I bought the smaller version of the No.2 Black series approx 5 years back and now here I am, wanting to get the laptop version simply cause they have 2 more zip pockets. 😅The laptop compartment would be perfect to store cash and passport while traveling IMO.
Hi! I would like to buy the No.2 black mini to use as a daily purse. However, some people have said theirs turned brown in a few months. I would hate that! How is the colour on yours holding up? Has it faded at all? Also, does it attract a lot of dirt/lint etc? If it fades and is constantly dirty, I may choose a rekanken instead, but the material is soooo stiff, noisy, and not rain proof, so I am torn! Don't want to make an expensive mistake! Thanks 😊
Hi! Thanks for the review! Have you experienced any colour fade at all? I really want a mini no.2 black to use as a daily purse, but some people have said theirs turned brown within a few months. I know I will not want to use it if this happens and it's too expensive if that's the case. Yours seems to be holding up well? If it's just a travel bag for you, perhaps you don't use it that often though, so it is lasting longer? I do have a chronically shedding white dog as well lol. How much does the bag attract dirt/stains? Thank you 😊
Hello and thanks for watching! You’re right: I’ve actually stopped using the bag every day so it doesn’t get much wear and tear. Mine has held up, but I have seen bags with severe fading. They do seem to turn gray quickly. The material also does seem to attract pet hair quickly too… 😬
Hi there! Does the color of the backpack rub off on light color clothes, especially when it's wet (rain)? Also, have you noticed it fading into a red-ish color in some spots from sun exposure?
I’m saving up for a 15” and classic kanken and plan to buy water bottle pockets with them. The classic kanken will be used as a daypack for theme parks/days out so I have everything on me and the 15” kanken will be used for college
The Kanken no. 2 15" laptop has been updated and the new version has bigger side pockets, so now it can fit a classic bottle ! I’ve tried with a 500ml Chilly’s bottle, it fits perfectly !
Hello there! Thanks for watching. I do not wax my bag at all. However, I have noticed that the bag does pick up quite a bit of lint and dust so I wonder if waxing might help it be more waterproof. Hope that helps!
@@WellBehavedWallet thank you for the reply! Ok then, I don't have to buy the wax. Great help! Last question, have you noticed fading? I've read it a lot that Kanken tends to fade especially if it's always exposed to direct sunlight.
@@WellBehavedWallet Waxing it will make it a lot more water-resistant and robust, but it will start picking up even more lint and hair because the wax is a bit sticky.
Sidepocket: Get the Fjällräven Kånken pencil case it fits like a glove in there :) .. Maybe get 2: One as pencil case, one for glasses/sunglasses.... or Hygiene products ... or ...
Hi! Is it possible to know what type of laptop can you fit in? I have a Dell XPS 15”, but in reality is like a 15.6”. I’m really interested and it’s hard to find a backpack for my laptop. Great video and Thank you!!!
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Both of my laptops are under 13”. The laptop compartment is pretty tight so I’m not sure anything even a bit over 15” would fit. If you can try it out in person that might be the best bet.
Glad it was helpful! Sadly, the black does fade a bit over time. I do like the versatility of black, though. If you are worried about fading, I’d go with another color.
Hi! I have the exact same model, I got it in 2017 , mine has a little bit of padding at the bottom, but I’ve never put my laptop or iPad without a padded sleeve or some times I have wrap it around a thin jumper to safe space when travelling. I have a water bottle that fits on the side pockets it’s by Wilford and sons just in case it helps x
@@lilithcarter thanks Lilith! Definitely helps! I was thinking about a sleeve but I was worried that it would make it too large/bulky for the bag, I’m glad that it works and I’ll definitely take that recommendation. Thanks again!
Hi! I’ve not seen this model before. I wish I had. Love it! I have their regular version in blue gray. I love the bag, but those unpadded straps cut into my shoulder. It’s my only beef. I will buy a copy this model next. Re: lint…roller it! Works great. Thanks for sharing!!
I totally agree! The unpadded straps are NOT the best. And yes, I do agree that the cure for lint is to roller it... but man, I have a hard enough time remembering to lint roller myself!

There is a water bottle that fits from the brand Primus called Klunken wich is designed for the sidepockets of the Kånken
I’ve always loved the look of these backpacks! Thanks for sharing!
They definitely have a distinction look! It’s served me well. 👍 Thank you for watching!!
I am able to fit my slim hydroflask and an umbrella in the side pockets.

Great job filling in the backpack. I hope that you can get an affiliate link with the company
Thank you Darrell!!! I hope so too!

Hi, I just purchased this exact bag. Do you wax yours with the greenland wax? If yes, how often? Hope you'll respond :)

There are a few water bottles that fit,Primus klunken fit great and small chilly ones(skinny one)

I know I’m late I just bought black one 17’
Congrats! I hope you love it.
This is super helpful! Does the black color fade/change over time?

Hey do u mind if I ask how tall u are? I’m thinking about getting the kanken 15” but I’m 5’3 and worried that it’ll look big on me 😅
Yep - I’m 5’9”.
very informational video. are those two 15 inch laptops?
Yep!
Does it have padding on the bottom for the laptop? Afraid to put it down on the ground with the laptop and dinging it

You can buy the pads seperately, I got a pair for my re kanken and it is perfectly comfortable with them!
is the depth really only 13 centimeter? I need have place a smaller camera bag inside of it which has a depth of 15.6 cm.
Depth of the classic version is 13 cm. Of the laptop version, shown here, it is 16 cm.
loved the vid ❤ may i know what exactly is the name of the model? i found the regular kind and it doesnt look the same.
It’s called the kanken laptop 15
Size?
15 Inch Laptop
Is this backpack water resistant?
I haven't tested this backpack in a heavy downpour, but it seems to do well in light rainfall.
cute backpack and host
