The Fjallraven Kanken was originally conceived in 1978 in response to a study which showed that 80% of Swedes suffered from back complaints of some variety. The Kanken Backpack was designed as a school pack which put little pressure on developing backs, but quickly grew in popularity, and is still a favourite of many and not just children. The Fjallraven Kanken's wide opening front makes it easy to pack, and the use of hardwearing Vinylon F fabric means that it's water resistant and durable. Whether you're going on a light walk, or commuting to work, the Kanken will provide you with a stylish, comfortable and practical carrying system.
