Straight backs are happy backs! The Fjällräven Kånken was launched in 1978 to spare the backs of school children. Back problems had begun to appear in increasingly younger age groups and shoulder bags were popular. Kånken has many simple, clear functions. The backpack soon became a common sight at pre-schools and nature schools around the country. The idea of using a backpack quickly spread, as did Kånken. It is just as popular today, and an excellent choice for school, outings or biking to work. Kånken is made out of durable, lightweight Vinylon F. The large main compartment with a large opening makes it easy to put in/take out items. Two side pockets and a zippered pocket in the front. Handle at the top, narrow, supple shoulder straps, sitting pad in the pocket in the back and logo that doubles as a reflector. Product Features Popular backpack in hardwearing Vinylon F fabric. Carried as a backpack or a bag via convertible straps. Removable seat pad, reflector in logo and front/side pockets. Name and address label on inside of pack. Kånken *Backpacks and bags Concept: Outdoor Depth: 13 cm Height: 38 cm Width: 27 cm Volume: 16 L Weight: 300 g Gender: Unisex Type: Daypack Sustainability Credentials Vynylon F is the original Kanken material and has proven it's durability over the decades. In addition to its longevity Vynilon F is water resistant without using any PFC based water repellents. Even though it is a synthetic fibre it acts much like a natural fiber and swells up when it gets damp. This tightens the weave and provides water resistance.
