STREAM 2-Way Tote Backpack 16": in hand to the office, on your back going home in the rain.
The STREAM 2-Way Tote Backpack 16" is a 20-litre waterproof Sandqvist bag weighing 500 g: a two-handled tote, with shoulder straps. In the morning, you carry it in your hand into the meeting; in the evening, it goes on your back when it rains. At the top, a YKK Aquaguard zip closes over the 16-inch laptop and the rest of your day.

Proper rain

PU-coated recycled polyester and YKK Aquaguard zips: your things stay dry in steady rain.
This bag
Waterproof in the rain, not made to be submerged.

Sandqvist
Bags for the city and for the forest, designed in Stockholm 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.
Every prototype is carried by bike around Stockholm, on trains and planes and along forest paths before it makes the collection.
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
- A tote and a backpack in one: you choose on every trip, and the waterproof fabric comes along either way.
- Worth knowing
- No pockets on the sides: the water bottle travels in the main compartment.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who goes from the bike or the metro straight into the meeting room, and would rather walk in with a tote in hand.
Baptiste, Eiken
