Quite Adorable

I ordered mine from OutdoorEquipped, and it arrived 3 days later (Amazon Prime rocks) in mint condition, totally authentic as well. Instead of rambling off, I'll just get down to it: Pros: - It actually DOES help my back. I have the same amount of materials in this backpack that I did in my previous one, yet it feels lighter, somehow? So the Swedish certainly know what they're doing. - It's quite roomy on the inside, even though it looked so small when I first opened the box. I absolutely love it. - The pocket on the inside is quite deep so you could probably fit a lot of things. - It's cute and trendy right now, so. Cons: - Another reviewer was correct: the little pocket on the outside is a slight menace. It's not too difficult to open, but there isn't a lot of room, which sucks because I have all my writing utensils, a tiny mirror, and my phone in there. I have to sorta wrestle my phone for it to fit and be able to zip up. I have an iPhone 6 (normal), but maybe the issue is my starbucks phone case that makes it a little larger. - Normal sized plastic waters bottles DO fit into the sides of the backpack, but you kind of have to put a tinyyy bit of effort into sliding the bottle in. Also, the pouch/pockets don't extend outwards. They use space from the inside of your pack, so if your pack is bursting at the seams, there's no way you will also fit a bottle on either side. - There's only one inside pocket and it's rather large and uncovered, so potentially able to spill your contents if you flip the backpack upside down. I tried to include pictures of my own backpack to show some of the details that proves it is authentic, though it's best if you look online for a guide on how to spot fake kankens. Mine seems pretty legit.

Authentic Kanken!

I never write reviews, but I received my first Kanken today and I'm in love! The material is amazing and the color is absolutely gorgeous. I was very hesitant buying authentically through Amazon, but I am very certain my backpack is the real deal and I'll give some tips that are helpful when buying. I chose to buy through Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon as I believe this would be the safest option, and I don't regret a thing. It looks perfect, and it got here in only two days! One of the first things I checked was the reflective patch, as this would be difficult to replicate and my patch is indeed reflective. The straps are a material with a detailed sort of "H" pattern, and the fox on the buttons is detailed and reads "WASA 6" on the other side. All zippers read "YKK" on the side, the crest on the tag is detailed, and he brochure looks legit. No complaints here! The material is firm but sturdy and I'm sure it'll break in with use. I was able to fit much more than expected inside and it doesn't feel heavy at all, which is great for all-day use, especially if you have back issues like me. Remember to buy from Amazon and by Amazon even if it's a few more dollars, mine was still cheaper than it would be on the Kanken site. Happy shopping!

Great backpack/diaper bag

I received a legit Kanken and it's been a great diaper bag with lots of space. Easily fits 6 diapers, a pack of whipped, change of baby clothes, ergo sport baby carrier, snacks, and mama's wallet and phone. While my water bottle doesn't fit in the side sleeve, a sippy cup does which is super convienent for my toddler. I've heard those skinny VOSS bottles fit but I haven't been able to try it. Fabric was a little stiff initially but it's breaking in nicely after a couple weeks. Hoping to get the padded straps at some point although the basic ones this came with are pretty comfortable. I had to get another mini-kanken for myself ! Fog color matches my Chicco stroller exactly

<3

Kanken is still my favorite backpack after one year. I must note that the color does fade away a little ,but I don't think that's too big of a problem. It is super comfortable on the shoulders and relieves the back from pain despite its thin straps. If you are carrying textbooks, for many students, we can hold it with the straps and it's still super sturdy. There are two main pockets, one small one in the front and the big zipper which goes all the way down and can open like a luggage. Even when I'm carrying heavy things, I don't feel much of the weight on my shoulders. It is definitely spacious and can hold numerous things; nice and rectangular shape which makes organizing easy. There is also a laptop compartment, however it is not cushioned, so you'd have to be careful nonetheless. Overall, its stylish, spacious, and easy on the back. i highly recommend this backpack!

authentic and quality backpack

I tend to over pack my backpack, but this pack is big enough to hold the essentials and small enough to prevent me from filling it with unnecessary items. it is also very good with my back, I've noticed a big difference. the material is water resistant and high quality. I know amazon has a lot of fakes but 4 simple ways to authenticate the bag is by checking if the crown on the price tag is gold, blue and red, checking the pattern stitching of the straps, checking the inside label of the bag, and taking a picture of the fox logo on the back, if the bag is legit the material will reflect in the photo, thats the most easy sign.

Ox Red

I attached pictures to show what all I put in my bag. It's not heavy at all with the things I put it in. As for the side pockets I don't believe any bottles larger than the one I have shown will fit in it. This is ox red and it looks as pictured to me. I do believe this is a real Kanken just based off of "verification sites" I viewed online. Amazon sold and shipped this to me so if you're using any other seller buyer beware ...you may get a fake ..if you don't really care about that then go for it. I really love this bag and I may get the mini next!

Legit and cute

Ordered via Amazon Prime and it's the real deal! I love the color. In the picture: it fits my 13 inch laptop, chargers, a change of clothes, toiletries, a journal, and a book.

Tips to tell if your Kanken is real.

When I first saw the reviews I was hesitant to buy this because the amount of people saying they got a fake bag, but I bit the bullet and prayed to get a real bag, which I did. If you can tell the difference between a real Kanken and a fake Kanken then it’s up to you if you want to buy this, if not Urban Outfitters is a good resaler for the Fjallraven Kanken but the colors are limited, if you are looking for a more broad color range, the Fjallraven website is the way to go if you don’t trust amazon. Real Kanken Attributes -WASA 6 on button back -Fjallraven Kanken logo on bag should be reflective with flash but matte regularly, it should not be glittery of shiny -inside tag should have a sweden flag as shown on the picture -stitching should be nice and not sloppy -emblem above “by appointment to h.m the king of Sweden” should be multi colored -Kanken pamphlet is inside smaller section of bag -straps and handles should have an H pattern, not a V pattern -Fjallraven logo on three buttons should face downwards -bag foam should be of high quality and not flimsy and thin -Bag material is made of Vinylon-F which is tough, rough and sturdy material

AMAZING BACKPACK!

I purchased 3 of these (in different colors) from different Amazon sellers and each one was authentic. I went through several steps to confirm and was very pleased that none of them were fake! The sellers were: Amazon, Happy Haus, and Pipeline24. I purchased ox red, royal blue, and leaf green. I am not sure which one I am going to keep yet but am leaning towards leaf green or royal blue! Each of the colors is gorgeous though!! The bag, as others have said, fits a surprising amount inside. I am having my third baby this fall and plan to use it as a diaper bag and I know that I will not have trouble doing this at all. I love that the zipper comes all the way down on the sides - this is what sold me! No more digging! The straps also do not seem to be a problem. I loaded one of the bags up with each of the items that I know I will be carrying and I felt no discomfort from the straps at all. I also tried the bag with my strollers and I love that the top handles work perfectly with stroller handles. Also, a stroller with even a minimal amount of storage space underneath will fit this bag! The fabric is quite stiff at first but from what I hear it softens up with some use. I also read lots of complaints about the side pockets on the outside being too small but I think they're a nice size. They may not fit some larger water bottles but you can easily fit your phone (iPhone 7+ was a perfect fit), sunglasses (a typical ray ban case fits), take n toss sippy cup, and definitely a baby bottle if you need to tote those around. I can see this bag being used for years and years to come and I am sure that I will be back to purchase an additional color at some point! PS - One piece of advice that I found the most helpful in determining which bags to purchase when I was worried about buying fakes was that as long as its a prime item you will likely be ok and that was definitely the case!

Perfect bag for school, make sure you purchase from a legitimate seller

Purchased my Kanken from Happy Haus, and was concerned about receiving a fake one considering the amount of reviews that said they received a fake Kanken. After comparing my bag to the other photos of real Kankens, I'm pretty sure that mine is real, and I've attached a photos that are features that should be in a real Kanken, including the Kanken infograph, the YKK on the side of the zipper, the Fjallraven/Wolf logos on each side of the zipper, the inside logo, and the tag. The bags are made in Vietnam, so an instant giveaway of a fake is that it is made in a different country. Onto the bag itself, it's quite stiff, but can hold everything I need as a student. Keep in mind, however, that the side pockets are essentially useless if you intend to use them to hold water bottles - I've tried multiple bottles and they are all too large, but the bag is large enough for me to place the bottle inside of the bag. It's a lot roomier than I thought it would be, considering my previous backpack was one of those large student Jansport backpacks, but it really does hold everything I would need for a typical day. I haven't had it for long, so I can't comment on its durability, but I think that this bag will last me a while.
