This backpack is absolutely amazing the new style same amazing storage rugged sturdy it’s amazing I have loads of backpacks the only ones I use now are croga love it
I recently ordered a backpack from Cróga Lifestyle in Ireland — the Vikingo 45L in black. I’d been looking for something for everyday use: sturdy enough for real life, but not overbuilt; something that didn’t scream for attention, yet quietly carried purpose.
What arrived was more than just a backpack.
It’s beautifully made — solid stitching, thoughtful compartments, water-resistant and rugged without being heavy. You can tell this wasn’t designed in a boardroom. It was shaped by experience. By someone who knows what it means to carry weight with balance.
And then came the surprises. Morale patches tucked inside. A carabiner. A shirt with the words “Your ego is not your amigo” — a phrase that echoes humility and shows grace. All from the owner, Paul, who clearly puts heart into what he sends out into the world.
It's rare these days to find a product — and a company — that feels this real. Grounded. Human.
My review may just be one experience, but take care in reading the others, all with similar experiences of this company going above and beyond.
If you’re looking for something dependable, personal, and built with meaning — I highly recommend Cróga Lifestyle. This backpack isn’t just something I carry; it’s something that reminds me why I carry it; to go bravely.
Go raibh maith agat, Paul.
Absolutely fantastic quality. Its spend a few weeks now in and out of vans cos and trucks without a sign of it having been used yet. Super tough lasting material. Every detail, the zips, tags, locks. Its everything you could want and more. Absolutely recommend to truckers, hikers, travelers and holiday makers. Even teenagers carrying books cam do it comfortably with the secure padding and fastener straps.
I absolutely love this backpack the colour design the amount of storage amazing and built to last highly recommend
This bag is brilliant and the service from these guy’s was second to none will definitely use them again
Extremely well made using high quality materials. Every section feels robust and hard wearing
I got a bag for my brother who was travelling to the US. The bag wasn’t going to arrive in time and the guys at Croga went out of there way to make sure he had the bag before he went away. He was delighted with it and it had more than enough space to hold all of his essentials plus more. I’ve already recommended them to everyone to anyone who’ll listen!
I love the quality of the T-Shirt, I love that the packaging is biodegradable! What a great product
What can I say the photos don’t do justice these backpacks are amazing quality the storage and all the different pockets inside and back compartment I have the 45 litre camo and the 25 litre red and black camo if you’re looking for a sturdy reliable pack for adventures travelling cycling or the gym look no further try Croga you won’t be disappointed
This bag is top quality, as was the service. The best backpack I have, if its the gym, day trip or a hike, it is great for all.

Absolutely the best backpack I’ve ever bought and for what you get amazing value so much space 2 drink holders loads of room to hang extras material is amazing best by far and I’ve got a lot of brands love it
Got this lovely black back pack a couple of months ago for the gym and travel and have to say one of the best purchases I have gotten. Carry’s all your need for the gym and travel even better, instead of having a 10kg suitcase for travel I used this back pack and it held everything I needed and still had room !
The bag is quality and so was the service.
A top class Irish company so if you are in the market you need look no further.
whether just for the morning gym run or packed for a long weekend this bag does it all - rugged and stylish.
