FAQs
What material is the Fjällräven Kånken Laptop 15" Backpack made of?
It is made from Vinylon F, a durable synthetic fabric that is quick-drying and water-resistant. This material helps the backpack maintain its shape and provides protection against moisture.
Is this backpack waterproof?
The Vinylon F fabric is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion could lead to water penetration.
How much can the backpack hold?
The Fjällräven Kånken Laptop 15" Backpack has a volume of 18 liters.
What is the purpose of the seat pad?
The removable foam seat pad, stored in a pocket inside the main compartment, serves two purposes: it provides padding against your back when the backpack is full, and it can be taken out and used as a comfortable, portable seat during outdoor breaks or picnics.
Can I wash my Kånken backpack in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the Vinylon F fabric and components. Instead, spot clean your Kånken backpack with a soft brush, lukewarm water, and a mild detergent, then air dry.
What are the dimensions of the backpack?
The backpack measures 38 cm in height, 26 cm in width, and 17 cm in depth. The dedicated laptop compartment can hold laptops up to 36 x 26 x 3 cm.
Does it have side pockets for a water bottle?
Yes, it features two open side pockets which are suitable for carrying slim water bottles, an umbrella, or other quick-access items.
Troubleshooting
Laptop does not fit in the dedicated compartment.
Verify your laptop's dimensions. The Kånken Laptop 15" is designed for laptops up to 15 inches, with maximum dimensions of 36 cm (height) x 26 cm (width) x 3 cm (depth). If your laptop exceeds these, it may not fit.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable or dig into shoulders.
Adjust the length of the shoulder straps to ensure the backpack sits high on your back and the weight is evenly distributed across your shoulders. Avoid overpacking, as excessive weight can also cause discomfort.
Fabric appears dirty or has light stains.
Gently spot clean the affected area using a soft brush or cloth, lukewarm water, and a mild, pH-neutral soap. Rub gently and rinse with clean water, then allow the backpack to air dry completely in a well-ventilated space.
