I love Fjällraven. And this bag provides me very good services on my bussines trips. Its useful and as a symbol of brand I do not hesitate to bring it at meetings of EU

Just to give a little background info; I have loved Fjällräven forever, and have had their bags, clothes and jackets. Being Scandinavian, growing up in the 80’s everybody had Kånken bags. Me too, it looks great and it is just really functional, as a kid I would use it for my school books and the bag lasted forever, my whole family had them and they would last at least 5-6 years easily, my mum’s longer as she was more careful. My last bag was packed away and I didn't use it for about 10 years and then decided to buy a new one 2 years ago as they were suddenly everywhere and I missed having my own. Joy! Well, for a while. Initially I did think the material had gotten a bit flimsy, thinner and the bag felt different form my old ones. I was right, the stitching came undone in several places and holes appeared in the corner, even though I am much more careful now a days than when I was a kid and stuffed it full of hardback books. I would say it was in good condition for maybe 6-8 months, then it started falling apart. It also seemed to get drenched every time it rained, I never remembered my childhood bags being wet and my school books damaged, but with my new bag the water went straight through soaking all the content so I think they might have started using cheaper materials to keep the prices low. I then discovered the Kånken No. 2, made from G1000 matreial, which I have had Fjällräven trousers in and know is waterproof so I thought I would give it a go as my last Kånken needed stitching up every 2 weeks and I was fed up having to cover it in plastic bags when cycling in the rain. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The bag is wonderful, the material feels much better quality, it seems bigger and is compared to my old original Kånken, but it says in the description it shouldn’t be, so maybe it is just because the material is softer, the front pocket seems bigger and the seat is covered in G1000 so it is slightly thicker than the one in the original Kånken bag. It is also waterproof and can be ‘re-waterproofed’ with the Greenland Wax bar which I find very handy, I used to use the wax bar for my trousers and it works really well either iron it on or use a hairdryer to get the wax absorbed by the material. The straps are thicker and the buckles made from metal (they are plastic on the original Kånken), the leather bits add a sense of style and endurance and the bag just seems like I remember the old Kånken: good looking and dependable! It is definitely worth investing the extra money to get the Kånken No. 2 if you are after a better-quality back pack.

This bag was a steal, I use it for everyday and it carries everything evenly. Weight is distributed all over your back and not just one area so there is no pain after carrying a lot... I recommended for people in school or just for everyday use for both sexes.

Ya conocía el producto, y es tal y como lo recordaba. Quizás es un poco caro, pero la calidad es buena y su durabilidad también.
