To clean your Kanken backpack, gently brush off any loose dirt, then hand wash it in lukewarm water with a soft brush and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the fabric and protective coating. Air dry your backpack away from direct sunlight.

Should I Buy It?

    • Small but Mighty!
Color: Foilage Green
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

    • Amazing purchase!
Color: Frost Green
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

    • Great Pack For Short People And Short Torsos
Color: Frost Green
Review Image by Ashley74112 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 little backpack!!
Color: Arctic Green/Spicy Orange
Wish I had gotten this backpack sooner honestly. It is perfect for a backpack for college but also just to take around town or on short day trips! Amazing quality and just really cute. Love the green and orange colors. I love that it is smaller so I don't lug so much around. It easily fits my Macbook Air 13", that actually fits in the rear sleeve where the "seat pad" that is with the backpack goes! Can easily fit a hoodie, a few books, and the front pocket is great for small stuff like pencils, keys, wallet, headphones. Really love this bag and can see it lasting for a long time! Great quality and feel. ... show more

    • Durable and High-Quality, But Shoulder Straps Can Be Uncomfortable
This backpack is real quality—it’s sturdy and long-lasting. The only downsides I noticed are that the color faded slightly over time, and if you carry a heavier load, the straps can strain your shoulders. They start to dig in, making it uncomfortable after a while. Otherwise, it’s definitely worth buying for its durability. If comfort on the shoulders is a top priority, I’d consider a different option, but for lasting quality, this is a solid choice. ... show more

    • We stan Fjallraven!
Color: Arctic Green/Spicy Orange
I love Fjallraven. My favorite personal tidbit about these backpacks is that I had a teacher who disliked me in grad school for no reason, but two weeks after classes started she bought one of these in the same color. LOL. They’re so good not even people who dislike you can be mad about it. Obsessed with the form and build of the backpack, and the fact that I get zero back pain even after hauling law school text books around for three years. Survived an entire trek through Europe too. Durable, stylish, not just for hipsters and Swedish school children, but for your mainstream gal or guy. Even my sixty year old dad, who has terrible back pain said he hasn’t had it when using the one I bought him. 10/10! ... show more

The media could not be loaded. so i kind of understand the hype and my spirit animal is a fox so i felt obligated to support a company that is all for sustainability and also helping the arctic foxes, the backpack feels durable almost military grade like with the water resistant material and love the OD green (forest green) this backpack can hold way more than my previous one im very happy and can’t wait to see how this ages (suppose to be a long lasting backpack ) also forgive me with the one handed iphone video recording while showing what i usually have trouble fitting in my previous everyday bag ... show more
