Fjällräven Kånken

- An unparalleled classic!

The Kånken backpack is made from durable and water-repellent Vinylon-F fabric and has been an iconic choice among backpacks for decades. Kånken is one of the few backpacks people recognize by name. Numerous color options are constantly evolving, continually expanding its variety.

Kånken - an ergonomic design for a straight back

When Kånken was first introduced in 1978, it was designed to tackle back issues faced by schoolchildren. At that time, back problems were increasingly common among younger age groups, while shoulder bags remained popular. The backpack offers several functionalities, all of them straightforward and clear. It quickly became a common sight in preschools and daycare centers everywhere. The idea of carrying a backpack caught on rapidly, along with the Kånken itself. Today, Kånken is equally popular for school, outdoor adventures, or bike commutes. The bag features two side pockets and a zippered front pocket. It has a top handle, slim, flexible shoulder straps, a seat pad secured in the back pocket, and a reflector in the logo.

Versatile for dozens of uses - Navigate through crowds, cycle rugged terrains, trek in nature, hang out with friends, or utilize Kånken as a school backpack. This bag is suitable for a variety of applications.

Exceptionally comfortable due to its back-friendly, simple design - The design of the backpack has remained nearly unchanged since the 1970s. Thanks to its simple yet ingenious design, the Kånken effectively distributes weight evenly across both shoulders, preventing back and shoulder discomfort.

A backpack that feels light even when fully loaded - Kånken feels comfortable and light on your back, regardless of whether it’s full or empty. The reason for this is clear. Its slender but carefully designed straps allow for an incredible weight distribution across both sides. The shoulder straps are easy to adjust for a personalized fit.

Durable and resilient year after year - Forget backpacks that barely last a year or two. Kånken is made from tough, lightweight Vinylon F fabric that withstands various stresses incredibly well. The interior of the backpack is easy to clean; simply wet a cloth and wipe it down - it’ll look as good as new and ready for action.

Easy to fill and empty - The square-shaped Kånken features a spacious 16-liter main compartment and a large opening that simplifies loading and unloading items.

Compact yet surprisingly spacious - Kånken is roomier than you might expect. Its ideal size ensures you don’t accidentally carry unnecessary items. The square shape is particularly adept at accommodating laptops and books.

Slim but deep side pockets prevent items from falling out - The side pockets are perfect for storing a phone, charger, small items, or even an umbrella.

Resistant to moisture in winter sleet and summer downpours - Professional photographers trust this backpack so much that they carry thousands of euros worth of gear inside. However, it is not completely waterproof or weatherproof. Kånken pays particular attention to the quality of the zippers used in the backpack. The zippers are covered with fabric to keep moisture at bay.

Convert shoulder straps into a carrying handle and carry it like a bag - Remove your backpack in cramped spaces like buses, trains, subways, or crowded areas and carry it comfortably like a bag! The shoulder straps can be conveniently fastened together to form a single carrying handle. Best of all, you still have access to your items.

Note! Both water and dry cleaning are prohibited when maintaining Kånken backpacks. Whatever you decide to do, do not place Kånken in the washing machine. Instead, clean dirty spots with lukewarm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush or sponge. It’s best to dry the Kånken by hanging it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Also, do not leave Kånken in direct sunlight, as colors may fade. Kånken prefers shade or less intense sunlight. Colors that are heavily dyed may bleed slightly when wet.
