FAQs

What is the maximum laptop size this Totepack can hold?

The Fjallraven Kanken Totepack features an internal padded sleeve designed to securely hold laptops up to 13 inches.

Is the Kånken Totepack waterproof?

The Totepack is made from G-1000 HeavyDuty S, which is a highly water-resistant material. It provides excellent protection against light rain and splashes but is not fully waterproof for submersion. Its water resistance can be enhanced with Greenland Wax.

How do I clean my Kånken Totepack?

To clean your Totepack, use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Gently scrub any dirty areas. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron the bag, as this can damage the material.

Can I use Greenland Wax on this Totepack?

Yes, the G-1000 HeavyDuty S material is specifically designed to be adaptable with Greenland Wax. Applying the wax will enhance the bag's water and wind resistance.

What is the purpose of the seat pad?

The removable seat pad, located in a pocket at the back of the main compartment, serves as a convenient and comfortable sitting surface. It's perfect for taking a break wherever you are, ensuring you always have a dry spot to sit.

What is G-1000 HeavyDuty S?

G-1000 HeavyDuty S is a durable, water-resistant, and wind-resistant fabric developed by Fjallraven. It is a blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton, known for its longevity and adaptability with Greenland Wax.

Troubleshooting

My laptop doesn't fit in the sleeve.

The Kanken Totepack's padded sleeve is designed for laptops up to 13 inches. Please check your laptop's dimensions to ensure it is within this size limit. Larger laptops will not fit.

The bag material feels stiff or new.

The G-1000 HeavyDuty S material is robust by design. It will naturally soften with use over time. Applying Greenland Wax can also contribute to a slightly more pliable feel.

The bag's water resistance seems reduced.

The G-1000 material's water resistance can be revitalized. Apply Fjallraven's Greenland Wax to the fabric, following the wax's instructions, to restore or enhance its protective properties against moisture.

The shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or slip.

Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure they are evenly distributed and the bag sits comfortably and high on your back when used as a backpack. For shoulder bag use, ensure the strap length is appropriate for your body and carrying style.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will ensure your Kanken Totepack lasts for many years:

  1. Cleaning: Clean your Totepack using a soft brush and lukewarm water. Gently scrub away dirt and stains. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as this can damage the material and coatings.
  3. Water Resistance: The G-1000 HeavyDuty S material is water-resistant. To enhance or restore water and wind resistance, you can apply Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. Follow the instructions provided with the wax for application (typically involves rubbing on, then melting with heat from an iron or hairdryer).

  5. Storage: When not in use, store your Totepack in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
