The backpack in question has garnered high praise for its versatility, sturdiness, and functionality. Users appreciate its compact size, which still allows room for essentials like a 13" laptop, a light jacket, and a water bottle. The bag's ability to stand on its own, double as a tote, and its waterproof characteristics are repeatedly highlighted. It's touted as both a practical choice for daily use and as a stylish accessory for outings.

Pros

  • 🎒 Compact yet spacious enough for essentials
  • 💧 Waterproof and durable material

Should I Buy It?

If you're looking for a lightweight, stylish, and multifunctional backpack that can handle your daily essentials without being too bulky, this is a great option.

    • Small but Mighty!
I got this little backpack to use while attending an exec education program. It is a powerhouse! I fit my laptop, pens, notebook, snacks, water bottle, coffee mug, sweatshirt and small purse plus my phone into this bag daily. The size is perfect for a laptop that is 17” or smaller and you get an amazing array of colors to chose from which I appreciated. The zippers are sturdy and the fabric is a type of canvas, has a thick feel that holds up well and also washes well. Just make sure to remove the foam pad in the inner pocket used to cushion the pack when it’s on your back. I don’t think this pad would survive a washer/dryer cycle without damage. Cool European style and makes a great weekend travel bag to haul all your stuff at the winery or while biking the waterfront. Definitely recommend! ... show more

    • Great Pack For Short People And Short Torsos
Color: Frost Green Solid
Review Image by Ashley74112
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. ... show more

    • Amazing purchase!
Color: Frost Green Solid
I got this backpack for my daughter and we love it! It’s made with super strong material and the color is gorgeous. It’s like a TARDIS—bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. It looks small but is extra roomy. My daughter stuffs the backpack to the gills, as it easily holds stuffed animals, markers, her sketchbook, books and even clothes, without ever looking too full. At first I thought it was an expensive purchase, but I am pleasantly surprised by its quality and durability. Definitely worth every time penny. I completely recommend it. You will not be disappointed! 10/10. ... show more

    • My Favorite Backpack!
Color: Super Grey/Concrete Grey-grey
I've always wanted this bag after seeing so many people have them in the city and I decided to finally get it! It's pretty sturdy and I'm able to fit my MacBook Pro 13", a textbook and some other books and things in it with no problem. I know that the slot in the bag isn't really made for laptops but it fits my MBP fine and I just leave the styrofoam in for some extra padding. I'm thinking of getting a laptop sleeve soon and I'm sure that it would be able to fit inside the slot. The design of the bag is really cute and I love how this bag can be used as a tote and as a backpack. I tend to use it as a backpack but I have carried it as a tote! I've gotten several compliments on my bag and I really like how it's boxy. The two pockets on the side are really nice too. I am able to put a Poland Spring water bottle in one pocket and an umbrella in the other pocket. With other backpacks, my water bottle tended to randomly fall out and I wouldn't even notice until I wanted my water bottle but I have never had this problem with this bag. My water bottle and umbrella stay secure in their pockets. I love the small pouch in the front because I'm able to store some small things in there, as well. I wore this bag when it rained a couple of days ago and I was sharing an umbrella with my friend. My bag got wet and I was really scared for my laptop inside. However, when I opened my bag, my laptop was fine and nothing was wet at all! After a few minutes, my bag wasn't even wet anymore (slightly, like barely noticeable, damp) while my friend's still was. I guess the only problem I have with the bag is that it gets dirty fairly easily (I have random white marks on the bag). Personally, I don't mind too much because I think it gives the bag character but if you want it to remain in perfect condition or something, I guess this bag wouldn't be for you. ... show more
