Sandqvist · STREAM Zipper Backpack 16"

STREAM Zipper Backpack 16": no roll-top, the 16-inch comes out the top with one zip.

The STREAM Zipper Backpack 16" is a 23-litre waterproof Sandqvist backpack in PU-coated recycled polyester, closed with YKK Aquaguard zips instead of a roll-top. When you get to the office in the rain, you open the laptop compartment from the top without touching anything else. In the evening, the big front pocket opens from top to bottom: headphones and keys are right there in front of you.

Laptop

The 16-inch has its own pocket, which opens from the top.

The padded 32 × 50 cm laptop compartment has its own zip at the top of the pack, against your back. You take the 16-inch out without opening the main compartment or the front pocket.

What fits inside

23L

23 litres: a day at the office, and trainers for the evening.

The main compartment opens from the top, with a two-way zip; inside, a zipped pocket keeps the small things. On the front, the big pocket opens from top to bottom, and a 15 cm gusset holds its contents in when it's open. At the sides, two open pockets take a water bottle.

  • A 16-inch laptop, in its padded compartment
  • A pair of trainers and a water bottle, in the main compartment
  • Headphones and keys, in the big front pocket

To scale

50 cm tall and 32 wide: the 16-inch stands upright inside.

Only 15 cm deep: on your back, it stays close to your body.

In the rain

A downpour on the commute: the fabric and the waterproof zips keep it out.

Light 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, front pocket included: your things stay dry in steady rain.

This bag

Waterproof in the rain, not made to be submerged.

On the edge of a forest, a man wearing a green roll-top Sandqvist backpack

Sandqvist

Bags for the city and for the forest, designed in Stockholm since 2004.

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.

Carried before it's sold

Every prototype is carried by bike around Stockholm, on trains and planes and along forest paths before it makes the collection.

2-year guarantee

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
The STREAM waterproof fabric without a roll-top: you open it with a zip, and the laptop has its own access, from the top.
Worth knowing
No chest strap included: you can add one, worth it if you cycle to work.
Who it's for
Anyone who's in and out of their bag all day and doesn't want to unroll a top every time, even in the rain.

Baptiste, Eiken

Questions

What are the dimensions and weight of the STREAM Zipper Backpack 16"?

50 × 32 × 15 cm (height, width, depth) and 720 g empty, for 23 litres. The laptop compartment measures 32 × 50 cm.

Is the STREAM Zipper 16" waterproof?

Yes, it's waterproof: with PU-coated recycled polyester and YKK Aquaguard waterproof zips, it keeps your things dry in the rain. It's made for rain, not for being submerged.

STREAM Zipper 16" or STREAM Rolltop L?

The Zipper opens with a zip, no roll-top: 23 litres, 720 g, and the laptop comes out the top without opening anything else. The Rolltop L, 34 litres for 800 g, closes with a roll-top and has a chest strap; to take the laptop out, you have to unroll the top. Both are waterproof and take a 16-inch.

Can I take the STREAM Zipper 16" in the cabin?

As a cabin bag, its 50 × 32 × 15 cm fits the 55 × 40 × 20 cm (Ryanair) and 55 × 35 × 25 cm (Air France) limits. Under the seat, no: its 50 cm height is over the free small bag (40 × 30 × 20 cm on Ryanair, 45 × 36 × 20 cm on easyJet). Size limits checked in October 2026: check with your airline.
