Bought for my daughter as a school carry all

She loves it; I bought her the green colour and she is very excited to use it. It will fit her chromebook, a lunch and a binder perfectly. We like the little pockets it has as well and what can be stored in them!

Great daypack for grown ups

I am long term user of the Kanken bag and was thrilled by this version. The padded back, shoulder pads and chest strap are great additions, as is the extra room, new colours and improved water bottle pockets. I've bought three (so far).

Perfect backpack for my daily walks to work.

I purchased many Fjallraven backpacks because I love the minimalist design. The material is sturdy and lightweight since I use this on my 20 minute walks to work and home. I have been waiting for Fjallraven to make a pack like the classic Kånken but to fit larger water bottles and this pack is perfect!! It’s also very comfortable. I would get all the colors if I could :)

Almost perfect

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

I would like to see the outlong merged with the 17". It needs that 20l volume instead of 18l and the lap needs to be in a dedicated pocket. Otherwise it's the best kanken out there with the bigger pockets on the side, base compartment and webbing I really like all those features. Just needs to be bigger with dedicated laptop pocket and that would be my perfect bag everyday for everything.

I got this bag a long time ago but it died in a fiber glass incident. I loooooved it but they should replace the bottom pocket with a zippered laptop sleeve in the back! If they updated that I would buy it again for sure!

Great bag

I bought the bag 6 months ago and I am happy I did. It is very useful for day to day and for trips as well. It is very sturdy. I carry 2 laptops, power banks and other devices they are usually are pretty heavy, but the bag is comfortable and I don’t feel them as heavy as with my previous bag. It is very easy to clean as well. Also, I don’t know how but it looks not very big, but you can put a lot of stuff inside of it. Once I had the contents of carry on in that bag. My previous bag couldn’t carry as much.

Good

I bought this as a small bag to carry around essentials while teaching clinicals to a group of nursing students in the hospital. It holds everything I need it to hold: my wallet & personal items in one side & my blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, pen light, and pens in the other side. I just wish it worked easier as a should bag and not just a waist pouch.

Sorely miss the separate laptop zipper

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

I love this update BUT I sorely MISS the back laptop zipper of my previous laptop kanken, please add that and it will be perfect! I also have a kanken with a water bottle attachment but the outlong built-in water bottle holders are so much better.

Sturdy homeschooling mom bag

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

Yes, I recommend this

I got this bag to carry around my Bible, journals, laptop and homeschooling supplies. It’s cute and feels sturdy. I somehow expected it to be bigger but I think it will workout for my needs. I like that it is pvc free since I’m trying to find more eco friendly products. It feels good on my back, I’m 5”2 and 111lbs.

Please Add A Separate Laptop Sleeve!

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

Yes, I recommend this

I’ve been waiting for an improved Kanken bag with bigger water bottle holders and a breathable back. This bag is perfect but it needs a padded 15 inch laptop sleeve to justify the price! Please make a laptop version of this and I’ll gladly buy it.

Perfect backpack for the on-the-go traveler

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

Purchased this as my new travel work backpack and I love it so much! The Outlong is Fjallraven’s best attempt at upgrading the iconic Kanken. It has every feature you’ve ever wanted from the original bag. The two water bottle pockets fit everything from bottles to wipes, the bottom pocket is a perfect for storing your jacket or spare shoes, and the laptop pocket with pad is perfect for my work laptop. It also has a chest strap with safety whistle, large handles, and repels most minor stains. My only gripe is that it doesn’t come in enough colors yet! I purchased the Ochre and love it but I can’t wait for them to release more colors in this style!

I hope that there will be a classic red colour and will be waiting for that. Use Kanken for almost 10 years and would like to buy this one

Hello! For now it does not look like we will be having a red version of the Kånken Outlong, but hopefully in the future!

I was eyeing this for the longest time! And i love it! It has the perfext amount of space for going about day trips. I find the two bottle holders so convenient and the bottom portion for keeping a spare birkenstock. The handles are also nice and big. Goes superbly well with the Kanken weekender bag. Would highly recommend.

Great for commuting

Originally posted on Fenix Outdoor

I got this in ochre for my commute to the office, as my classic Kånken was a little too small for my needs. I am so glad I did. I love the side pockets and am using one for my umbrella and the other for a water bottle. The bottom zippered compartment is a nice touch as well. Highly recommend this backpack!
