How to clean fjallraven kanken

CARING FOR KÅNKEN

Whatever you do, don’t put Kånken in the washing machine. Instead, wash dirty marks with lukewarm water, mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. And when it comes to drying, you should hang up Kånken in a well-ventilated area that’s not exposed to direct sunlight.

If you put a Kanken in the washing machine, it could damage or discolor the material. Never wash one in a washing machine.

Soak your Kanken before you use it..

To get those really vibrant colours, we use a special dying technique. But this means there’s a chance the colour can rub off on your clothes – particularly light coloured clothing – so we recommend soaking Kånken for 30-60 minutes in lukewarm water before you start using it.

It is important to keep in mind though that Kankens are notorious for getting dirty, and darker colors (such as Ox Red and Graphite) are less likely to show the dirt they attract compared to lighter colors (such as Warm Yellow and Peach Pink). How do I clean my Kanken?

The real answer is “Fjallraven jackets cost $310 because FR charges that much and people keep buying them as fast as they’re produced”. If people didn’t want their jackets and stopped buying them so that FR had jackets sitting on shelves in their stores going to waste, they would drop their prices.

Kanken backpack classic is worth it, because it’s original. The material is an incredible quality and fits well for a high school student, and is waterproof. Excellent to travel. The color is fine, it looked darker.

Similarly to the jackets, the reason for Fjällräven backpacks being so popular is thanks to their quality and performance. The manufacturing, materials and quality are evident in all Fjällräven backpacks, and especially so in the Kånken, which is one of the brand’s most sold backpack designs to date.

With regards to the design, it is not designed to look “ironic” or “good”, it is designed to be a “cheap” backpack in a quality so that it can last 10 years for a student, and without the shoulder strap that was common in the 70’s, but caused backaches.

The Fjallraven Kanken is quite popular and trendy right now, and frost green is the most in-demand color. It’s the quintessential Swedish backpack and there’s no denying how attractive the rucksack is.

Water-Resistant

Fjällräven Kankens are brilliantly water-resistant. Vinylon F, the synthetic fabric they are made from, behaves more like a natural fibre and swells as it becomes damp.

Is the Fjällräven Kånken comfortable? The built in straps can easily hurt when you carry a heavy load, but if you spend the extra €20 for the shoulder pads it is as comfortable as can be.

To keep the items in the backpack from jabbing into your back, the Kanken has a foam pad inserted into the back panel. This provides a bit of extra cushion without adding weight. The great thing about the foam pad is that it can be removed and used as a seat cushion wherever you’re going.

The length of the straps:

Un-pop the press studs at the top of the two back straps (no matter how stiff, they do un-pop!) The strap should unfold. Use the adjustment toggles at the bottom to choose your perfect length.

Here’s a snip on how to put on your shoulder pads – Just fold the padding around the shoulder straps and secured with Velcro. Press buttons at the top hold them in place so they don’t slide down the strap. Get yours now!
