Ikea 36L VÄRLDENS travel back pack - Australian review from Ikea's backpack and tote range

[@lpdirv]

Love this thing. Lost one in California out the back of a jeep. Picked up another one. Great for travel, I'm Aircrew and sometimes travel with a folding bike. Can haul my pilot bag on the bike with this backpack. Love that it zips open all the way, its a great bag and doesn't get mistaken for Pax baggage which is a bonus. I could buy more expensive but i really like the functionality as a backup to a roller.

Thanks for the comment lpdirv I'm currently using mine for a 3 day trip to my work as a carry on - I love the volume you can get in it with no fuss 😍

Wow didnt realize we can hide those shoulder straps and make it as a carry bag. Now Im really digging it!

Looks sturdy! Boy's school bag next year... I've been looking for an excuse to go to Ikea 😏

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Worth it - plus a bit of choice for range and price

[@voitkampff]

Nice review! Thanks.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

My pleasure glad you enjoyed it 😊

I like how it is really lightweight. But is it durable? Like can it easily carry 1 week worth of clothes + laptop and a pair of shoes or risk it ripping?

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

I believe it can. My son used it as a gym bag for 6 months before this review to test it 💪

Can this backpack really be used as a real backpack? I can't imagine that with these thin shoulder straps it is really comfortable for the shoulders and the back. I wanted to use the backpack to transport a laptop and clothes. So not as real hand luggage, but on my back every day with a reasonable weight in the backpack. Furthermore, a very nice and informative review.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Hi - depending on weight it's an ok pack as far as weight versus comfort goes - not having a waste strap is the main issue For a short hike or bike trip I've used it on its ok but for a longer hike with camera gear, jacket, water, food and extra stuff it started irritating me after 2 hours

Do you think a tennis racket could fit in the back pouch? and are the zippers stiff? If I put the racquet in a pouch, the zipper should be slightly open. The zipper needs to be a bit stiff to keep the racket from coming out.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Yep it will fit a racket sticking out the top 👍

[@kevinwelsh7490]

1:47 will the back pouch fit a laptop in?

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Yes up to 17inch 👍

[@gerlindebauer1455]

😲 I didn't know Ikea make rucksack

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

They make a whole range. Very good quality 😊

[@grammarnazi2382]

How is it after 4 months? Are you still using it? I'm thinking of getting one for travel or for gym (I think it can fit my gym clothes and shoes).

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Yes it's still in good shape, like new, and it's in use as a gym bag almost every day 👍

[@grammarnazi2382]

Great to hear. I think I'll buy one this weekend. Thanks for the reply!
