Created in 1978 to relieve the backs of Swedish children, it was quickly adopted by schools across the country and has now become a classic worldwide. This intergenerational backpack is a practical and comfortable companion suitable for all types of uses (whether for school, hiking, traveling, a walk, or a weekend getaway, etc.), in short, it is a bag that will follow you everywhere, every day! Depending on your needs, there are different models and sizes (from 7L to 20L or even smaller for the Kånken Sling), and if you are unsure about which model to choose, we are here to advise you in-store, by phone, or by email for your online purchases.
The Kanken is robust and lightweight, and it is resistant to water and stains thanks to its Vinylon F fabric.
Vinylon F is a material created by the FJÄLLRÄVEN brand, used mainly for the Kånken backpack but also for some hiking bags that require a waterproof coating. This water resistance is functional at first, but like all materials, it ages over time and inevitably loses its waterproofness after a few years. However, you can easily remedy this by covering the bag with a small Rain Cover designed for each backpack according to its volume, for rainy days.
Unlike other materials from the brand, such as G-1000, Vinylon F cannot be re-waterproofed with a specific product!
Although a synthetic fiber, Vinylon F shares many advantages with natural fibers. It is a lighter and more durable material, combined with excellent abrasion resistance. Vinylon F is a material that continues to prove its lasting functionality year after year.
The Fjällräven Kanken backpack is equipped with two carry handles that make it unique and allow it to be carried like a handbag.
It also offers very comfortable shoulder carrying, thanks to its foam PE back support system, included in the inner pocket of the bag, and its adjustable and buttoned straps.
This Fjällräven Kanken backpack has a large main compartment with a zip closure and a name tag, very useful for not losing it. It also has a zippered front pocket and two side slot pockets where you can slip all your little essentials (bottle, keys, etc.). Moreover, this backpack is recognizable from afar and in the dark thanks to its reflective logo.
Do you find the Kånken straps too thin?
No problem, just add Kånken Shoulder Pads that attach to the bag with a simple snap system. And for those who want a very stable backpack for hiking, brisk walking, or biking, there is also the Kånken Chest Strap.
Does your water bottle take up a lot of space in your bag? Why not opt for the Kånken Bottle Pocket, which simply clips onto the outer pocket. And for those who want a bit of organization in the bag, you can choose between the Kånken Organizer with its zippered pockets or simply the Kånken Gear Bag or Gear Pocket pouches in bright colors, which you can easily spot in your bag.
The small foam pad at the bottom of the pocket, the one you might be tempted to throw away after purchasing the bag, actually has a purpose: not only does it help the bag keep its shape, but it also protects your back! In the Laptop model, it will further protect your computer from the contents of the main pocket. And the little sticker on this foam pad indicates that you can use it to sit on outside—yes, it's a Seat Pad! Another tip: don't replace this foam pad with your computer, as the pocket is not designed for that and could tear over time!
The Kånken Original was created in Vinylon F, but it also exists in other materials such as the No. 2 in G-1000 (organic cotton and recycled polyester) with handles and details in natural leather, the Re-Kånken made from 11 recycled plastic bottles, or the latest in the range, the Tree-Kånken. There is also the Kånken Re-Wool in recycled wool and G-1000. For those who prefer a discreet logo, you can opt for the No. 2 All Black with an all-black logo or the Re-Kånken with a tone-on-tone embroidered logo. Do you prefer a shoulder bag? Why not choose the Kanken Totepack, which allows you to carry it in three different ways: by hand, on the shoulder, or as a backpack.
The KÅNKEN is the brand's iconic bag, timeless for 44 years, but there are a multitude of other FJÄLLRÄVEN bags, whether urban bags, travel bags, or hiking bags.
