Fjellpulken X-Country (formerly known as Veteran) is the classic all-round model: stable, light, and with large load capacity. Its good width ensures ease of movement and directional stability on both loose snow and prepared skiing tracks. The pulk has a fibreglass reinforced polyethylene hull and polyethylene runners. The roomy nylon cover has draw-string enclosures, and string and antenna attachments. The pulk may be pulled by a skier, snowmobile or a dog-team. If you use a dog-team, you should equip the pulk with brakes.

An excellent pulka with dimensions suitable for week-long hikes for two or a fortnight solo. It has good balance provided you don't load it too high (but that's obvious). Placing the densest elements at the bottom allows you to lower the center of gravity and makes it almost impossible to overturn on steep slopes. Access from the back thanks to the zip which prevents everything from being "unpacked" is a welcome bonus. I recommend using a Touring harness rather than the basic harness which does the job but lacks comfort.

It's a really good-looking bag with plenty of room for a week's trip. I especially like the hidden pocket in front of the box, where you can easily access a fin or something warm, and the back hatch, which is convenient for taking larger daily necessities from inside the box without opening the straps.

Nice and well built pulk, it would benefit from a zipper closure, instead of a "flap-type" system, with one side of the internal bag covering the other side. Especially for transport purpose. But overall good quality. Haven't tested it yet on snow. The pulk would also benefit from optional wheel attachment system, for transportation in train/plane in order to prevent us from drilling in the shell to add custom wheels.
