The Philosophy Behind Gen 4

Every improvement in the Gen 4 collection stems from real feedback from photographers in the field. We've listened to thousands of miles worth of adventures, countless airport security lines, and endless gear shuffling sessions.

The result? Packs that don't just carry your gear – they enhance your entire adventure experience.

Modularity Meets Adventure

The removable strap system represents more than just a feature update. It's a fundamental shift toward truly modular adventure gear. Whether you're a landscape photographer who values agility or an expedition shooter who needs maximum comfort, the Gen 4 collection adapts to your style.

Sustainability Without Compromise

Like all Fjord packs, the Gen 4 collection is built with ECONYL® regenerated nylon made from ocean waste. Because protecting the places we photograph means making gear that doesn't compromise our planet's future.

Complete Your Setup: New Accessories

Alongside the Gen 4 packs, we're launching two game-changing accessories:

Curved Shoulder Straps

A contouring strap with a more low-profile design, this slightly shorter strap is also less wide than the standard version that comes with the backpack. Made from the same premium ECONYL® materials as your Fjord pack, these straps are especially beneficial for female body types and smaller torsos while perfect for anyone wanting enhanced agility and aesthetics. Tool-free installation means you can swap them anytime.

Assistant Grip Pouch

Quick-access perfection. This expandable accessory pouch attaches to any Fjord shoulder strap in seconds, keeping your phone, batteries, snacks, and essentials within easy reach. It can even fit a 500ml water bottle inside. Made from our signature stretch fabric, it expands when needed and stays snug during movement.
