Singi Stubben 27L Backpack

Great bag - still in perfect order after 8 years

I’ve used this bag a couple of times a week for 8 years and it is still going strong. No particular signs of wear, and works just as well for shopping , hiking , or as a seat at a kids football match.

Great hunting pack.

Used this on a hunt in NL, Canada mid October 24. Worked wonderfully as a seat for my rifle/tripod setup. It was easy to attach my rifle to the backpack with Singi gear holder when walking. Added a few additional Greenland wax applications and my gear stayed completely dry during intermittent rain over a week period.

Perfect airport companion!

This is a great carry-on! The 2 pockets are enough to hold items that require quick access and the main compartment, when used with bags for items has great access due to the frame. The best part is being able to use it as a stool to sit anywhere in the airport.

Brilliant!...

This back pack is a hidden gem. You can spec it out with creative use of side packs to give you additional capacity. It's lighter than you think which is a pleasant suprise. The absolute best bit though is you can just plonk it down anywhere and sit on it. It might not be the natural choice for some but if you can see one or try it out in a store you'll fall in love with it and wonder why more brands don't see how brilliant this idea is. It was developed, I believe, for hunters and ice fishermen, people who have long periods of waiting. Transfer the idea though of having a very capable and adaptable back pack that doubles up as a stool. If you're a wildlife or landscape photographer you've now got a totally protective back pack system.. that you can sit on! I fish, roving rivers, lots of quiet time in hidden spots searching for Chub and Barbel.. I'm also a commercial photographer taking expensive gear onto packed commuter trains.. I'm never without a seat and never vulnerable to losing out to an opportunistic thief. I can't say enough about this bag.. tough as boots..Fjallraven have absolutely nailed it.

Love the Varmland ruck.

Having served in the military, I've spent time under a rucksack. Since then I've fallen in love with the freedom a rucksack offers and am always looking for the best out there. With the Varmland ruck, I've found it.

Fantastic pack!

I watched a coworker use this bag regularly for more than two years before buying my own; I was foolish to wait so long. This thing is awesome! It’s heavy for its capacity, but the stool feature is beyond awesome.

Love it

I love this pack. As far as utility goes, it is not a “one pack for everything”. There is no waist belt, which I thought would bother me, but hasn’t bothered me as much as I thought it would. The seat is phenomenal. I thought it would be gimmicky but I use it a ton. I have even used it multiple times as an extra seat at the kitchen table, and I keep a small folding cutting board in the pack that fits perfectly on the seat. The loops on the sides are very handy for hanging a roll of flagging, or other things needing quick access. I use a small accessory pocket on one side for my small binoculars (Nikon monarchs) and the large accessory pocket for a large hydro flask. A 10’ by 10’ DD tarp also fits well in the large accessory pocket, and a hatchet will slide nicely between the pocket and the pack. The front pocket is only big enough for some smaller items. While sitting on the pack, you can access the main compartment, pulling out a lunch bag or sweater. The pack doesn’t hold a lot, which is why the waist belt isn’t really much of an issue. Not having a waist belt makes carrying a knife and my work radio on my belt easier, anyways. It is a good pack for a day at work in the forest. I have everything I need to glass trees, flag trees, tag trees, and cut into trees/bark to look for cause of death, all strapped to the outside of the pack. Inside the pack is my lunch bag, first aid kit, p cord, extra water bottle, warm layer and rain jacket, plus some smaller items like medication, knife, etc. I use a different pack with a ventilated back for long hikes or working in the heat. The seat is perfect for when the crew circles up to go over daily work plans or otherwise meet up. The access from the front of the pack is great, so much better than top loading packs. Whenever I have to work or walk on the road, I pull out the high-vis (blaze orange) rain cover. The pack also excels as a hunting pack. A set of shooting sticks can be slid between the large accessory pocket and pack and secured using the side loops. Being able to sit anywhere is awesome. When dove hunting, you can go from sitting to standing very quickly. I tried attaching the small pocket low and carrying a rifle or shotgun that way but it only worked for me for shorter barreled guns. That’s ok, though. Pros: great work pack Great small hunting pack/seat Side loops are perfect for attaching flagging or tools Seat is super comfortable and useful Front access is great for keeping organized Front access is accessible while sitting Great, strong fabric that doesn’t easily stain Cons: Price is pretty ridiculous after adding side pockets Cannot use comfortably in hot weather

Awesome Pack

This is brilliant design. Really helps to have a seat when my back seizes up. A pack this small needs no hip belt, I prefer the lack of waistline clutter. If you want a hip belt look at the Singi 28. Highly recommended.

Almost Perfect

I like the redesign with the curved zipper accessing the interior of the pack. I do, however, the leather straps on the model that I own. I have to say I've spent countless hours trying to figure out how to get a waist belt attached to this bag. I spend a great deal of time hunting/trekking up and down mountains with this pack. A full day makes it dreadful on the neck and shoulders. Would love to carry the load on my waist. Any suggestions? Please let me know.......

Needs Modifications

This stool/pack is an awesome approach, however it needs the waist belt/pockets of the Singi 28 and the adjustable torso features from the Singi 48 to be perfect. Hangs too low on my back.
