It looked deceptively bigger and I was disappointed in its size way too small. Very disappointing

I bought this for my son for school and it’s the perfect size! It’s comfortable for him and very durable! Fits a large lunch box and water bottle with extra space. Will definitely be getting one for my other son when he starts kindergarten!

Lightweight, durable, and spacious!

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

I bought this for my son for kindergarten (with the padded shoulder straps too - really a great addition), and it has been sooooo great! The bag is incredibly lightweight yet durable and strong! Really spacious, easily carries his homework folder, snack box, lunch box or bag of soccer gear, and fleece jacket. I additionally got the water bottle pocket carrier accessory which was a game changer, as none of his water bottles would fit in the side pocket od the bag but easily could with the bottle carrier attachment. Would be great if came with the padded straps and a larger side pocket for water bottles but glad there were at least accessory options available. The material was initially pretty stiff, making comfortably getthing to the zippers was a little annoying, but this quickly improved; after a few weeks it has softened up and is comfortable and a breeze to use. Love the double handles on the top and the bright color options! Is quite literally thrown around all day and still looks brand new. Overall, we have been loving this bag and hope to use it for many years to come!

Oh dear!!!

No, I don't recommend this

I have had my navy Kanken for years and thought it would be wonderful to now have a pink one. I’m afraid it has been returned. This felt cheap and I would have thought it was a copy if I had not purchased from M&S. Not good at all and even the badge felt like plastic. Gutted!!

This backpack it’s THE best I ever had! It’s been 3 years since I got it and still in very good condition after being my everyday backpack in rainy and snowy days and traveled with me to many outdoors adventures. You can store so much in it and the strips are very strong!

I bought this for my kindergartener and was surprised at how lightweight it was. I was a little bit concerned that it wouldn’t hold up but so far it’s been great. Cute color and she loves it!

Europe is waiting for me.

Smart and serviceable. Had a bit of a job working out how to adjust the straps. Looking forward to using it while travelling

I absolutely love this Kånken backpack! The color is beautiful, the design is simple and stylish, and it’s incredibly practical. My first Kånken was a gift from my daughter, and I loved it so much that I decided to buy a second one. I work as a nurse in a hospital, and it’s perfect for carrying everything I need during my shifts. It’s comfortable, well organized, and all the little details are very thoughtfully designed. Beautiful, practical, and comfortable — exactly what I need. Bravo, Kånken! Nataliya

Meets our needs (size, durability, ease of use)

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

Good size for my kindergartener - not overwhelmingly big, but big enough for folders/binders/booke, water bottle, jacket, etc. Material is sturdy enough to withstand the daily abuse imposed by kids. This is our 2nd kanken, after seeing how well a slightly larger version (with the laptop slot) held up for my now 5th grader; hes beem using it for at least 2 years now.
