Mini Kånken Water Resistant Backpack

Just the cutest bag ever, and it’s absolutely perfect for my everyday needs. It’s nice and convenient to carry around. I do recommend getting the regular size straps instead of the mini size for more coverage on the shoulders. The cover with the mini straps isn’t terrible but more would be nice.

I have purchased 5 of these backpacks over the years for 5 of my nieces and nephews who live in a remote location in a developing country across the world. These bags have endured 5 international journeys and countless flights/trips into the jungle, as well as the rough hands of children, ages 6 and under. They are the perfect size for young kids to wear, but also to place their needed and treasured items in for easy and independent access during long trips. My brother and his wife love the responsibility and freedom it allows their kids during their travels. But ultimately, the backpacks hold up so nicely. They aren't falling apart, they don't retain dirt, and they have been exposed to all sorts of weather and rough conditions. They will continue to be used until outgrown, then passed down to other cousins or even generations. I could not recommend this more.

My wife received one as a gift. The straps are nothing like the photos. No smaller strap near the bottom for securing excess strap and no d-ring near the top for attaching their strap pad add ons. Will come back to edit review if the bag holds up or not. She received it as a gift from friends who have had their minis for a very long time so we will be able to compare them next time we see them. As of now though, seems like they are cheaping out on materials for their bags which is unfortunate.
