Baklapp

Baklapp is a Swedish noun that translates roughly as "back flap." In Swedish linguistic terms, it is a compound of bak meaning "back" and lapp meaning "flap" or "patch." The term is used to describe a flap or extended section situated on the rear side of an object, serving protective, covering, or functional purposes depending on context.

Common uses include apparel, where a baklapp may be a rear flap on a coat or outer garment used for extra coverage or warmth; on bags and luggage, it refers to a rear closure or pocket flapped cover; and in gear and protective equipment, a baklapp can function as a rear panel or shield. In some contexts, the term appears in architectural or vehicle design to denote a hinged back cover or access flap. The exact meaning is context dependent and not universally fixed.

Design variations may feature buttons, snaps, zippers, or Velcro to secure the baklapp, and materials range from leather and fabric in clothing to heavy-duty textiles in gear and luggage. The term is primarily used in Swedish-language product descriptions and technical manuals; outside of Sweden, it may be described using more general terms such as "rear flap" or "back panel."
