They aren’t umbrella pockets. They were designed too hold newspapers for the Swedish kids in the 70’s as they had to do current events.

I love the look of the Kånken when it’s worn out. I have mine since grade 9 at school (14 years old) and now I’m 30 years old it was with me through school, university, travel, motherhood and I use it now as my work bag. At this point I’m emotionally attached to it 😂. But it looks good and it’s the same color as yours.

I have had my green Kanken for over 5 years and I still really love it! Back in High school it fit my large folder, books and more, in university it fit my laptop, water, food. Now it is my travel / everyday bag and I still absolutely love it

My first bag I bought in Sweden 40 years ago. I love the back reinforcement and often pull it out as a seat cushion for me. I draw in nature, the drawing pad fits perfectly and it is my constant companion on all trips.

I’ve had mine for 3 years and Im still in love with it! The color is sky blue and I would also recommend these backpacks to anyone :)

This is super helpful! Thanks! I'll probably buy one once my budget allows it since I've been looking at them for a while. Knowing that yours lasted you four years pretty much seals the deal for me, that's a good bag!

I recently 'upgraded' my Kanken from a regular classic to the Greenland version which can be waxed more easily. When out and about on a motorbike it can get grubby. but with a decent waxing the dirt pretty much rolls off and the contents stay dry!

I’ve had mine for 6 years, I love it!

I live in Zambia and mine is an interesting story: I went to a typical African market where they sell all kinds of 2nd-hand goods - clothes, shoes, bags, etc. So, I spotted a kanken in pink similar to the ones in the video and immediately grabbed it, examined it and discovered that it was an original kanken! In. Pristine. Condition. I asked how much it was and the response was the equivalent of US$3 (yes, THREE!!) in the local currency. In my heart, I was like 'Whaaaat?!' Outwardly, I maintained a facial demeanour which a poker player would have been proud of! Needless to say and with absolutely zero hesitation, I bought it; and now, my daughter is, ostensibly, the only proud owner of a Kanken in the whole of Zambia!

Initially, I thought that it was a fake; therefore, as soon as I got back to my house , I took the liberty of comparing with the real kankens on some real/fake comparison websites. To my pleasant shock, it turned out to be a real one! Maybe some misbehaving daughter somewhere in the kanken-owning universe ticked off her mum; and said ticked-off mum decided to punish the daughter not with the standard "Go to your room young lady!" but with a "Kiss your Kanken auf wiedersehen!" And now it is in Zambia eliciting envy from people who know Kankens!

I've had this same backpack for 4 years now, I use it for school, to go to the beach, when it´s raining, or snowing and it's the BEST!!! Great video!!! ☺

The best review of this backpack on the whole internet! Thank you so so much! You really helped me made my decision. I definitely want it!

I once saw a discussion on Reddit where a guy asked whether a Kanken he found was genuine or fake. The verdict was that it's fake, and I now see same differences in your backpack as well. If you compare the fox logo with official website images, the small circle above "A" in "Kanken" should touch the tip of the letter. It doesn't in your case. Also, circles above "A" in the upper word are way too small. Do you think that's possible it's a fake?

This review is well-done and very comprehensive. I'm eyeing this brand since i've been looking for a bag to replace my 4 year old Herschel bag. Everything that i need to know and am looking for in a backpack was covered in this review. Thanks Victoria!

i know this is 6 months late but i’d like to address and answer a question i found in the comments, the “water bottle” pockets are actually umbrella pockets! they do sell attachable water bottle pockets now. the bag is also water resistant, i’m about to be a senior in high school and i can say i’ve never had a problem with my school bags not being water proof or resistant, i bring an umbrella to school and even then if it rains and i use my bag as an umbrella, my binder is protecting my papers from getting wet. i’m obviously not trying to sell you on the bag just addressing :) i’d also like to say i love when bags and shoes are messed up and dirty. i think it looks lived in and used. you can do light cleaning and i think jansport makes a special backpack cleaner you can check out, but for example i feel like white converse are meant to get scuffed and dirty and lived in, same with these bags. i’m sorry you don’t like it, you can definitely consider selling it on an app like mercari or depop. hope this helped :)

I got the classic in black and the 17" in forest green both Christmas presents from different times. And I love them. I use the 17" for when I travel for a couple of days. And I'm surprised how much stuff you can fit in there.

So now I am leaning towards buying this bag. Thanks for the review.

Hello Victoria ! I own a black Kanken, more suitable and versatile for me cause i wear mostly black or dark coats. I like the design so much and it is really an amazing backpack. I also love the colors of your bag ! I personally use the side pockets for my phone , earphones, and my mask. I never thought it was designed for water bottles actually hahaha... The only thing i've noticed after a few months is that the pull tab of the zipper has lost a little bit of its black paint but i really don't mind... Have a nice Sunday !!

I instead use one of the outside pockets for my travel cutlery set and the other for my sunglasses, been happy with it for years:)

I dont know why im watching the “ is it worth it” for a kanken... of course its worth it.. my bag is the best purchase i have ever made

i have the forest green one cause it was the only colour available and i love it !! it has just arrived today and i had got it for half price, it is in such good condition and 100% new and original. i do recommend that you hand wash it as the material gets ruined if you put it in the washer, so keep that in mind!! overall, i am definetely going to use this bag for a very long time and this is such a good review! x

Is your original? I mean, I just watched some videos about how to differentiate between the original and fake, then I see yours not really same with the original. Thats why I am wondering, hope you will answer this :)

I've been wearing my Rekanken daily for nearly 3 years and it still looks like new. I still love it. So yes, it's worth it.

Great video... I have the stripped black, the fog, the warm yellow and the pink... I use Swell water bottles on both sides, one for plain water and another for hot coffee. Entertain me throughout my day outside and its really the most practical backpack.

My kanken which I’ve had for two years now is actually a bit more waterproof so I think that it varies a bit. As a student who rode to school, I’ve had the bag out in the pouring rain with my laptop and have ridden to school in the rain an infinite amount of times and everything was perfectly fine. So maybe take that into account.

I’ve always been on the fence about this bag, but the water bottle pockets and not being waterproof is a dealbreaker for me. Where I live it rains quite a bit and the summers are extremely hot and humid. If I happen to buy a bag that can’t take the rain I usually give it away. It looks like a good travel bag for me but I already have cheaper good quality bags that get the job done. However I love the simple design of Kankens.

My bag of choice has been the North Face Overhaul 40. Built like a tank with a real harness and basically bomb proof. Very water resistant. Handles big loads easily.

Such a good review!! Appreciate it👏👏👏

I love my Kanken too, despite the cons. I've had mine 3 years and I first bought one for my younger sister about 6 years ago. She asked for a cool backpack. Mine's oxblood red with blue straps. I bought those new attachable straps recently thinking it was navy but... nope. Navy's darker. My Kanken's been through so many things. Hiking trips, work, day trips. I carried it when I was getting my car serviced and the receptionist told me her 11-year-old daughter wanted one because of the influencers she sees on KZread but it was too expensive. I agree, it's a very expensive bag to buy for a 5th grader, and if you have 4 or 5 kids. My sister was graduating high school when I bought her the bag. I also bought a new mini purple with rainbow straps this year, and perhaps it can serve as a hand-me-down when I have kids. For now, it's a cute day bag when I was to look casual and not wear a handbag.

Just got the re-kanken mini in ox red. The decision for the mini is because I don't need to carry a laptop. I want it for city travel and casual hiking and it all fits perfectly. Yesterday my bag had: A knitted sweater, a knitted hat, my regular glasses case and sun glasses case, water bottle, granola bar, my card wallet, phone charger, lip balm, 2 small sunscreen bottles, a small bag with my makeup, and my phone fits perfectly on the side pocket (a little tight but that is great to not worry about pick-pockets). Overall I can tell this is going to be a great backpack for many many years to come.

I have the Kanken mini in frost green and I love it. I’ve had my backpack for about 4 years and I use it as a purse or a travel bag. I wear it all the time but it does look dirty since it’s a brighter color.

I have two Kanken bags for 6 years now. 15” laptop in forest green and the classic in blue ridge. Since I need to carry a laptop with me almost every single day, I wear the 15” for 90% of my time. The straps are so comfortable compared with the classic ones. Would definitely recommend these bags!

Fjallraven means arctic fox in Swedish. Yay fun facts!

So random, but it's something he got as a promotional thing I think. Here I thought they were a newer company within the last few years, but turns out they've been around! A testament to quality if I ever saw one.

it's amazing when things last a long time and in good condition! I would buy one of these if I didn't have my red Eastpack: it has lasted me 18 years so far and it still looks great 😀

@@vickynazramusic Thank you. ❤️ it was expensive: my mom only bought it for me because it came with a warranty for 20 years 🤣 (she said I couldn't ask for another one in 20 years ahaha) In my country, Eastpack and Kanken have good reputations because of their good quality. Although the waterproof "layer" wore off in the first 10 years to be honest

I'm thinking of getting this bag so this video was very helpful, thanks! :)

ive got black one yesterday,tysm for the review

I bought one second hand and have had it since last summer and I love it plus its already worn in and the dye is faded perfectly so I dont have to worry about not wanting to bring it places because its not new looking and can be dragged everywhere 🥰

I actually have to sizes of this bag since I loved the first one so much and wanted a more nutral color. I like that the bigger one has an extra compartment for my laptop and there is more space for notbooks then. And even if the bag offers more space it does not look too big (my initial doubts). The straps of the bigger one are more comfortable and look nicer then regular once in my opinion. + The best feature is the shape, I think a lot of bags have some unused space due to the rounded shape. + I also enjoyed open the sipper completely (for example on short trips). - But I also made some negative experience: I put some books and notebooks in my red bag for school and they all get red edges :( I did not experince the same with my new drak green one yet (but I did not used it that often for books ect) Greetings from Germany

I’m watching this since i’m planning to wash my kanken no. 2 today. I’ve been using it everyday too and I didn’t washed it for 10 months already. Mine is just dirty but still working very well and I can’t think of any bag that is good for everyday use that fits me. I am using it for almost 2 years now. It is worth it for me. By the way, I forget about the pad. I will use it again. Thank you for reminding.

The seat for the back structure of the bag is really good and when someone wants to ait down and needs to ait on aomething it is really easy to take it out and put it back in.

Thank you for your interesting review, this helped me!

This is literally my dream kanken :)

I would say the key to make people think your kanken is still new is to choose the colour wisely. Mine was royal blue and a lot of my friends say that my bag looks old although I’ve just only used mine for 3years.

I’m like really late but great vid! I have a black kanken and I use it for when I got to sleepovers at my friends house :D

I’ve been using the mini in ox red for over a year now and I love it. But some days it isn’t big enough for all my stuff for work, so I bought the classic in brick this week s as it was on sale. Great for work days and travelling. My daughter has been using need a classic for school for a couple of years now and we’ve had no problems.
