Straight backs are happy backs. The Kånken was launched in 1978 to spare the backs of schoolchildren. Back problems appeared earlier and shoulder bags were in vogue. The Kånken has many simple and clear functions. Very soon this backpack became something usual in kindergartens and outdoor schools across the country. The idea of using a backpack quickly spread, as did the Kånken. It is still popular and is a great choice for school, going out or cycling to work. The Kånken is made of strong and lightweight F-Vinyl. The large main compartment with its large opening makes it easy to store/take items. Two side pockets and one zip pocket on the front. Top handle, narrow and soft shoulder straps, floor cushion in the back pocket and a logo that also acts as a reflector.

10/10: Would buy again. Like the TARDIS inside!
By far the best backpack I've ever bought. I'll be honest and say that the higher-than-average-price tag put me off a bit as I've bought numerous other high-end backpacks before but none of them lived up to their name or their price, so I was sceptical and hesitant about shelling out such a large sum on a backpack. One year down the line however, I'm very very glad that I took the chance and bought it!Hands down it is the best backpack I have ever owned. For normal use I stuff it full of books and files and walk for miles with it. And when I travel I just stuff it full of whatever is needed and take it everywhere. It's easy enough to take as hand luggage and - if not stuffed to the gills - can be pushed under the seat in front of you.It's waterproof as far as it goes - I've not put it to the test in monsoon conditions, but other than that, it keeps your stuff dry.The straps are a little thin and this could give you pause if you're used to padded straps. However, unless I'm wearing sleeveless tops, I've found that I don't even notice the straps. For those of you who want, Fjallraven does sell larger width straps seperately. I checked them out but found that I don't really need them.The color is nice (I got the black with red straps) but as it's canvas, the black tends to be a lighter shade of black and not midnight black.The canvas at first is very stiff and gave me cause for concern as it looked nothing like the other Fjallraven's I've seen adorning people on the street. This gets rectified with time and use. And if you take away the seat padding/ laptop padding that they've included in the inner pocket, the backpack (after use) looks like all the other ones - crumpled and comfortable. I've kept mine in because it also acts as padding against the books I lug around.For those of you used to multiple pockets in your bags, there is only one outer pouch, and one slim inner pocket to store your laptop in. While this may seem very basic, it actually helps you to begin to manage the clutter. For instance, I now have two pencil case type pouches where I store all the little bits and bobs I don't want getting lost.There are two slim-ish slots on either side of the bag, and while they can't be used for over-sized anythings, I use one for my umbrella, and the other for a not-large water bottle.The stitching on the handles is good and sturdy, and although I worry that my book-weight will eventually tear it out, so far it's held up. Fingers crossed it continues to do so.Also, although the inside compartment looks small, it holds a *lot* of stuff - don't be fooled by its apparent small size!Overall, I would have to say that I love the bag and would definitely buy it again if ever the need arose.

Perfect, very strong
Perfect, very strong, good looking and feels great to use. Only thing is because of the curved sides I can't fit my laptop in which I should be able to, however this isn't a big deal as I rarely take it anywhere.

I can't tell if it's fake or not but the bag is great I love it! , is what my daughter said .She only gave four stars because it had a bit of like white powder or something on it but you can easily just wash it off or just wipe it away . She recommends this bag to whoever wants a kanken

Best Backpack ever, will last a lifetime.
I bought this backpack for my wife and it is the best bag that we have ever owned. They only use high quality materials in it's construction. It is waterproof inside and out, we have spilled things inside and it stayed inside the bag until cleaned... and it was very easy to clean just by wiping it down. It has a nice large pocket that will handle everything you need, and comes with a seat pad in the back of the bag. My wife is rough with her bag and there have been no tears or wear on the bag.Only issue is that the shoulder straps are a bit narrow and will bite into your shoulder if your bag is heavy, but the company sells pads that you can easily add to fix this. They also have many accessories to improve your experience with the bag. Including a camera kit to protect DSLR cameras.
