweden, and has made mountain packs since 1975. Its packs have been made of recycled polyamide since 2009.
Klättermusen repairs zips, seams and buckles. Outside the guarantee the service is paid, on quotation; Eiken passes the request on.
Empty it and let it dry after the outing, hand wash with a mild soap, reproof if needed.
Eiken's take
- Our pick
- A messenger bag that stays put when you walk, thanks to its three-point strap, and that protects a 13-inch laptop.
- Worth knowing
- 8 litres: with the laptop in, there is room for the essentials, not for a fleece. And the sleeve stops at 13 inches.
- Who it's for
- Crossing the city on foot or by public transport, with a small laptop and nothing bouncing about.
Baptiste, Eiken

Questions
What about rain?
Light rain, yes: the fabric is water repellent and coated. No water column according to Klättermusen, and the zip is not waterproof: in real rain, protect the laptop.
Does a 14-inch fit?
The sleeve is made for a 13-inch. For a 14-inch, the Bor 13L and the Baggi 22L have a sleeve that fits.
Care
Klättermusen publishes no care instructions for this model. Its general rule for packs: empty it, let it dry, hand wash with a mild soap, reproof if needed.
