Hey! If you are looking for a backpack like the Kanken, we made a video showing our favorites here: ruclips.net/video/P3Xm6M9BwAg/видео.html
The laptop backpacks are definately worth it. The inside wall bows out if you're not using the laptop compartment so you aren't wasting any space. I don't own a laptop so I fold up a raincoat and store it in the laptop compartment. This keeps me prepared for any unexpected showers as well as provides some extra padding between my back and the main compartment. Love this pack as a travel bag.
I’ve been waiting for a review of all the Kanken Laptop bags, thank you!!
Thanks for watching! 😃
This is very informative. Thank you!!
I have my kanken classic + additional strap for 5 years and I love it! However, these days I’m thinking to upgrade it to laptop version since I’m going back to uni and need more room for my ipad & laptop. But this video changed my view! I think I’m gonna buy the add-ons water bottle holder instead to make the main compartment bigger. Thanks!
Thanks for the overview.
great work! very useful review
Thank you, this is a very detail comparison
Glad it was helpful!
Useful video. I'm thinking of getting the laptop backpack cos I have to carry a laptop to work regularly now. Till now, I've been using my trusty Kanken Classic and placing the laptop case inside (like the video suggested at 4:28), but it's a pain having to unpack everything and then repack to get the case in and out.
Absolutely, the separate laptop sleeve is definitely easier to use than having to dig through the bag. Glad you found the video helpful!
So for people that carry laptop everyday, the kanken laptop is better choice compared to the classic one?
really really good review .Thanks!!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ty very much this was very helpful
I’ve had the laptop 17 backpack and it was the most uncomfortable bag I have ever owned. Sold it on eBay.
I got a great deal on a Kanken Classic at a consignment store. It’s pink, not my preferred colour choice, but it was a good price so I figured it would be worth getting to see how I liked it. I began using it as my EDC. It fit my lunch bag, rain jacket and a few other essentials. I was surprised how comfortable the straps are. I ended up buying the separate water bottle holder which solved the problem of the too narrow side pockets.
I really liked the Classic but after a year, I decided to upgrade to the Kanken No.2 15” Laptop bag in a different colour way. I liked having the separate laptop compartment but I found the bag very uncomfortable to carry. The padded straps just don’t work for me. They keep wanting to slide off my shoulders. I’ve since gone back to my old pink Kanken Classic and have decided to sell the 15” laptop bag.
@@desislavaatanasova3934 nope, you’re not the only one. In a Reddit discussion about bags a couple of people mentioned the same problem with the padded shoulder straps on the Kånken laptop bags. I’m still enjoying my pink Kånken Classic. I made a few modifications (mainly cosmetic) to it, so after investing money, time, and effort, I’m going to hang onto it.
Thanks for your insightful comment! I have my kanken classic for 5 years and started thinking to upgrade it to the laptop model.
I have the kanken 17inch, kanken number 2, n the tree kanken n pouch bag bottles holes back straps n back pack organizer
This is what i found!! I’m wavering between 13’ and 15’. Thanks😊
Glad the video was helpful!
I can only speak for my specific use case. I commute back’n’forth on my maxi scooter and I tuck my standard Kånken inside the rear trunk. I carry a large, 16inch, M1 Pro MacBook Pro in a neoprene sleeve inside the Kånken. It fits so narrowly, but it does, and along with a large cable case, sunglasses case, wallet, and so on. I can also fit in an 11” iPad Pro with its keyboard case. The overall package is very heavy, but for a short walking distance it’s ok. Definitely a bigger pain on rainy days when I commute by train, but I have, and I’m still alive. Main complaint: the side pockets are too narrow for a standard-size bottle (when the laptop is in) and too deep for anything else (I’ll probably get that clip-on thingy). Having such a relatively small backpack forces me to think deeply about what I want to carry, leaving behind all the unnecessary, non-mission-critical stuff I’d normally stuff in. I’ve give a thought about a laptop-fitted Kånken but chances are that for the time being I’ll stick with what I already have, maybe adding some accessories for additional comfort.
Awesome insight and thank you for taking the time to post this!
Very useful!
I’m not sure what to go for classic or 17inch? Use my backpack for travel mainly sorry only carry bottle of water jumper passport keys etc any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks 🙏
thank u for this video, super helpful as I am indecisive and don't know if I should order it for school. 😫i really like it but I don't want it to be too big I need to REALY love it before I spend over $100 on it.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching. If you are worried about size, sticking with the Kanken Classic or Laptop 13" will be your best bet!
最高に分かりやすかったです！ありがとうございます！初めてのkanken購入を考えていますが、どちらにするかコメント欄の皆さんの意見でさらに迷ってしまいました😃
まずはクラシックなのかなぁ…
日本より愛を込めて🇯🇵
I own a Kånken LapTop 17" and a normal one. For work I like to use the LapTop bag but for daily Trips the normal one is much better because it's more ergonomic. Thank's for the review
I was excited about the Kanken and got a 17”. Then tried even my EDC essentials and realized this did not seem like a durable bag for carrying a lot. Returned within a day and got it a Raven 28. Truly the Raven 28 and some of the their other backpacks are far better bags for their cost.
Kanken's are super bare-bones and definitely not for everyone. Agreed, there are better options if you value lots of organization and a more robust shoulder pads/back panel. Glad the Raven 28 worked out for you in the end!
is it possible to put macbook 14inch in kanken 13inch ?
The laptop pocket isn’t “missing” it’s not needed on every bag ever.
Well that's disappointing.. somehow the 15" laptop kanken we got this summer doesn't have the inner extra pocket that you show in this video...
Also for anyone wondering, a 17" laptop fits in the 15" laptop kanken.
That internal extra pocket is new. I have the 15” but I got it 2 years ago and there isn’t the inside pocket either. It was updated I think early to mid 2023.
Well that's odd because I bought the school bag 3 months after this video was uploaded... @@n00182085
Thanks for this useful video! I'm still in a dilemma though. I have a 13inch work laptop, I sometimes go the dance class after work. So the bag also needs to fit my dancing shoes and clothing. But I think the Kanken Classisc is the best choice then?
We just performed a quick test and were able to fit a 13" laptop (in a padded sleeve), running shoes (size 8 women's), sweatpants, shorts, long sleeve shirt and a t-shirt inside the Kanken Classic. It all fits but didn't leave room for anything else.
You should be fine with the Classic but if you need more packing room it might be worth upgrading to the 15" or 17" Kanken. Hope this helps!
@@Backpackies Thank you for testing this for me! What an effort!
No problem!
Is the inner zipped compartment on the laptop 15” a new upgrade by fjallraven? My 13” kanken laptop doesn’t have that feature and I bought it from myfoxbag in December 2022.
These bags are the 2023 versions but we are not sure when the pocket was added. Older versions don't include the pocket.
Something important to note about the 17" laptop backpack is that it is quite tall, so if you're putting folders, laptops, & pencil pouch, along with other items, it'll make the backpack sag over time & will hurt your back as well. I'm currently debating a 13" or 15" backpack b/c the 17" has gotten so uncomfortable to the point where I worry it'll have negative long-term effects on my back if I continue to use it.
tl;dr: consider the frame of your body when choosing a backpack from any brand & how it will sit on your back
Awesome insights thanks for sharing!
What colors are the Kanken backpacks Charlie uses in Heartstopper (1st season) and Lizzy uses in Instant Family?
Frost green
damn this review was only posted a month ago and I've seen these being warn for years. did the new sizes just come out or did everyone just have to guess before?
That's a good question lol
For 15.6” laptop, will it fit in the 15” bag or do I need to get the 17” ?
You'll have to upgrade to the 17" for a 15.6" laptop. Hope this is helpful!
For new MacBook Pro 14 inch, is 13 inch can fit the laptop? Or should I go for the 15 inch ? Thanks.
You'll have to use the Kanken Laptop 15". The laptop sleeve on the Kanken 13" is very snug and has no extra room for bigger laptops. Hope this helps!
I’ve read on several reviews that a laptop that is 13,3" Will fit in the kånken laptop 13". Is this not true?
i dont know which kind of chromebook i have, but it’s the basic black school computer one, perhaps u know if it could fit the classic?
Hi, if it's one of those small (11-12") Chromebooks then it will fit inside the Classic. The Classic can fit a laptop inside up to 13-inches with a case.
@@Backpackies thank you !!! ive been meaning to get a a kanken for school so now that i know which one to get its perfect.
thank you. finally i made up my mind.
What did you chose, I’m in a similar position so I’m curious
Awesome!
@@silentraisin same
Do the big folders fit in the classical?
Yes, big folders will fit in the Kanken Classic

It's a solid backpack!
what color is the classic one pls?
243 - Terracotta Brown 🙂
what color is that kanken 13 inch laptop bag?
The 13-inch is the Graphite color
does the Kanken classic fit a 14' inch laptop?
I am using a 14inch laptop with a 16:10screen, and I can tell it is pretty tight when put the laptop in a case when using the original kanken , and funny it is same story in kanken laptop 15
I have a question! Does an 14” laptop fit in the kanken classic bag?
yes!
I had the same question, Thanks!
I have not seen the inner pocker with zipper in Kanken 17”. Is that standard?
Yes the inner pocket is standard with all Kanken laptop versions
@@Backpackies my 15" laptop didnt come with inner pocket
Hello please reply. can you fit a 750 ml bottle in the side pocket i really need it ?😊
It depends on the diameter of your bottle. The largest bottle we were able to fit in the Kanken Classic was a 24oz/700 ml bottle (with 7.2cm diameter). You should be able to fit a 750 ml bottle in the Kanken Laptop 15" and 17” since they have bigger side pockets.
@@Backpackies Thanks a lot i was talking about the kanken 17 inch or 15 inch can they fit a 750 ml with measurements 250 x 80 x 72mm?
@@aribasquezO thanks for the reply
@@aribasquezO yes the size needs to be 750 ml
is it terracota color on classic backpack?
Yes, the color is terracotta on the classic!
does 15'6 laptop fits in kanken classic?????
No, a 15.6" laptop will be too big for the classic
What color is 13” in this video?
The 13" color is Graphite (031)
Thx for the comparison! I think i will go for the laptop version, since it has the "weird" laptop compartment, and the upgrade shoulder straps lol. Very helpful video!
Glad the video was helpful!
@@Backpackies could i ask you though. If i want to take out the laptop, do i have to "unattach" the backpack at the top aswell?
Like there's two handle bars on the top of the backpack, can be connected togheter. Do I need to "unattach" the two, just to take out my laptop? Thanks!
For 15 inch macbook pro can i use classic kanken??
A 15-inch Macbook will be too large for the Kanken Classic and you'll have to upgrade to the 15-inch Laptop version for it to fit.
I fit my 16 inch Macbook Pro in my Kanken Classic all the time with no problem.
@@vidaworksoutim planning to get a kanken classic but im worried about my laptop because it's an 15'6 inch laptop. Will it still gonna fit in kanken classic???
@@cashcarti5868 It should, but I would check the diminsions! My M1 Pro 16-macbook pro for sure fits in the classic and now my 13-inch macbook air has plenty of space in the classic. Hope this helps!
what color is it on Kanken 13"?
The Kanken 13 is Graphite (031) color
pay extra for comfort... great
i prefer the classic one ‘cos i can put my ipad in the seatpad but i need that zipped inside pocket, to put my wallet & phone.
I am a male 194/94kg and gor me laptop 15 is a little too small i mean i kinda regret buying it cuz i want to get 17 now...
Sorry to hear you got the wrong size. These backpacks a pretty small in size! Even the 15-inch is small compared to most other backpacks.
@@Backpackies true but the are very fancy looking are I love the design. :)
😱
why so expensive?
You'll have to ask Fjallraven 😅
Holy crap the narration voice is so grating
😅 thanks for the constructive criticism
I think she's just fine. She sounds like a friend of mine, so it's kind of comforting to hear. Also, informative.
She sounds ok. Very clear and animated
turn your volume down and she sounds fine
