## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Pack For Short People And Short Torsos
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 1, 2025*

First, some background: I purchased my first Kanken on a trip to Canada in 2015. At first I was skeptical of the narrow unpadded straps, but the sales person told me she had thought that as well and that they work better than one might think. Ten years and several more Kankens later, I can say that she was right! The Kanken Original 16L is a fantastic choice for me. I recommend it for anyone who is short both in overall height and in the torso.I am 5’2, narrow shouldered and with a short torso. It is hard to find packs that carry a reasonable load and do not bother my neck or lower back. I find the Kanken capacity ideal for daily, casual use as well as a carry-on for flights. The open ended design means the bag can be packed and organized for a variety of purposes. It makes a fantastic camera bag, grocery bag and day pack for moderate excursions.I find the sternum straps that Fjallraven sells make the Kanken even more functional. I have a few in different colors and swap them out to change the look of the bag.I finally decided to leave a review because I am SO TIRED of reviews that fault the two side pockets for not fitting water bottles. A little research of the product, found on their website, makes clear that this bag was created in 1978. I for one am old enough to recall the 70s. No one, and I do mean no one, was carrying water, much less in personal bottles, in 1978. You were lucky to have soda or an old canteen that was your grandfather’s in the car on long trips. We used water fountains at school and moms who liked to splurge kept tiny paper cups by the sink.Doubtless that makes me sound old, but I hate seeing such a fantastic product maligned because some people do not understand the context in which it was created.I also admit that the straps will not feel good for some people. It’s important to remember with backpacks that they are not a one size fits all item. Everybody’s shoulders and necks are different. For example, one of my daughters loves the design of the Kanken, but it does not suit her neck and shoulders. My son, meanwhile, loves carrying one.The Original 16L Kanken is a high quality product. Its versatility and function have gotten me all around town and even around the world more than once. I have yet to wear one out and I look forward to many more years of use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 22, 2026*

Good quality, enough space and has room for my iPad

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Long Lasting Backpack
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 10, 2026*

This backpack will last years. One bag will last them all through elementary and middle school. This black one is a perfect color for our tween. It is built to last and has a timeless classic style. It’s the perfect size for everyday school or as a carry on for vacations. There are not a lot of pockets, but it is fine for a minimalist style. Highly recommend!
