The same pack at the office and on the trail.

The Gjalp opens wide on a zip, holds a 16-inch laptop in its sleeve and your jacket in a big diagonal pocket. It takes a hydration bladder, rides close to your back on slim shoulder straps, and weighs 314.5 grams empty.

Hiking · City · Travel

The office in the week, the trail on Saturday, the Sunday evening flight.

The name is thought to come from Gjálp, the giantess who swells the river Vimur before Thor. From the Edda.

Laptop

A 16-inch, slid in flat.

The sleeve is inside, and the zip opens the pack right up: the laptop goes in flat, the clothes stay beside it. The fabric is thin: for a fragile laptop, add a padded case.

Up to 16 inches

Internal sleeve for a 16-inch laptop.

Weight

314.5g

Less than a full can.

Empty, the Gjalp weighs 314.5 grams. The saving comes from a thin fabric, 70 denier at 78 g/m²: this is a pack for a light day, not one to load with heavy gear.

Repair rather than replace

Klättermusen repairs zips, seams and buckles. Outside the guarantee the service is paid, on quotation; Eiken passes the request on.

Care

Empty it and let it dry after the outing, hand wash with a mild soap, reproof if needed.

Eiken's take

Our pick: One pack for the office and the trail: a 16-inch laptop, a hydration bladder and a jacket in 314.5 grams.
Worth knowing: The fabric is thin and there is no hip belt: in proper rain, a rain cover; beyond a few kilos, your shoulders carry it all.
Who it's for: Anyone who carries a big laptop all week and walks on Saturday with the same pack.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

Does it keep the rain out?

No water column according to Klättermusen. The fabric is coated, but it is thin and the zip is not waterproof: in real rain, a rain cover protects the laptop.

Will it fit my back?

Regular fit, for a back of 47 to 52 cm, measured from the bump at the base of the neck to the top of the hips. The back panel is fixed.

Does it go in the cabin?

As cabin baggage (55 × 40 × 20 cm), yes: it is soft and flat. Under the seat on budget airlines (40 × 30 × 20 cm), no guarantee.

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.
