Fjällräven - Kånken 16l Backpack black - The classic Kånken backpack in hard-wearing Vinylon fabric with a zip that opens the entire main compartment. Straight backs are happy backs! FjällRavens Kånken was created as far back as 1978 to help prevent back problems among Swedish school children and quickly became a common sight at preschools and nature schools throughout the country. Today, 35 years later, Kånken has straightened millions of backs across the globe and has become one of Fjällräven's most beloved products. This classic backpack is equally suited to journeys to and from school or work, as it is to trekking and travelling. The material is hard-wearing, lightweight Vinylon F fabric that is able to withstand dirt and wetness. The spacious main compartment has a large opening with a zip, which makes it easy to pack and unpack. It has two flat side pockets and a zipped pocket on the front, perfect for those bits and bobs that you want to keep close at hand. The included PE foam seat cushion is stored in the interior back pocket where it prevents the contents of the backpack from poking against your back – and is always within reach for when you need to take a break and sit down, wherever you may be. The carrying system is simple but practical and consists of handles at the top and slender, adjustable shoulder straps. The logo on the front is reflective. It also has an address label inside the main compartment.

I am not sure why these bags are popular. I fell for the logo and the marketing. I ordered it online and had high expectations. I was sorely disappointed to discover that the material feels like plastic. I was expecting more of a canvas feel. It is not supple like fabric and is more plastic-y.This particular bag is small. Like a Fanny pack size but in a different shape. I like how it hangs when you put it on and the strap has ample room for adjustment, even for someone plus sized. And the gold color is nice. The positives stop there.Inside the main compartment, there is no clip for your keys. That’s a complete dealbreaker for me. The internal pocket for a wallet doesn’t have a zipper or fastener, if that’s important for anyone. The compartment is roomy but ... MoreI am not sure why these bags are popular.

The compartment is roomy but things will just be floating around inside and it will be too hard to get keys out. There’s a back pocket also that’s flatter. The front outside little pocket seems too small for anything, maybe chapstick. The handles have a little snap on them so if you wanted to unzip the main compartment, you’d have to unsnap it and the snap is a little hard to open. You could leave it open but it looks better snapped shut.Overall, I’m so disappointed by the material this bag is made of, I will be returning it. I don’t know if it’s just this model or if they are all made the same way.

This is a great size for the Fjallraven! Already own several styles and sizes in our family and had to have this one when they went on sale. The green is a beautiful forest green and you really can fit a lot in it for a small bag. Bought green for one of my children, bought black for myself, and the black with the rainbow accent handle and strap for my niece. Everyone is loves with this style!

I am amazed at how much this bag holds. Huge fan of the brand-own several and this does not disappoint! I use a smaller wallet. Room for sunnies, reading glasses, key’s, phone, touch up powder and lipstick! I tossed in a mini nars blush with mirror. Still room and it’s the lightest of weight. I can add tissues, a fan b/c it’s hot as all get out where I live. Long adjustable strap is fantastic. Yes, the front pocket zipper takes some coaxing but it’s the water resistant material. I use that for keys and reach in for the fob to set alarm. It’s the cutest thing ever! Love love love!

I have wanted a mustard crossbody for a while. This wasn’t a nice deep mustard, more yellow. Though it never claimed to be mustard so can’t knock that.It’s a cute crossbody but with the handles and material, it felt a little basic. I would have preferred a thicker material and only crossbody strap. Can’t imagine that many carrying it by handles and they just get in the way.It’s pretty small. And it just looks and feels like it was made for a teen.I have other Fjallraven products and love them. This one wasn’t for me.
The material is stiff canvas. I purchased the black color and as with other reviewers, it had white markings on the creases making it looked weathered. This might be is the intended style of the manufacturer. The size is perfect for one 16 oz water plastic water bottle, wallet and many flat or small accessories. I could fit this in my sports backpack. I like the handles on the top of the bag to help me pull it out of my backpack. This is perfect size when attending sporting events where they restrict size of bags. The big detractor is the stiffness when using the zippers. Hard to pull open and shut. The stiff canvas zipper cover lip (especially on the small outter pouch) makes the access to zipper difficult. Not convenient if you have to retrieve your wallet or ...

Fjallraven backpacks have been my favourite for years. I love their simple and minimalist design, yet they are very roomy and practical for day to day life. I have a spinal arthritis condition and they are the only bags, with their thin shoulder straps and fabric, that don't injure my back when I walk and for long distance travel. Their sustainability is also a must. Thanks Luggage.co.nz for your great selection and your outstanding customer service.
