My go-to backpack
I absolutely love my Kånken backpack! It’s so roomy and fits everything I need, and I loooooove the color. It makes me happy every time I use it.

Disappointing quality
Bought last year for my son’s PreK class. The inside liner is completed shredded and falling apart. I have two other back packs that I purchased for my daughters 3 years ago and they are still in good shape. I think the quality has gone down.

So happy to carry my Kanken!
The material and design are excellent. I like the water resistant material which is very practical for traveling. Also, the design makes the small backpack with extra capacity. I feel like I can put more stuff in the Kanken than any other bigger backpack. The light weight is a plus for travelers.

I feel like in 2017 again.
An amazing backpack, I always wanted this backpack since I was in middle school, it was like the peak of coolness.
I had been using it for my daily life, and it’s so comfortable and so spacious, definitely the best bag I ever bought 💛.

Great simple backpack!
The canvas feels great, and overall the bag feels like it will last a lifetime. It's the perfect everyday bag for me, and it's been great so far.

Great Pack but Side Pockets Are Tight
Great pack. Beautiful color, sturdy design, very comfortable to wear. Little trouble fitting my water bottle in the side pocket when I have the pack full, though.
