DESCRIPTION Originally designed for Swedish school children in 1978, the Kånken has since become a well-loved and iconic backpack for children and adults around the world. Made from Fjallraven's durable Vinylon F fabric, which repels moisture better than any other synthetic fabric, the Kånken is unparalleled in its functionality and design. This is the original Kånken design, featuring a removable seat cover in the pocket at the back, simple shoulder straps, handle on top, and a reflector in the logo. The main compartment zipper opens along the front panel of the bag, allowing you to open it wide and easily find your gear. The pocket on the front is perfect for quick grab essentials.

To this day, Fjällräven develop environmentally friendly fabrics and co-operate with partners to improve the environment and support biodiversity.
